Sanford Review

Nationally acclaimed chef Sanford D'Amato serves contemporary American cuisine in this restaurant, which occupies a remodeled grocery store on Milwaukee's east side. Popular dishes include seared sea scallop and lobster with almond cream and paprika brown butter, slow-cooked pinn-oak lamb, and sweetbread schnitznel with pea cream and lemon curd. For something different, try the seven-course surprise menu or four-course seasonal menu. Long banquettes make things cozy.

    This is a wonderful dining experience - food, service, atmosphere. James Beard award winner Sandy D'amato is tops in the city (google him). The restaurant is housed in his family's old grocery store near the heart of the city.
