When our friends arrived in Savannah on Thursday, we wanted to greet them with a lovely, relaxing Low Country dinner. After doing some research we both agreed that Bonna Bella Yacht Club would be the perfect spot. Located a bit off the beaten path, Bonna Bella is accessible via both car and boat, just a 20 minute drive from downtown Savannah.
Want to bring a smile to the face of weary travelers who are kicking off vacation? Give them a menu that shows $4 drinks along with marsh views and sunshine.
The views from our large table were spectacular and within minutes we were toasting to the start of a long weekend and soaking in the sunshine.
After our first round of beers, appetizers were in order. Luckily the Bonna Bella menu is quite extensive for a dockside restaurant, featuring 15 different appetizers. We chose things which could be easily shared including the peel & eat shrimp, crab fritters, shrimp skewers, and pork sliders. The only thing missing from their menu were hush puppies!
As I was more focused on talking than choosing an entree, I let the waitress choose. She highly recommended their mexi-cali style tacos which are available with pork, shrimp, fish, and vegetable. The tacos were a popular item with our group and when they arrived we all agreed that they were the right choice! The fried fish and blackened shrimp options were by far my favorite!
After a relaxed dinner we headed over to the corn hole area where many of us tried our luck with the bean bag sacks. When we weren’t tossing we were sipping Sweet Water 420 and enjoying the perfect evening. 
If you’re visiting Savannah, or a local, head over to Bonna Bella Yacht Club for delicious food, inexpensive drinks and great views. The staff is friendly, the dining areas have large fans to keep the temperatures cool and the restaurant and bar don’t close until the last patrons are ready to leave.
