    Crab fondu was mostly chips with very little crab or cheese. Salmon with blue crab on grits with asparagus. We asked that it be well done but it wasn’t. We were in town for a college graduation. We would not eat here again if we were in Greenville.

    The service was amazing, and the food tasted great. My fiance got the filet with pimento and he really loved it. The macaroni has a slightly sweet/peachy flavor that he didn't favor too much. The salads were probably one of the best salads I've had in a while. The lettuce was very fresh and we could tell everything was cooked and prepared with patience. The setting of the restaurant was also very beautiful, candles on the tables(although for some reason me and my fiance did not have one) the open view to look out at Greenville, and feel some cool air was also a nice touch.

    Food was delicious as always. One dish was not up to their normal excellence and the manager addressed the issue immediately. My personal favorite restaurant in Greenville.

    Sassafras did not disappoint. The food and service were excellent. The fried chicken and crab cakes were out of this world. We love dining in downtown and Sassafras is one of our favorite restaurants.
