    Everything you would expect from an outstanding upscale dinning experience! From the Dj in the corner to the entire restaurant design this place is the entire vibe. Food, as I sit here typing and munching on my leftovers with the most basis of reheat options, the microwave, take me right back to when my lobster drunken noodles and lobster fried rice were dropped of at my table last night hot and fresh! Chef's Kiss, thank you. Drinks warmed your soul as well. But more over the reason I'll definitely be back many more times, is they recognize you're coming out spending hard earn money for a chance to relax and enjoy a night out, never felt rushed to just eat and leave! We were encouraged to just enjoy our items as they arrived and continue our conversation or listening to the music and people watching! Thank you for an all around dinning experience cant wait to be back.

    Had a wonderful time at Saffy’s last night — I have high expectations for this restaurant “group” and y’all deliver great food and service every time. This was also the first time in a long while that I’ve received a bill and thought “this is less than what I was expecting,” a rare joy in these economic times. Happy holidays and thank you!
