   Unfortunately our service was terrible. It was like we were repeatedly forgotten. The food was good and luckily another server helped us.

   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.

    The Ambiance was nice. Also the server and staff were excellent. Do feel the prices were a little high and the food quality was spotty. Some better than others. I would definitely skip the burger. Not worth $21. I've had better burgers at many less expensive places.

    they were off their game this time. We had their gnocci, and it was not prepared as well as the last time. Server was great... appetizers were very good (pretzels and pork belly). And the desserts were as well (key lime pie and carrot cake)
