    Hope made amazing drinks, our servers Alex & Ann were spot on friendly, personable and attentive. Tuna app knocked it out of the park, salads fresh and flavorful and our entrees (vegetable raviolis with salmon and seared scallops) were tasty. It was a celebration night and Sassafras Bistro made extra special, if in Greenville this restaurant is a must. Bon Appetit

    Excellent menu choices. Service by long term employee Judy was excellent. Had reserved for a party of 8. Unfortunately couple hick ups. 1 person received a plate with mashed potatoes and green beans without the salmon or correct veggie. Several of us had green beans with our entrees. They were not fresh and for myself not edible. So, since I made the reservation when the bills came I suggested to Judy she ask manager about comping/reducing price for dinner of person who got the potatotes/worng veggie without the salmon. They addressed it, took it off her bill and actually also gave her a dessert to go. Good follow up by them. Our reservations was at 7:15pm and it was packed with every inside table taken so that might have contributed to the couple hick ups. This is a long term favorite place to eat for many years so have to consider this a one-off experience.

    This place never disappoints. If you’re looking for southern comfort food done right this is the place. We visit every time we come to Greenville. The sassafras chicken is one of our favorites. Shrimp and grits, salmon, steaks are all very good. Side dish choices are perfect accompaniments. The service and hospitality are spot on. Great daily specials. Very welcoming place.
