My go Restaurant when in Stuart! Just recently moved away and we have nothing close like the Gafford in Tallahassee.
And every time I come to the Gafford I bring new guests with me.
Keep up the great work and see you next time in. Next week maybe?
Enjoyed our Gafford Steak and Meat & Cheese tray - a must try! We split the steak, enough for 2 for sure!
Love this place! Amazing food. Get the burrata and you cannot go wrong with whatever their soup of the day is! We also got the special for lobster ravioli- fantastic!
As always, it was awesome!!!
Great service, great food!!
Best shrimp and grits ever! Wild hog bolognese is not to be missed! Parmesan cauliflower appetizer was amazing! The Gafford's diverse menu never disappoints. My new favorite restaurant!!
Best restaurant in Stuart. Amazing food, atmosphere, and drinks! Highly recommend!!
We love the Gafford when we come to Stuart. Excellent food, excellent service. We’ve never been disappointed.
5 people very happy about 5 different meals. Started with sharing meat and cheese board as well as roasted cauliflower. Swordfish, Salmon, Ahi tuna, Short ribs and Meatloaf for entrees. All beautifully prepared. No room for dessert!
We LOVE the Gafford. Food is always amazing and the friendly staff keeps us coming back.
Love the Gafford, we dine there once a week!! Great happy hour too!!
Always a winner - never disappoints! Service, food and atmosphere are the best! Highly recommended!
Always excellent food and service. This was no exception. Mabels fried chicken and street corn salad are both hard to beat.
Beautiful place and great food. Tuna app was small and not the freshest, but everything else was great! Awesome service but our server could not keep his mask over his nose and that was a little worrisome for our situation...but all the others had their masks up!
The Gafford was wonderful. It was our anniversary and we enjoyed our dinner
Great meal, staff very attentive. Will definitely return
Great food and service as always😀😀
Awesome experience, food was amazing and service was attentive.
This restaurant never disappoints. Their food is amazing, their service also amazing, and it's beautifully decorated for Christmas. You couldn't ask for a better place for an evening out.
Food was fantastic. Service was excellent. Loved it.
Super good quality always.
Always consistent ... Never disappoints. Still the best in Martin County.
We have been to the Gafford several times and this is the second time we have been placed near the kitchen. Tonight was a birthday celebration so we were hoping for a great experience and we were under whelmed by the experience. Our waiter was almost absent from our dinner, no celebration for the birthday and the takeout experience right behind our table was very distracting. We want to give the restaurant an excellent rating due to the food quality, but the personal experience is very underwhelming
Everything was great, food and service. We were uncomfortable
With patrons walking through the restaurant without a mask when there was clearly a sign at the door to enter with a mask.
Should have been enforced by management
Crab Cakes were the BEST..service (Trevor) was outstanding. Dinner was great we had Ahi Tuna and the meatloaf. Cant wait to go back
We LOVED our dinner and the ambience and food were the best! Definitely our GO TO favorite spot in Downtown Stuart!
Always always wonderful food and service Kim is our favorite
Decided on The Gafford for a sisters' birthday dinner and was this restaurant did not disappoint. The service was great, the food was delicious and the ambiance was so quaint. The hostess, Hanah, helped me with reservation at the bar and in the dining room; she was so sweet! We started in the bar for happy hour and enjoyed the $5 pineapple Tito's martini as well as the amazing cheese and meat board!! I cannot remember our server's name but she was wonderful. We moved to a table in the dining room for dinner and shared the shrimp n grits, street corn salad, and ribeye steak with mac n chees and green beans. Everything was delicious and Lauren, our server, was great! I will be back!
Our favorite not only because of the food, but Rick and his wonderful staff.
Very enjoyable evening and the food was very good. Compliment one of your managers who helped straighten out a gift certificate issue. We will definitely return in the future.
Absolutely best dinner in town1
Staff expert and engaging (our waiter Trevor very knowledgable of all preparations and best service), proprietor friendly and stopped by for quality check, great bar with expert drink. Great selection , from starter to dessert.
We've been going to the Gafford for years. The food is great.
This was our first visit to the Gafford, and we made a reservation since we weren't sure how crowded it would be. It was uncrowded when we arrived, but as dinner progressed people started filtering and more and more.
They offer an amazing selection of just about anything you could want. we opted for the homemade meatloaf, and we were not disappointed. We had plenty to take home for lunch the next day. The food was amazing, the service was incredible, and we absolutely loved it. We look forward to many more visits.
Fabulous as always!
The Gafford is our go to restaurant never disappoints
Great spot in downtown Stuart. Usually packed in season. One of our favorite to go to with our friends. The pork chops are to die for.
