"Saffron is a must go. The food was incredible. The small plates give you a taste of all the amazing flavor combinations that are possible at this restaurant, like the fried califlower to dip in sheep milk fondue, or the roasted to perfection baba ganoush. It was a great idea to have a salad before the entree because the beet salad (red and golden) with honey and goat cheese was perfect. The restaurant has a changing vegetarian option, which as a vegetarian, is appreciated. We had a delicious roasted vegetable and potato gratin, with eggplant, brussel sprouts, squash, and more, topped with a browned feta. Dessert was a spiritual experience; do not skip dessert. The cocktails were creative and delicious. Saffron was a delight."

"Our group of four visited Saffron on the Friday night of Restaurant Week. I had seen the episode of Iron Chef, and needless to say, we came in with high expectations. It has been a long time since I have had such high hopes for a restaurant, but they really did deliver. Sometimes during restaurant week, I feel like something ends up lacking--whether its the food, or the service since the staff may not want to spend as much time on you as another guest ordering off the regular menu. This was not the case here. The service was great, and the food was outstanding. It was an interesting balance of familiar favorites with an interesting twist. I can't wait to go back!!"

"The food was both adventurous and yet somehow comforting, a mixture of familiar and favorite flavors with exotic and unexpected ones. The service was second to none, not only was our server wonderful and attentive, but the hosts both kept track of my party, knowing how long we had been waiting for a table, what course we were on, and going to collect our jackets from the coat check before I had the opportunity to turn in my ticket. It was a long meal, not that I am complaining, but this is not the sort of place you go if you are on a time schedule. It was a relaxed evening with our three course meal (plus bread and hummus appetizer) lasting about 2 and a half hours. An overall wonderful experience, we will be back soon!"

"2/12/2010 Enjoyed Saffron! Service was warm, inviting--each and every person seemed genuinely happy that we chose their restaurant. Waiter was helpful/expert. We shared the fois gras and deviled eggs; both wonderful, unusual flavors..beautifully presented. For entrees--salmon w/clams and the lamb. Salmon had potatoes & a rich spicy tomatoe sauce, covering everything in the dish. The sauce was good, but overpowered the delicate salmon, and since the potatoes were part of the sauce, those also--one note. My husband enjoyed his lamb. Desserts...oh my. Chocolate ganache puff pastry w/ice cream & sour cherry sorbet, & salted caramel semifreddo. Both were outstanding--caramel dessert was a flavor explosion of salt, spicy, creamy..pure heaven."

"I made my first visit to Saffron over the weekend, and loved it. We loved the ambience and decor, although we were a little cold, maybe due to the high ceilings. My companion was just back from North Africa, and she loved the food, which she thought was very authentic. We weren't thrilled with the vegetarian dish of winter vegetables, which was a little bland, but everything else was great. The wine list is short, but adequate. Service, as others have said, was about perfect - friendly and helpful, not intrusive or smarmy. I wish I had the money to go back more often."

"Saffron has to be the classiest restaurant in Minneapolis.
The care of their guests, the knowledge of the wait staff, the extraordinary flavors that are artfully presented on each plate . . . .
The restaurant has a personal touch though not intrusive. It is like your table is the focus of the entire staff and kitchen, yet it is the same for each party.
The dress of the restaurant is hip but not in an overbearing way . . . it reflects an understatement that permeates throughout; a feeling that when you enter, you've arrived on a real scene.
This is the top of a chef driven restaurant. True creativity in cusine is when you can order anything, any small plate, any entree, anything, and know the selection will be incomparable."

"I went here with my boyfriend for his birthday. The service was outstanding, the food was excellent, and the entire evening was a success. The staff is top of the line, they really know how to give great service and are attentive without being intrusive. We had an excellent time. We also returned later to meet up with friends for their happy hour. The drinks are phenomenal and mixed to perfection. Although we were a large party, our server was on top of it all - never letting drinks get low, remembering what everyone ordered and just created a fabulous evening for all of us. I am a HUGE fan of Saffron and plan to visit again and again as often as I can. Oh and don't let the simplicity of the menu fool you, the food is beyond outstanding!"
