    Inside entrance factory

    Enjoyed a recent visit for a business meeting. They have a separate room available for business meetings. The sound system was great and service was good too. I enjoyed a Cesar salad to start with grilled chicken sandwich w/brie and bacon. Overall, the food was good.

    Chicken fried chicken

    This was my first time visiting Saffire, came here to celebrate my mom's birthday. I did hear that the chicken fried chicken was delicious, my mom ordered that and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was able to taste a bit and I will say, it was very flavorful. I was craving a burger, so I opted for the Saffire burger, and it came with blue choose and picked onions; and omg it did not disappoint. Our waiter was really nice On my way out, I noticed they sold the Peach Plenty sauce made by the The Southern. I love this sauce, so I had to purchase it. If you're looking for a great casual dining option where the staff is nice, I totally recommend.

    This was my first time visiting Safire. A friend has been recommending it for a while. My mom ordered the chicken fried chicken which I tried and it was good. She subbed the greens for a salad. I ordered the Saffire burger with American cheese instead of blue cheese. It was good and flavorful. Our waiter was very nice and accommodating throughout our visit This is a great casual spot to check out with the family!

    Saffire burger, aioli, fries
    Michael B.

    Food Tried the classic cheeseburger and saffire burger, both with fries and got the job done. The pickled red onion and aioli really set off the saffire burger. Service Pretty good. It was middle of the day, not too busy, so was surprised that it did take a while to get a couple of burgers. Ambiance Place was bigger than expected, plenty of light. Would I go back? Yes. The thing to take into account is there are numerous menus that vary depending on the time you go. Dinner, lunch, brunch along with happy hour, cocktail and beer menu.

    Shrimp and grits
    Mark W.

    Got reservations and walked right to our table. Meredith took very good care of us throughout the dinner. I got the shrimp and grits. Served hot and was delicious. The grits were super creamy and I got 5~6 shrimp. Drinks were good and reasonably priced. I will return to try something else in the future.

    Pork Chop

    Really a 3.5 to me, but prefer to go for 4 here than 3. Came here on a Monday night, our last night in the Nashville area, the night before my birthday (flying home on my birthday, boo)...and wanted a nice meal. Good thing I didnt' see the bill til I got home...$165. 1 Old fashioned (it was ok) 1 Glass Wine 1 beet salad 1 halibut and grits 1 Peached Glaze Pork Chop After eating small bites/sustenance in Nashville it was so nice to sit down and have a proper meal. I did go to town on that Pork Chop. My wife said her halibut and grits was a bit salty (i agreed).

    I have not been to Saffire in years - since it closed and moved, but was excited to try. I was surprised by how busy it was for a Monday night, but figured that was a good sign. We were seated immediately (we had a reservation), and given the option for a table or a booth. We were greeted quickly by our server who said he was also the bartender for the evening. We asked several questions about the drinks and the menu and appreciated his honest responses. We ordered a couple of appetizers, drinks, mocktail, and entrees. They bring out complimentary biscuits which are delicious! The food was mostly good - we really enjoyed the meatloaf and the chicken fried chicken. At our servers suggestion we had the horseradish mashed potatoes which were quite tasty. The shrimp and grits were heavy on the sauce and light on the grits, so the least favorite entree. The risotto was nice. The service was where it was really lacking. As i mentioned earlier it was pretty busy and it was clear they were short staffed. I am not faulting our server/bartender - he was so busy making drinks he never had time to come back and check on us after receiving our food. This is really a management issue of not ensuring enough staff was present. It took us forever to get our checks and to-go boxes. Even if we had wanted dessert we wouldn't have ordered it because it had taken so long. It's also absolutely freezing in there. The happy hour menu looked nice, but for some reason they don't serve it on Monday.

    Franklin's Factory has grown into a destination to enjoy restaurants, shopping, coffee shops, and desserts. For a lovely lunch or brunch, stop by Saffire. It's got delicious food, a great cocktail menu, warm inviting service, and a casual, spacious atmosphere.

    Bradley C.

    Had arrived early for dinner at another location later in the area. Decided rather than shopping to just relax at the bar for Happy Hour. Best decision I made that day. Super friendly bar staff. Quick to provide a knowledgeable response about both the beverage and food menu. Very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere especially with the late evening sun warming the interior light. 2 for 1 Draft Beer, Truffle Fries and Half Dozen Oysters on the Half Shell was more than enough to satisfy my cravings. If I didn't already have dinner plans I would have gladly stayed here instead.

