on Citysearch Jan 19, 2010My boyfriend and I went to Saffire on the spur of the moment on a Thursday night. The exposed brick walls, local artwork, beautiful old bar (hostess told us it was over 150 years old!) and live piano player all made the... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 06, 2009My brother and I decided to take my mom, and other members of our family, to Saffire for my mom's birthday. Unfortunately, we didn't have the best experience. Generally, we aren't hard to please, but the service was... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 09, 2008For what this restaurant offers in ambiance it sorely lacks in food quality and service. What a holy nightmare this place was, and during a lunch hour slow enough that we were two of only four guests in the entire... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 30, 2007Saffire is just what my husband and I were looking for! While culinary wonders are a short drive away in Nashville, Franklin itself doesn't have an abundance of great dining experiences. Saffire is an excellent... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 03, 2007I don't know why I keep coming back to the place. As for the good reviews those people must have never gone to a "good" restaurant. I've eaten across the US and let me tell you this is not a good restaurant. The food is just... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 03, 2007I visited Saffire alone on a Sunday evening around 6 p.m., and the place was nearly deserted. I asked the bartender to recommend his favorite small plate, and was amazed by the most sensational roast pork I've ever... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 14, 2006As a regular to the Franklin restaurant scene, Saffire is by far the best yet. Every weekend my husband and I like to go out for a high class meal, and a few out of the ordinary drinks. Not only are we looking for the food and... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 05, 2006We looked forward to heading down to Franklin in hopes of proving you could find some great non-chains in the burbs - sadly mistaken on this trip. Here we go - reservation mix-up but corrected within a few minutes.... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 16, 2004Saffire, tucked away in the revived 'Factory' shopping complex on Franklin Road, is one of the best restaurants I have visited in Franklin. It isn't cheap, but the food is nothing short of scrumptious and the... (more)
