Great place to eat. Service is wonderful. All the food is good, but the corn brûlée is especially heavenly 😉
Opentable Diner
I can't say enough about Saffron Social! The food was phenomenal! We had the appetizer special - deconstructed sushi of lump crab, mango and cucumber - a delightful combination of goodness! And our main meal was also a special - lobster and scallops with a wine sauce over spaghetti. Could not be any better! Perfectly cooked and excellent flavor. The ambience was super stylish and our server made it extra pleasant! Oh and I can't forget the delicious smoked old fashioned. The cocoa bitters and maple syrup made it stand out! Can't wait to go back and try more things on the menu!

Appetizer and salad were very good, as was the dessert....entree (snapper) was dry and overcooked.
Diane
Husband had prime rib, great. Loved onion soup, caesar salad, fish (cod) and chips. Wonderful sauces. And the chocolate cake will make you swoon!
Tina
Saffron went above and beyond to honor the request of a quick turnaround for lunch as my boss was on tight timeline. The service is truly impeccable! Highly recommend.

We had a delicious meal! I had the chicken dish it was a stuffed chicken breast on a bed of mashed potatoes with a serving of mushrooms. It was delicious. One of the other ladies in my party had the same but she does not care mushrooms so they substituted for asparagus. She also had the bread pudding and stated it was awesome! My husband had his favorite the fish and chips. We had wonderful cocktails. It's a great atmosphere and it never disappoints!

Safron is our go to for high end dining in the Peoria area. The ambience is second to none and the steaks are the best around. Service is super professional and on point. Travis hit the nail on the head with a true big city fine dining experience with a chill vibe.

This is my second time visiting Saffron Social and it was just as good as the first time. We did dine early so crowd was light and food was out quickly. Our table was ready as soon as we walked in we were seated. I had marked Birthday in the app and when we were seated there was a Birthday card on the table from them. Very nice touch. Our waiter was spot on and we had a great time going back and forth in conversation and recommendations. Braden G should be commended to have handle my attempts to throw him off so well. This really made the experience for not only me but my group. Hands down great experience and we will be back. Hopefully they have Dr. Pepper in Stock next time. They should know who it is now.... :)

Our waitress Nikki was fantastic! My wife has a gluten allergy & Nikki made sure everything was safe for her to eat. Her recommendation for the bone-in pork chop was spot on! What an amazing dish!

The restaurant itself is kinda cool- it has a vibe of a big city steak house lounge... similarly the arrogance of a big city steak house was felt. The service itself was subpar- food was good but all together less than a middle of the road experience. Our server stunk, meals were served in an unorganized manner. I do not suggest or recommend this place and only go when my clients want to.
Nicki was a great server. Very polite and went out of her way to help us enjoy great evening! Food was amayzing!!

I travel to Peoria regularly for work and was pleased to be introduced to Saffron Social - this was my first visit there. The menu options are attractive, and it is a quiet, elegant setting. I did however find both my entree (the halibut) covered with a sauce so overwhelmingly sweet that I couldn't finish it. Much the same with the butter served with bread (the bread itself was fine). The service was not every attentive - it took a good ten minutes to be approached - and rather sophomoric. My waiter's options for a martini were that it be either "dirty or regular," and knew little about the gins available. There's lots of potential here - I hope the restaurant can pick up its game a bit.

Enjoyed the Chef's special of Beef Tips with pasta, mushrooms and gorgonzola. It was amazing. The beef melted in your mouth and the sauce was delicious!
Wanda
Our meal was absolutely fabulous! The BEST coconut shrimp roll ever. The excellent menu options, craft cocktails and upscale ambiance make this one of our favorite Peoria restaurants. We ordered several courses, and Joanna did an excellent job timing each aspect of our meal. Wonderful evening!

We typically really like Saffron. This was an enjoyable experience with a few “misses”. Orecchiete Bolognese was outstanding, but lobster special a little over-cooked and dry. Our guests' halibut was very good, as was filet, but grilled asparagus was too charred and mushy. Service was very good, although we did not have the waiter we had requested. Noise level a bit too much! Biggest miss was trying to seat us in the side room which we had asked - in advance - to avoid. Hostess did then move us to the main room as requested. We'll be back but a few things need to be addressed.
