    Food was excellent. We sat at the bar and thought they bartenders were some of the best in the Carolinas. The owner was present at the front and we were happy to provide our positive feedback. We’ll definitely be back!

    All steaks very overcooked. Kids couldn’t eat theirs because it was well done and chewy. We didn’t send it back as we didn’t want to be impolite. Husbands steak was also well done but ordered medium. We have never had a bad experience here, but will likely choose elsewhere for our next birthday celebration due to this experience.

    Caroline was amazing. I will ask to sit in her section every time. Food was great, as always! This was the first time I noticed music playing, not sure if it was because I was closer to the speaker or it was louder.

    Once my favorite restaurant in Greenville. Something is off. Different chef? Don’t know, but a really sub-par experience. Got the pecan encrusted trout Dry and flavorless. Poor wine selection. It’s like they’ve stop trying.

    Arrived early and was seated promptly. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and attentive but not overly. I ordered the salmon with lump crab and my wife had wasabi tuna. Also, we had the fried green tomatoes appetizer. The food was excellent topped off with free birthday dessert, peanut butter pie. The entire experience was an exceptional birthday celebration.

    We're repeat customers, Sassafras is locally owned and very consistently managed. Great location, atmosphere, but especially attentive to quality food, service and also accommodating to allergies. The manager, Erin, came to me twice to confirm my allergy and ask approval of how they'd do the fish, here's how we'll sauté the spinach - super attention and results were excellent. Autumn, our server, was friendly and attentive while also moving along with other patrons in her busy evening. The owner was wandering through with his sharp eye. Dinner partners raved about the meatloaf, but for me the grilled seafood trio was the best ever. Very generous portions of food, and excellent appearance and taste, all for a reasonable price and very enjoyable experience!
