I've eaten here a few times and the food is very good. The wait staff are friendly and the atmosphere is nice. There is plenty of parking, but a little hard to find the first time.

This place is amazing! Is a nice treat. Went for my families birthday. What made this place stand out was the exceptional service. Specifically from Kerri. Everything we ordered was incredible. Will definitely be going back again for special occasions.

I think tis is a nice spot for a family dinner noting to write home about but eventing is pretty good. I love the ambiance the customer service is what will make return, they hire quality servers that care about the service they are providing you. The food was good I think it lacked a specific flavor that made anything exceptional. I think the drinks are delicious. They pour perfect and it jsutifies the cost so drink responsibly lol. I love the fireplace sitting in the middle of the room that really adds to the vibes. You definitely want to make a reservation for this spot, they will fit you in if they can but they also are often booked. Parking is plenty no worry about having to look for a spot or walk a ways.

My friend came in town for work and we wanted to experience something like fine dining without breaking the bank so we opted to try Stanford Grill for the first time because of their great reviews. I made a reservation with this location for March 21 2024 at 7:15pm through opentable via the google maps app. Our experience starts when we arrived prior to 7:15 and were quickly seated.When we arrived in the afternoon, the atmosphere was very beautiful, all of the booths are large, the fireplace was going, the lights were dimly lit, and live music was playing.A gentleman came to our table and explained that he can take our orders for drinks but Abby would be our waitress. We hadn’t had time to look over the menu as we just sat down a moment ago, he asked if we would like water or if he should come back. I said I’ll take a water for now& and he abruptly left without letting my friend make their own decision. We got 2 waters and when he came back my friend ordered an alcoholic beverage. The gentleman wrote it down on a note and a few minutes later Abby came to kindly introduced herself, and ask about dietary restrictions and allergies. Abby then took our order for appetizers. Some time passed and upon bringing our appetizers Abby was about to leave and I inquired about my friends beverage, Abby acknowledged the other gentleman put in the order but no one filled it yet. The beverage came and we placed our order for entrees.When I ordered my entrees and sides Abby asked if I knew the entrees didn’t come with sides which kind of insulted my intelligence but I understand she didn’t want any disputes with the final bill. When our meals arrived everything looked amazing and tasted amazing. My friend ordered their steak well done but it was actually very rare inside. They still enjoyed it and it was tasty but we didn’t want to make too much commotion as we are people of color and appear not to be the typical crowd here.For context, this was the first time I’d seen my friend in over a year and they had a recent career change and I just got back from a deployment overseas. Of course we had a lot to talk about and catch up on. Around this restaurant everyone was talking, loudly at that. There was 2 parties (groups of 4+ people) across from our booth, and they were there and already had food before my friend and I arrived.Abby came to our table numerous times and asked if we wanted to have our food boxed up, typically the waitress/waiter occasionally check on the table to see if everything is okay, ask if they want dessert, or ask if they are ready for the check, we were never asked if we wanted dessert or anything else to drink. Abby made us feel like we were being rushed to leave. I don’t know if Abby calculated what she thought we would tip, and figured we were no longer worth her time or what. She definitely made us uncomfortable.The experience was beautiful and amazing besides the impatience of the staff. Despite our waitress wanting to rush us out of the restaurant we decided to leave what was between a %15-18 tip although we would have loved to tip more.I recommend the rattlesnake pasta, steak, green beans, mashed potatoes, and fiesta eggrolls.

Visited Stanford Grill last night to celebrate my husband's birthday! The food and service was just as good as last time! We started off with the Calamari, which came out so fast! Very crunchy and loved the sauce. I got the Chicken Pot Pie again, delish. My husband tried the Chicken Parmesan this time and he cleaned his plate, he loved it. For dessert, we had the Key Lime Pie again, and they brought it out with a candle for my husband. Had another great dinner and can't wait to be back soon!

Outstanding service and food. It is well worth it! Atmosphere is conducive to any dining situation. It has a loyal customer base as noted by the regulars who dine regularly with them. Spinach and artichoke dip is a great starter! Excellent prime rib and a homemade chicken pot pie that is EXCELLENT. Be sure to inquire about the daily specials.

Highly recommended, food was delicious and the environment was nice. They have live music occasionally, which was also a plus.All the dishes were very well-made for our group. We had their steak, rattlesnake paste, cornbread, tuna salad, scallop appetizer, which were all fantastic. Also special shoutout to the ribs, which was everyone favorite for the night.
