Review:
Ellis Square is one of Savannah's three "lost" public squares, originally designed in 1733 and demolished in 1954 to make way for the development of a parking garage. In 2005, thanks to the work of citizen activists, the square was restored to its original 18th-century configuration and is now home to popular public attractions such as a children's water fountain and jet plat area and a life-sized chess set. Visitors can rent CAT bikes at the entrance to the square's City Market and can relax at shaded tables throughout the square. Popular restaurants near the square include the Goose Feathers Cafe and the Lady and Sons Restaurant, operated by celebrity chef Paula Deen.
