“ Brad and staff did a phenomenal job with our wedding reception. All of our guests highly complimented the food and service. The reserved area is spacious, yet intimate and the service was unbelievable. Thank you all so much for the most fabulous, memorable reception! ”
“ Stopped in with my daughter last night for a late dinner and we couldn’t have been more impressed. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was cozy, and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. Our servers name was Paige and she did a great job! I’d recommend the Sea Bass Entree and asking for Paige while you’re there!!! ”
“ We held a private party here and had a very positive experience. Owner Brad and his staff went the extra mile to serve our needs. We were using his newly-constructed private party room. It was somewhat plain in decor, which he had told us in advance, and I had to create my own ambiance, which was a bit difficult because I was not in the same city. However, the staff were most kind and helpful as I put up decor, letting me into the facility when it was closed. The food was excellent. There were a couple of items on our buffet which were too salty, but otherwise the Eatery measured up to the superb cuisine we had sampled beforehand. I would definitely recommend holding a private event at The Eatery, and would also recommend dining there at any time, as the menu is delicious and the staff is top-notch. ”

“ Food and service are both absolutely first rate. Everything was delicious and presentation was spot on.I would think most of the time atmosphere would also be 5 star however the night we were there Sanford was having a golfing pub crawl that included the place next door. Not awful at all but was a distraction. ”
“ Hands down THE best restaurant of this type of food any place around. Outstanding, consistent quality. All served in a timely manner. No wonder it’s packed and turning people away. A true gem!!! ”
“ We had a fantastic dinner at The District in Sanford! I had the pork chop, and it was perfectly cooked to a beautiful medium— tender, juicy, and full of flavor. My wife had the rock shrimp and loved every bite. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was super attentive and friendly, really added to the great experience. Brad the owner came out to see how everything was tasting, which really gave our experience a personal touch. The atmosphere was relaxed but upscale, and the service was top-notch. We’ll definitely be back — highly recommend! ”
