Very nice food. Service is amazing. We stayed at the Amorita Resort so had the luxury of eating here when we wanted. We enjoyed the fact that they had daily special board with some new menus daily on it. Drinks were excellent as well. The...view is amazing.More

I love and value my every visit to this restaurant. The staff are always the best. My only hang up is the food portions. They are too big thus becomes pricy. Thank you Amorita for this place!

Airy ambiance. Chill atmosphere. View of the pool , nature etc. A little long wait for food. But everything we ordered turned out right. From the chicken inasal, baked salmon , Thai meat and prawn , caesar salad and their wonderful desserts. Menu was quite...extensive from local , Asian, and Western. Their breakfast buffet was not as extensive as compared to nearby Henann , but it had a cozy and relaxed feel to it . Didn’t feel being rushed at all . Liked their breakfast room set up. Special requests for omelettes, iced coffee variants and even peanut butter can be provided. Great staff service overall. Nice thing is that their kitchen handles the room service of the resort as well .More

Had a wonderful family dinner last night at Saffron in Amorita Resort, Panglao Bohol. We were a big group of 11 pax and all the food we ordered was excellent. The cocktails were refreshing too! Special shout out to our lovely and super efficient server...and photographer INAH who took such good care of our big party. And PAPZ the bartender kept wowing us with the yummy cocktails that were on a Buy 1 Take 1 Promo. The restaurant is also very Senior Citizen and Wheelchair friendly. Saffron is a definite highlight of this Bohol family trip.More

I decided to dine here on two occasions. It was handy too, considering I was staying at the hotel on the restaurant site. In my review of the Amorita I couldn't say enough good about the resort in general. It's just that Saffron lets the...whole place down a bit. I was somewhat underwhelmed by what was on offer. The buffet night was good, but not great. My a-la-carte evening was very disappointing. To finish on a positive note though. Breakfast here was very good.More

Staff was very attentive. Facilities were OK but a bit dark at night, the place could use a bit more light. Be careful also of mosquitoes, so make sure you're seated near the fan. Ordered a shrimp kebab and it was quite small and overpriced....The canoli was okay. Got the buy 1 take 1 cocktail and it was okay for the deal.More

Stayed at Amorita. Included is breakfast buffet at Saffron. I'm very much pleased with how the fried rice was cooked (did not look or taste like the rice was from 5 days ago). Pineapple slices were very sweet! Enjoyed the dried fish and dried squid....Buffet also had preserved meats and imported cheese. I had a very late lunch today at almost 4pm. Tried the highly-recommended sinigang. Did not disappoint. Soup is thick. Pork slices were marinated in lemon sauce. Truly special! The best thing about this place is that service is excellent, matched only by the scenic view of the beach. Must try!More

Whilst reviewing Amorita as an overall resort, one of the major "CONS" that we wrote down was Saffron Restaurant and I am extremely confused how other guests liked this restaurant. My husband and I are foodies and my husband actually works in the restaurant business....We ate here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and each and every single meal time, we were left disappointed. Buffets in the morning were so bland, it was mind-boggling. And then, every item we ordered on the menu for lunch and dinner, every single dish was overly seasoned, and others swimming in sauce and bordering on being sweet--which was very concerning to me because I am watching my sugar intake but even dishes that aren't supposed to be sweet, tasted sweet. To be more specific, here are the food items we ordered besides the breakfast buffet: We got the Gado Gado Salad -- the sauce was TOO SWEET. We also got the Poke Bowl -- not only was it bad, the sesame sauce was also TOO SWEET. We got the Shrimp Sandwich -- and surprise, surprise, it was TOO SWEET. We also got the Chopsuey -- it was swimming in over seasoned sauce, completely overpowering the vegetables that we couldn't finish it. Got the Pinabusog na Pusit -- SUPER BLAND. Finally we got the Longganisa & Bree Pizza, SUPER BLAND --we couldn't understand why the pizza in Saffron does not have the same quality as pizza in Azotea. Like, why? Finally we discovered Tomar and Azotea, and ate there instead.More
