Smoke Cantina

Absolutely excellent service from our waitress tonight. She brought our little golden doodle some water, explained the specials and some of her favorite dishes. I'm pretty happy with our meal overall. I got the salmon salad, good portion with a generous slab of salmon. . The hummus plate that I got for an appetizer was good but if I could change a few things, i'd do carrot slices and not little shavings so that I could dip in the hummus. The bread was just sitting on top of the hummus, making it rather messy and difficult to add the ingredients to the bread. The bread was toasted and warm which was nice. So maybe refining that dish a bit would be my suggestion. We sat outside and it was really nicely shaded with a good breeze. A few tables in the alley way to choose from. The inside looked nice but since we had our dog, we had just one option. Overall, I'd come back to eat here. Thanks for a nice dining experience.

One of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. Every tapas, every meal was delicious. Service was great and management was great when one meal took longer than the rest. Can't wait to go back. Love the music and set up, just wish it was big enough for a full bar.

Delightful pot roast dinner. Server Tawnya was very attentive. Chef Danielle came to check and make sure everything was right.

Made reservations for a large party on a Friday night. The place is small but in an adorable stylish way. They were able to utilize all of the space. The hostess booth is located by the alley entrance which is no biggie just a bit different than what people are used to. The food was amazing!!! We had the tamale sharables and we practically licked the plate clean. I ordered the pork chop and added cooked mushrooms. It was honestly the best pork chop I've ever eaten! Everyone loved their food and desserts!

Our first time at this lovely decorated restaurant in Franklin. The atmosphere was warm, our server was friendly, and the food was out of this world. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and everything was delicious. This is a must-visit if you're in NW PA!

Splendid! I knew this place was going to be awesome given just a bit of time! The hostess greeted us amid multiple larger parties waiting, and directed us to seats at the bar because all of the tables were full. Our server arrived quickly, and she was familiar with the menu. She recommended multiple items that she had tried; we opted for the fillet and the pork chop. While we were making "foodie talk" with the server, another staff member offered to let the kitchen know we had ordered a pork chop since they were almost out of them (yay teamwork!). We skipped apps due to time constraints, and our meals arrived quickly and nicely presented. The roasted potatoes, mac 'n cheese, and brussels were all perfection. My husband and I both agreed the steak and the pork chop were the best we've had locally. The chef stopped to chat for a few minutes, and our server checked in frequently throughout our meal. I knew they would overcome the new restaurant hurdles quickly. It's still a bit noisy, but when everything else about the meal is perfect, that's easily overlooked. By far one of the most eclectic and interesting menus in Venango County, and now the service is on par with the food. Highest recommendation.

We had french onion soup, cantina salads, a pork chop dinner and a cod + crab cake special. My husband raved about the pork chop and the gluten free chocolate cake in a mug. I thought the pork chop was very good but didn't measure up to my favorite (Georgetown Eats in Volant PA). He also loved the dessert. My favorite was the cantina salad. I had subbed out the mixed greens for romaine and everything about it was perfect!

Everything was perfect. The mixed drink menu is exceptional and well thought out .What a little gem for a small town Food was excellent,service was even better.

The atmosphere is relaxed and warm. The service is great. The food was fabulous. App, drink, and dinner was $50, which I feel is more than fair for the quality of food and service.

Cute place. Our waitress seemed a bit snooty. Food was good, but portions are on the small side. The tables are way too close together. You feel like you are having dinner with those on either side of you. Like, we literally said hi to the people sitting there when we sat down, because they were inches from us.
