What an absolutely fantastic, surprising find in the heart of downtown old historic Sanford. " Make…read more2nd your 1st choice," is the perfect slogan! In town on a work trip, my husband, and I decided to try this place out! What a wonderful surprise! From the moment you walked in the eclectic, industrial, modernized, warm, cozy feel welcomes you in. Our server was friendly and attentive, and we knew right away that this place was a find! A wonderful happy hour menu, led us to a full menu of what felt like a farm to table experience. I sadly didn't get to snap a photo of the excellent appetizer buratta, but it was a perfect blend of balsamic tomato and creamy cheese! I am a true foodie, and this was hands-down the best burger I've ever eaten. My husband absolutely loved his shrimp and grits, perfectly cooked and well balanced flavor. Well, I know everyone recommends the chocolate cake, I can't rave enough about the crème brûlée. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to enjoy a " private chef experience" meal! You will be glad you did!

I would come back just for this. - My wife's biscuit was of good quality, and was delish with butter and jam. I ordered the Russet & Sweet Potato Hash and topped it with two sunny-side up eggs for a wonderfully satisfying breakfast. My Anson Mill Grits were topped with candied pecans, sorghum, scallions and radish, additions which were not only gorgeous but also elevated the flavor and texture of the dish significantly. It's details like this that separate a true chef from a mere diner cook. - Can't think of a better way to have started my day.

Some of the restaurants that it opened with have left which is sad, but the ones that remain are solid offerings. I really enjoy the bar at the far end with their outdoor seating. Great option if you're meeting friends for dinner with and are having a hard time deciding on what to eat. Service at the bar is good but sort of non existent for the rest of the hall. A bit disappointing as we had to clean our own table before we could sit down. Regardless it's a great edition to Sanford's already solid food scene.

Picked up dinner from Christo's on a Saturday night, and everything we ordered was a hit…read more We went with a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza, pepperoni bread, and lemon pepper wings. The pizza was definitely the star of the meal. It had a crispy bottom with a light, fluffy crust, giving it a really nice texture from the first bite to the last. One thing that stood out was the sprinkle of Parmesan cheese over the top. It's a simple touch, but it added another layer of flavor that made the pizza stand out from your typical pepperoni pizza. This was my first time trying the pepperoni bread, and it didn't disappoint. It had plenty of filling, great flavor, and paired really well with the pizza. It's something I'd order again without hesitation. The lemon pepper wings were another favorite. They had a crispy outside, were seasoned well, and the lemon pepper flavor came through without being overpowering. Overall, we were really happy with everything we ordered. The pizza, pepperoni bread, and wings all lived up to expectations. Next time, I'll probably branch out and try a few more items from the menu.

It paired nicely with the bottomless mimosas and sangrias. Their restaurant is beautiful and has many photo worthy spots. They also have a bar towards the back of the restaurant and patio seedings as well.
