    First experience at saffron- even after hearing glowing reviews from friends, it exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious, the drinks were fun and perfect, the wait staff was superb, and the environment was beautiful. I will definitely visit again, and hopefully soon.

    Good experience overall. Food is a little pricy for the portion size. Server was nice but need to spend more time dealing with us, rather than talking to his colleague at the front door. At one point I had to actually go look for him to let him know I wanted to add an extra main dish.

    An older couple was leaving as we were entering and they loudly exclaimed to each other as they were walking out “that was without a doubt the best meal i’ve had in my entire life”. They were underselling how amazing the food was and with such an immaculate atmosphere and attentive service it made it even more special.

    Wow, what an amazing thing to say Oliver! We are so honored. We appreciate this so much and hope to have you back soon.

    My girlfriend and I were treated like royalty. Service was phenomenal and food was great. The menu had a tasteful variety and fusions of American and Indian food and the staff was more than willing to accommodate and answer any questions we had.
