I own a restaurant on the coast and I always refer my clientele to the Saffron Salmon in they are heading to Newport. I have been to the Saffron Salmon maybe 15 times and it has been fantastic every time. The service has always been spot on as well as the food. I usually order fish and I am one... more

We loved our meal at Saffron Salmon. There were four of us and each thought that our dish was one of the best we've ever had (salmon, tuna, 2 halibuts). The view was beautiful and we had wonderful service. If we're ever back in Newport, this will be the first restaurant we go back to. more

Salmon was the best I've ever had! My husband chose lamb and loved it. We come to Newport several times a year and will choose Saffron Salmon again. more

Everything was great, overall. The place is a bit small but that's OK, the view is wonderful, food was very good, but the night we went the service wasn't so good. We made reservations and had to wait a long time past the time which was kind of bad because it was a group of senior citizens. Finally they seat... more

I just don't understand what people see in this restaurant. I live locally and there are much better places to eat. It's over priced and too fussy for me. To rate #3 in restaurant popularity surprises me. I like to be comfortable when I'm having a meal and this place seems somewhat cold and sterile. Sorry... more

Our experience strongly mirrors those of the other reviewers who felt that the Saffron Salmon staff went out of their way to accommodate families visiting with children. We took our 2-year-old son there this past Monday evening and were thrilled not only with the warm reception and care that the staff provided to us, but with the terrific food as... more

Upon first look, this restaurant has all the right ingredients of a great restaurant: the location and view are great; the decoration and ambience are wonderful; the service was OK (with a mistake in taking the order). More importantly, the price was high---well, you've got to pay more for the great food, right? The food on your neighbour's table looked... more

Fresh seafood and lovely views are the strengths of this eatery. However, we were virtually ignored by our waiter during the evening. more

This is a wonderful little restaurant that we never would have found if not following someone's directions from Yachats. As you go north on 101, take a right to "Historic Newport" right after crossing the bridge. Down the hill for about a mile to the waterfront and it's right there at the bottom jetting out on a pier at the... more
