Saffron Mediterranean Kitchen

Absolutely delightful experience experience. Service was outstanding, food was VERY authentic and clearly crafted with care. The decor is tasteful and stylish and yes, it has ambiance. The only thing that MIGHT detract for some (it was perfect for me) was portion size. For some it may be a problem, especially if you’re a big eater. Again perfect for me (and very traditional Mediterranean) but others may complain. Will go back again and again!

Saffron Mediterranean Kitchen is one of our favorite restaurants. My wife and I dine here frequently, and I can genuinely say we have enjoyed every single meal. The quality and flavors are consistently superb, as well as the great cocktails. Our experience last night was no exception. The service was wonderful; our server was perfectly attentive without being intrusive. The food was divine, as always. We started with the Buñuelos des Pescado (halibut fritters), which were incredible. For my entree, the Méchoui Chicken was perfectly prepared, with a taste that was delightfully and authentically Mediterranean. I highly recommend Saffron for authentic, high-quality Mediterranean food matched with excellent service. We already look forward to our next visit!

Saffron is a gift to us all with a few shortcomings. The oysters were surprisingly fresh for the region. The beef cheek appetizer with royal trumpet mushrooms was incredible. The PAELLA VALENCIANA was just mediocre with unfinished rice. The chicken was beautifully prepared, but we left the uncooked rice. The Gifford Hirlinger bordeaux blend was basic and overpriced. The people here are holding this place together. I just think it's time for some QA to ensure they continue to serve us well.

Saffron has and always will be one of our absolute favorite experiences. The food is in a stratosphere of its own. Equally delicious and innovative. Our most recent experience was for their Breakfast for Dinner menu. Dishes were stellar and service was top tier. If you are visiting Walla Walla this is a must-see.

I've had the pleasure of eating at Saffron twice in the past week, once for dinner and once for their special lunch Pho Pop-Up menu. For the dinner, I tried appetizers, salad, main dishes, and desserts, and had the chance to try a lot of different items within these categories due to eating with a large group of friends and sharing what we all ordered. Everything was delicious, and I have specific praise for the flatbreads and handmade spaghettini noodles. This is the only restaurant I know of in our region that makes true handmade noodles, and the quality is so much better than that of typical packaged noodles. In general, all the dinner items exhibited culinary creativity without reckless experimentation—Saffron's recipes are innovative, yet ensure sophisticated and subtle flavor combinations. The Pho Pop-Up lunch menu was also amazing. I'm assuming their Vietnamese chicken wings must have been great, because they were already sold out when I arrived, but I got to try the special pho soup, and it was fabulous. I moved here from a city that had excellent and countless pho restaurants, so I have tried a broad range of pho broths over the years. The Saffron broth was authentic (not some off-the-rails attempt at "Asian fusion" like a lot of local restaurants try to do), with a perfect balance of the key requisite Vietnamese spices, and the noodles were cooked perfectly—neither under- nor overcooked. I also loved the Saffron employees. They are knowledgeable, efficient, and impressively cheerful, even during rush hours when they have many tables to take care of. They are also passionate about the food they serve and will help people new to the restaurant pick something ideal for individual tastes. Will definitely be taking my sweetheart out for dinner here in the near future!

I was excited to try this restaurant because the online menu looked amazing, and the reviews were really good. However, I just felt middle of the road about everything, to be honest. The service was polite and expedient, but very remote and aloof (it was fine, but we got such warm good service everywhere else that it really stood out). The visual atmosphere was gorgeous and romantic, BUT we were seated next to the door and there is a deeply obnoxious bell on it that rang every 3 seconds. It is so hard to relax when DING-A-LING you are DING-A-LING interrupted DING-A-LING ever few seconds. I was most excited about the food, but again just kind of let down. The pasta I had was really yummy, but the tuna in it did not taste fresh at all. I don't want to throw accusations around, but it tasted exactly like canned tuna. With the prices we were paying, that was confusing. Overall, nothing would make me give an extremely bad review, but nothing really amazed me about the place. Maybe I just need to try another dish. My husband liked the flatbread, so maybe I should get that next time.

