Saffron Mediterranean Kitchen

The lahmacun flatbread, duck leg, old fashioned, and the chocolate espresso ice cream were all 5 stars. Owner and staff were friendly, accommodating, and helpful with menu choices. Highly recommend. Historic building and nice warm lit open atmosphere. Glad I stopped in. Music selection was very good too.

We had reservations based on the recommendation from a friend who said that Saffron is the best restaurant in town. She was right! In fact, we just got back from 3 weeks in italy (Amalfi Coast and Piemonte region) and my dish at Saffron far exceeded anything I had in Italy. I had the duck with creamed corn. The duck on its own was very tasty and perfectly cooked, and the creamed corn (also delicious in its own right) perfectly complemented the flavors of the duck and all I say is OMG. My husband is a very good cook so we rarely eat out as we are often underwhelmed, but if all restaurants served such delicious meals, we would eat out every night! Our biggest disappointment is that Saffron is closed on Sunday and Monday so we can't return before we leave town!

Poor service. Took 90 minutes to get our main course, and the restaurant was half full. Menu looks very interesting and exotic. but the food was wholly unremarkable. Green beans were mealy and with a weird sauce that only further buried it. Cocktail tried too hard and didn’t succeed. The flat breads were very average, we’ve had so many versions elsewhere that were superior. Same with the wings. We ate at several other restaurants while here that were much more enjoyable.

Ambiance is very nice.

We ate at a restaurant with the same name a number of years ago and were hoping to have that same wonderful experience. Nope. We have a group of 8 friends who are coming next week and we let them know they should not come here as we had previously recommended.

One of the finest meals I have ever eaten.

Wonderful food but excruciatingly loud. If you like the vibes of ncisy diners, this is the place for you. If you want intimate silence then seek elsewhere. Service was caring and attentive; food was excellent. What a shame they cannot invest and deaden the sound. The margins at their prices should justify the capital investment in ceiling tiles and soft surfacing of walls.

Their food is the best quality, prepared creatively to bring out amazing flavors. We have been going to Saffron for five or six years and we always have the most enjoyable meal in Walla Walla. Combined with knowledgeable and attentive servers, an international wine list and comfortable surroundings, it’s our go-to place.

Good service. Tasty food. Nice atmosphere

Great local place. The queen had the halibut, cooked perfectly, while I had the golzleme, which I had never had before and was delicious. Not very loud. Nice setting, near a busy area.

10/10 for food and service!

I also appreciate their knowledge with the menu since I have a gluten allergy. Ross was an excellent server!

Highly suggest this place. We are from Idaho and we will be back!
