I simply love Thai food, but the food at Saffron was the worst I've ever had. We ordered the Thai barbecue chicken, spicy beef panang, stir-fried vegetables and the shrimp Pad Thai. The supposed Thai barbecue chicken was uninspiring; it was merely roasted chicken that completely lacked seasoning. There was nothing Thai about it. Panang is my favorite curry dish. This beef panang dish was simply a travesty and a disgrace. It reminded me of day old beef stew that you would find at any American high school cafeteria with a little bit of spice thrown in. The stir-fried vegetables were remarkably tasteless. I was immediately suspicious of the pad thai when I saw the small cocktail shrimp interspersed through the dry, tasteless noodles. The pad thai was not memorable at all. Overall, the meal was extremely disappointing, lacked authenticity, and it was relatively pricey for the quality ($31+ for our meal). If you are a lover of Thai food, authentic or not, I think you will be very disappointed as I was.
