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.

Mediocre at best
By steelbeltfan on 08/19/2004
We thought the place was pretentious. The staff asked us how the meal was with every course with an attitude that said 'frankly we don't care what you think, we're the best in town'. Well they aren't. The sauce on the game that I had didn't suit the dish at all, it was dense and salty with no flavor. Otherwise the meal was forgetable.

Once again Sanfords far exceded our expectations.Sandy is the best chef of any restaurant that I have dined at... anywhere in the world! His supporting staff(in the front as well as the kitchen)make this the best dining experience.

The food and the service are outstanding. I have not been to a finer dining spot in Wisconsin in 10 years. If you are not ready to pay the price for fine dining, then you shouldn't go here. If quality is what you are looking for, then this is a must. Sanford offers the fienst quality food and the best service I have seen anywhere. Get your checkbook out and have a wonderful evening.

Sanford is outstanding. Food is top notch. Those who give 2 stars are thinking with their wallets not thier minds. Sorry.