Awesome creative food. Great service. Wonderful wine list. Highly recommend

22 Years and Still Spicing Things Up! We came to Saffron to celebrate our 22nd anniversary, and let me tell you—this place brought the flavor AND goodness. Every bite was a reminder that great things just get better with time (like marriage… and steak, pork, lamb). The food was legit—bold, fresh, and downright unforgettable. The service? Impeccable. We felt cared for, not just served. After 22 years, we’ve eaten a lot of meals together—but this one’s going in the highlight reel.

Wow, what a fantastic meal. Super cool decor and our server was the perfect blend of helpful, knowledgeable, and personable! The cocktails were really unique and delicious. As a savvy home bartender, I hope to recreate some of that magic!! The food is where Saffron shines - every app and entree was packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. Quail, pasta, halibut, salad, skirt steak - wow wow wow. Come here and don't look back!

Poor service. Took 90 minutes to get our main course, and the restaurant was half full. Menu looks very interesting and exotic. but it was wholly unremarkable. Green beans were mealy and with a weird sauce that only further buried it. Cocktail tried too hard and didn't succeed. The flat breads were very average, we've had so many versions elsewhere that were superior. Same with the wings. We ate at several other restaurants while here that were much more enjoyable. Ambiance is very nice. We ate at a restaurant with the same name a number of years ago and were hoping to have that same wonderful experience. Nope. We have a group of 8 friends who are coming next week and we let them know they should not come here as we had previously recommended.

We had an impromptu stop and were welcomed in with charm. Lovely intimate but not too 'loved up' atmosphere and our server was charming. The pasta and sauces were some of the most delicious we have consumed for years. A portion of cherry gazpacho was truly creative. A brilliant chef at the helm who creates brilliant dishes.....food was fair value..... Visit and you will not be disappointed......

While I appreciate a menu focused on exactly what an establishment does best, folks speak so highly of this place that I was a bit disappointed. My dinner companions felt similarly. Dined in a few times with friends and tried over half of the starters, entrees, and desserts, and all the flatbreads and sides. Ambiance is interesting. Table service was good but other interactions by phone or in-person were abrupt or rude, which seems silly. Like Walla Walla itself, one is initially charmed but that wears off when you spend a little time there.

What a delight. This place is beautiful. We kept pointing out light fixtures we loved. The staff is so friendly and helped us make our dinner choices. We shared the mezze app are that up pretty quick. The feta and homemade pita hit the spot. I had the gozleme and ate every bit. Highly recommend after a day of tasting in Walla Walla.

My family ( adult kids, spouses and my husband and I) met up in Walla Walla for a long weekend and had such a great time. Saffron had been recommended by my daughter's friend, and we could not have been happier with the service and especially the food. We got several appetizers to share, a favorite was the patatas bravas. Everyone enjoyed their entrées, I loved the Mechoui Chicken. Would definitely return.

Okay, was so amazing the first time visiting years ago. Unfortunately, service and food quality not the same

Our favorite restaurant in Walla Walla!! Absolutely incredible food and service (even with a packed restaurant). The restaurant is warm and welcoming, it feels quite intimate. Love the art and being able to see the kitchen. Our party enjoyed MEZZE PLATE, KIBBEH NAYYEH (lamb and beef tartare), SPECK & SWEET CORN, and a couple of sides of creamed corn for our starters (party of 6). For mains we enjoyed FETTUCINE NERO, GREEK BIFTEKI (beef and lamb burger), and the HANGER STEAK. They make the most incredible house-made pastas. We have tried them all over a season. The lamb burger is my favorite. This dish includes a house-made pita which is so incredibly tasty - I could take a stack home, tzatziki, salad, potatoes - all delicious. Servings are quite generous, therefore, you might have leftovers. Cocktails are excellent. And, they have a great wine list of local wines. We brought a couple of bottles and paid the cork fee. Our server decanted for us and brought out fresh glasses when we switched from Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon. There is plenty of street parking. And, it's a nice walk if you're staying at the Marriott or the Marcus Whitman (few extra blocks). We try to get into Saffron every time we visit Walla Walla. I have found the food and service to be exceptional and I always look forward to returning. Incredible experience. I thank the team!!

