The Gafford

Awesome food and cocktails! Trinton is an awesome wait person! Loved everything we had!

Always love the food and service. Trenton was our waiter and he was great!

Always great at The Gafford. Staff is great and food exceptional.

Great food -great service!

The Gafford is consistently excellent. The bartender is a craftsman. The mushroom soup was outstanding! The Caesar salad is delicious and was served as requested with extra anchovies. Mabel’s chicken is the best! The shrimp and grits entree has just the right amount of spice and the collards are a nice addition. No one had room for dessert.

Cody was our server did a great job very attentive

Excellent food, service, drinks!

Friendly and attentive staff.

This restaurant is outstanding! The food is delicious, the service is great and the prices are reasonable. Love the Scottish Salmon with barbeque sauce and the grilled avacado! Fantastic!

We had a wonderful Sunday supper at the Gafford. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable. The menu was very interesting. Chef Taylor knocked it out of the park with the scallops and the swordfish. I can't wait to get back for that Burrata though!

Love eating here. Food is always great and they have a terrific happy hour.

Always great service- food is incredible. My wife and I typically go to the Gafford for a quiet night out together or to celebrate with friends and family. Top dining experience in our area.

Visited Stuart FL and walking around town looking at menus for dinner. The menu was interesting so we made a reservation. Food was fabulous and service attentive! Definitely return if we are back in that area.

Sat at table on time..22 minutes later waitress asked us what we wanted to order. Waitress disappeared for the another 20 min, had to get another busboy to find her. Service sucked. SAD.
Table was next to kitchen, so get ready for funds , noise and the rushing of plates to the table. Sit elsewhere if going. Not a romantic place. Don't bring deaf in laws or older people with hearing aids .
Owner better get back into the business and pay attention to the details.

Fun night.The cauliflower app was delish and so was the soup. I had the fresh swordfish that melted in my mouth, my friend had the lamb chops that were yummy...so were the grapefruit basil martinis!

Our first visit was on our anniversary. We had a wonderful meal and experienced excellent service. We had a delightful evening and definitely will come back. We look forward to exploring the menu further!

Fabulous, as always!

Our favorite Stuart place. Good food and super waitstaff.

Gafford ALWAYS provides a great meal - from the burger, or meatloaf to the fried chicken or fish - it’s always delicious! The service and staff are wonderful as well, and it’s inevitable Rick will stop by you’re table, say hi and see how you’re doing. Have been 3x’s in the past 2 weeks. Had the pleasure of introducing new-bees to their deliciousness!

The Gafford has a great menu, something for everyone. We go often with very large parties and they are amazing. Food, service are fantastic. Highly recommend.

Don’t know why we don’t come here every week, the food is absolutely fantastic with great specials every visit! The owner makes sure to visit with every guest and makes you feel like family, for a great experience.

I was with my husband & 2 friends who also had not been here yet. Every item that we ordered was absolutely delicious! Far better than most restaurants. I am a former chef so I unfortunately am pretty hard to please, but we went back the next night because it was THAT good! Thank you . Lisa

Our favorite place:)

The food slipped a little from our previous experiences. My husband had the duck which had lots of rice filler and less duck. I enjoyed the cauliflower, the tuna tartare needed more sauce on the side. Still a good restaurant but don’t loose the passion!

We have never been disappointed with our meal at The Gifford. Whether you come for a burger or a gourmet meal, you will not be disappointed.

Best restaurant in Stuart. The chef Taylor is one of the best I've ever tasted. Plan all my trips to Stuart around eating dinner here

The service was efficient and wait staff very pleasant and friendly. The food choices made it difficult to select just one entree. They all sounded so good! We will have to go back to try more! We had the shrimp and grits and the fried chicken. Both were outstanding!!

Menu has a wide range of options, food is okay. The restaurant itself is cute and the staff is friendly.

Food and service excellent. Wee bit loud but over all waiter excellent and food tasted and was presented well

Crab cakes were excellent. Ribeye was awful. Service is good but very crowded

Had an outstanding birthday dinner and the Roasted Butternut Squash Soup was fabulous.

The Gafford is always a good bet. Food and service will never be disappointing.

Wonderful night out provided great food and service. One of our favorite restaurants in the PSL area.👍

It was good

Warm welcome and attentive service. A bit short on ambience but makes up for it with the quality of the food. And the prices are reasonable.

The red snappper was outstanding and the service was outstanding. :)
Go & Enjoy!

The Gafford continues to be one of the better options on the Treasure Coast for a great bar and very good, chef-driven food.
In summer months, don't miss what has to be one of the best Happy Hours in town - 1/2 price beverages and bottles of wine along with a small bar menu offering sharply discounted appetizers from their regular menu, such as incredibly delicious crab cakes and burgers.
But, alas, summer has passed. Go for the nightly dinner specials, ambiance, and enjoy a nice walk in downtown Stuart. One nit: service was inconsistent and amateurish.

This restaurant has good reviews, and a great recommendation from a friend. We were disappointed in the dated decor and unimaginative food that sounded better than it tasted. Not bad, just bland.

Best appetizer I’ve ever had...the fried green tomatoes. The pork chop was wonderful, tender and juicy. My sister had the shrimp and grits and it was also perfect!

It was as good as it always is. The food was excellent and our waitress was very attentive. We never have a bad experience here
