Saffron Social - Peoria (IL)

5 /5 Mark A: Saffron Social is relatively new to Peoria. Our server said they have been opened for a couple of years. I was hesitant to eat here by the very different ratings given to it on here (either very high or very low). I came for a lunch on a Friday afternoon and I am pleased to announce I had a pleasant experience. The atmosphere of this place just speaks to luxury and high end. The booths are plush and comfortable. The ceilings high. The light fixtures cast a soft golden hue. The food is a little on the expensive side, but at least for my meal, it was backed by quality. I got their short rib sandwich with fries. It is a luxurious version of a pulled pork sandwich and I really enjoyed it. Brandon provided great service. He was present but not hovering. Granted it was Friday lunch and the volume of customers were low. I had no problems with my time at Saffron Social. It was a stress free lunch where I could catch up with an old friend in gorgeous surroundings.

5 /5 ericka arreola: I have a big appreciation for bars that put as much effort into their mocktails as their other drinks. The bar is a vibe! I love seeing the renovations of big industrial buildings like this. The ceilings are 20 feet high! The bar is well stocked and the staff was knowledgeable on the menu.

5 /5 kelle williams: This place drips in opulence! Ive never had a bad experience here. The happy hour menu is great, as is the lunch and dinner. The fried deviled eggs are to die for, and Ill be dreaming of the Char Kway Teow, Kobe Beef with Rice Noodles, for weeks to come! Yummy! The service is always phenomenal (shout out to Braden), and the chocolate cake always comes home with me. When its time to celebrate a special event, or treat yourself, turn to Saffron to cure your cravings! (Sushi aside, phenomenal experience)

5 /5 Katrinka Tezyk: Amazing all around. We stopped in for lunch and sat at the bar. Drake was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I asked him to surprise me with a drink after I told him the types I liked. It’s was perfect!!! We got the edamame, coconut shrimp roll and shrimp tacos. The flavors were absolutely delicious. We will be coming back!!! Very clean including the bathrooms. All around pleasant experience.
