Local media consistently name Sanford one of the best restaurants in Wisconsin, and it has been on Gourmet magazine's list of the top 50 restaurants several times. Four-course menus that change daily are famously inventive, but not unapproachable or pretentious. Spring may bring a chicken and pea dumpling in curry broth. In cool weather, you may be treated to roast duck with pomegranate glaze. Chef/owner Sanford "Sandy" D'Amato's genius is to take the familiar and make just a slight change or addition. The man makes his own pickles, smokes his own fish and turns horseradish mayonnaise into mousseline – you get the idea of the care that goes into the food. Full bar. Serving dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun. Voted Best Restaurant when Somebody Else Buys in the 2008 Shepherd-Express readers poll.