We had reservations based on the recommendation from a friend who said that Saffron is the best restaurant in town. She was right! In fact, we just got back from 3 weeks in italy (Amalfi Coast and Piemonte region) and my dish at Saffron far exceeded anything I had in Italy. I had the duck with creamed corn. The duck on its own was very tasty and perfectly cooked, and the creamed corn (also delicious in its own right) perfectly complemented the flavors of the duck and all I say is OMG. My husband is a very good cook so we rarely eat out as we are often underwhelmed, but if all restaurants served such delicious meals, we would eat out every night! Our biggest disappointment is that Saffron is closed on Sunday and Monday so we can't return before we leave town!

Service was great. Potatoes were yummy. Flatbread was ok. We came here on a Tuesday night and got right in.

Everyone & everything here is fantastic! The breads all of them...any of them get them---knee weakening wonderful gluten magic. The mastery of proteins is staggering, so I suggest getting octopus/pulpo whenever it's on the menu. Recently had a beguiling flatbread of mortadella and coppa-touched with a vinaigrette and arugula & cheese. Perfection. All the desserts are amazing here, unlike most restaurants these days where the times and memories of pastry chefs have faded. Get dessert! Get a drink or wine that you haven't tasted before. Lovely bar area if you like to watch a kitchen function effectively and with a modicum of happiness and joy. Great service provided by an eclectic crew of hosts who probably have tasted what's on the menu---seems simple right? I'm gonna quote Fergus Henderson "simple is not easy ".

The food is delicious and the owner Island is so awesome! They have a great wine list as well! Definitely a must stop in walla walla (they do get busy on the weekends especially so def make a reservation in advance!)

Kindness goes a long way! @ Saffron Mediterranean Kitchen in Walla Walla, WA. !! We were indeed shown kindness this Saturday afternoon when we entered this fine dining establishment. The restaurant was quite busy and we walked in behind a party who had a reservation. In need of a good meal, we took a chance without a reservation, and were lucky enough to be told that they might have a spot for us. Once we arrived at our lovely table, we were warmly greeted by Tom. He was personable, friendly, and courteous while providing excellent service. The staff worked well together and in harmony. Our waters were refilled accordingly. Finished dishes and corresponding silverware were taken away, then the next course was set in its place. We enjoyed our time here and were thoroughly satisfied with our dinner from start to finish. Our appetizers were well-prepared and delicate. Our entrees were thoughtfully created, savory, and delicious. The dessert was rich, creamy, and devoured instantaneously... so good! The space itself was beautiful with unique and charming furnishings. We would sincerely like to thank Island for showing us kindness tonight. We had a wonderful dining experience! Thank you.

Saffron always surprises us with outstanding menu selections and this visit was normal and wonderful. I ordered the watermelon gazpacho and the melon was a delight in a tomato base. For the table we shared a flay bread pizza and it was very good. No pieces left to take home. My main was the Mafadine and the tuna was fresh from Oregon. This dish has so many tastes with sweet corn, pea shoots, pancetts and mushrooms that it pleases for ever. The service was good at first but as the place got busy, the sevice thinned out a bit. Still we got our share of attention. Ambience was loud. That's a big drawback if you choose to talk to your guests. Or, listen to them. A wonderful menu and one of our favorite food stops in Walla Walla.

Quail app was tasty. Ribeye was average at best. They served it cut up . Just okay....

