Funky fusion hardwood-grilled fish and pit-roasted meats make this a Franklin hot spot. – In Short The smell of slow-cooking meat pulls you into this converted factory, where velvet-draped windows and high ceilings add a twist to the dramatic dining room. Couples and friends sit at the ornate bar or at one of the mismatched tables and chairs to watch cooks perform in the exposed kitchen. The gutsy menu combines Cajun cooking with fresh hip-hop fun. Pit-roasted meats satisfy serious carnivores and grilled Gulf seafood entrees... read more
I am not sure what happen – Saffire has been my favorite restaurant in Nashville since it moved into the Factory. We recently had dinner there and noticed things were not right from the beginning. The average bread showed up on a saucer. Previously you were offered a selection of breads with an amazing butter. We decided to go with appetizers & drinkers for dinner, but 2 out of 3 of our appetizers were VERY disappointing. I wish someone could tell me what happen. Did it change ownership? It seemed like corners were being cut... read more
we love saffire – We have visited saffire several times in the past year, most recently with a group of 20 people to celebrate my 25th birthday. Our food is ALWAYS wonderful. The service is always above par and was even great with the large group of people arriving at different times. The fish/shrimp and grits is always a favorite and the special fish is always great as well. The best all around is the pan fried chicken with sonoma cheddar mac & cheese! We will keep going back to saffire and taking out of town guests here as... read more
Great for a date or special occassion! – I live in NYC and Saffire could rival many Manhattan restaurants. My fiance and I dropped by for an early-evening dinner date and left simply delighted. The atmosphere is eclectic and charming. The food is deliciously creative and tantilizing. The service was equally impressive. We were offered a delicious Spanish, red wine at a steal-of-a-price that went incredibly well with our decorative platter of mouthwatering cheeses and fruits. We had an indulgent dish of Shrimp and Grits, the ... read more
Sayonara Saffire!! – Tonight was my 3rd and LAST visit to Saffire. The food is average and the service leaves a little bit to be desired. I first re-visited last year for my b-day and was dissapointed when my father's steak arrived 20 minutes after the rest of our meal was delivered. Tonight for my b-day we waited 20 minutes before even being recognized by the server at our table and then another 15 minutes before we received our wine. The so-called wonderful "fish and grits" (which is the ONLY reason we even went back) was ... read more
Yum! – One of our favorite places. The bartenders are fabulous (Tanya makes the best cosmo in Nashville). Food it always great. Try the fish and grits...no really...trust me on this, it is fabulous! Oh, and the cheese plate...
Wow. – Saffire, tucked away in the revived 'Factory' shopping complex on Franklin Road, is one of the best restaurants I have visited in Franklin. It isn't cheap, but the food is nothing short of scrumptious and the atmosphere of the entire restaurant is VERY relaxing. You get what you pay for. The service is impeccable. This is NOT a place for rowdy kids! :-) I recommend trying this restaurant at least once, or you haven't tasted Franklin!
Finally! – After living in Franklin for two years, we finally made it to Saffire for our anniversary. Wow! Knowledgable server, seamless bussing, attentive throughout. We began with a ravioli starter on the advice of our server- great move. My husband's caesar salad was amazing, with a giant crostini spread with herbed cream cheese. I had a cider-glazed salmon filet atop the tastiest spinach ever. Alongside were roasted red potatoes and shitake mushrooms, all over a creamy parsnip puree. Fantastic! My husband's Flintstone-si... read more
Franklin's best – The shotgun-style restaurant has tables down the left, a bar to the right, and a beautiful, gorgeously lighted kitchen in the back. The decor -- and the crowd for that matter -- was trendy and cool. Tappas-style appetizers make for a nice start. Single-serve bruschettas, wild mushroom skewers, and shrimp with mango salsa. Sturdy, eclectic winelist. Our entrees -- an excellent grouper in bernaise sauce and a smoked prime rib -- were among the best we'd had in a Nashville area restaurant. Fresh strawberries w... read more
