    This was our first visit to Sassafras and boy we were impressed. I made reservations on Open Table weeks prior to New Year’s Eve. When we walked in the door we were immediately seated. Our waiter, Alex B, was outstanding! He knew everything about the menu and specials. He was very attentive even on such a busy evening. Three of the four ordered steaks and said they were cooked to perfection. I personally ordered the salmon with the mango topping. It was amazing. Thanks Sassafras and Alex B for making our New Year’s dinner out a fabulous experience. We will definitely be returning and suggesting Sassafras to our family and friends. Keep being amazing!

    This was our second dining experience at Sassafras. We live out of state but visit Greenville from time to time. Sassafras was an excellent choice! We started with their broccoli cheese soup which was delicious. That was followed with the fried green tomatoes accompanied by pimento cheese. So good! Then the main course. My wife had pecan crusted trout which never ceases to amaze. I had the meatloaf covered lightly in a bbq/bourbon sauce that thrilled my tastebuds! All of it was accompanied by a full bodied Taittinger Champagne that did not disappoint. To top everything off, you need to order their peanut butter pie. You’ll think life can’t get any better than that pie. Pair all of this with wonderful, attentive wait staff and you have an evening you won’t soon forget! We’ll be back.

    Everything is so good! Had the bbq egg rolls, ribeye with Brussels and asparagus. I subbed the risotto for the asparagus! Also had a wedge salad, for only $5. This is such a good place. Don’t forget the tasty Moscow mule
