The steak was excellent, the lobster ceviche was creative and delicious, the carpaccio was beautifully prepared, and the scallops were truly extraordinary. The bread pudding dessert was the perfect finish to an already remarkable meal. A special shout-out to the manager, Mike, who was incredibly gracious and welcoming, and to our waiter, Adrian, who was absolutely wonderful. Adrian was attentive, charming, knowledgeable, and a great conversationalist. He made us feel genuinely special and was a big part of what made the evening so memorable. I lived in Los Angeles for more than 40 years and have been fortunate enough to dine at many highly regarded restaurants in the U.S. and around the world. Saffron Social deserves to be noticed in that company. This was not simply a very good meal for Central Illinois, it was an exceptional dining experience by any standard. Most importantly, my wife had a wonderful birthday, and we talked about the meal the entire drive home. Saffron Social is absolutely a restaurant worth seeking out, and we are already looking forward to returning.

I would have given this place a five star. The time and effort the owner put into making sure my…read moremother's 75th Birthday celebration was a success was everything. The decor and the atmosphere was a hit. So, why am I giving them a two. Why? I Haven't heard anything back from the owner concerning my deposit.? I don't care if she keeps the deposit. Just tell me why. If she gives a portion back, fine. If she gives all of it back, Great. Just answer me. I was told my deposit would be given back to me in 7 business days. Today is October 1. I had my mother's celebration on the 10th of September. I dislike that it is this way. I am disappointed. The owner has a gift in decorating, I wish they would respond to me. Someone else may have a different experience and I actually hope they do.

Attended a Saturday evening event recently at this studio. I arrived after 8pm and as I approached…read morethe entrance, I could see a huge floor fan near the entrance door. I knew then that there was a high possibility that there was no cold air in that small space. I walked in and the room it felt like it was over 80 degrees inside, I think outside was cooler than the went space. People were using plates to fan themselves and there were additional fans near the front of the room. Now if it wasn't for the beautiful decorations by Dazzling Ballon Decor and the wonderful guest and people at the event, it would have been extremely difficult to not focus solely on the extreme heat. They really made the best of a bad situation. I visited the Facebook page of Timeless Events Social Studio to see if there were photos from the event and the owner of this business is coming off real messy. The most recent post blamed the guest and decorators for the air conditioning unit malfunction saying they added new batteries to the thermostat and kept opening the door. Let's disregard the fact that that's not how air conditioners work. And... how are you supposed to bring your stuff in if not through the door? The owner admitted in the post that she was the one adjusting the air conditioning unit several times while the Saturday event was being decorated. The post also mentioned that the air conditioning was working just fine for the Sunday event scheduled the very next day. So...maybe those batteries worked? Either way... sounds like it's not broke. The post included photos of a thermostat with a handwritten sign saying, " Do Not Touch"; a photo of a new lock for the thermostat; a photo showing said lock installed over the thermostat; a photo of a shopping cart with a "Please Keep Door Sign" in it and then a photo of that same signed fixed to the studio door. All after the fact... The day before that post, the business owner thanked the guest and party goers for "being kind, understanding and encouraging" during the ac malfunction and how the owner will consider their advice on some backup plans. So, you got FREE advice from a person that PAID to use YOUR space, used footage from that same party to PROMOTE your business and then turned around and made a messy Facebook post. I guess if you want to sit in a small hot room with no windows on a 85+ degree sunny day with the thermostat on lock down and an air conditioning unit that may or may not work. Combined with the expectation that you keep the door closed at all times (you can worry about getting room decor and food in without opening the door) then yes, this is the place for you.

Right off…read morethe bat, when we tried to order food, the bartender told us she'd have to check if the kitchen was still taking orders since they "close at 9." It was only 8:40, and when my husband asked why, she gave him a pretty sharp look before finally coming back and taking our order. We both got bacon cheeseburgers with fries. The fries were fine, but the burgers were terrible -- dry, completely lacking flavor, and clearly unseasoned. I just don't understand why bars bother offering food if they aren't going to put any effort into making it decent. We each only managed to eat half of our burgers, which is rare for us. On top of that, service was lacking. Our server never checked back on us, and we had to walk up to the bar just to flag someone down. Meanwhile, the bartenders were having the loudest time in the whole place, yelling and laughing amongst themselves louder than any of the actual customers. Overall, the vibe was off, the food was bad, and the service wasn't much better. We won't be going back.