AMAZING. Extremely attentive and knowledgeable staff. Seated promptly at reservation time. We had two meals- fish (halibut) and pasta (malfadine) and both were excellent. The fish was hot, moist and flaky. The sauce wise bright and not overly salty. The crispy potatoes added texture to the dish. The malfadine was also steaming hot and al dente. No oversalting this dish either, which really let the flavors shine. The suggested wine pairing was spot on. Pretty atmosphere and decent acoustics- we didn't have to yell to hear each other! I loved that a heavy dessert ( cheesecake) was served in a manageable size - not a big slab) so that it could be enjoyed without feeling heavy and stuffed afterwards. Definitely worth dining here over and over. Beware- no substitutions, but they will delete ingredients - of which we needed neither.

Made for a lovely Valentine's Day dinner! Had the Patatas Bravas and Kebbeh Nayyeh shared as appetizers, followed by the Lahmacun flatbread and Hanger Steak. All were paired with Freewater Winery Syrah '20. All dishes were excellent, I particularly enjoyed the almond and caperberry salsa with the hanger steak. My girlfriend had the Lahmacun flatbread, it was a remarkably robust entree that I'm hoping to get myself on a future visit! I ordered the hanger steak medium rare but found some parts of the cut to be quite rare/blue.

My pre birthday dinner, recommended by a friend as well. Nice cocktails selections and wines (of course). We had beef cheek, mushroom flatbread (mushroom lover must to have!) and lamb and beef sausage pasta with tomato sauce dish (which was very bright even with heavy meat, made a dish delightful). All dishes are great, served with house made bread and olive oil and I would come back here to try other dishes next time. I ordered Cab from Bledsoe without paying attention (we visited their winery in Bend), juicy red. Nice service is always a big plus!

Walked in early on Saturday of December barrel tasting weekend. Great space and nice service! Tried the pulpo a la gallega (good flavor but would have loved some difference in texture), the wood-grilled quail (super tender and amazing flavor!), the cresti di gallo pasta (incredible!!!), and the mozzarella budino (decadent and delicious). The server also helped pair a couple glasses of wine with what we ordered and we were very pleased with the pairings.

This restaurant is the total package: great flavors, awesome service, and a fabulous atmosphere. I'm especially amazed by the creative, yet comforting food, as well as the carefully balanced drinks. I had the speck and ricotta flatbread, haloumi and za'atar appetizer, and the Zohan (one of the delicious gin drinks). It was all delicious. My only regret is that I didn't order and try more. This is my second visit and I'll certainly be back.

The inside is beautiful... service on task! And the food... so good...quality, interesting flavors and would be our go to place if we lived here. Make the reservation!!!

Delicious food and drinks. Service was responsive and friendly. Restaurant has a nice decor.

The server was extremely knowledgeable, and walked us through popular dishes. The food was unbelievable--we will be back again to try the dishes we couldn't squeeze in. Everything exceeded expectations. It was the best meal we've had in a long time, and we eat out quite often.

Amazing flavors with thoughtful, innovative pairings. The quality of the waiter was outstanding but he was stretched to cover more tables then they typically fill on Thursday night. Still he made our dinner a wonderful experience. This is a unique makeover of a classic Walla Walla building. It definitely captures an Egyptian ambiance. Will definitely eat here again.

Before I review, I must apologize. It was so delicious and I was in such an amazing food bliss, I did not take photos. I should have, because presentation was lovely, but it was just so good that I forgot. Key points: Outdoor seating is dog friendly. You have to call to make a reservations (wish I could have done it online!), but the patio is first come first served. Parking is abundant on the street. Our server was absolutely perfect. He was friendly without being overbearing, he was prompt, and I have had lots of shawarma in my life, but have never had it in this way: What I'd call Ethiopian style, where everything was laid out on a big pita, and you ripped pieces off and made mini taco-like bites. It was FANTASTIC and my new preferred way of eating it. The lamb was shredded more than chopped and it made for a great base. We also got the falafels and the peach salad. Falafels were very good, and it's always interesting to me to see what shapes they come in. These are discs and came with a homemade tzatziki (pro tip, save it for your entrée, it heightens everything!). The peach salad was fresh peaches and apricots, with pickled onions, harissa, and a few other things, with a light summer dressing. Honestly, it was an absolutely perfect place for a light date night on a long weekend. I kind of wish we had time to go back twice. Highly recommend for a delightful experience.

