The Savoy Returns
Short Order
The Savoy Room at the Shorecrest Hotel was closed
for many months but reopened in March as the Savoy Piano Bar and Lounge. Now
there is a black grand piano and the tablecloths are matching. The Art Deco
interior looks more dazzling than ever. There also is a new casual menu. Those
who remember the late Sally Papia’s steaks, veal and pastas might be
disappointed, but the budget-minded will love it. There are no entrees, just
appetizers, salads, soup, sandwiches and personal pizzas. Think mozzarella
marina, Italian beef and shrimp salad. The most expensive item is an open-face
steak sandwich ($12.50). There also is a veal sandwich, a big piece of pounded
and breaded veal that brings back memories of the old Savoy Room. While the
menu is modest, the setting remains as elegant as ever. Weekdays host a happy
hour with complimentary food. It’s an elegant setting with budget prices.
