We went to Sanford to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We had booked in advance and advised them of the event. We were greeted cheerfully and seated at our table right away. Our server brought the menu and wine list. We started with prosecco (what else?) while we decided what to have. Sometime, I'd like to try the special tasting menu... More

I had dinner here for the first time. It is First Class. The valet was a good kid. Everyone was very accommodating. Dinner and dessert were amazing. I sampled food from everyone at the table and tried food I had never heard of before and found everything to have amazing flavor! I highly recommend!!

Last night we were the first guests to have the new Exploration Menu at Sanford. This is a menu item that changes about on a monthly basis. I was told it was inspired by a trip that the chef/owner took to the French Quarter of New Orleans when he was there to cook for a fund raiser at a really... More

We've been here in the past, and were not disappointed on a return visit. The seasonal menu focuses on local ingredients, freshly and creatively prepared. There are about 10 appetizers and 12 mains, and often a special. There is also a tasting menu with wines to accompany. Plenty of variety to please most tastes, from veges to fish to meats... More

We are self-described foodies that are quite familiar with NYC, Chicago, and Los Angeles restaurants. Sanford's compares with the best of the best. Make your reservation and expect impeccable service and delicious food!

My sister and I had a wonderful experience dining at Sanfords. From the initial reservation to the final settling of the bill, Petra gave us the kind of attention expected with the price point of their menu. I don't splurge often but when I do it better be right and there was no disappointing us. She orchestrated our selections and... More

In the first part of December, the founders and long time owners of Sanford, Sandy and Angie D'Amato sold the restaurant to the talented head chef, Justin Aprahamian. I suspect that many customers were concerned about the future under new ownership. We have been there 4 times since the restaurant was sold, and I want to assure people that the... More