I was excited to eat here after a long 4.5 hour drive from Seattle. My husband also hyped it up, probably too much and set my expectations really high. We started with the peach salad, which was light, refreshing and not what I was craving after a long drive. The raciones/ appetizers are really small even for sharing between two people. The beef cheeks were AMAZING though. This should be made an entree and doubled in size. We shared the ribeye steak with kale. The steak wasn't marbled / fatty enough for me, although my husband who prefers leaner steaks liked it. We finished with the blueberry cheesecake which didn't have enough blueberry for me. I'd come back though to try more dishes as people have raves about this restaurant.

It's a solid meh. The kitchen could learn to use salt We literally waited 40 mins for our food My salmon was very dry My husbands steak was burnt to a crisp on the outside ( not an intentional blackening- just novice cooking skills) and then cut into chunks like it was being served to a 5 year old. The beverage list is not great- not a good variety of items, no REAL, dark beer. Everything we had was "meh"- it was odd how "water like" everything tasted The potato bravas were not those classic-fried-crispy-on-the-outside-soft-o- the-inside gems you find elsewhere , but rather pasty raw spice seasoned baked potatoes. Again, salt would have been nice. If I was at a cafe having a quick bite it would have been fine, and I did eat it because I was hungry, but I would never eat there again for this price.

You are a fool not to eat here. Fresh ingredients, so many flavors. Brown butter Turkish hummus? Cardamom spiced cocktails? Crispy potatoes? The most wonderful keftedes flat bread. Ambiance? Perfection. Service? Also, perfection Go here. Eat it all.

I've had the pleasure of dining here three times this month. My daughter and I stopped by for dinner when I dropped her off for a summer camp at Whitman. We didn't have a res, but arrived early and managed to score a cancellation. Our experience was so good that when I returned to pick her up, 3 weeks later, I made reservations for BOTH nights that I'd be in town! Service is outstanding. Staff are genuine and well trained. The vibe is upscale. The menu changes often (it was different for our return trip), and everything seems to be sourced locally, yay! This is a true farm to table style restaurant, not one that just pretends as a gimmick. Everything is made from scratch, and flavors just dance. They know what to do about, and pay attention to, food allergies. I really appreciate that. Everything I've tried had been fantastic. I don't need to single anything out, because the menu changes often, but I don't think you can go wrong with anything here. Yum. I will mention that the one dairy free dessert, sorbet, might seem a bit underwhelming at first thought. ORDER IT!!!! Saffron's sorbet is light and utterly refreshing, delightfully delicious, and not too sweet. It's the perfect texture, and the bold flavors leave you in a perfectly happy place, a wonderful finish to dinner. I've tried their lime mint and lemon basil, and both knocked my picky socks off. Mmmm.

We've been dining here for over ten years. Saffron is consistent with their food quality and taste. We had several appetizers, the favorite of which was the grilled octopus. We ordered every pasta, the mushroom flat bread and the lamb leg. The rigatoni was the stand out dinner dish. For dessert we really enjoyed both the pistachio mousse and the fruit charlotta. I've never had the latter before so no frame for comparison but it was pleasing to the palate. Great cocktails and wine, too. Reservations required.

5 stars for food & drinks / 3 stars service I've heard so much about this restaurant. I want to start off by saying how delicious and tasty the food is here. Everything was packed with flavor (what we ordered anyway). We came during restaurant month. Everyone at the table had to do the restaurant month menu or not. There was no flexibility which was a bummer. We were told the restaurant month menu portions were smaller anyway and not recommended for sharing even if we all ordered different items. It was fine though. We decided to order a few appetizers and entrees to share family style and it worked better for us. This was communicated when we ordered our food. We didn't get additional serving spoons until requested. Our assigned server was hard to flag but thankfully another server from another section was more accommodating and made sure we weren't forgotten. I'm happy to finally get to try this place out. It's definitely on my list to visit again.