    Have you been to the Factory in Franklin? It's a fun visit with ample parking and nestled in there is Saffire. I am a native so I can tell you that some years ago Saffire was in the Factory in a different location, now it's right there in the front with super easy access. The ambiance is very nice and we were seated right away. Our service was good, and they have a nice menu, unless you eat gluten free, which I do. Their gluten free options were a tad lacking. In our group we had the prime rib (fantastic), a filet (great) and I had a burger with no bun. Give this spot a visit, probably a good idea to make a reservation.

    Tasty lemon risotto with broccolini
    Holly T.

    Met some friends here in a very busy Thursday night in December- I like the new location in the Factory, but they keep it dark in there. We sat inside due to the cold weather, and highly suggest reservations or you won't get seats. It was packed! Our table was semi private which made it easier to hear each other, but I suspect it's harder to hear otherwise. Our server was very sweet and attentive to our group. When I was concerned about the spice level of the shrimp and grits- she brought me a little to try! Too spicy for me so I ordered the lemon risotto with broccolini and really liked it! Those who got the shrimp and grits and steak sliders were pleased. I shared the highly recommended beet salad with a friend, but it was a small portion to begin with so I didn't get much - $15 may have been a bit steep for the portion size. Good food all in all.

    Blue Ribbon Salad
    Jeff D.

    They're back! After several years they have come back to the factory! Those that remember the huge wooden bar, it's back. It still looks amazing! We sat at the bar, and the bar tender was great! He had the Bees Wax mustache. I ordered an Old Fashioned with Sazerac, very good. My wife got the Old Fashioned with Fig, also very good and a Dirty and Skanky Martini. For an Appetizer we got the Truffle Fries, soooo good. They are thin fries, just the way I like them. The Truffle and Herbs on top were amazing. For Entrees, I got the Legendary, YES, The Legendary Chicken Fried Chicken is back, better than ever! A must try! My wife got the Blue Ribbon Salad, it was good and the Safire Steak Biscuits. That was an appetizer, so it was small. Look at the pictures. Cheers!

We started off with the Mini Donuts with dipping sauces, and they were a huge hit! Unfortunately, I was off my game and forgot to take pictures of some of the appetizers before they disappeared. We also ordered the Spinach Dip with chips, and a definite must have, the Deviled Eggs with Candy Bacon. Wow... those were sooo good! For the entrees, I went with the Eggs Benedict with home fries, and it was perfection. Others at the table ordered the Chicken Fingers and Fries, great comfort food with amazing flavor. The fries are the thin-cut style, which makes them extra good. The granddaughters split a hamburger and absolutely loved it. The service is always great here, but this visit had a special touch. The granddaughters wanted a carrot to feed to their stuffed bunny, and the waitress actually brought one out for them! Little things like that make a big impression.

Loud from the crowd, but still fine for conversation, and the tables/booths were spread enough to provide decent privacy. Made a note that the bar looked very attractive and appealing. Limited draft selection, though the by the glass wine was about the best list I've ever seen in a restaurant, and quite reasonable on pricing. Food comes out fast. Wait people are efficient and helpful. Started with a split salad. We ordered the Little Gem but actually received the Caesar. Not a big deal, though it was badly over dressed, so whatever salad we order (or whatever we're served) in the future, it'll be dressing on the side. After having a tough time deciding what to order on our first visit, I went with the tuna. The tuna slices were nicely rare though the dish was very bland. A pop of pickled ginger on the side, but some wasabi, or even a hit of salt, would have helped a lot, and the dipping sauce was off and bland, could have really used some more soy sauce. Wife got the crab cakes. The cakes were really nice jumbo lumps, very good quality, and the shoestring fries delightful (though I might order them well done next time for a bit of extra crunch). We'll be back and will enjoy exploring the menu further. There's clearly 5 star potential here, we just need to learn the best dishes to order.

I also really enjoyed the Bacon Wrapped Dates, Chicken Pot Pie Soup, and Korean Meatballs. The meals from the kid's menu are large portions. My kids have enjoyed the Burger and Butter Noodles. The fries are really good and fruit is an option if you prefer a healthier choice. On the regular menu we've enjoyed the Short Rib Sliders and Fish & Chips. The Hot Brown was fine, but not a favorite. The Chinese Chicken Salad was delicious. I really enjoyed the dressing with the salad. This is a good spot for us as a family since everyone can order different types of food. We have enjoyed our food here too.

I wasn't looking over the menu and wanted to try the special, but by the time we ordered they were already out. I ordered the filet Oscar with the special sauce they had and was wowed by all the flavor and the cook on the steak. The chef really knows what he's doing here.
