    We had an amazing dinner. I got the table by the waterwall, which I had requested and had fantastic service and excellent food! The vegan soup was wonderful and unique. Our waiter, Derrick, was very funny and super friendly. I really appreciated the 25% discount on Canadian wines and the changing of names for Americano to Canadiano in the coffee options. It's nice to see Sassafraz make an effort for those who want to feel some national pride during these difficult times. The macarons for my birthday was also a very nice treat. It was an absolutely perfect night at one of my favourite restaurants! Can't wait to return!

    Sassafras is reliable for excellent food and service. We choose to go there to celebrate our daughter’s birthday and we’re not disappointed. The food choice was superb and the portions just the right size. Service was attentive without being intrusive. It is the perfect place for enjoyable meal.

    We enjoyed a very nice lunch at Sassafraz. The atmosphere was serene, it wasn't too noisy and our server was great. The architecture is outstanding and their choice of finishes adds a nice touch, especially the water feature on the outside wall, below a huge glass in atrium.
