    i was looking for a nice final meal that was close to the airport and came across the blue mall and this place which was pretty much right down the street. i had my doubts since it was a restaurant inside a shopping mall but saffron far exceeded my expectations! the restaurant sets itself apart from the rest of the mall not only in looks but quality of food. i got the ceviche peruano (pictured) to start and it was delicious with generous chunks of fish. i also got the salmon pasión (pictured) which was well cooked and the mashed potato-like side was familiar yet had a unique taste. the passion fruit sauce complemented the salmon well and the piece of salmon skin was also a nice cripsy touch. i would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for a nice "fancy" meal before flying back home! they also participate in the google maps messaging feature. when i got to the restaurant, it looked like they weren't open yet even though it was past their opening time. i saw the messaging feature and sent a quick message asking if they were currently open. within a couple minutes, i got a response and walked in to enjoy a great meal.

    Food tasted really well and the service great, someone always came to see if we were doing okay. My only critique is there was a bit of a wait for our food but other than that, i would definitely come back!

    The food was delicious, service was good, maybe a little slow, but I guess that means they cooked everything fresh. We enjoyed our meal!

    The food was spectacular. I tried the tenderloin carpaccio and the ossobuco with saffron risotto. The Resturant is beautifully decorated, lively and chic. This is the happening place in the dining scene in Punta Cana

    I want to call the attention of the owner of this restaurant to evaluate his employees regarding customer service protocol. It is the 2nd time I have visited this place, I must highlight that the 1st time we arrived almost at 10pm, we sat inside and the person who served us provided us with unbeatable service, was aware of us at all times, made excellent recommendations and even showed us the room. -piano bar and offered it to us in case of any event and it was perfect since we are considering holding one. On the other hand, on the 2nd visit I counted 10 employees between the terrace and the interior and every time something was missing or we needed something we had to wait for them to look at us and/or make constant signs with our hands. At the entrance door they have a waiter, who seems more like a terrible bodyguard and/or door opener who is not even aware of those who are on the terrace to at least notify the appropriate person if he is needed. The hostess, who is extra, was glued to her cell phone all night, she never raised her head but it was so uncomfortable that we even avoided looking in her direction. Throughout the night we had 5 different people serving the table but whoever took our order and served us at the beginning and end had no idea what the dish was, we ordered a tiradito and he asked us twice what garnish we wanted to accompany it with, as well as I asked him how the short ribs came and he said he would come back in a moment to ask, I can understand that someone is new, but they must prepare them before facing the customer, since I may return thanks to the fact that the chef cooks exquisitely and it is not his fault disasters in the room, but you should know that not all clients are the same, some because of the service, like my husband, will definitely never want to return. To finish, I was addressed twice by that waiter, “And you, don't you want a coffee?” “Didn't you ask for anything else?” It's a shame he doesn't remember the name, maybe it's better so he doesn't lose his job and as a suggestion you make the decision to train everyone so that they can be up to par with the restaurant you have.

😠 This place has been around for a while. I would know because I have been coming since I was a child. However, the quality of the food has gone way down. What you see pictured is shrimp “cocktail”, which as you can see from the picture is just shrimp with a Mayo and ketchup mixture on top of it. Yuck...
