Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Sanford

Our favorite date night restaurant! We brought friends from out of town for a late dinner and we were beyond thrilled. We never felt rushed to leave and enjoyed how knowledgeable our server was on all the menu items. The fried green tomatoes are always amazing and the pork chop was literal perfection!

Food: Amazing. Love, love , love the queso. Ordered the steak tacos platter with the flour tortillas. So great!! Always yummy. Drinks were made well and the mixed properly. Not watered down. Service: Our server Noeli ( Sorry, unsure of how to spell her name,) was absolutely AMAZING. It was Valentine’s Day weekend but we did not feel like it was at all. She was extremely communicative and very prompt. We have not experienced service this great in quite some time! Absolutely phenomenal. She deserves to be a manager and train new servers in how to execute amazing service regardless of a busy environment. Ambiance: Valentine’s Day weekend. Very busy. There was a bit of a wait even with reservations but it was lovely. There was a DJ on site and it was a great vibe.

As we are from the St. Louis area, we frequently dine in an Italian community known as “The Hill”. Our experience here was every bit as genuine, delicious, and enjoyable as we could have expected. The specials of the night were excellent and the tiramisu was delightful. Our compliments to the chef, wait staff and family! We WILL return.

Aside from the food, it was the service that was memorable. The server for me and my fiancee was Cynthia. She was absolutely amazing! Despite being run ragged by the full house that night it did not stop her from being warm and gracious. She accommodated my fiancee who has allergies and even selected her drink to try. As younger people just starting out our careers, she made us feel welcomed in such a swanky environment lol. I'm sure the rest of the staff is just good but Cynthia was another level.

We had a great experience and the food was exceptional. A highlight for us what the gaucha named Lady who was so kind to us and made us feel so welcome. Most of the gauchos are polite but Lady was above and beyond. She was so thoughtful and made us feel like a friend was coming by to serve us every time she brought the picahna to us. She’s awesome!
