  • Ask anyone in Washington wine country and they will claim Saffron is one of the best restaurants in Walla Walla and maybe even the state of Washington Chef Chris Ainsworth has been a semi-finalist in the James Beard Foundation Best Chef Northwest for six straight years. His restaurant also received Wine Enthusiast Magazine's "10 Best Wine Travel Destinations" in 2014. The Free-Form Lazagna with Wild Board Ragu was amazing and the Patatas Bravas would make Idaho Potato Commission's Don Odiorne very proud.
