I have eaten at Lake Park Bistro and Sanford in the same day. At Sanford everything is PERFECT. It warms me inside to think of this James Beard awarded chief cooking for little old me.

Some people have sports or music or stamps as a hobby, my husband and I have dining. After dining at nearly all the fine dining options in Milwaukee, Sanford stands atop all the rest. The service is impeccable and highly professional. You can duck in for an exquisite entree or linger over a multi course meal. The menu is limited... more
