   Love the setting and our wait staff was fabulous! Lucy was outstanding. The kitchen delivered our salmon dish being a little Room temp and the green beans were old in appearance or very overcooked with high vinegar levels. They did correct it all which was then the quality it should have been to start with. Ribeye was just ok. Again, Lucy was great and then at had nice cocktails, too.

   The croquettes were delicious! Love the truffle flavor. The pork was good but nothing special could’ve had more flavor. They were out of two of the items that really caught my eye. The ambience was great definitely…Service was a little to lack for me..I would give it another try

   We love the Old Jailhouse. Good food and amazing craft cocktails. Our waitress, Sierra, was lovely and very attentive. The food is always good and today was no exception. I was feeling basic and just had a burger but even that is elevated with an onion jam and flavorful beef mix.

   I took my parents to this restaurant for lunch. We enjoyed our meals - tenderloin skewers and chicken winner lunch. My dad said his was outstanding and that’s unusual for him to say. He especially loved the potato’s that came with the tenderloin. My mom loved the sauce on the tenderloin. We shared a raspberry cheesecake and it was one of the best desserts I have had in awhile. We will be back!

    We had a lovely Valentine’s Dinner in the “solitary” jail cell. What fun! Service was great and the food was exceptional. We had oysters, beet caprese, gnocchi and salmon. Each were excellent. We also had an espresso crème brûlée. Fantastic. We also had a bottle of the house bubbly which was an excellent value. Will return.

    Dining on a Thursday evening we were promptly seated in a small room with one other couple who left shortly after we arrived. So basically a private dining room. Our waiter Tres was courteous & helpful. Portions were generous.

    This a cute place and our server was very nice. We went for brunch and I think they must’ve just started a brunch menu because the options were limited. The food was ok but food portions of some of the menu options were small (i.e. chicken & biscuits).

    We had dinner there last night and it was fantastic. We started with the pork belly as an appetizer which was huge, then the pumpkin curry soup, then the pork shoulder. Everything was incredible. We would highly recommend it.

    This is a very cool place with the decor and history. Food was good and service was very good. My only negative was that I made reservations and felt like I was seated at a high top in the bar almost as an afterthought. Reservations were made weeks in advance. I would have expected a regular table.

    Visited Sanford for a Friday nite dinner before seeing the Asian Lantern Display at the Zoo. Sat outside on the sidewalk tables as it was a nice evening. Ordered pork loin. It came out different than I expected. It was on a skewer over some rice and red cabbage. It was ok . Red cabbage was very bland (how does that happen. My wife got the sweet potato Gnocchi. I wish that I had, The cream sauce was delicious and the gnocchi was plump and tender. A home run. We also ordered a large side of Brussel sprouts. This was huge (enough for 4 people) and they were delicious. Overall a pretty good experience. We probably will return but I will order differently.

    The jailhouse is always a wonderful place to go in Sanford. The gnocchi is to die for and made in the house. We had a nice meal after the Holidays Homes Tour. I had a Moscow mule but served in a regular drinking glass. Was a little off. My friend had a dish where Brussel sprouts were a side and they tasted amazing just under cooked. Overall great experience.

    We dined in one of the front rooms where there were 3 other tables seated. Our server was fantastic and had great recommendations - we ordered the black and blue pasta dish and the seasonal gnocchi with cream sauce both of which were delicious. The cocktail list is fun and imaginative and the wine list has some great options. The ambiance was festive although it can get a little bit loud. The location is fantastic, we love downtown Sanford there are so many things in walking distance of the Jailhouse and parking is pretty easy there is street parking and several lots nearby.

    This is a gem in Sanford! Food exceeded expectations- food was fresh, very nicely presented, reasonably priced and tasty. They have a limited menu but do it well. Service was attentive and informative. The decor and layout of restaurant is unique and interesting- we will return and recommend to others!

    The building and restaurant are a really cool concept. The decor was fantastic for Halloween and being that we were about to do a ghost tour it really started the night off for spookiness. However, was disappointed the cocktails are “batch made” so nothing can be done if you don’t like gin or whisky because they are the only option. The wine pour was a little less than generous. The fish dip appetizer: The pita chips stole the show AMAZING. Fish dip was so so. Burger- asked for medium, was on the medium rare side. Fries tasted like they came from frozen. The sweet potato gnocchi with sausage was amazing- delicious for fall. A little overpriced for Sanford- I live in Winter Park and prices were the same we see around here. Probably wouldn’t make a trip back due to having so many great things around us, but a fun night out just the same.
