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
Great Bar, good food, great service – The food has always been good especially the daily fish special, the drink are innovated and pretty cool (alittle pricey but good). The bartender is the best she is always friendly and the service is excellent. I love the Old Factory in Franklin... they also have good outdoor eating facilities. Gem of a find in Franklin.
Love the cocktails & the Food – The food is always consistant, the mix master behind the bar has some kicking martini's. The barbecue shrimp is great and comes with hot french bread. I usually get the fish special and my Husband ordered the pork chops on our last visit, which was (2) extra large chops cooked to order. Great food and cool place to have a meal.
Blue is an appropriate color... – For what this restaurant offers in ambiance it sorely lacks in food quality and service. What a holy nightmare this place was, and during a lunch hour slow enough that we were two of only four guests in the entire restaurant, with a disheveled staff of about 15. The food took 45 minutes, while one dish (a salad, no less) had to be completely redone, and my husband's pork tenderloin was a charcoal briquette by the time it and my (second) soggy entree salad made it to the table. The server was... read more
LOVE IT! – Saffire is just what my husband and I were looking for! While culinary wonders are a short drive away in Nashville, Franklin itself doesn't have an abundance of great dining experiences. Saffire is an excellent alternative to driving to Nashville for a night out. The food is great Southern fare and the atmosphere is cool and eclectic. While the service is not the best we've ever experienced, the servers are friendly and fun. Highly recommend the chicken fried chicken with Loveless gravy if your looking to tantaliz... read more
Perfect Evening, Thanks Saffire! – I recently took my wife to dinner at Saffire for our 5 year aniversary. From start to finish our night was perfect. We had the emapnadas to start. They were prepared just right and had great flavor. My wife and I both got the Fish and Grits and were very happy with it. The wine list was great and our server recommended a great chardonnay that we really enjoyed. I cant wait to return to Saffire. Keep up the great work.
What's happened? – I don't know why I keep coming back to the place. As for the good reviews those people must have never gone to a "good" restaurant. I've eaten across the US and let me tell you this is not a good restaurant. The food is just ok, everything tastes the same. They used to have a great "Happy Hour" so that made it passable but now they don't even have that. Did something change at Saffire's? I would not recommend this place to anyone.
