Husk, which sits at 12 West Oglethorpe Ave, is one of my favorite fine dining establishments in Savannah. This 1890s-era building first served as a private residence but, for a majority of its existence, served as an Elks Lodge! That's why, to this day, you can see 4 letters on the sidewalk in front of the building - B.P.O.E - or "Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks."
After the Elks found another headquarters, this building was a Montessori School for a few years until a major fire destroyed much of the structure in 2009. After extensive repairs that included a new roof and parapet, the beautifully renovated building opened as Husk in 2018 and hasn't looked back. Serving creative dishes packed with ingredients local to the low country, there's always something new to try with each visit!
