    Delicious food and lots of food. The atmosphere is somewhat casual, so not quite a date night place but a terrific value.

    Amazing food, terrific waiter. Frustrated that although we booked standard tables they insisted on seating us at a high table which didn’t work for my elderly parents. The low tables remained open until 5 minutes before we left. Not great.

    If you’re a Piedmont Local you get privilege and priority, forget that it was my birthday and I made reservations. My fiancé and I was seated near the window where the music was blaring, we were completely ignored for most of the time, the curry took 45 minutes to come to the table, the ribs were burnt, and the portions were small for the price. Beautiful ambiance but I wont be coming back. Ill be at Champa Garden!

    Waitress wasn’t very helpful. Kept pressuring us to order, but had no suggestions to offer to help us with our decisions. We ordered an appetizer, salad, and entree. The food came out in reverse? Entree first, then salad, then appetizer. Maybe we would have had a better experience with a different waiter. All of the food tasted good, except the salmon was nothing special.

    A lovely experience at Saap. The food is consistent and the staff is very attentive to any dietary needs/restrictions. Everyone seems to work together seamlessly to ensure the best dining experience. The decor is quirky and more importantly sustainable! This is an amazing restaurant for those who have GF or peanut allergies.
