For what it's worth, the service and ambiance were nice here. The food was just disappointing. The wife and I both had steaks (filet & NY strip). Both steaks were overcooked, the filet significantly overcooked. I found my steak to be under seasoned. The Bearnaise sauce was overly lemony and just not good. Of note, sides of asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and Mac n cheese were all good. The mashed potatoes had an odd lemon flavor to them as well. I hate saying it because I really enjoy local, but I feel like the Outback would have been a better option at about 40% of the price. Oh, one last thing, the salmon chowder wasn't bad. read more

We went to dinner on a Monday evening. Had half rotisserie chicken, and a mushroom burger with chicken curry soup. We also had an iced tea ans a cherry rickie. The food came quickly, was piping hot and very well seasoned. The chicken was tender and falling off the bone. The price is reasonable for two (honestly we ate at IHOP in the morning on the same day and the bill was identical). Highly recommend. read more

Very small portions, not a great value. Slow (but nice) service with about a half full restaurant. Wouldn't go back

My son took his date at Stanfords for prom yesterday. He ordered the filet medium rare. It came blue rare (I saw the pic). He sent the steak back. They brought it back rare. They did not have the time to send it back again, though he did bring it to the waiter's attention. His date's food was apparently mediocre at best. My son was unable to eat his. They did not even offer to make it right with a discount - maybe because he's a kid? He did bring it home, and yes, it was very poorly prepared and very rare. It is so sad to see that such a big night in a kid's life was marred by inept cooking and poor customer service. I will never go back and will always recommend that people avoid this place. Shameful. read more

Great food choices, great food & fabulous service! Very enjoyable, would definitely come again

I've been going to this Northgate restaurant for a few years, and they always have the nicest staff and excellent service. The food is consistently delicious, my favorite appetizer's the Brussels sprouts, I usually order rib eye or filet mignon and end with a crème brûlée. But their burgers, salads and pastas are pretty great too! The atmosphere is more adult oriented, I don't think I've seen many kids. read more

I tried Stanford's at Northgate via a Yelp perk. I bought an extra meal for my wife as well. Due to the pandemic, we ordered ahead and drove up to their clearly identified curbside pickup area to get our food. We never had to leave the car. I had the Cabernet Steak Tips meal which was beef tenderloin, mushroom demi glaze, parmesan garlic mashed potatoes, & seasonal vegetables (balsamic grilled brussel sprouts). I loved the Steak Tips. The demi glaze was rich and flavorful and I ended up putting it on my mashed potatoes since there was enough to spare and not to waste. Both my wife and I loved the brussel sprouts (why didn't our parents ever prepare them this way when we were kids? It could've been by favorite veggie dish. Instead of the common order of "eat your brussel sprouts", it would've been "may I please have more brussel sprouts?"). My salad was served in the same enclosed larger tray as the rest of the meal which made it warm by the time I got home and ate it. That should be in a separate area to keep it colder. My wife had the Pepper Bacon Mac N' Cheese which has Swiss, Fontina & Cheddar cheeses and served with some Texas type toast. Her meal was very flavorful but it could've been more saucy--like her! I am giving out 5 stars as this place had great curbside service, food presentation and quality and since they are sticking it out during the pandemic. Great job Stanford's and keep it up! read more

See all

Service was nice along with the atmosphere, ordered a 9oz filet with baked potato. The potato was the smallest & saddest looking potato I've seen & surprised it was ever allowed out of the kitchen. It was over cooked to a burnt yellow and lukewarm. Second potato was more of the same. This location needs some QC oversight of the food going out of the kitchen. read more

Food is great. Service is outstanding! Noise level just enough to be private yet festive.

