Saffron’s was created by John Kolevris in 1989, he started with just the dinning room and added on a lounge, and the famous patio that is so popular today. Saffron’s was named after one of the most expensive spices in the world. We specialize in Mediterranean cuisine and offer our dinning room or lounge for private parties with no booking charge, please contact to book your private party today.
Situated in the heart of Corydon Little Italy and one of very few restaurants left on the strip that are under the same name or ownership, Saffron’s has become famous for the Patio, usually there is a waiting list on a hot summer night. The location alone is worth the wait to find a nice spot on the patio to enjoy a glass of Sangria and some appies or Dinner. Saffron’s is open seven days a week and all year around, every Friday and Saturday there is karaoke, and a feature DJ on Sunday's.

We all had an appetizer and entree and we were very impressed! my wife bought a dealfind for this place and we loved it. we definatley will be going back
This was one of the worse meals I've ever had and I will never eat there again. The mussels had cream of celery soup dumped on them, the 'grilled' chicken was boiled and tasteless, and the entire salad was completely swimming in a horrible sauce. The waitress showed little concerned that I left my meal untouched and was not interested in trying to make my meal worthwhile. The only thing Saffron's has going for it is its location, otherwise I don't see how it would have any business.
The food is great , the selection is big especially for corydon and for a restaurant that big the food took a little long but if you order appetizers time passes and there calamari and saffrons mussels are to die for. The server we had was very pleasant and the drink service was pretty fast, unlike some other patios in the city where you ignored for half an hour before you are even greeted. The patio has a great view of the busy street I highy recommend..
While people rave about this restaurant, I believe it is more because of the drinks than the food. The chicken breast was half frozen and the rice did not have the fragrance of safron in it despite it being advertised as such. The only thing that would save the meal was the vegetables, which, by the way, were so oversteamed that they were extremely flabby and soft. Definately not a place to take someone, or to eat by yourself. The staff there also did not seem to care for the customers, except if they wanted drinks. No asking how the meal was, if anything could be better, or anything else. I paid for a half eaten meal and left, vowing never to return.
