Honestly and amazing experience. We walked in at 630pm on a Wednesday and tables were full, but we managed to snag the last 2 seats at the bar top (thanks to a wonderful couple who moved over to give us the last 2 seats together). The service was impeccable, and the drinks were wonderful (a strong free-pour bartender lol). As a heads up, the menu at the restaurant is slightly different than the one online. Looks like it’s been updated recently! We ordered the tuna tartare, the pan roasted chicken dish, and the special - the swordfish. Every dish was AMAZING, and the serving sizes are very large! Had I known the servings were so big I wouldn’t have ordered the appetizer lol!! The tuna tartare was huge, but delicious and I highly recommend. Our two mains were also spot-on. Chicken and swordf

We really liked this place a lot. Everything in this place was exceptional, except for the hostesses. We Got there early and so we went and sat in the bar and had a drink and waited for our table to be ready. We checked in with the hostess and told the hostess that we would be sitting in the bar. 15 minutes after our reservation time, my husband went up to the hostess to check on our table. She said that she had been trying to text or call us, however, we had no missed phone calls, and no text messages on the number in which we gave the reservation. She said your table is ready. And my husband said OK well we’re sitting at the bar. So we sat there for about 10 more minutes, waiting for her to come and get us. No one arrived. We went back to the hostess stand again, and she said,

Absolutely incredible as always with the family of restaurants owned by the Wilson Family. The food was a 20/10 and was completely devoured. We have driven over 3 hours to go to Palm City Social the other restaurant owned by Chef Taylor and his Dad and this one definitely didn’t disappoint either. Locals you are definitely spoiled to have such incredible food and hospitality nearby. Please go out and support this amazing family and both restaurants.

We made reservation early today. I parked like three blocks and we came in here amazing so we definitely Make it a weekend outing. The double pork chops were beyond amazing and my wife had Crusted snapper. Out of this world definitely will become regulars/ I was going to take the photo before I started, but once I tasted, it couldn’t help myself next time

Had a visit in town for my Birthday getaway. Heard about the Gafford and decided it has best steaks! We were unfortunately unhappy with our seating in bar, the only short table in there! Was weird to be sitting below everyone in there and had no idea that we could’ve gotten a tall table if we had to come a little bit earlier and just not worried about reservations. Decided to stay because of the recommendation for steaks. My steak the Gafford) came out, perfectly, medium and tender, but with absolutely no taste. The wine and green beans were perfect, but did not like the mac & cheese that came with the steak as it was very smoky. My husband‘s meal was a filet and so-so. We were never offered a dessert menu. I felt a real let down on my birthday! Yay!! Green beans and Wine! lol Close to $20
