We very much enjoyed our dinner at Sandro’s. The food was extremely delicious and the service was courteous and efficient. The restaurant is small and the noise level increased as the restaurant got busier, but everyone seemed happy to be there and having a convivial time. All in all, it was a treat and we look forward to returning.

First time here and very happy with the meal. In addition to the excellent food and service, we were impressed with their interior design downstairs, using glass and fabrics to give the illusion of being seated on the main level.
