The wings were juicy and perfectly seasoned. The second accommodation was the baked potato. They were able to provide a side of shredded cheese accompaniment upon request. Third accommodation was the virgin pina colada. I thoroughly enjoyed my half salad, which was plenty especially when paired with the wings app. The best part of salad were the freshness and quality of all the ingredients. Even with the way it was dressed and presented, the care and attention to detail was obvious. There's also the lobster bisque and Pavlova dessert. Loved it and it was picky-kiddo approved, especially that Pavlova which was just divine! We were very lucky to have dined with a performer player her guitar. She had a beautiful voice. We were also very lucky with our waitress. She boxes all our leftovers for us. We certainly recommend dining here. Everyone was warm and welcoming, including other guests.

This trip I had the Island Burger, double patty, lettuce, red onion, tomato and of course cheddar cheese. This comes with a side sooooo Chopped Beach Salad! It's a generous side serving of the salad. A Very satisfying meal. We sat outside and enjoyed a lovely evening in Westhaven! Keep it up Kokomos.

My daughter's meal from the kid's menu was a large portion and she enjoyed it. Their fries were tasty. My cocktail was refreshing. We enjoyed our meal here. I would love to return on a nice day and dine on the outdoor patio.

The blonde one actually seemed disgusted when I actually had to ask her a question. The drinks were good! My pecan crusted Salmon was mediocre at best.

Maybe this place does better at lunch during the week without so many kids screaming?

After a day of soccer, we found Scout's down the street from the fields. It's located in a cute…read moretown square area with a pond, swings, and grassy area for kids to play. We had a large group of 9 and they seated us right away. We chose to sit on the patio to enjoy the warm afternoon sun and breeze. It's a dog-friendly spot, and our kids loved petting the other guests' dogs (asking for permission of course). The inside is cute as well, but it would have been a little crowded with our larger party. But I could imagine hanging out with friends at the bar or on a date night with my wife. Scout's has a large and diverse menu, so everyone was able to order something to their taste. My son had a smash burger and appetizer of fries, cheese curds, poutine and bacon, my daughter had chicken tenders and Mac N Cheese, I had pizza, and my wife ordered taquitos. They also have a full bar and several craft beers to choose from. I had the Good People IPA, which is one of my faves. The service was excellent. Our server, Lauren, was friendly and attentive. Grabbed empty plates quickly, refilled waters & sodas without asking, and was ready to bring us the next round at just the right time.

Scout's Pub is a good for a casual dining experience with a variety of food options…read more We've had good luck getting a table around opening on Sundays. They accept reservations as well. Parking is easy with plenty of free parking available on the street or in the lot closer to Kroger. The restaurant offers a bar area, tables, and booths. It's casual with a dog theme. They have an outdoor patio as well. The service has always been friendly. I do find that it consistently takes longer than I'd expect for the food to come out. Just something to keep in mind if you're in a rush or have little kids. Our most recent visit was for the hard candy themed Christmas pop up. The decorations were cute and I liked the themed menu to go with it. The Holiday Joe was a delicious cocktail. I also really enjoyed the Bacon Wrapped Dates, Chicken Pot Pie Soup, and Korean Meatballs. The meals from the kid's menu are large portions. My kids have enjoyed the Burger and Butter Noodles. The fries are really good and fruit is an option if you prefer a healthier choice. On the regular menu we've enjoyed the Short Rib Sliders and Fish & Chips. The Hot Brown was fine, but not a favorite. The Chinese Chicken Salad was delicious. I really enjoyed the dressing with the salad. This is a good spot for us as a family since everyone can order different types of food. We have enjoyed our food here too.

My colleague and I noticed they had a control with green chartreuse in the mix so we had to have the mixologist make us a green chartreuse cocktail. The taste was phenomenal! For starters (because we were all starving), we ordered the fondue and the seafood tower to start off. I was so excited for the seafood tower since it included caviar. The flavors were delicious, but it was time to try the caviar. We asked the food and beverage manager the options and we did the on wrist "bump" method. I wasn't a huge fan, but very excited that I was able to try it out. Now the fondue, you can never go wrong with. Cheese and carbs, what's not to love? Flavor was devine. I wasn't looking over the menu and wanted to try the special, but by the time we ordered they were already out. I ordered the filet Oscar with the special sauce they had and was wowed by all the flavor and the cook on the steak. The chef really knows what he's doing here. For dessert we ordered the chocolate cake and the crème brûlée. Both fantastic! This is now my favorite place in Franklin's dm cannot wait to be back.

The cool ambiance of the factory is left at the door as the restaurant itself portrays a pretty standard modern steakhouse vibe. It's very nice, just not what I expected given its location. Food and service were top tier. We ordered the shrimp and octopus bruschetta, which was excellent. Cool take on a classic dish and the bread it was served on top was excellent. I also had their horseradish Caesar salad - very good but was hoping for a little more 'kick' given its name. I ordered the pan seared salmon over curry - definitely the winner of the night. Perfectly cooked and the flavors were unique and had depth. Great spot for a nicer restaurant in the Franklin area!

