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.

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.

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.

This was my first time dining at Sanfords and it did not disappoint! Sat at the bar which was such a vibe and they were playing good music in the background. We had the prime skirt steak ciabatta sandwich, the pecan crusted organic chicken salad, and the banana caramel cheesecake xangos. Highly recommend their Sanford old fashion! Overall had an amazing experience and big shoutout to Ali, Bar Manager, who took great care of us. Will definitely be coming back and recommend this place to everyone...CHECK THEM OUT!

Sanfords is a classic. One of the few old-school eateries in Astoria that has been able to successfully grow and evolve with the times, without losing its soul. Always amazing food, great bar, attentive staff and gorgeous atmosphere. The owners will often greet customers and make sure everyone is enjoying their meal. You feel valued at this restaurant. Favorites here are the oysters, the truffled gnocchi and the burgers.

Really good food and service! I love the menu and want to go back to try more! The avocado spring rolls are delicious! I had the seared tuna salad and it was the perfect entree sized salad! The skirt steak was fantastic too. The cocktails are great - try the limeade with lavender.

Delicious food. Courteous staff. We had the tacos..fish and short rib. Very scrumptious, succulent and satisfying. Also the boozy brunch option is an amazing compliment to eating there!

We went there for a birthday celebration. We enjoyed our food, drinks, surprise cake and service however, despite the group being told to not rush out after paying, we were rudely kicked out telling us the waiters couldn't leave us til we did. What was the point of keeping them there and , couldn't the manger (I guess) be more polite and ask gently to leave? That ruined the great time we had. A shame.

The service was quick, and they catered well to our dietary requirements. The food was simple but delicious, and the friendly waiter made us feel right at home. A great spot for an enjoyable, hassle-free meal.

Heard they had some delicious filet mignon springs rolls here and had to give them a try and they were really good! The sauce they give on the side was great nice kick to it and I had the skirt steak sandwich very tender steak my buddy had a burger and it was good as well definitely a nice local spot to get some nice meat dishes

The decor and ambiance is very modern sheek and has a city feel. The food is very good and service varies depending on who the server is. Most of the time they are welcoming and friendly however.

It's a just plane neighborhood restaurant, so you can visit it anytime comfortably. The food is average, and the service is truly businesslike. But considering the price, I think I'll go back again.

Came here because my husband said the food was good. Sad it say it wasn’t. The drinks on the other hand was really really good. The cranberry salad tasted old. The chicken served with the salad tasted stale. It literally tasted like they cooked it in the morning and served it to us at 5pm when we had dinner. The fish tocos was unseasoned but fresh. I say just come here for the drinks and the oysters. That was the best part of the meal.

If I was rating solely the food here and not the service I’d give them 3.5 stars. Overall the food was decent, but they had amazing desserts. I’m deducting a star because two minutes after receiving our appetizers we were served our entrees! We each ordered French Onion soup and literally just took two spoonfuls and our waiter put the entrees on the table! By the time we finished our appetizers our entrees were cold! I never had my entree served when I just got my appetizer in my entire life! A word of advice don’t put your dinner order in until you finish eating your appetizer! For entrees my husband and sister ordered a burger and fries both were decent. I had their lobster ravioli, and it was TERRIBLE! The sauce was bland and the lobster in the ravioli tasted extremely fishy like old fish! The desserts however were all delicious! The fried cheesecake was FANTASTIC! The brownie and peanut butter pie was very good! Decent place overall, but not great with terrible service!

Unfortunately our fig pear salad had the produce sticker still on a pear slice. We were almost done with the salad before we noticed but we let our server know immediately. Our dessert was STRIKINGLY cold, almost frozen in the center. We asked the server if it was on purpose and he said it was supposed to be cold. Some aspects of the dishes didn't make sense, our apple tartine shouldn't have been served with a spoon, it was impractical to eat. The slices of pear were way too large in the salad, also impractical. I shouldn't have questions about that type of thing when eating out... It's unfortunate that the food actually was good, it's just a series of things that kept happening. Our server comped the dessert due to the produce sticker incident which I found odd. I feel like the salad should have been comped because that was the dish with the mishap. I understand desserts are cheaper and that's why what was done was done, it's just very telling on the restaurants part. It's Valentines Day and a busy evening, however it's a predictable high traffic time and they were clearly not prepared. Our server didn't check on us once, we had to flag him down each time.

Definitely do not get anything delivered as that was my experience and never ate the food inside dining. So please take this review as a complete opinion of my takeout order. Ok I ordered the pulled pork sandwich (award winning?!), sweet potato fries, and french onion soup. First the app will not track delivery person. So, figured I would call and kindly ask the driver to call prior to arrival in order to not inconvenience the delivery person. They seemed to be annoyed by my call although polite and said the driver will call when downstairs. Sure enough the drivers call was marked as spam and went straight to VM. Luckily I noticed within a minute or so and immediately called back and let him know I would be right down. He was nice but seemed annoyed as well. It quite possibly might have been the same person that took my call earlier. I immediately went upstairs to finally dig into my much needed food order. Well, the picture below was my first piece of garbage I removed from the delivery bag. For those that cannot see it is supposed to be a pulled pork sandwich. It was unfortunately a squashed and deflated bun on top with a soaked and soggy lower bun?! The middle filling was a hunk of average at best pulled pork and a heaping side of red tortilla chips. The French onion soup was missing so much. There wasn’t much complexity to it to be honest and it was once again average at best. The sweet potato fries unfortunately were wet and soggy. There isn’t much you can do to have bad tasting sweet potato fries. Taste wise they were fine. But there are ways to send fried foods without them dying too much. Or you can deconstruct the menu item to keep the food from dying in transit. Most people have the ability to revive the temperature if the food wasn’t hot but the crisp was still there and things weren’t soggy. So, overall I had a bad experience but this isn’t an in person dining experience. So please do not take my review too seriously.
