We found Saffy's on Trip Advisor. The food was excellent and so was the service. Glad that we booked, otherwise we wouldn't have got a table. It was busy. Menu was great. There were so many things that we could have ordered, we were spoiled for choice. More

The service in Saffys matches the food - which is simply excellent! Having tried many of the menu choices I am yet to be disappointed. More

We have visited Saffy;s on many occasions and we have NEVER been let down. The quality of food is first class - never tasted fish so fresh and the crisp batter with the home made chips - what more could you want.... We WILL be back. More

We have just visited Saffys for the first time, despite living in Ayr for years, we eat out at least once a week, and after eating here can't believe we haven't been before now. Everything was freshly cooked to order.There was a very varied menu, with a note on the bottom from the chef saying if you had likes or... More

I have heard many people state how lovely Saffy's is, however I was left a little underwhelmed. I did not have a bad meal however I have had better in Ayr for a much similar price. More

The menu is surprisingly varied for such a small place and the bar is well stocked. Original artwork on walls is always interesting and the waiting staff are friendly and well trained. Especially good value lunch - it's usually pretty busy at the weekend so it's worth being early. It's a very easy place to while away the afternoon over... More

We have eaten many times in Saffy's, but after a recent works Christmas meal and a family night out, the time has come to add a review! The restaurant is small, and as others have said, it does have a bistro atmosphere, but the joy of this is that you can happily go in your jeans and be comfortable, or... More

Booked our work Xmas meal for 15th December, had seen the menu before we went and it stood out as not being the usual run of the mill Xmas party menu. There were a variety of starters enjoyed by our table, Pâté, Goats Cheese Bruschetta & soup, all received enthusiastic thumbs up from everyone. We all seemed to stick to... More
