Stafford House sits on the south side of Denison's beautifully renovated Katy Depot--literally…read moreinside the historic train station that once served as a major gateway to Texas. I visited on a Saturday evening for an early dinner with my parents and sister. (Side note for Dallas residents: If you're familiar with the Katy Trail, it's worth the drive to see where it all began. When the Katy railroad tracks were removed in Dallas, the trail was born. While Denison doesn't have a trail today, the original depot remains, and it's a lovely place to explore.) The atmosphere at Stafford House is calm and refined, with deep burgundy tones, and brown leather accents lending it a warm, intimate feel. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. We started with the steak carpaccio appetizer, which was savory and full of flavor. For dinner, the ladies each had the Airline chicken with mushroom risotto, while my father and I ordered the lamb T-bones. I swapped the vegetable medley for sweet potato grits, which were decent but lacked any noticeable sweet potato flavor. Definitely put Stafford House on your must-visit list. It's a beautiful little spot for a quiet, intimate dinner. And don't miss their adjacent bar--it's equally charming and perfect for a pre- or post-dinner cocktai

Called my daughter she had already arrived and said the gate was open when they got there. So guess who gets to open the gate in the rain? Me, in the rain and dressed in my new Easter attire. We were quickly seated, and presented with the Easter Brunch menu. A waitress came by and took our drink orders. She brought them and then we sat and waited and waited. No one knew who was taking care of our table. We finally placed our order and the food arrived at 11:53. The 12pm patrons started arriving. My son in laws order was wrong 3 times. So we didn't get to all eat together waiting on his correct order to arrive. We were apologized to profusely. The sweetest employee kept apologizing over and over.

Who knew that Durant, Oklahoma, had a upscale restaurant? They just celebrated their 1 year…read moreanniversary. The manager helped us out first, Chandler. He took his time to explain the menu, answer our questions, and made sure that we had our appetizers and drinks. Grace was our waitress, she was attentive, checked on us multiple times and made sure that our table had whatever we needed. I was celebrate my birthday so it was a nice treat to enjoy the ambiance and really enjoyed all of their food for an appetizer. We shared the okra spears. The batter is really good, I do wish they were fried just a little bit longer, but that's just personal preference. I got there espresso martini to drink and it was made very well. For my meal, I tried the savory mushroom and swiss crepes and was even more impressed when I found out that that almost everything that they make in the restaurant is made fresh, including chopping the mushrooms and making the gravy. It was so flavorful and seasoned perfectly. I also got a side of fruit and I really enjoyed the pears and the apples. I also got a side of the truffle fries, and they were some of the best i've ever had. Of course I had to get dessert because it's my birthday. I chose their seasonal tart, which was a bourbon peach tart. The peaches were flavored really well. I added vanilla ice cream, and it took it to another level. The only critique I have is that the crust could have been cooked a little longer. But overall, my meal was exceptional. If I come back to Choctaw casino, I will come back here. Also above the restaurant, they have a boutique hotel. I definitely want to come check out a suite as well. Just so you're aware, they do charge an 18% gratuity. So be mindful when you're tipping, but we gave extra, because Grace did such a good job.

Let me begin by saying that the customer service and overall experience was FIVE STARS!…read more You walk into a space that has an intimate charm to it and a menu that has some creative options. We got seated and Chandler came over to greet us. He made some suggestions and went above and beyond to make sure that our visit was a memorable one. Grace was our server and she made sure that our cups were never empty and plates didn't stack up on the table. We started with the okra spears. Whole pieces of okra that are battered and served with a ranch dipping sauce. Now this is totally about preference but for us, the okra needed to cook a little longer, especially the larger pieces, but the seasoning was on point. I got the meat lovers omelette and it came with potatoes however I was looking for something lighter. I was given options of truffle fries, sweet potato fries or fresh fruit. I opted for the fruit (slices of apples, pears, oranges). They use a thick cut bacon and I personally prefer my bacon cooked harder so there were some pieces that were chewy and not to my liking. I also felt that the eggs were cooked a little too hard. However with that said, everyone else at the table really enjoyed their food and as I mentioned we were checked on numerous times and I was asked if I wanted them to replace it (at this time I was almost done so no need for that). Everything mentioned in this review was also discussed with Chandler and I appreciated that he took constructive criticism as well as positive feedback well. Overall we had a great experience and we would definitely come back. Note that they give a discount for paying in cash and gratuity is added to the check however you have the opportunity to change it.
