Home run for a foodie! Menu loaded with spicy taste treats, served by folks who obviously love working there and who's food & local wine knowledge only makes a great menu sing! I can't wait until we come back so I can have another flavor-bursting mouthful of my opener: Harkoussa Potatoes with garlic, coriander, yogurt & serranos. Then Lahmachun: a... More

This is a very small restaurant a bit away from the downtown area that offers much more than you would expect. The menu, although small, contained a variety of tastes, including a paella type dish made with noodles rather than rice. I ordered both of the specials for the day which were a salad and a foie gras. Both were... More

Wow. Just wow. My fiance is an extremely good chef, and I manage a bakery and am a pastry chef as well. That means we eat well, at home or out and about. I can honestly say that this is the best meal we've had in a very, very long time. More

Saffron was recommended to us before our arrival in WW. We so enjoyed our meal...from the unusual spicy apps,flat breads and messe, to the desserts...the chef here has used some interesting Meditteranean recipes and adapted them to the American palate...definitely would come back here and kudos to our server Tim who encouraged us in our menu choices and looked after...

We found the food to be very good. The atmosphere is open yet cozy. Walla Walla has a lot of small restaurants and this one is worth checking out. More

This place is utterly awesome. On the "edge" of town. Very unpretentious, welcoming, modern decor. Friendly, knowledgeable wait staff. Excellent, well priced wine list. But the food leaves one speechless. It is quite simply outstanding. One thing i would advise - try and leave room for a lil desert and try the flatbread. Met with the owners/chef during the meal...

Six of us dined at Saffron last night and had an amazing experience. Not only was the food prepared perfectly, but our server, Tim, chose unique wines to pair with our meals. When you go, make sure you go hungry to give yourself room to try several courses. And let the staff pick your wines for you. They are incredibly... More

Had a fantastic dinner at Saffron on our first night in Walla Walla. Our waitress and one of the owners were super friendly and made great suggestions. Everything we had was really excellent with one exception - the lamb ribs, which were a bit too tough and stringy for my taste. But they were still edible and spiced really nicely.... More

What an incredible meal! The lamb flatbread will not be forgotten, and neither will the pastas. Lovely place for a romantic dinner. More