We have dined at this Stanfords for the past year and really enjoy it. Depending on what you order, it can be expensive. But we don't dine out much, so it is worth it. Service is good, environment and seating comfortable. We have always been pleased with the quality of the food and serving sizes. Last night I ordered the catch of the day.(fish)..which changes of course. No price is listed on the menu due to the 'mvp'. So, I ordered the blackened black cod..which comes with asparagus and basmati rice. My meal arrives and no asparagus. I asked the server why and she said she would go back and 'check'. She came back and told me that asparagus did not come with that meal. So I paid an extra $10.00 for the asparagus side! I get home, knowing that my eyes did not deceive me on the menu. And sure enough on line, it shows that the 'catch of the day' or MVP comes with the side of veggies. If it is the case that with the MVP you only get a side of rice, then make it clear instead of listing the asparagus as included. I know that black cod is super expensive, but again, had it been made clear that it was the 'exception' in that you don't get a veggie side, I would have ordered something else. $47.00 for a small piece of black cod with a side of rice...extra charge for the asparagus at $10.00. No drink other than water....$57.00 + I did tip generously (not the fault of the server). I saved my receipt and will be contacting Stanfords' business office tomorrow. Ridiculous. read more

I love Stanfords in Northgate. We, 4of us, have a ladies lunch there every 4 months or so. We always have great service and the food is really good. The staff is always so helpful we have 2 elderly people in our party and the staff go out of their way to help them. The atmosphere is also nice, we like that it is not over loud. Thank you Stanfords for always making our day a special one. read more

Easy reservations, excellent service, great selection, and wonderful food perfectly prepared.

Overall really good experience. Food was exactly what I expected. Food came out at a very reasonable time. Appetizers, drinks, and main entree was good. I ordered a steak. It was seasoned well and sides were great. I will definitely be back here. Been to three different locations and all were comparable. read more

Good service, food was very good (not incredible). Cocktails a little slow coming but good when they came. Ambience was overall nice. Upscale but not elegant or any wow factor. I would come here again because for a steak house it's decently priced. read more

Great service and food. Craig was wonderful. Thank you!!!our group had a wonderful experience. read more

Love this restaurant! Always a great spot for lunch. Great lunch menu and excellent service.

The food was delicious. Staff was fast, friendly and efficient. They cheerfully accommodated our request for separate checks. We love Stanford's and will definitely be back! read more

The only complaint is the NY Steak had a lot of gristle/fat on it. The menu said it was trimmed.

My wife and I had been to Stanfords once, a few years ago. We found it to be a beautiful environment in which to eat wonderfully prepared food. We always said we would go back. Well, about 7 years passed before we chose to celebrate a birthday there last evening. We were a group of seven including two children. From the moment we were shown our table to leaving, it was a great experience. Our waiter- amazing and fun. Food- so well prepared and presented. Environment- Elegant and inviting. Everyone was in agreement it was a perfect evening. Thank you, Stanfords, for providing it. read more

Lovely clean and attractive space with good food. I cannot say enough about the attentive but not overwhelming service. Our server made great suggestions when asked and my family of 4 had a great meal that was of good value. read more

Stanfords @ Northgate is consistently fantastic! The moment you walk in the door with a sincere greeting...servers, bartenders, managers, you are made to feel welcomed! Excellent cocktails, fresh sheet menu selections, plate presentations A -1. Sincere customer service. Also appreciate the Stanfords Rewards program. Always a great time! read more

Food was FANTASTIC and the service was the BEST. We pick Stanford's because the one by south center is no longer there and the couple we were with suggested Stanfords as it's their favorite place, GREAT choice everything about it was the BEST...Life is Good and Thank you read more

Delicious! Just what I needed. I ordered the salmon meal and asked for no dressing (don't skip the dressing!) They said they normally have it on the side for take out. Oh it was fantastic. I enjoyed the brussel sprouts and potatoes as well. I think what I was really impressed with is the packaging and the bag was sealed when it was delivered. It felt like Covid protocols were taken very serious and because it was packaged so well my food stayed warm until I got home (20min) later. I'll definitely be back for in house dining and would recommend to go orders read more

Good food, great ambiance - service was a bit slow, restaurant appeared a bit understaffed, though we were there in the middle of the afternoon, so possibly not an issue during peak mealtimes. I had the streak tips and they were very tender and delicious! read more