Always delicious with fantastic service! I especially like their falafel. Yum!! The happy hour is a great deal.

The words we used to describe our interaction with the hostess last night: immature, aggressive, unnecessary. We were so excited to come here, and were even looking at the menus ahead time and talking about what we'd order. I regret not reading the negative service reviews more closely, as there are many. Add us to the count. We were so disappointed to be greeted by a major problem as a hostess. Incredibly rude and she lied. We left and went to FU burger instead and it was amazing.

The food was fresh and the spices perfectly balanced. Romantic ambience with rustic decor. The French white wine was chilled and tasty. The meal truly exceeded our expectations and we are very grateful to get reservations on the same day ! The highlight of our Anniversary dinner was Ross. Wow! Our waiter/host was above and beyond attentive, graceful and humorous. He really created a feeling of being well taken cared of. He answered all our questions and was the most charming lovely man that I have ever met! I wish we could clone him so we could enjoy such upscale service whenever we dine out. Ross is the epitome of being a true gentleman.. with class and sass combined! I plan to dine at Saffron again and of course ask for Ross;)

Nice ambiance, reasonable service.. food was very disappointing. Salad was ok.. small portions for the price point. Calamari with chickpeas was odd..not much calamari or flavor. Hanger steak was ok, but olive and caper berry topping way too tart and not wine friendly. Lamb dish over cooked and very very salty.. we returned this dish.. diner who had ordered this dish and tried to eat it was up all night with abdominal discomfort. Dish was replaced by lasagna, which took a long time and was also quite salty. Overall a big disappointment for a place with challenging reservation system and many high ratings. Although upon reviewing yelp,, it's interesting to see how many poor reviews they receive..

Granted, a lot has changed since our last visit, not least of all Saffron moved to a new, larger space. Unfortunately, the food is not as creative and interesting as it was.... Started with the calamari with yu choi. The yu choi was like a cross between rapini and mustard greens. The many stems were tough. There was a good amount of this in the small wooden bowl it was served in. There wasn't much calamari, and what there was, wasn't very flavorful. The entrees were adequate to off base, well below what we had come to expect. The paella had a burnt flavor throughout. It was too moist and that detracted from the the rice crust - which is a key component of a good paella. The chicken and sausage were flavorful and good. The seafood component was indeterminate. The halibut entree, was okay, but lacking in interest. It was served with peas and fava beans - very spring like, but lacking in much flavor depth or interest. The wines by the glass were surprisingly limited and not particularly good or memorable. The menu was very limited, so if things don't work out, there are little other options. I realize they recognize the majority of their customers are tourists so there is little incentive to produce top notch meals. If that's the case, it's so dispiriting because formerly, they were so good.

Food was very good, although portions were small for the $$. Preparation is not what I expected but it was a nice surprise.

This place knows what they are doing. The mixology is precise, the wings are the second best I have ever had, the pasta was cooked perfectly.... I love it

We were very disappointed in the service from reservations to seating to service. Everyone we encountered were snooty and elitist for what was a mediocre, overpriced meal. Our drinks were small and the wine list was nothing special for a restaurant catering to visitors coming to the area for wine tastings. No vegan options and few vegetarian ones. The pasta plates were okay but again, nothing special. There are much better options for a nice dinner near downtown Walla Walla.

First time at Saffron and we LOVED it. The service was awesome ... friendly, experienced, and attentive. The space was beautiful and creatively designed. The ambiance was relaxed and not noisy. The food was excellent from start to finish. For mains we had the Lumache pasta dish and the Black Pepper Fettuccini dish. A memorable dinner, and we'll definitely return on next trip to Walla Walla.

