    I love the vintage appeal of this restaurant with its stain glass windows , brick walls, and gas lanterns. I love that the background music was low and you could actually have a conversation with the ones you’re dining with without yelling over background music and noise. Our waitress was excellent and attentive and helped a member of our party with a food allergy issue. The menu offered a host of good choices and the food was delicious. Will definitely be dining here again and again.

    We enjoy going every year with our daughters and their spouses. It is now our “go to” place. The food is always good but this year the boom boom shrimp may have been a little overcooked. Everything else was good. The service was a little slow at first but got much, much better.

    Originally seated out in the enclosed atrium. Seating is not very comfortable out there but they moved us inside without asking.

    The food was incredible as always. The waitress was a little brash and came off a little bit. Rude but OK. We had a table in the corner. That was a nice location, but it is sort of allowed environment. But still one of my very favorite restaurants downtown!

    We absolutely love Sassafras Southern Bistro! It never disappoints. We’re from out of state and always include Sassafras in our itinerary. The fried chicken & beef en croute are a few of my top faves. The hubby’s meatloaf special tonight was excellent. 1/2 off wine Wednesday… Perfect! Overall excellent experience.
