Surrounded by memories of zesty meals shared by hard-working Italian families, Sanford incorporates the best of Mediterranean with a bit of French flair and a dash of contemporary American elegance. The simple grace of the dining room provides a relaxing atmosphere, where diners can focus on enjoying themselves. The waitstaff expertly guides diners through selections of four, five or more courses -- the kitchen will even tailor a seven-course meal just for you. Classics such as grilled marinated tuna with cumin wafers are complemented by more exotic fare, including glazed squab and spiced peach couscous. Lighter possibilities include sauteed morels and chanterelles with a melange of vegetables, or the gazpacho with tomato relish and lime cream. Many daily specials, decadent desserts and an extensive wine list are also offered. The kitchen is very accommodating to vegetarians and those with special dietary restrictions. Sanford is definitely one of Milwaukee's finer special occasion places, perfect for a romantic night with a loved one or a great place to impress a date.

Well ,if this is what the best chef in the state puts out,i will eat at home. Pricey,long wait,small portions,are just some of the draw -backs. Cant beleive they get much return business. Oh ,the food is just o.k.

I can't comment on the food because I wasn't even able to get a reservation. While trying to make a reservation for the Valentine's Day weekend, the host told me I should have called "a month to the day in advance", put me on hold, and after 10 minutes of waiting, I hung up. I made a reservation at Eddie Martini's instead.
