    Traci and I enjoying the Terrace at The Library Grill.  It's a twin wine weekend!
    Staci C.

    My twin sister and I had an hour to kill before heading to Grayson College for a performance my niece was a part of, "Taming the Shrew". We walked out back to the terrace and ordered a glass of wine each. Lauren was a fantastic bartender and very friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, we were not able to stay very long but the atmosphere on the terrace and the wait staff was wonderful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you so much! Next time we are back in town, we will come for dinner.

    Great menu and fairly busy in the middle of week. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Old home turned into a restaurant gives quaint vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is very friendly. A tad pricey but doesn't disappoint. Went here for a first date and definitely recommend.

    Salad with shrimp.

    Are y'all dog friendly?

    They do not have outdoor seating, even though they have an area in the back that is suited for it. Since it's indoor only, I would assume they are not dog friendly. There have never been dogs there when I've gone.

    Do you have a corkage policy and if allowed, how much?

    Yes there is and I do believe it's $15

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. We came here last year for Easter and will probably return next year. The saving grace was the arrival of the Easter Bunny and the indoor Easter egg hunt. #DenisonTexas #GraysonCounty

We got the pretzel bites to start, which were really good! The salad with blackened salmon on top and I forget what they were called but similar to a "dynamite shrimp" type dish were both really good too! Drinks were also great (my husband got a few different beers all of which he said were nice! He drinks mostly IPA drinks and is super picky so for him to find good beer is saying alot! I had a few different cocktails all of which were super refreshing on the hot day it was) we would recommend anything to eat or drink from there for sure!

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

    I really enjoyed the American cuisine here--great food and a nice atmosphere overall…read more I ordered the French onion soup and the Reuben eggrolls. The French onion soup seems to be popular here, and as soon as I saw that buttery-looking pastry puff baked on top, I knew I had to order it! It was definitely hearty, with plenty of onions (which I love). However, it was a bit saltier than I prefer. I do wish there were an option to substitute the onion soup with a chowder, like clam or corn chowder. The Reuben eggrolls were surprisingly good! I'm used to traditional Asian eggrolls, so I really liked this creative twist. The house-smoked pastrami, sauerkraut, and melted Gruyère cheese worked so well together. They tasted amazing with the spicy Russian dipping sauce (which I appreciated wasn't too spicy). It was such a flavorful and memorable dish! I'm glad I gave it a try.
