“It's safe to say the Imperial at Washburn is one of the best bars in downtown Sanford. The vibe is quirky and eclectic, yet comfortable with purchasable antique furniture filling most of the space. You can expect consistent service here as the bartenders are always efficient and still manage to whip up cocktails pretty quickly even when the place is packed. My favorite thing about Washburn is that the cocktails are just like the decor/furniture that's for sale on the inside, ever changing and unique. The menu seems to change pretty regularly, but I can honestly say I've never been disappointed by any drink here! On my most recent visit I tried the Gin Grapefruit Cosmo and the 2020 Daiquiri and both cocktails were exceptional. Whether you're looking for a classic cocktail or a new spin on a traditional one, the Imperial at Washburn in Sanford will keep you coming back for more!“
“Ellen's is a gem in Sanford for lovers of wine (and music and special dinners on certain nights). Intimate, beautiful interior surrounded by walls of unique wines. Seating on comfy couches, wine bar or patio. Lots of wines by the glass, and the bottle prices are so good you should just get bottles (including bottles To Go). Some nice beers for beer lovers. Frequent Events on the website, like special dinners and wine tastings. Great live music Fri and Sat nights with Chuck and his guitar. Tom, Ellen, Chuck and lots of regular customers and friends make you feel welcome. We travel a lot and Sanford is lucky to have such a unique place as Ellen's. Highly Recommend, and we will be there whenever we're in town.“
“Wow! My wife and I have been past this restaurant for years and never thought to come in as we actually thought that they were closed. We realized that we have been making a big mistake and we are already figuring out when to return. Everything that we ordered was phenomenal (Bruschetta, Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina, Carne Trio, and Cannoli.)“
“Was there for lunch, had pesto chicken flatbread and potato leek soup - both were delicious. Also had Belgian chocolate s'more dessert cup; love the size of the dessert cups here- just enough to hit a sweet tooth craving without being too much food!“
“My husband and I were starving after picking up some items from usps. This is not our normal everyday area so we were googling resturaunts for a bit until I thought of Italian. We had our 2 year old with us and we felt as though we would be under dressed for how nice this place was on the inside so we sat outside. I have to say, they made us feel so welcomed. Robert was super attentive and so sweet. The host came over and talked to us and our 2 year old. It just made the experience so nice for us as its usually hard to go out with our kiddo. Food came out and we were blown away by everything. So happy we stopped by. We are adding it to our revisit list and places to bring family from out of town! Thank you!“
“Looking for dinner tonight, if you looking for great Thai this is the place. Jan was our waitress, she was polite and friendly took care of all our food requests and the food was the best. If you're looking for Thai be sure to ask for Jan when you arrive. The other waiting staff was terrific but we especially liked her.“
“Great cigar shop in Longwood. My first time coming here and the staff (John) was amazing and asked what cigars I like and he showed me an amazing full body house blend that is absolutely delicious. I recommend cigar lovers like myself to come here and enjoy because I'll definitely be coming back myself.“
“Forget total wine, or the acronyms and come over to this wine and cigar OUTFITTER of exotics, sneak inside Pandora’s box of mind’s eye candy - a lucid dream of flavors and ambiance; the most fun with your clothes on… I’m closing deals thanks to their recommendations.“
“A little tardy in my review, but if I could I would give Cork & Olive 10 stars.The service was unbelievable.The food was fantastic. We had steak, pasta, chicken picatta, diablo something or other and let's not forget Mama's meatballs.The owner and his wife went out of thier way to make our time resemble the Italian family dinners I had growing up with our neighbors. Just with fine service and a bit more style.The gang doesn't get together as often as we like or should, so thank you for making this one of our most memorable.“
“Had an outstanding lunch here! Arrived around 11am and sat at the bar. My server, Travis, was very attentive and conversational, and I got my drink and food quite quickly! I ordered the chicken salad croissant with french onion soup as my side, and it was all very satisfying. The croissant was extremely buttery and soft, and the chicken salad was loaded with chunky chicken and tasted great! The French onion soup was textbook! Flavorful broth, very soft, thinly sliced onion, nice baguette and a nicely broiled cheesy top!Edit: Came back the next day for brunch and had a delicious plate of eggs Benedict w/ a side of breakfast potatoes. Would have been nice if the benny came with a side instead of having to pay 5 extra bucks for home fries, but at least they were excellent! Also, I think the benny could be improved with the more traditional Canadian bacon, but it’s obviously still good with regular bacon as well.“
“Just ate here for the first time tonight with my parents. Impeccable service. Quality food. Very nice ambiance. Loved it! We order chicken Marsala, New York strip, the grouper, scallop appetizer, Caesar salad, bruschetta and deserts. We also had the for old fashioned, a mojito and the pear martini.“
“Looking for a new place to try? Be forewarned, this could become your new go-to place! My New Years Resolution is to write google reviews of places my husband and I frequent; just to let folks know where your time and money is best spent.So we’ve been going to SPILL for over a year: The menu is such a step above ‘bar food’; we’re talking flatbreads that you can actually taste all the yummy toppings and the flatbread itself is delicious, not cardboard. And speaking of flatbreads, make sure you try the s’mores flatbread dessert! Yes, you read that right- A FLATBREAD S’MORES! To die for! The ambiance is one where you can sit comfortably inside or out, talk at a level where the music is background noise not IN YOUR FACE obnoxious noise. And the wine! So many to choose from! The staff and service is great. Just a relaxing, fun place you can meet with friends/family any time! And we’ve discovered during these visits they have theme nights; trivia, bingo etc!“
“This food here was very good., however, the service was lacking. We specifically ordered the fried calamari before anything else. After we received our drinks, we ordered a Caesar salad and then our entrees: eggplant parmigiana and the special creamy Marsala with veal. The first thing that was brought out was the salad. When the calamari was brought out, we asked the server why it didn't come out. Edited the salad and we were told that it had to be breaded and fried and takes longer than the salad. That is why we ordered the calamari first. We were receiving food before we were finished with the previous corse. It felt rushed. The place was not crowded. We like to have a leisurely dinner. I am not sure that this was the fault of the waiter in how he put the order in or the fault of the kitchen. The food was good though. If we were to go back, we need to make our intentions very clear.“
“Decided to pick up some food on Sunday, I got there just before 12pm so had to wait for them to open. The waitress took my phone order but she didn't know the Garlic rolls wasn't ready, I was disappointed because that was the main reason I went there. Lasagna: Was really good, the portion was smaller than I expected considering I ordered the dinner portion. Carrot Cake: This was phenomenal!! So flavorful, soft and moist, with raisins I love it!! I will go back to try some of their other dishes...and the garlic rolls hopefully:)“
“Our host was Manager David Thai who checked on our meals several times. We were a party of six with "diverse" food interests, and we were very happy with the way everything was prepared and served: hot things were hot, and cold items were cold. We especially like the new bread served with meals. It is more chewy and flavorful. The bread pudding dessert was remarkable for its texture and flavor. Yummy! Thanks again, David!“
“Our server was very friendly. The baked brie was amazing. FYI: food menu is minimal. We enjoyed a flight: cabernet sauvignon (tastes a little like cab franc; really liked it), grenache and Easy Tiger (Not a fan of either; to light/ bland). Also had, Mirror Mirror (very good table white) and Sparkling white (nice).Great atmosphere; quiet and laid back. Good prices too!“
