My best friend and I visited Restaurant506 after getting massages at the spa. I will admit I had never heard of Sanford House and so had no expectations going in, but left feeling like I had discovered a hidden gem! The food at the restaurant was fantastic. It was so hard to even choose what to get from the menu because everything sounded so good. I ended up getting the daily special, which was seared salmon over a parmesan risotto. My friend got the crab cakes benedict. Both were amazing! I also loved the bread they brought us to snack on before our meals arrived. Afterward, we ordered the creme brulee and cranberry pecan bread pudding. Bread pudding is usually hit or miss, but this one was definitely a hit! It was moist and flavorful with lots of pecans and cranberries inside. Our server, Jacob, was welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable. We truly felt pampered and catered to. I can't wait to come back!

I was honestly surprised by how fantastic the food was. The whole menu was so tempting it was hard to choose, but we ordered the crab cake Benedict and the salmon and risotto special and loved them both. The bread pudding is to die for. Our server Jacob was outstanding. Will be back!

We loved our brunch at 506! Our server, Najeeb, was excellent- he checked in a brought out a dessert for my birthday. The food was outstanding and we will definitely be back when we are ever in the Arlington area.

We had a wonderful dinner! The food was incredible! The service was best in class! Our party of four ordered steak, seafood and chicken. The sides were excellent along with the cocktails. Try the octopus. It's fantastic. We highly recommend and look forward to visiting again!

Number one spot for taking our out of state guests for lunch. Great ambience, food is amazing, and usually the service is great as well. Unfortunately, our server Breanna M was either new (which I hope), or she had zero idea what she was doing.

The Sanford House Restaurant 506 may be the best fine dining restaurant in Arlington. I'm not sure how more people are not talking about it. The inside dining is as if sitting in a home for a meal, so at times it can be awkwardly quiet or a bit clamorous if more people are in the room. However, the food is 10/10. We choose both special entrees, the lamb and the sea bass, and neither disappointed. The outdoor area was being set for a special event, but look inviting and elegant. We would have set porch side, however my allergies forbid it. We will definitely be going back for special dinner nights!

We were in town for an event at the AT&T center. We chose Restaurant 506 based on the ratings. It did not disappoint! We eat from the brunch menu. Most items were $18 & up. People were dressed in a variety of ways, from casual to what I would consider church clothes. Service was excellent, and so were are dishes, I had the traditional eggs benedict and my friend had the avocado toast (with eggs, fruit, bacon) We are already thinking about coming back next year as we attend the same event annually. In addition, the grounds are beautiful!

This is such a cute little brunch spot! We went for my friend's birthday and they had a little sign on the table and gave us a complimentary dessert which was very sweet. The food was delicious and the server was great! I'll be

We went for brunch on a Tuesday for our anniversary. There wasn't a crowd so it was very quiet and cozy. The food, service and drinks were good. I had brunch, my husband had their lunch special. They gave us a complimentary dessert because it was our anniversary.

Have always loved this restaurant! The food is generally excellent but the thing we like best about it is the ambience and the fact that it is so much quieter and pleasant than the average restaurant with noise levels often dipping well up into the danger range. Restaurant 506 is housed in an old house with dining areas consisting of smaller rooms with a very intimate bar area! I would highly recommend Restaurant 506 to anyone looking for a fine intimate dining experience

Perfect house salad and bread.,Hubby's blackened pork chop/mashed potatoes/carrots was delicious. My Ahi Tuna sauce was tasteless but the tuna was good. The creamed spinach was different from other creamed spinach I've had at other fancy restaurants. Their version was cooked spinach covered by a thin sauce. Service was excellent. Water glass was always full. Restaurant was quiet and beautiful.

We enjoyed the food, the dining room, and the service. regretfully there was a group of 5 women, having their happy after a few drinks in front of a tv screen on the wall, who became loud in conversation and obnoxious. This interfered with my bride and I post Valentine's Day celebration in a hopeful romantic setting. They were in another room but the glass door was open. I hope this is taken into account for those who like a quiet ambient romantic experience.
Love this gem in Arlington! Great for a fancy brunch with my college friends. The chef at Restaurant506 never ceases to impress & I had to really narrow my focus to pick the salmon frittata with all of the other yummy options. Glad I got to try a bite of the sweet cream pancakes & short rib omelet too. Always a great spot to toast to friendship. Thank you 506 team!
