The Corner Kitchen & Bar — Restaurant in Franklin

Very disappointed with all aspects of our visit today ... was not overly busy for the time of year, however the service was very poor with disinterested staff, lack of manners and certain felt they were happy to take our money but didn't want to really engage more than they had too ...had to ask where the coffee was I had ordered as other tables served before us but arrived after .. no appolgises when it arrived ... though unable to drink as coffee had been burnt, smoothie severed in a warm glass direct from dishwasher.. lunch was a overcooked chicken burger and beef burger and our chips tasted like they had been cooked twice 😪 waitress came to table to clear plates before we had even put knife and fork down... didn't ask if we had finished or why 1/2 our dinners still on plates just cleared them... Witnessed staff directly holding food (no gloves/tongs) from cabinet then serve it to a customer .... When we paid no engagement from staff member, just told cost and they started to walk away as I was using card, no how was the meal, thank you for coming etc ... as a local I definielty wont be returning. $80 I wish I spent...

Just had an outstanding beef burger, with fries. WOW! Chilli bacon jam, brioche bun with 2 x handmade beef patties, with a top end cheddar melt, full of fresh salad, washed back with a craft hazy pale ale…(in a giant pint glass, man-heaven 😀). Fries crispy and delicious. This place was a real find, the food sensational, the service warm, friendly and customer focused. Cannot speak highly enough. My 94 year Dad had the gourmet pulled lamb wrap, juicy, and we’ll seasoned. The Vietnamese beef salad…with caramelised chilli sesame dressing, really beautiful. Portions are generous, using fresh local ingredients. Didn’t have space for the sticky ginger date…next time. Relaxed and cool vibe, country kitchen feel, prices are very reasonable and the drinks menu extensive. 5 stars from us, we will definitely be back. Congratulations to the really nice people at the Corner Kitchen in Clevedon. ...

Wanted to try out the new menu so arrived for an early dinner with 3 other guests and enjoyed pre-dinner drinks out on the new deck. Impressive wine list and some interesting beers to choose from. Lovely setting on the deck with the last of the days sun streaming in and surrounded by the foliage.

Service was prompt, knowledgeable and friendly.

Moved inside to a booth for dinner. New layout inside is cozy and provides for intimate seating.

Oysters with Kahawai pate was superb. Dumplings to die for. We shared these two entrees amongst the 3 of us.

I chose the ribs for my main and this was also superb.

Can't remember the name of the accompanying red wine (which was recommended) but it was just right.

Service continued to be excellent and my companion's mains were also raved about (Salmon and Beetroot, and the Pork).

We'll be back, for sure. Highly...
