    Exceptional service and cocktails! You know when you walk into a restaurant and the vibe just feels right? That's how we felt entering Slanted Window. Bourbon and wine sourced from NC in a tastefully decorated old gas station with open garage doors, picnic tables and a stack of throws for the ladies who feel a bit chilled. Frank was fabulous and had excellent recommendations from the menu. Live music was amazing. We will come back to Franklin just to visit this place. It was a packed house and we were lucky to find a spot! Love, love, love!

    Loved all the food we tried here! The prices were comparable for the area. Our hostess was great and answered any questions that we had. I recommended the Cuban and I can't wait to go back and try the Reuben next time! If you want some good food and nice atmosphere you should check Slanted Window out!!!

    Chef Mary and her team did an excellent job helping us plan for our private event . Everyone had a great time and everyone was very complimentary about the food , the drinks, the venue and the service. They went the extra mile preparing a beautiful and tasty selection of food for our gathering. The presentation was beautiful - we highly recommend for any event or just stopping in during regular business hours. You will not be disappointed!!
