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.
