Best Casual Restaurants in Grafton

Devin and all the staff are very knowledgeable and attentive and the food is always amazing

We had an early reservation because we were going to a concert. We were initially seated in a quiet dining room and my wife asked to switch to a more lively area, which they did without hesitation. Our waiters, Stanley and Diana were an awesome duo curating our experience. Friendly and knowledgeable, and just the right presence. Our steaks were superb. I got the bone in ribeye and my wife the petite filet and it was so well seasoned I didn’t have to ask for salt! For a starter I had the lobster bisque with large chunks of lobster and my wife got the wedge salad which the waiter offered to have chopped for her. Of course. Nice touch. They have an excellent wine list. We started with a Latour 1er Cru and then to a Spottswood Cab which was served in a crazy long gooseneck decanter. The waiter was standing about 6 feet away to pour. It was fun and we had a Super experience. I loved this place.

We love that Safina's is a family-owned and operated restaurant. The service is impressive. Mariana, the Server, was friendly and helpful. Mr. Giovanni Safina and his son, Sal, were attentive, ensuring our satisfaction. The food is excellently prepared and delicious. The Calamari Fritti was fresh ( too many places serve it rubbery) and perfectly breaded and seasoned. Giovanni's Veal Colleta is a favorite. The Tiramisu is the perfect end to a pleasurable dining experience. This restaurant is a GEM, and we highly recommend dining at Safina's.

Everything was delightful! Wonderful and attentive server, Kayla - awesome! The food was outstanding - beautifully prepared and presented. Drinks were excellent! Love the ambiance and added perk was the holiday decor which made the space even more welcoming. We had several noisy tables around us which was a little disappointing for our table. Overall, however, a great experience and wonderful vibe.

First timers on 11/16/24. Everything about our visit was outstanding. The food (I had the Pork Chop and my wife had the Walleye) was perfect. Even the basic side salad was interesting and delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Being a distillery, the cocktails were fabulous. The room was inviting and social and still "private" enough. Will be going back. Been a long time since we've been so pleased.
