    This was our first visit to Sassafras and boy we were impressed. I made reservations on Open Table weeks prior to New Year’s Eve. When we walked in the door we were immediately seated. Our waiter, Alex B, was outstanding! He knew everything about the menu and specials. He was very attentive even on such a busy evening. Three of the four ordered steaks and said they were cooked to perfection. I personally ordered the salmon with the mango topping. It was amazing. We tried the brownie and key lime pie…FABULOUS. Thanks Sassafras and Alex B for making our New Year’s dinner out a fabulous experience. We will definitely be returning and suggesting Sassafras to our family and friends. Keep being amazing!
