Surprise 50th birthday party for our son-in-law. Great food. Great service. The staff were all so kind even when we sometimes got in their way! Fabulous venue for the 50+ or people in our party.

Great all -american fare,we are on the patio which is clean and relaxing our waitress Janel.was a doll,so helpful, attentive and together, explained how the dishes were prepared that we were interested in and just all together made our dining experience first class.I had the seafood bisque soup which was perfect,not much of it but it was delicious.The Swordfish entre with mash potatoes and sauteed vegetables was great,the, swordfish was prepared just right as were the vegetables and potatoes,just the right amount of seasoning and the vegetables sauteed in a sauce that was light and tasty.All I all the food,service and ambience were just right,I would suggest asking for Janel.as your waitress we returned for dinner a few days later,food was still just as good but our server was fine,but nowhere near as good as Janel.who was working that evening but was super busy with a bunch of other tables,but she helped us just because she could see we needed a couple of things and was close by and because she really is that good at her job and cares,am A -Class Person and waitress.This place is well worth the visit.Vegetarian options: Not a great place for vegetarians,I saw NO vegetarian or Vegan four way tasting offering.Parking: Saffire is definitely worth a visit,great food,not unreasonably priced,portions are honestly a little small for my liking(but that's me) but would highly recommend.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp at both entrances,very easily accessible.

Go here for brunch and sit outside. Order the Bloody Mary. Dinner has been very hit or miss. Sitting inside is also kind of dull.Parking: For dinner parking is free in the street behind the restaurant. There is also a paid, small structure behind the restaurant. Parking is not an issue here.

Despite the rain, was still able to sit outside and enjoy the view. The drinks were fabulous! I had the Mariposa effect and the rum luck. Really loved the Mariposa it was just what I was looking for! Fish tacos were good but a bit too spicy so I couldn’t fully enjoy other components. The crème brûlée was wonderful it truly hit the spot! I’ll have to come back again sometime soon, the ambiance was really serene minus the rain. The service was tremendous as well. I highly recommend this place for a casual gathering.
Five stars for Sapphire! We encountered a rare mistake in our order, but the experience turned incredibly positive thanks to the exceptional service. Greg, the manager, personally took charge of the situation. He not only assured us of a brand new order but also took the extraordinary step of delivering it to our home, a 25-minute drive away. His dedication and effort to go above and beyond were truly remarkable. And did I mention their burgers? They are mouthwateringly good! With such a kind act, Sapphire has easily earned our business. We look forward to dining in and enjoying the amazing ambiance of the restaurant. We are immensely grateful for the amazing service and commend Greg for his fantastic commitment to customer satisfaction. Sapphire has set a new standard for excellence in our eyes!

Please do not eat here! The service is not a 5 star restaurant. They had no accountability nor apologetic for bad service. The manager was on his phone the entire time and taking photos of the food as it would come up.

This time, we sat at the bar area for happy hour. Great service. We always enjoy the creativeness of the menu. I accidentally broke my wine glasses and they were so caring and asked me if I was OK (not asking me to pay for the wine glass). We had 6 glasses total, but I believed they would do the same if I only had one! We'll be back! I promise I won't break any glasses!
What a nice welcoming restaurant especially since I travel with my dogs. They brought over bowls of water for them - made the experience even better. Food was great, server and other staff were very friendly. I will be back to try something different next time.

The hostess was friendly and allowed us to choose indoors or outdoors. We sat outside next to a heater, which was sufficient. The food was fine. Nothing to write home about except if you're a vegan, which we are not, be aware there is no viable menu option. We got the tuna sandwich, which was served with fries and the veggie scramble, which was served with a bowl of fruit. The veggie scramble was a little bland. There was no salt or pepper on the table and the wheat staff wasn't around for about 15 minutes to ask. The scramble had big pieces of squash and whole cherry tomatoes. The latte was OK grew cold quickly as it was cool day. There were no coffee seconds, even to pay for it, because there was no wait staff to ask.

This was our first visit to Sapphire after years of seeing their bright orange umbrellas on PCH. We brought out-of-towners here for a Saturday bruch. They offer a creative menu with many choices. We had eggs benedict, pork schnitzel, Sapphire breakfast and lemon creme waffles. Every dish was delish! We sat on the patio by the fire pit and looked at the ocean. The service was great too. We especially appreciate being able to have our puppy attend the brunch. Great place - we will definately come again.
