Sanford Restaurant

Well, yesterday was the 1st birthday of Dan's new knees...so we had to do something to celebrate!  As luck would have it, we, or should I say, Dan made a reservation for dinner at  SanfordRestaurant.com.  What a delight, as always.  We started with an amuse bouch of asparagus puree with goat cheese and crispy pancetta.

For our appetizers, of course, Dan had to have the foie gras, and as usual, they granted his request of omitting the squab and gave him a double order of foie gras which was paired with a tart rhubarb chutney.  I, on the other hand, opted for the asparagus soup with creme fraiche and grilled artichokes.  Good thing there were no mushrooms in that!

For dinner, Dan had the extremely tasty beef tenderoin with yukon puree...and the truffle vinaigrette was beyond words.  My cocoa glazed lamb ribs with mini lamb mole tacos...out of this world!!!  I could have made a meal on just the tacos with the tomatillo relish.  Chef Justin is someone I hope remains at Sanford for a very long time.  His seasoning and presentation of these tacos could stand up to Rick Bayless anytime!  I, for one, hope Justin remains at Sanford for a very long time!

Thank you to ALL the staff at this fantastic restaurant!

I just hope you have the Bolognese Ravioli next time we dine.
