Saffire is OUTSTANDING – My wife and I went in for our anniversary last night and it was wonderful. Our server, Joe, was very attentive and prompt. The Autumn Short Ribs as well as the fish and grits were to die for!! We will be back when my family arrives in town this weekend!! Saffire is truly a jewel hidden in the Factory of Franklin!! See you soon!

Pretty good gig – Brought my girlfriend here on a busy saturday night last week...we must've come in at the perfect time because we sat at the bar and then after us a crew of like 50 regulars rolled in. it was pretty awesome with everybody joking and talking and sharing wine and drinks with everybody else (even us!). saffire must have a monopoly on fun for a restaurant bar. the restaurant floor filled up too, and there was a jazz band playing. they were pretty good, though no singer--just instrumental. liked the music, food ... read more

Great place to relax and enjoy good food – My boyfriend and I went to Saffire on the spur of the moment on a Thursday night. The exposed brick walls, local artwork, beautiful old bar (hostess told us it was over 150 years old!) and live piano player all made the experience memorable. The speed of service was good and there seemed to be a general vibe of wanting everyone to be at a relaxed pace. Our server advised us that the head chef was from LA--where my family lives--and he came over to the table and we shared a lengthy c... read more

Half Price Wine Nights are the BOMB – I literally JUST came back from checking out Saffire's half price wine night (which they do every Tuesday!!!) and I have to say that I was very impressed with everything about this place. I had never been before (don't know why.. its in the Factory,) and I was pleasantly surprised. I hadn't heard the best things. People kept saying they had changed owners? The service was bad, or the food wasn't cooked properly, but I have to say that they hit it out of the park tonight. Our food was fan... read more

Worst service, worst food, don't go! – We made reservations at Saffire for 9:30pm so the restautrant was not crowded. We weren't greeted until 15 minutes after being seated. Server did not explain menu, after requesting bread twice since we were starving the server brought burned rolls that were horrible. We ordered two hundred dollar bottles of wine and they were dropped on our table, as the server ran back off to wait on someone else... It just goes downhill from there. My primerib was dry as could be....salad was drenched... read more

Poor Service – My brother and I decided to take my mom, and other members of our family, to Saffire for my mom's birthday. Unfortunately, we didn't have the best experience. Generally, we aren't hard to please, but the service was just not good. Initially, our waiter was nice (especially to my toddler), but then he quickly became overwhelmed. He was rushing back and forth between us and his other tables, yet oddly, he was still very slow and unattentive. We needed to ask for things and wouldn't see him for some time to ask h... read more

What a disappointment – My family and I had been to this restaurant about a year ago and had a great experience. The food was good and the service friendly. A year later, much has changed! I'm wondering if it is under new management. My family and I was part of a large group of people (many from out of state). When we got to the restaurant there was no hostess. We joined our party and we were greeted by an absolutely horrible server. He was so rude, short, and snappy. We waited 20 minutes for bread and only got it when we as... read more

Terrible servers – My husband and I visited Saffire on Sat. the 17th. The atmosphere was nice and the menu looked good. We had no trouble finding something desireable to eat. However, the service was not acceptable for that caliber of eatery. It took the server several minutes to greet us and take our drink orders. The one drink that we were given was the ONLY one we had for appetizers and a meal. He visited our table maybe twice. The food is decent, however it was not the best I've had. The service was awful. IT will be our... read more
