    Best meal in Franklin, hands down. We are local and sorry we didn’t dine here sooner! Our waitress Aly, in particular, made our experience even more enjoyable - she was wonderful in every way. When we dine here again, we will be asking for her!

    The baked truffle gnocchi and the bread service were the highlights of our meal. Service was great!

    Excellent food & great service in a lovely setting. Expensive … but that seems to be the new normal. At least it wasn’t something I would have made at home. Had the tile fish and the veal, both very good. Veal was a Large portion.

    Franklin's finest hidden gem!! The menu is brilliant, the service unmatched (Thanks, Barry!), and the food is nothing short of inspired. Please tell no one - it's hard enough to get a table as it is!!

    This was our first experience with Cork and Cow and decided to go for our anniversary. Liked the atmosphere, but the food was inedible. It was nicely presented, but so overly-salted that, after a few bites, we just gave up. It wasn't just one dish that was too salty, it was the filet, broccolini, and veal parmesan. Also,the Caesar salad was unremarkable. The cocktails and bread were very good, however.

    The food is amazing. We had filet mignon with grilled asparagus and Mac and cheese. For dessert, we had crème brûlée. The entire experience was fabulous and the food was delicious. We are becoming regulars. Recommend making reservation early because they book up. This restaurant is where the locals eat. Well worth the money.

    Food was very good, probably a 7.5/10. Service was good not great. We ordered bread but it was forgotten for a while until the server remembered. The steak was good but definitely not worth the price. I also ordered a side of mac n cheese but it was forgotten also. Since we finished our meals and the mac never came we cancelled the mac n cheese and went for dessert, which was complimentary from the server. Overall, it was good, but not good enough for us to go back again for those prices and that 2 items we ordered were forgotten about (although 1 finally made it to the table).

    Cork and Cow is at the top of the list for steak, cocktails, and just about anything on the menu. This time I had the scallops and was very impressed. Bottom line, it is hard to go wrong. We love this spot and will keep coming back!
