Sanford Restaurant

We did the surprise tasting menu and it was excellent. The dishes were unique and full of flavor. The proteins were cooked to perfection. The scallop was awesome it melted in your mouth and the braised pistachios it came with were really interesting. I thought the portions were great and myself and the other guests in my party were very full at the end of dinner. Beverage pairing was really nice too. Service was excellent.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while...it finally happened! We celebrated our Anniversary last month and Sanford did not disappoint. We had an earlier reservation on a Tuesday. We each did the 7 course surprise tasting menu with the wine add on... everything was perfectly presented and prepared. The pairings went together nicely and the presentation made you want to savor each bite. The experience easily took 3 hours... we had the best of the best serving us. Great conversation, funny and very knowledgeable about what was being presented to us. Corrie Lynn really did a great job. We ended up staying until the close and Corrie Lynn and Carrie were so fantastic. I also got to meet some of the people in the kitchen that prepared our beautiful dishes. I am thrilled that I got to finally try this place and will definitely return!

We had a lovely time celebrating our anniversary at Sanford. We enjoy the 7 course tasting menu shh... It's a surprise!. Our waitstaff did a fantastic job explaining what the food was, how it was prepped, and where it came from, which made the experience that much more interesting. Since there are seven courses, portion sizes are pretty small, but there was plenty of food and we definitely left full. We will be back! Dietary restrictions: The staff was willing to accommodate dietary restrictions assuming you identify them in advance. I was able to have a no beef option and my husband wanted no broccoli/cauliflower.

The staff at Sanford provided one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. From the warm welcome by the valet to the chocolates at the end of the meal, everything was fabulous! Four of us went to dinner and we all ordered differently so we could try different dishes. Needless to say, we were all happy with our decisions and only shared a little because it was all so good. I can't imagine anything on the menu is less than stellar... even the dishes I tried that I would have passed on because of an ingredient... were delicious! If you can, make it a point to visit Sanford, it'll be an experience you'll never forget.

Dining at Sanford is truly a memorable experience. The staff makes provides individualized attention making you feel like the only table at the restaurant. The food is exceptionally crafter by an award winning chef and beautifully presented. Try the Scallops and wine pairing with your meal!Food: 5/5

Small, intimate restaurant that is focused on quality service and an exquisite tasting menu. We did the 4 course menu because we could choose each course rather than the surprise 7 course tasting menu. It's expensive but totally worth the money to experience the unique blends of seasonal food.Food: 5/5

Amazing food. Probably one of the best restaurants in Milwaukee. You don't need to drive down to Chicago to experience a high end restaurant. Sanford is definitely worth visiting at least once! I don't have the same palate as my husband, who definitely got more out of the experience than I did. I still appreciate finer foods & would recommend to those who do too!

Wow! First time dining here and it was perfect for my sweethearts birthday dinner. The service was exceptional, the food was amazing and the specialty drinks unique and delicious. They do have a larger selection of wine and drinks. I highly recommend this experience. Be willing and able to pay for that experience. It's worth every dollar and I can't wait to go again.

This was so worth it! When you book at restaurants like these, it's often a question of whether it will live up to the hype. I can assure you, Sanford went above and beyond. From the service shout out, Ralph!! to the food, to the exceptional wine pairings that Ralph created for us, it was a lovely experience. Know that it's expensive. But you get more than a good dinner - it's an entire experience, curated by the excellent staff at Sanford. We had some of the best dishes even ordered seconds of several any of us had ever had. This is most certainly a special-occasion/celebratory kind of place, but also just a great place if you're feeling splurgy for some fantastic food. Presentation was top-notch, also. If I'm ever in town again, this will be on my list.

Unbelievable experience. Met the chef on accident walking in from the grocery store from buying bananas. Just was great. The back story to the whole place and even the new chef from the old chef. I felt fine dinned and pampered. I came in from work. They made me feel right at home. Definitely a fancy place, no matter what your dressed in they will treat you like royalty. One of my favorite dining experiences to date. Wish my date wasn’t home in daytona. A must try but know it’s 4 courses and $100 a person. Minimum before you walk in the door. Worth it.