We took a chance walking in for dinner on a Saturday, while the website and sign out front recommended reservations, we called ahead and we're advised to walk in. Upon arrival (~6pm on a Saturday), we had the option of sitting on the patio or the bar counter - they were able to seat us with no issue and we were greeted promptly by a a very attentive waiter that was 100% on it all evening. The lamb and beef tartare (kebbeh nayyeh) was a fantastic (and nicely portioned) appetizer. Perfectly seasoned with an optional garnish (for those who can eat cilantro). We had the hanger steak and the lamb, both were cooked to perfection. The steak was a little rare for medium rare (which actually isn't bad at all), and the lamb was perfectly seasoned, fork tender. The spices were just right and we cleaned our plates. Ended the evening with the Mozza Budino (butterscotch pudding with caramel and whipped cream), delicious. 100% great service, wouldn't hesitate to come back next time we're in town.

Great food and service! Reservations is a must. Always booked. We thought we were going to miss the chance to dine here as we were late coming from the airport. We called to cancel. They didn't have any other open slots that night. We stopped by anyways, when we finally got to town. Half hour prior to closing, they graciously took us in! We were tickled pink and stomachs were extremely satisfied!

My husband and I heard about Saffron from several locals and took a chance to walk in and lucked out with an outdoor table. We were each talking about our meal there now days later it was so good. We had been wine tasting all day so were in the mood for just one course so he picked the tuna pasta which went beyond expectations with homemade noodles in a red sauce with flakes of tuna. I had the chicken on orzo and the presentation was beautiful. The flavors just burst through and this was an elevated chicken experience. Moist, flavorful and complex. We did not feel rushed, enjoyed every last morsel, a perfect night.

This restaurant nails it when it comes to flavor and service. They still respect safety guidelines asking you to call before entering. They open the doors immediately for you and welcome you in politely. The staff if very professional and has high standards for service. They all dress and groom well, with clear communication, you can tell they train well here. The food came quickly and temperature was perfect. I had the Porchetta and family hade the Pide. The flavors were out of this world delicious. The pork was slow roasted and the mushrooms were to die for. I tried the Pide and was a blown away by the Amazing flavors. Im no Connoisseur but this place has it together on the menu. Oh, I can't forget the homemade bread it soo delicious. Don't hesitate to try this local restaurant out. They are bars above the competition!

Did not eat here as the host was very offputting. I am not going to nitpick or give a blow-by-blow, but based on other negative reviews I see I am not the only one that feels this way. We left and ate at Brasserie Four down the street and had a fantastic meal.

Over priced. Pomace and derogatory. The wait staff was good but food completely different story...but overall will never go back.

My dining experience here was divine! A gift from the heavens! Sublime! Nirvana-esque!!! The space is gorgeous - airy lattice work, beautiful lanterns, and lots of booths. My husband and I ordered most of their appetizers and shared. We enjoyed EVERYTHING, though I was particularly impressed with the grilled romaine, the taztiki (best I've ever had), and how tender the octopus was. It was one of the best food experiences I've EVER had. Everything was that delicious and thoughtfully prepared! We also enjoyed their cocktails and finished with some dessert wine. An impressive wine, aperitif, and digestif listing! Our server, Bryant, is a national treasure and must be preserved at all costs! I am a picky ass bitch when it comes to hospitality and he blew me away. We made reservations and I told the host I can't eat cow dairy. Bryant and the BOH scoured the menu for everything I could eat and what could easily be modified or replaced (Bryant I ate that damned delicious taztiki and I did get a SMALL cyst - totally worth it). He was pleasant to the extreme - infectious good mood, excellent singing voice, food nerd, and corny jokester. The only downside is I live out of state and won't be eating here every week Thank you Saffron for an incredible dining experience!

What can I say, but wow. Great flavors, and gourmet food. Better than Northern California or Napa. Thank you.

Wow! What a great place. Food is great and service is exceptional! Highly recommend!
