    Saffron is one of the best restaurants on the eastern side of Washington. I always have a great experience when I come here to eat and have a nice cocktail. I always recommend the lamb and beef kibbeh, although I'll say the version of this I enjoyed the most was with the house made labneh. The seafood is top notch. Tonight we split the wood fire roasted octopus, and my main entree was porchetta and oregon albacore tuna. Very tasty indeed. I'll be coming back again and again.

    Great dinner out. Efficient service but not personal or at all friendly. Really good food and flavors. Would recommend 👌

    One of my favorite places to eat! I don't live in Walla Walla but any time I am going through or visiting we have to stop at Saffron! The first time I went here my wife and I went for our anniversary dinner and we each got our own entrees. When we thought about dessert we debated getting something but then saw another pasta dish that looked amazing so we ended up getting a 3rd entrée for dessert. I have never had anything bad here, cannot recommend it enough! Reservations are needed, so plan ahead. Just went again and had an amazing meal. Remembered to take photos this time. Had a squash and sausage appetizer, carrot salad, free form lasagna, clam pasta, banana flat bread dessert, and budino, highly recommend all of it.

    Great service, unique Mediterranean-inspired menu options, upscale yet casual atmosphere. Prices are a little high but it was a lovely dining experience. The Turkish sausage hummus was really yummy. We enjoyed that the portions are decent so you can try a few things and not feel stuffed.

    My friends and i had heard good things about Saffron. We went there for dinner and were greeted cordially. The menu is very limited. I whispered to my friend, "Let's order the whole menu. We still ended up ordering 75 % of the menu. The appetizers, entrees, and Flatbread were delicious. They were very tasty. But one thing, the portions are very very small. My friends and I love to share, but it was very difficult. I was thinking I might have to see what's open after dinner where I can get more food.

    My wife and I have eaten at so many great restaurants over the years in many different cities. This one by far is in the tops 5. As for the food, it was the best steak I've ever ordered in a restaurant. That is just fact and not a statement. The service was perfect. They helped us threw out the meal from checking on us for drinks to explaining to us what all the sides for the dishs were. The atmosphere was amazing. If you come here, do have a reservation. If not, you probably won't be seated. Don't be a pretentious person to assume that just because you have some money that you will get a table. You won't. Great experience.

    Reservations recommended. Wife & I prefer early dining. Nice atmosphere with inside & outside dining, as well as a bar area viewing the cooking area. We shared grilled Pita bread, and a quail appetizer. Main entrée's Wife had the Agnolotti House made pasta (braized pork shoulder. ricotta, mushrooms, Parmigiano-Reggiono) in a ravioli. She wasn't impressed with it.. I ordered the wood grilled hanger steak medium rare (Adobe marinated., fire roasted potatoes, almond & caperberry salsa). Steak fixed perfect, potatoes very good, salsa interesting (Briny flavor) but did compliment the meal. We each had a glass of wine. We ended our sharing a Basque Style Cheesecake (Peach smash. black tea syrup. & basil). Nice balance, lighter than a normal cheesecake. NOTE: photo of the quail is only half, I forgot to take the picture when it was served. Also there is a piece missing off the Pita Bread.

    Ate here last night and if you can’t eat gluten I don’t recommend this place! Our server was great about finding out which things were safe for me to eat which involved a trip to the kitchen each time. She suggested I don’t order pasta (really???) and recommended I not eat rice (there was no mention of why…). ??? The food I did get was fantastic and there are places that do gluten-free so much better and are so much more welcoming. If you can eat gluten you will absolutely enjoy this restaurant and if not I felt tolerated at best.

    Slightly off the main street, but incredible and very authentic. Of course the staff paired a wine perfectly with the lamb dish! And a dessert of individually brewed coffee and goat cheesecake.... The best food I've had here so far

    Nice experience. Server was polite and had a great personality. Never let our glass of water get low. When we made a comment about it, he joked that he was just making sure we stay hydrated. Food was amazing. My boyfriend said his ribeye steak was the best he’s had in a while. I had the roasted eggplant parmigiana which was made from eggplant from a local farm and meat from a local meat shop. Failed to take a photo of our food, but I guess that means you’ll just have to just go and check it out.

    Bryant provided excellent service to our group—we felt cared for and he anticipated every need with ease. Food was executed well, which made for an overall great dining experience for our entire group. This was my second time at Saffron, and we’ll definitely be back.

    I can’t say enough good things about Saffron! The ambiance was simple and relaxing, our waiter was super fun, the cocktails were unusual and yummy and last, but certainly not least, the food was amazing!!! If I lived in Walla Walla it would I would be a regular and look forward to going back on our next visit. We will ask to sit in Bryant’s section again for sure - Cheers!

    I have mixed feelings about this review. Great atmosphere, service was ok (although I really liked the owner who came to our table to check in with us). Why a mixed review. We ordered the app and I tried all 4 entree's. I thought the app and my entree (cioppino) were oversalted. I couldn't finish my meal...the other 3 dishes were fantastic.

    Stopped in for dinner, had an amazing time. Food was on point. Quail was delicious, the lamb was great as well. Their fingerling potatoes are delicious too.

    One of my favorite dinner spots in walla walla, definitely make a stop if visiting. Lots of options to tempt you and friendly service. While decor is fun, inside can be a bit loud when full and hard to hear table conversation. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

    The food was inspired! I had never had hummus made with brown butter before, but it was a different look, and a different taste on what would otherwise be an ordinary food. Everyone at the table had something different, and each of us were excited by each dish. The staff was excellent, we were seated quickly and comfortably,and the lighting and mood were just right for an evening out.

    My little family had an excellent experience! Drinks were top notch, all food was incredible and the service was truly unmatched. Thanks so much to the crew for a magical evening.

    They treated us like friends. The food was amazing! The cocktails were interesting and very tasty! The atmosphere was lively, but not chaotic. You could still hold conversations. It was a great experience!

    For the love of God, please get the GÖZLEME(pic)! And end your dinner with the MOZZA BUDINO(no pic cause I ate it as soon as it arrived).

  • 4/5 Melody 11 months ago on Google
    Portions are small given the price but overall great vibe and service!

  • 5/5 Jillian S. 1 year ago on Google
    As soon as you walk in to the beautifully decorated interior, you’re met with delicious smells that carry throughout the meal. Our server was kind, friendly, and very knowledgeable- and everything we ate here was DELICIOUS. The beef cheeks were amazing- extremely flavorful and melted in your mouth. Would highly recommend this place for wonderful food, great service, and lovely ambiance.

    Love this place and visit every time I'm in town! Service is good, food is delicious! I've had most of the menu and have never been disappointed!

  • 5/5 Matt B. 1 year ago on Google
    Magical cuisine, blending flavors from across the Mediterranean. Everything we had to eat was amazing, especially the lamb vermicelli and ribeye. Thanks for making our birthday celebration special!

  • 4/5 Daja P. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice spot. Definitely make reservations. We did but they were busy and it took a long time to get our food. It was also quite loud. The rib eye was amazing but the paella was meh. Highly recommend the butterscotch pudding!

  • 5/5 David Joel K. 1 year ago on Google
    Ridiculously enjoyable, incredible flavors and impeccable style. One of my favorite dining experiences in a long time. Impressive, bravo!

  • 5/5 C B. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is phenomenal! My family and I had the pleasure of eating here on our trip to Walla Walla while visiting from Montana. The cocktails and food are awesome and the service was wonderful (shout out to Bryant!)! Wine-ing and dining at nice restaurants is our favorite pastime and this place tops the list of all the places we ate at in Walla Walla! Can’t wait to go back on our next trip!!