I am all about preserving the history of Franklin. However, it would have been nice if this charge would have been communicated to us upon arrival. We only learned about when the bill came.

This was our "splurge" dinner on a trip to Franklin, TN. My friend we were visiting had been before…read moreand had raved about it, but even she agreed this visit just wasn't up to snuff. The place is beautiful, but we were seated in the least interesting area. My friend said it used to be an open patio and was renovated for more indoor seating, which makes sense, but it lacked any real atmosphere. When I am spending this kind of money I want a slow, leisurly pace, and this felt rushed. Yes, we probably could have asked the waiter to slow things down, but we didn't. I ordered a specialty cocktail - the Midnight Sun that was delish - it was layered and around $16. The waiter then brought out what ended up being the highlight of the meal, a little treat from the chef. It was a creamy gnocchi dish to share, about three pieces each, super rich and honestly I could have eaten 20 more. We also spilt the bread flight. The bread was good but I wasn't a fan of the spreads, I'm a BUTTER person, these were more like bean spreads. The brussels sprouts with pork were also really good. Hubby and I split a mixed green salad that was pretty mediocre, and the croutons were almost too hard to chew. Then came the pork, which was a dissapointment. It was so tough it actually got caught in my throat a couple times despite chewing it well. We didn't even finish it. For the price, it should have been tender and full of flavor, and it was neither. My friend ordered the duck pasta and said it had "weird pieces of meat" in it. Her husband got the filet and loved it, so at least someone at the table was happy. We skipped dessert after most of us had disappointing entrees. I guess the good news is they rotate the menu every few months, so maybe it would be a totally different experience next time.

Very nice restaurant!…read more We had reservations at 7:45, checked in early and were seated on arrival. Upon entering the restaurant it seemed swamped but the staff was well prepared for the guests. Our server, was amazing! (I'm ashamed we didn't remember his name, Paul maybe). Nonetheless, he knew the menu, the specials, the drinks, and suggestions! We loved each and everyone of the suggestions and choices we made. Our dining experience started with the signature old fashion followed by a bottle of Heitz Cellars Cabernet! We ordered the lamb and brisket buns. Both were savory, delicious and well prepared. Followed by their Sushi Roll. It was described as "if you love sushi, you've never had anything like this." (I've had a ton of Sushi all over the world, and this was a spectacular Hamachi Roll.) we rounded out our meal with the Butternut Burrata and bread basket and a Beef Tenderloin. It was cooked to perfection and able to be cut with a fork. (I am salivating thinking about how perfectly it was prepared.) Just when we thought it couldn't be any better our server suggested we look at the dessert menu. He tempted me with a blood orange sorbet followed by a peanut butter chocolate pie. AMAZING! The fun thing was, I consumed the Heitz Cabernet throughout my entire meal - all the way through dessert. My high remarks to the chef and the staff because this team knows how to please and perform flawlessly!

I was visiting from out of town with some work colleagues. We got the dates wrapped in bacon and…read morepimento cheese balls as starters. They were both delicious. I got the fried chicken meal. It was the best fried chicken meal I've ever had. Lighting is very dim, which seemed to be the norm for this area of Tennessee. Seemed like every restaurant I went to it was dark. Not a fan of that. But that didn't sway my review. The only thing that is keeping this review from 5 stars is our service. To me it was disappointing. We had 7 people in our group. Most of us got water, while a few others chose alcohol. Our server couldn't even keep our water cups 1/4 of the way filled. We sat empty for a while and we never seen our waiter. We were there for about 2.5 hours and my glass was filled twice. I would much rather preferred him leave a pitcher for us than to not check and see if we wanted more.

It was such a small portion, i thought they had mistakingly given me a kids plate instead of the $16 dollar entree. I was still so hungry after scarfing that down, I ordered Fried pickles & peppers. It wasn't tasty at all! That appetizer was very greasy and over fried. For $10, there wasn't much of it, But, I didn't care because I didn't like it anyway. The pickles were small, and the peppers were so tiny, I couldn't even taste them. They were served with house made Ranch that didn't taste like ranch, more like a glob of sour cream. Service was great! They were apologetic for food not being up to par and asked me to come back for another try. I will go back, but if I'm displeased again, that'll be the last time. Too many places in Franklin to choose from to settle on mediocre food! I'm thinking I may go at happy hour and try the 1/2 price chicken fingers next time. I also had my eye on the Thai Peanut Chicken salad, so I may try it too.

National Cheeseburger Day?…read more I just found my spot. Relatively empty for lunch which helped ensure prompt service (which I might've gotten anyhow). Attentive, polite, and patient server, Sean. Absolutely delicious burger cooked to perfection. Simple, straightforward and loaded with flavor. Waffle, fries, while not a disappointment, were not what I expected. Yes, I did order them. But I expected hot fries, and these came more lukewarm. However, they were not greasy. They were still crispy, and in fact, they were nice change of pace. Topped it off with a cold draft brew. My kind of lunch, which means I will be back.
