We had a great birthday celebration at The Front Yard and enjoyed the food and the drinks. Our server was always available and easy to work with. We really enjoyed the Flank Steak, Brussels Sprouts and Garlic Broccoli Flat Bread. The parking is easy and they validate so there is no charge. All went very well!

Loved the Christmas Eve tasting. Each dish was the star of its own act....I really couldn't pick out a favorite. I love all the flavors and the architecture is so captivating. I felt transported to a different world for one night for a very special foodie experience. Thank you for making this so special for me and my family.

Had a wonderful time at Saffy’s last night — I have high expectations for this restaurant “group” and y’all deliver great food and service every time. This was also the first time in a long while that I’ve received a bill and thought “this is less than what I was expecting,” a rare joy in these economic times. Happy holidays and thank you!
