"This was our second visit to Saffron as we were celebrating my birthday. This restaurant never fails...the food is great, the staff is very nice, and the sangria is really good. The tapas are LARGE portions, so be careful not to order too many especially if you are having an entree. Paella dishes are plenty to share between two people."

"Saffron is a lovely restaurant. The service was excellent and the food even more so! It's a little pricey, as are most tapas restaurants, but Saffron was higher than most for a local restaurant. The peach sangria is wonderful, and don't miss, I mean DON'T MISS the bread pudding for dessert!"

"In short, Saffron had excellent food. Of the many dishes the 3 of us ordered, the worst rated as "very good" while the best (tough choice between the lamb, the salad, and the bread pudding) were excellent."

"We may have ordered the wrong things. The waitress suggested seafood with crispy noodles. The noodles were not crispy, just undercooked and hard. She only shrugged and apologized."

"We were a small group and went for the "all you can eat tapas" luncheon. The food was delicious. I couldn't eat everything there (I don't eat pork) but there was such a large selection, we all left full, without having to order more than they gave us the first time around. There was one waitress there, and she handled everything perfectly. Service was terrific. Very pleasant ambiance. Good for families, good for a date, good for a group of friends. Highly recommended. We all plan on going back."
