I did some research and found all similiar reviews to the first 5 on this site. They all sounded a lot like press releases. I mean 5 stars and NO cons? I highly doubted any restaurant that opened less than a year ago could boast that level of perfection, so I had to see for myself. At the suggestion of most "reviewers" I tried the berry dessert... and it was okay. Nothing spectacular though. So it surprises me that every single reviewer raves about this dish. Overall the food wasn't terrible and service was okay, although slow (which was surprising given that there were 2 other people in the restaurant). I can't comment on the noise level inside because I visited the Savant Project for lunch and the volume was moderate. Although walking down Tremont on most nights, I'm always amused to hear what the SP is playing. One night it's a Jack Johnson cover band and the next it's some techno/house music - you never really know what you're going to get. But it's good for a laugh. One reviewer made a comment about young professionals and doctors frequenting the SP. I've only ever seen MassArt/Berklee kids there. And that's fine if that's your scene, but I highly doubt a 30+ year old surgeon will find this place a relaxing after-work lounge. Would I go back? No. But it was interesting to try it once. To quote an article in the Metro: "It seems that they are too busy trying to create a mood with the deafening live poetry slam music and too-clever concept to actually find out if you’re enjoying anything."
