Wife and I had Breakfast and Dinner at the Saffron Restaurant. The food and atmosphere were great. Dinner was on a Tuesday evening and So we were invited to play the Trivia Game. We one 3rd out of 3 teams. Oh well was fun anyway. If your in the area this is a great chaise. We were staying at the Hilton Vacations so this was very close.
When my husband arrived to pick up my goodie bag, he experienced the most horrible customer service treatment! He waited to be assisted for 15 mins, without so much as an acknowledgment or Hello. The red head who assisted three other customers, who arrived after he did, was very rude & racist! She finally asked my husband in a nasty tone, “What do you need?”. Then she tossed the goodie bag container on the counter & said nothing else. Mind you she treated the white customers...read full review
A friend of mine gave me a gift card and they told me it had “expired” even though the original receipt for the fort card did not include information about gift cards expiring. Kind of a bummer.
