Saffron Restaurant

A wonderful fine dining establishment in Lewisburg. Meals were thoughtfully prepared and perfectly cooked. Presentation was very professional. Beef bourguignon and wild mushroom ravioli were both amazing choices. Service and food was prompt with no awkward waiting periods. Drinks are BYOB. Understand that this is a small, intimate experience, and the chef obviously must shop weekly to prepare local, fresh dishes and rely on what is available or in season. Thus, some dishes may be sold out or unavailable - but we were happy to select other options. A gem in Lewisburg - highly recommended. This was our first visit, but won't be our last!

Saffron is a gourmet gem in Lewisburg. It is great for special occasions, celebrations, and anytime you desire delectable dishes. The food is outstanding! The cuisine ranges from Mediterranean, Italian, French, and American. We enjoyed the escargot, mixed greens salad with figs and goat cheese, lamb lollipops, and filet mignon. The portions are generous and artfully presented. Chef Maher is personable and friendly. He makes everyone feel at home. Reservations are recommended. Be sure to BYOB. Bon appetit!

Update: went to give this place a second shot and they didn't honor our reservation due to more staffing issues. Great food, but I don't think we will be going back. Fine dining prices, but it didn't feel like a fine dining experience. We're spending around $75 a person for dinner, and they charged us $3.50 for seconds on bread? I could see if we asked for beyond two helpings of bread, but I've never been charged for bread at a restaurant before other than Cracker Barrel. They are also BYOB, but they don't really have much of a social media presence or advertising, so we had no idea and missed out on being able to enjoy wine with the great meal. We were the only folks in the restaurant at dinner time on a Saturday, and the atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable. There was no music playing so

Lovely space. Tables can be close if all are full, similar to European style. Food is delectable. We had the mixed greens and the grilled romaine salads, both were delicious. Crab cigars are good and the appetizer special of brie with figs was amazing. Paella and Branzino were perfect. Salmon was reported to be cooked to perfection as well. It's BYOB, so remember that if you want wine. It's a pricey menu but so worth it!!! Just go. (If you are available for The Feast of Seven Fishes, it is definitely worth your while!)

So painfully mediocre. This was me and my boyfriends first experience at a fine dining restaurant and let’s just say we won’t be recommending it or visiting this place again. -We were seated 20 minutes after our reservation time. -Food was bland; we also got 4 individual pieces of bread and no butter. It felt like they were just ripping chunks off a grocery store loaf. -A chef kept coming out into the dining room; which would typically be an issue if it weren’t for the fact that we was wearing pajama pants -Before being seated they took our tablecloths in an effort to tidy the table then never replaced it, so we were one of the only tables with no tablecloth -Decor was strange and unappealing as well as it being quite cold in there. -The choice of music for a “high-class valentine day” d
