WORST restaurant experience EVER!

by JayKay26y

It was the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant. If I could give this place a negative score I would!

Firstly they wouldn't seat us because we did not have a reservation so we had to come back another day.

Then when we came back another day with a reservation and they said they forgot to put it in the system. They reluctantly obliged after a heated discussion with me.

It took them 1.5 hours for the food to arrive, i ordered the lamb plate and it was a sticky sweet gooey cold mess, absolutely terrible. My wife ordered a chicken dish which was equally gross and the waitress never came by to check on us to see how the food was or if we needed anything at all.

We had ordered a pot of tea as well and when the bill came they had NOT taken the entire amount of the groupon deal off the bill and there were extra charges on it. I asked them why they had done so. She said she did not know why the register was doing that, it does that for all groupon checks and that the tea was not covered by the groupon. I specifically showed her that all food and non alcoholic beverages were included in the groupon and she disagreed. She said the simple tea we had was a special item and hence not included in the non alcoholic beverage category. I asked her to show me where in the menu that the tea was described as a special item and she went to the back to get me the drink menu: after 20 mins she comes back saying her boss had locked up the back room door where the menus are kept and she does not have access to it so she cannot show it to me. She was arrogant and adamant that we pay the extra charges and the tea separately before we left.

Right after i paid the bill she says, "we dont need customers like you to come here" The AUDACITY of that stupid arrogant waitress. This was by far the worst restaurant experience i have ever had.

I will never go back there and will make sure ALL my friends know what a terrible place this is.

BEST MOROCCAN FOOD AND BELLY DANCER

by Nawale

WENT TO CELEBRATE MY BOYFRIEND'S BIRTHDAY PARTY, AND WE HAD THE BEST SERVICE EVER, OUR WAITRESS WAS VERY NICE AND FRIENDLY, SHE KNOWS THE MENU AND EXPLAINED THE DISHES TO US VERY WELL, WE CAN IMAGINE EACH DISH. THE BELLY DANCER CAME TO OUR ROOM AND DANCED TO MY BOYFRIEND THE HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONG, IT WAS REALLY FUN. WE HAD A GREAT TIME. I WILL COME BACK FOR SURE.

Very disappointing

by ShannonHuehlefeld

We decided to try Saffron for our girls night out dinner after taking a tour of it one evening after having eaten at Mia Bella next door (attached actually, They are amazing! by the way) The atmosphere seemed like it would be nice.

I called to reserve the small private room for 7 but there was no answer at 5:15pm so I left a message, no return call. Anyway I got the room and thought it would be nice. It really wasn't! It looks comfy but isn't, probably not the cleanest place and the food....

They have a very limited menu anyway and upon arrival I ordered an appetizer and was told they were out of that and that and ... I had one of the couple choices left. Spinach pie, not bad. Though I must say the waitress was not very helpful with our inability to pronounce the dishes either. Kind of snotty attitude. Even pointing she seemed to be "put out" to even bother leaning in to look.

Then time to order dinner and again they were out of this and that and and and... again very limited options. I ordered the advocado tomato salad. Oddly it came without any tomato at all and was about 1/4 of an advocado that had been soaked in lemon juice for no telling how long. I did not eat it!

Over all it was very disapponting and I don't think any of us would recommend it to anyone. It was not good and after reading their few reviews now, I have to wonder who they paid to write the good ones ..lol

NOT MOROCCO

by mwh1

Had a chance to visit Saffron on Saturday evening with my wife and son. Saffron has the feel of Morocco, but the food is not the same as being in Morocco. In Morocco if you order a Tangine you will get a Tangine. In Saffron if you order a Lamb Tangine you get it served on a regular plate NOT in a Tangine.

The mint tea was a little strong and not sweet as the tea in Morocco.

For a Saturday evening dinner there was only my family and three other parties in the resturant.

crappy, fake gimmiky place

by Kristy101

First off the restaurant sounded like a great place to hang out with my friends and have some Moroccan food which is one of my favs as i went on a vacation to Morocco three times and tasted some of the best dishes in my life there. But the food in this place was not even close to the original one back in Morocco and the service as one of the people on here was pretty weird and we were uncomfortable the whole time because of how strange and pushy the waiter was and the uncomfortable place we were seated at and above all as previously mentioned the food that sounds great on the menue but very disappointing once it's on your table. It made my evening with my friends a crappy one. Wouldn't recomment it to any one
