Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Sanford

This was our first time dining at Kres Chophouse. While costly it was well worth the price. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Environment was sleek and cozy. It’s a great option for a mid size group or an intimate night for two. Would definitely come back.

Took my in laws from out of town with my husband for a nice dinner out as a Christmas gift. Had great drinks and the carpaccio appetizer was delicious. I had the catch of the day which was the Sea Bass with roasted potatoes and broccolini. It was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. I was so happy that I ordered it. My husband had the pork chop, my mother in law the fettuccini with lobster and shrimp, and my father in law the stuffed raviolis with a side of meatballs (which I tried and will be ordering next time). All in all the food here was fantastic and has always been on our trips here in the past. The service was only ok. It was pretty busy so we didn’t see our server as much as we would have liked. I wanted to get another beverage but she never came by until dinner was cleared to ask about our dessert. Thought we would see her again since staff usually stops by during dinner to check on how your food is. Not a big deal but it was noticeable.

We came here on one of the busiest days of the year, checked in early, and went to the dock bar out back to wait for a table. The bar was busy but had enough seats for our large party. Service was friendly and quick. We enjoyed a round of drinks before our table was ready and we moved inside. We were sat at exactly our reservation time. Server was great, and attentive. Food and drinks were outstanding and the vibe of the restaurant was perfect. Definitely want to return in the future and will always recommend to friends.

This is IMO the best steak house in the Orlando area. From the food, to management to the excellent service from the wait staff (special shout out to Johnny) makes this a must for us on a weekly basis. Order the Japanese Milk Bread, the dry ages NY strip blackened/medium, the corn soufflé, broccolini and purveu w/extra cheese. Top it off with the brownie for desert and you are in for a treat. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough.

Best dining experience in a long time. Family run venue, arrived late from Canada, stayed open for us and we were the last booking. Exceptional food, service, value, and wine selection . They went above and beyond and even drove us home, but I can’t say that that is standard. Highly recommend , very memorable experience
