    This has a very cool atmosphere. Leans toward Indian flavors. Not my partners favorite but I loved the skirt steak. Flourless chocolate cake was so good!

    We had dinner reservations for 630 pm and were first guest of the evening. The staff were friendly and attentive. The drink menu was limited but they were able to substitute and make something nice. The food was tasty. This is a great place for an after theater stop for empanadas and drinks.

    Really disappointing. Service was terrible. The pisco sour was unlike any I've had before, and not in a good way. Music was too loud. Will be surprised if this place is still open in 6 months.

    This was my hubby and I for a date night. The restaurant was beautiful 😍, the wait staff was accommodating and nice, and the atmosphere was lively but also gave private time for conversation. The entire experience was positive and easy.

    New restaurant alert! 10 out of 10 rating Sanctuary_2025 is a restaurant of inclusion, where everyone is welcome and different cultures are celebrated by their cuisine. You will feel like you are walking into someone's house. You can sit on a padded armchair, at a patio table, or even at the long fire table (so cool). To say the menu is eclectic is an understatement. They are defining the word eclectic here. The food is a fusion of dishes from around the world. Empanadas from Argentina, British Fish & Chips, Peruvian Chifa Lomo Saltado, and more. Make sure to leave room for dessert. The choices are amazing. Here's what we drank and ate here: Godmother (whisky, amaretto, lime.) Enough Trouble (Old Forrester Bourbon, pineapple juice, lemon juice, honey). Sinaloa Shrimp Aguachile Thai Pomelo Greens Salad Argentine empanadas (these were huge and delightful). Blackened Chili Tamarind Ribs Tandoori Skirt Steak Bread Pudding Ceiling Smasher Sex (fried ice cream) Tip: I mixed together the Thai Pomelo Greens Salad and the Sinaloa Shrimp Aguachile, and the combination was sublime. The sweetness of the orange and pomelo mixed with the spicy shrump was delicious. "Don't let the b******* bring you down. Stand for something, or you will fall for anything be a force for good-Sanctuary_2025" After all, food is what brings us together to celebrate those special moments in life. And these can be celebrated at this special restaurant.
