Saffron Tower

Craig told me we were having dinner at Saffron Tower. I assumed this was a restaurant on the resort property. He had asked our golf cart driver for directions to the Tower, but the driver arranged for someone to come back and pick us up for dinner. A good thing, because it would have been an interesting hike in the dark. Here I am in front of the tower:


As we headed up the stairs, it became obvious that this was not exactly a restaurant. We took this long winding staircase to the top of the tower:


At the top, we found a single table set for two. Here's the picture our waiter took for us:


To serve our dinner, the waiter went downstairs and drove off in a golf cart to pick up each course. When he returned, he would carry it upstairs before leaving us alone again. Craig didn't know what we were going to be served (and I obviously had no idea), but I did find the menu later in the room service book:


Appetizers:





Soup:


Main Dishes:





And dessert:


Aside from a few surprise encounters with cilantro, the food was very good. But the setting was incredible. And the company, of course, couldn't have been better. (Our waiter abandoned us for most of the meal. He spent most of the meal driving to get more food, I believe. So Craig and I had the tower all to ourselves.) It was a marvelous treat.

  1. Amazing Thai food (mostly seafood) in the deserts of the Middle East. The view (though dark) was amazing. We could see lights for miles.
