"Food was excellent. Service was wonderful. Downfalls were that a large party was in the same room as us and we were at a small two person table shoved into a corner. House is enchanting and the garden outside was fabulous. Wonderful place for a reception I would say."

"It was a terrific place. It was not very busy probably due to spring break but the service was terrific and the food was delicious. We thought it was reasonably priced as well. We recommend the place and will return."

"My wife and I have visited Sanford House several times over the last year. This was the first disappointing meal. Food was good as usual, but our usual server was not there & the waiter we had was not very attentive & had too many tables. Wouls still like to see a broader wine list"

"Absolutely delightful, romantic evening. Food presentation was excellant. The flavorful pork belly appetiser could have been the main course and I would have been happy. My veal chop was cooked to perfection (I had asked our server to have it prepared per the chef's choice). I am so glad I did. My wife's garden salad was well presented and fresh. She had the seafood special, salmon stuffed with scallops in puff pastry. The accompanying garden fresh carrots were perfect, not overcoked. The small baked potatoes (two per person) were prepared and well presented on the plate along with the entrees and carrots. We have been here before. Each time its gets better than the last. We will return many times. Bon appetit! P.S. Intimate bar."
