3.5/5
Sassafras is one of the old establishment that's still surviving in the heart of Yorkville.
I am a long time customer of this place due to the location, and I can confidently say their food is just A Ok. Have too many up and down days. Seems like they are doing many changes to bring younger clientele and it definitely uped their food game but we will see whether it's going to last for long or not.
However, as a bar, they are pretty good. They have decent collection of wine and good cocktails.
They also have the most classy chill vibe around the neighbourhood. Despite of the all the recent changes, clientele of the place is still more on mature side. So it's a perfect place to do wine with ladies or mom & aunts.
Is this place worth making a trip? No.
Good place to bring a date? If you are 20s, no. If you are mid 30 plus, yes.
Will I go back? As long as my friend is working at the bar, I will.
