2 Bliss Bistro & Social

4.3 Superb 55 Reviews

300 East 2nd Street, Sanford

“Went on a Friday night. They had a DJ and Music was good. Had the fried calamari, fried salmon bites, fried eggs and lamb chops. The food was excellent except the eggs. Fried eggs were soft and filling was runny. The only bad thing was the service. There was pre-scheduled event and the staff seemed overwhelmed. The drinks took an extraordinary amount of time, and they didn’t know how to clear tables. There was a service fee on the bill and the service was horrible. Still tipped the waitress accordingly, this is life in Central Florida”

“If you love 5-star food in a wonderful atmosphere, this is THE place to go in Sanford! We visited for the first time on 3/13/26 and were surprised to find this level of cuisine at such an affordable price. Don’t think twice… drop in to see if a table is available or call to reserve a table in advance because you don’t want to miss out. We’ll definitely be back frequently and will let everyone know that this is the quality and style we want in Sanford. P.S. The staff was fabulous in every way too!”

“1/3/25…in town for one night, never been here, never heard of this place, just decided to try it. Stopped in around 5:00. The host asked if we had a reservation, we did not. She said “I’ll work you in” and seated us immediately at the bar. The bruschetta was the bomb! The fried chicken was totally out of this world! The service was outstanding! A must go to place!”
