    This restaurant never disappoints! There are not many restaurants that will allow you to change sides and customize your entree choice. Sassafras’s atmosphere and staff are top notch.

    I love the vintage appeal of this restaurant with its stain glass windows , brick walls, and gas lanterns. I love that the background music was low and you could actually have a conversation with the ones you’re dining with without yelling over background music and noise. Our waitress was excellent and attentive and helped a member of our party with a food allergy issue. The menu offered a host of good choices and the food was delicious. Will definitely be dining here again and again.

    We enjoy going every year with our daughters and their spouses. It is now our “go to” place. The food is always good but this year the boom boom shrimp may have been a little overcooked. Everything else was good. The service was a little slow at first but got much, much better.
