“In a world of endless dining options, it’s rare to encounter a restaurant that feels like a quiet revelation—one that doesn’t shout its excellence but simply delivers it, course after course, with such precision and grace that you leave wishing that you’d found this gem sooner. The food itself is the quiet star. Each dish arrives as a small masterpiece of balance—flavors layered with intention, textures that surprise without gimmickry. In short, this is one of the very best restaurants I’ve ever visited—anywhere. It doesn’t chase trends or demand attention; it earns it through quiet excellence. If you value food that respects both ingredient and diner, make the reservation. You’ll likely find yourself, as I did, already planning the return visit. Highly recommended—worth every moment and mile, and we come from SWFL.”

“Delicious! Our delivery driver accidentally messed our school order up and they were more than generous with fixing it for us when it wasn’t their fault to begin with. The coffee, breakfast sandwiches and donuts would’ve been worth it though had we paid for it twice!”

“Everything that we bordered was delicious. Great size portions and great customer service.”

“Everything we have gotten there is delicious! We LOVE the BLT on almost any bagel. They are always kind, helpful and very friendly. We visit town every few months and always make Brooklyn Bagels our go to eatery.”

“Had another great lunch today. Even with the chaos of Pumpkin Fest in town the hostess was polite and organized. Our server was Mama..she is a gem. Food was delicious”

“Wow!! What a place! It is SO rare to find an establishment that has the Perfect mix of: ambiance, food, service, music, vino/drinks and Owner engagement. This place hits it out of the park. The space is magnificent. The service is second to none. They make their own wine. The entertainment was wonderful (and not overwhelming). The food is spectacular and the hosts are warm and genuine. It’s obvious this, is a labor of love. We drove in from Cashiers and will be back Very soon. Great job Dion, Cathy, Renzo and Brittany. Not to be missed!!!!!”

“What an absolute delight! We stumbled upon this hidden gem of an Italian restaurant, and it truly lived up to its name. From the moment we walked in, the cozy, inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home. We decided to try their pizza, and it was a revelation! The crust was perfectly crispy yet wonderfully chewy, the sauce had that rich, authentic tomato flavor, and the cheese was perfectly melted. I absolutely loved it, and the kids devoured their slices with enthusiastic approval. It’s safe to say it was a hit with the whole family! Beyond the fantastic food, the service was warm and attentive, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. This is definitely a place we'll be coming back to again and again. If you're looking for incredible Italian food in a charming setting, this hidden jewel is a must-visit!”

“Perdect coubtry style food, great service.”

“I am giving 3 stars. I would give 5 stars if the service had been kind of decent. I was visiting family in Franklin this weekend and we chose to try Graff’s for the first time for lunch on Saturday. It was busy, but not swamped. We, a party of three, were greeted by the pleasant host who seated us immediately. We perused the menu, no server; I visited the restroom and came back, no server. I perused the menu again, no server. The host said our server would be out shortly. I thanked her. I could see the door to the kitchen/back and saw a server looking out…towards my table. After several seconds, she headed towards our table…in no hurry at all. She greeted us and took our drink order and started to leave. I asked if we could give our order since we had had plenty of time to look over the menu and knew what we would like. She took the order: an appetizer of cheese dip & chips, 3 “Big Money” burgers (came with fries). She returned with our drinks (all waters). After a little bit, I see her coming towards our table with burgers. We haven’t gotten the appetizer (for which the literal definition is: a small portion of food or drink served before a main meal to stimulate the appetite). She and another server put the burgers down and says “your cheese dip will be right behind your burgers”. Wait. What? My sister says that she doesn’t want it now that we have our entrees and that the purpose of an appetizer is for it to be served before the entrees. Then the cheese dip and chips are being sat down while she is saying that. My sister is too nice and says just leave it. There was a half apology. Didn’t feel sincere at all, but just something to say in order to flee the table. For the food: the burger was legit! It was cooked well, seasoned perfectly, juicy. The bun was toasted and the veggies on it fresh. The fries are my own personal problem. It’s like those frozen, lightly battered fries. They came out hot and were great for about the first three minutes…then they get cold and a weird texture. But they, too were seasoned really well and cooked perfectly. I just don’t prefer that type of French fry. I prefer just a plain, fresh cut fry. I had to ask for a refill on my drink. We asked for to-go containers for half a burger, and the appetizer. The server brought back one big open box….for half a burger, almost all of the chips from the appetizer, and almost all of the cheese dip. Yeah. We had to ask for a container for the cheese dip. I felt like a huge inconvenience at this point. I’d go back for the burger alone and try another side. I would definitely ask for another server if I ended up with the one from this weekend. The host was great!”
