A couple of weeks ago, I had the distinct pleasure of eating at Saffire Restaurant, located in The Factory at Franklin.  It was the first time I have eaten there, and I LOVED it! 

These photos I have are really bad - took them with my iPhone (when are they going to work on getting flash photography down?) - but I will share them regardless!

You know you have arrived at The Factory when you see the big water tower...

As you enter the building from the Franklin Road side, you will bear left and keep walking until you see Saffire Restaurant.

Once you are inside, the ambiance is really neat - all the tables and chairs are different from each other. 

The server starts you off with some yummy corn muffins and biscuits!

Or you can belly up to the bar for drinks first...

I ordered the pork chop, which is supposed to be one of their specialties.  And it was GREAT!  The pork chop was cooked to perfection.  It was really big, as in I could only eat about a third of it!  I think it was supposed to come with different side items, but I asked for the mashed potatoes and some asparagus.  A little flavorful surprise was that they drizzled some molasses onto the potatoes and pork chop (YUMMY!). 

I was too stuffed to have the dessert.

There is a huge cowboy on the wall on the right if you can see him!

I would DEFINITELY recommend Saffire Restaurant - the service was great and so was the food!
