We sat in the atrium, a stunning room with waterfall to enjoy our brunch for my friends bday Service was impeccable, and food was delicious. I had an eggs benny with smoked salmon, came with potatoes and salad. My friend had a truffle omelet with cheese. Came with sour dough and a side salad. We both enjoyed a delicious cocktail. Large portions, no room for desert but they surprised us with maccaron and fruit with a candle. Love this place and would not hesitate to recommend!

I absolutely love dining at Sassafraz. The staff are absolutely lovely and extremely attentive, not a second goes by where your needs are not met, whether it be a drink refill or water, the temperature of your meal is not satisfactory? They will deal with it to your liking. Never have I gone to Sassafraz and been disappointed. My go to for celebrating milestones or simply treating myself.

Seated immediately upon arrival, nice ambiance and waiter James was fantastic. Great place to celebrate our 25 Anniversary

We made a reservation for a party of 3 on a Tuesday evening. We called to move the time as we were running late and they were very accommodating.
Highly recommended the Beef Tartare & the Tuna and shrimp ceviche! Super fresh and tasty.
We ordered the Village Burger, Salmon (sub the potatoes with asparagus) and the Ragu.
For the dessert, we got the lemon tart and the passionfruit coconut mango panna cotta and that was the winner.
Overall, amazing and efficient service. Seats were super comfy with the cushions. Moody atmosphere. Bathrooms could look better especially being in York ville. We will be back!

The restaurant has a stylish yet comfortable atmosphere that makes you feel relaxed as soon as you walk in. The space is bright and modern, with a warm vibe that works well for both casual meals and special occasions. Sitting by the windows or out on the patio gives you a great view of Yorkville, which adds to the charm.
The food at Sassafraz is fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. Each dish feels carefully put together, with flavors that are balanced and not too heavy. The menu has a good mix of options, from classic comfort dishes to creative plates, so it’s easy to find something that suits your mood. The ingredients taste high-quality, and you can tell attention is given to detail in both flavor and presentation.
The service is also friendly and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. You never feel rushed, and the staff is helpful with recommendations. Whether you’re going for brunch, lunch, or dinner, the vibe stays relaxed and welcoming. Overall, Sassafraz is the kind of restaurant where you can enjoy a great meal in a beautiful setting and leave feeling satisfied and cared for.

We like going to Sassafraz, but on our recent visit, we found the mains on the menu a bit lacking. The shareables were good. The restaurant wasn't busy (probably because there was a private party), but we liked the atmosphere. The staff, as usual, were nice and helpful.

Fantastic menu, amazing quality food, good value for Yorkville in a beautiful old building right on the square, patio was great for dinning out on a beautiful evening. Service was excellent. We recommend and would definitely come back again.

Sassafraz is my go-to place for lunches. Consistently good service and food and a pleasant lively venue. Hope not too many people read this and make it harder for me to get a reservation!
We were disappointed in how long it took for everything, from the time of placing our order to having our dessert served. The only thing that came super fast was the bill. Food was so so. We have had better on 3 other occasions we were there. We also noted in our reservation that it was our anniversary and needed a high chair. The high chair was provided. As for our anniversary, it was totally ignored. Whereas previous years it was recognized. On a side note, wasn't fond of the radio being as loud as it was.

Our server, Derek, was amazing! He definitely made our family birthday dinner beyond enjoyable 🙂 Food exceeded expectations! Loved the Branzino, and half chicken. Recommend tuna and shrimp ceviche to start as well!

Sassafraz is always a perfect combination of amazing food and great service. Our server was attentive and friendly. The ceviche, salmon and our decadent Panna Cota and passion fruit sauce are out of this world.
