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
Absolute top of the line! – Saffire, simply put, is the best restaurant in Williamson County and perhaps in Nashville as well. The menu is a delight to read with combinations of ingredients unique in this area, the wait staff is very knowledgable about food and wine alike and the food is absolutely outstanding (the sides are especially good). The ambience promotes a casual feel, but background noise can get loud when busy. Eclectic wine list. Highly recommended!
Sadly Disappointed – Evening began with not easily locating restaurant, and culminated with a less-than-desireable meal. While the serving staff and management offered to correct any "problems", one would expect these to be corrected before the meal hits the table. The room is noisy, therefore sound abatement curtains or walls should be hung to minimize this (which wouldn't be a problem if it were a frat house), but a romantic get-away...it's not. Food was overpriced and unspecial. Prime rib was over 60% fat and waste. A din... read more
Great Atmoshpere, Over Priced Food – I had dinner here on a Wednesday night. The menu was imaginative, colorful but lacked quality. I had swordfish and grilled vegatables. The swordfish was over cooked and the vegatables were very salty. My date had the Tuna, it had a slight burnt taste with little flavor. I also had the soup, very creative but very salty due to the soy milk base. Dinner cost over $50 dollars but was worth 1/2 that.
Sunday night music – I love writers night at the Bluebird and go as often as I possibly can but this past Sunday night at Saffire's rivaled the best local writers show I've seen for quite some time. I enjoyed several evenings of fine dining at this establishment before finding out about their Sunday night show. Consider me a Sunday night regular from now on. If you like fine food and fine music definitely check it out. It's quite a step above the rest!
