Sassafras is a restaurant I have wanted to love for years, largely because its reputation and menu promise a refined take on Southern cuisine in a city that could use more thoughtful interpretations of that genre.

Amazing drinks + huge selection! When we came they had live jazz musicians playing all night and they were lovely.
Our waitress Shay was amazing and so flexible with substitutions when ordering food. They have the most amazing mulled wine too!
