    Came here on our anniversary. Food is very good, salmon and trout, and complimentary dessert. And $5 margaritas on Tuesday. Also came here last year and had the crab cakes. Very enjoyable!

    Excellent in every way! I cannot say enough good things about our experience at Sassafras. The service, the food, the atmosphere- it was all perfect! We celebrated three birthdays with a cake and the hostess took it to the kitchen for us so that we could enjoy it after dinner. I really appreciate that there was no cake-cutting fee, and that they were more than willing to accommodate our little celebration. We drove all the way from Lake Lure, NC, to meet our children for dinner. Sassafras is a new favorite!

    We dined with my parents for their 38 anniversary. The experience was a 10/10. Great service, great food with ample portions. The ambiance was nice and the location was great. My only complaint was the key lime pie did not do justice to the rest of the meal. I could be wrong but I think it was premade. But we all really enjoyed our main meals and drinks. We will be back for sure!
