I tried Sassafras recently for the first time and my fiance and I were both really impressed. We dined outside on the patio which was very pleasant. I tried the surf and turf and it was OUTSTANDING.

Not only was the information the previous reviewer wrote accurate, it did not praise the owner/chef enough. The chef uses fresh ingredients when in season and it is... more

I have been eating at this location for something like 20 years. First it was Siena, then Mistral, and finally Sassafras, under the ownership of Michael Hirschberg. A couple of years ago, Jack Mitchell purchased it, and has continued the tradition. Indeed, my family has eaten there so often over the years that when my 3 kids were still at... more
