The Gafford in downtown Stuart bills itself as a restaurant where “casual meets upscale,” and it’s an apt description. The atmosphere is convivial, but the food leans more to the sophisticated. The Gafford is a family-owned eatery. Rick Wilson is the owner, along with his wife, Elizabeth, and he can be seen most nights expediting orders in the open kitchen or chatting with diners, making sure the food and service are just right. He’s spent more than 30 years in the restaurant business.

This unique spot boasts an array of alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, light bites, comfy seating, plenty of games, and live music