Try to here for the first time today and order the chicken linguine. Service is super friendly and fast, when I brought home the food tasted good as it was hot and fresh. The salad was pretty good it had more things in it than I expected I had to eat cheese lettuce tomatoes and bacon which went really well, and they gave a lot of sauce which is a plus. The chicken linguine on the other hand was pretty good, I wish that there was more chicken but other than that it was good lots of flavor! The portion size was good at first I thought it was pretty small but after eating through it I got pretty full fast. The chocolate cookie was delicious. The only thing that I'm disappointed in is that they forgot the breadstick with the order. read more

The blackened salmon was delicious!! Sarah, our server was beyond great! I brought my two out of town cousins there, and they loved their dishes. read more

This was my second time to Stanford's and both times did not disappoint. I brought my entire family for my birthday dinner and we all thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Our server was so attentive and had the best personality. Our ages ranged from 1 to 91 and he was so perfect with everyone. Dishes ranged from pasta and sandwiches to fish and steaks. All were phenomenal. Get the Brussel Sprouts!! They were the best I've ever had. Drinks were so tasty and dessert delish! Can't wait to go back. My only complaint is that no one ever answers the phone. I've called no less than 20 times at various times of the day on various days and no one has ever answered. I had to fill out the form on the website to get our reservation because Open Table wouldn't book a party as large as ours. That is a minor inconvenience, though, for a wonderful dining experience. read more

Salmon chowder, NO salmon to be found! Also, with their crab artichoke sandwich & appetizerNO crab or artichoke to be found at all! They cover it with a ton of cheese to hide this fact! I understand cutting costs, but this ridiculous! read more

This is more like a 3.5 for me.. I was hoping to come here to enjoy a later lunch with my boss and although some of the dishes I got was very delicious, others were quite underwhelming. I didn't experience much with the waitress for my table. It was a very quick jot down your order and go. It got pretty hard to flag her down at times even though the restaurant (in my opinion) seemed pretty slow. The stuffed mushrooms and the surf and turf was very very nice. My lobster tasted fresh and sweet. The mushrooms was a very nice little dish to start out with. I actually asked this waitress if I could make an order to go, but I ended up getting a side of mushrooms instead of what I originally asked for.. the stuffed mushrooms. And this side of mushrooms was quite sub-par, lacking in flavor. I probably would have been somewhat content with the mushrooms if it wasn't for the fact that they honestly just weren't very good. I brought home some ribs for my boyfriend and they weren't the best just heated up with my microwave but I don't put that blame on the chefs. The taste was just a bit overwhelming, I felt like I could have enjoyed the actual flavor of the actual RIBS a little more. Overall I wouldn't go out of my way to drive here and dine but if I was in the area then it would be my favorite spot here. read more

The food was wonderful. The service was great. I enjoyed the ambiance very much. We meet at Stanfords to visit family from south of Seattle. The location is perfect. We enjoyed our family as well as the meal. I am gluten and dairy intolerant. The staff was helpful in choosing an appropriate meal for me which was delicious. Several us were elderly. When I made the reservation I made several requests. The accommodations were perfect. We have been meeting there for several years. We shall continue. read more

Enjoyed a lunch with our daughter and received excellent service from Tiffany. Our first visit and appreciated the numerous menu options to suit myriad tastes. The prices are fair for portion size and food level. The Prime Steak Dip is very good and the salads very tasty. Nice outdoor area but we chose to dine inside which has very nice decor and comfortable seating. Will definitely be back. read more

Stanford's at Northgate is our favorite restaurant. We go at least once a week and have never had a bad meal or poor service. We had Stanford's feast (picked up) on Thanksgiving and tonight our family holiday dinner. Calimari, steaks, prime rib dips and mac n cheese. Everything was delicious. read more

Awesome service. 5 star Bartenders need some training. Very poor drink quality. Manhattans and Old Fashioneds tasted worse then a free casino drink. And no Absenthia for Sauzeracs. Super sad. The kitchen and food. Friggin awesome. Staff Friggin awesome!!! Stanfords is a great place to go for high quality and tasting food. Must fix the bar! read more

The food is always on point, I had the southwest salad perfect balance of dressing wonderful taste in every bite!
