Savannah’s beloved River Street dining scene just got a fresh addition — and it comes with a familiar face behind it. The former owner of Olympia Cafe has opened a brand-new restaurant called Limani on River Street, bringing a new culinary experience to one of the city’s most iconic stretches of waterfront.
The opening marks an exciting new chapter for a restaurateur who has long been part of Savannah’s food community. Limani joins the vibrant lineup of eateries that draw both locals and visitors to River Street, adding to the area’s reputation as a destination for great food and good times along the Savannah River.
Meanwhile, Savannah also made a splash on the competitive swimming circuit this past weekend, hosting the 2026 Peach State Swim Championships. The city welcomed swimmers from across the region for the prestigious event, showcasing Savannah’s growing role as a hub for athletic competition.
Adding to the local athletic pride, Team Savannah’s Brower turned in a standout performance on the third day of the USA Masters Elite competition, shining on a national stage and representing the community with distinction.
From a new riverside restaurant breathing fresh energy into River Street, to championship-level swimming and a local athlete making waves at a national meet, it has been a week full of reasons to celebrate in Savannah. Whether you’re a foodie eager to try Limani’s new menu or a sports fan cheering on local competitors, the Hostess City is serving up plenty of good news this July.
