I’ve been going to Sanford‘s for over 20 years and I’ve never had a disappointing meal there. Tonight was no exception. My husband and I shared an order of the mussels, he had a bistro burger and I had the hanger steak with bernaise sauce and cream spinach on the side. This steak was better than most of the steak I’ve had in steakhouses. I go to sanford’s very often to meet people for lunch and for weekend brunches too. The food is always great- very fresh and well-prepared. The waitstaff is also super nice and professional. You really can’t go wrong going here.
Sanfords is the perfect spot for anyone looking for a meal where the quality of the ingredients and the high standard of service are paramount. Highly, highly recommended!
Excellent omelettes! Cozy brunch spot; would highly recommend!
Sanford’s in Astoria is one of those spots that hasn’t changed over the years—and that’s part of its charm. The atmosphere is still cozy, the service friendly, and the food consistently delicious. We had the tuna wrap, tacos, blueberry pancakes, chicken wrap, and avocado rolls. Everything was great—especially the wraps and pancakes, which were packed with flavor and super satisfying. The avocado rolls were just okay, but still a decent start to the meal. If you’re looking for a reliable brunch spot with a solid menu and welcoming vibe, Sanford’s is still one of Astoria’s go-tos.
This restaurant usually does a good job. I live near by so I've had food from here no less than 30 times in person and pickup order. It is amazing that the food is listed as explicitly organic! My one complaint if I were forced to give it would be that there is not the ability to pay for your food at the front of the restaurant, the hostess has to take your card walk all the way to the back and then bring it to you. A portable payment system or even one up front will be far more efficient as you can end up waiting long depending on the time of the pick up. Still I love this place.
It was the second time my wife and I been to Sanfords just like the first time the experience was excellent !! great Food and great service and staff always attentive and vey friendly. chef Alfonso was nice enough to make a special dessert display for my wife and I for Valentines!! Will definitely comeback many more times. Thank you
Had a great experience. The mood, the setting, the lighting is perfect! The food was above and beyond our expectations! The menu has a great variety for all tastes and the price is decent for the portions which are not small . No wait time and the servers were all amazing ! Went with a family group of 6 and a baby . Great for couples or just with friends ..
Wish I could give more than 5 stars. This place is a bourbon lovers dream! The owner Chris what very hospitable and offered many suggestions based on my preferences, and he nailed each one! Sanford's offered 100s, if not more, different bottles. This is a must stop for bourbon and whiskey lovers, cannot wait visit again next time I'm in NYC.
Omg the lobster ravioli is so bomb. Midway through the meal I lowkey started to get sick of the cream. The blackberry cheesecake was okay like a 6/10 because the jam tasted medicinal. We just ate the cheesecake part it was so light.
First thing I noticed when I entered was the decor and vibe. Very cozy but upscale at the same time. The waiters were really on point and super attentive. We started with the Risotto Ball which was scrumptious. It wasn’t dry inside and the mushroom gave it a nice meaty texture. I then had the Sesame crusted Yellowtail Tuna. I absolutely loved it. It comes in top of a bed of Jasmin rice and some vegetables. Truly packs a great amount of flavor.
