In Historic Downtown Sanford, you can explore unique shops, visit art galleries, and enjoy a variety of dining options. Stroll along the scenic Riverwalk, attend local events, and tour historic buildings. There are also tons of fun bars and restaurants to check out, along with live music venues and the Sanford Historic Museum. Downtown Sanford is Blayne and Jonathan's favorite place to spend a weekend—everything is within walking distance, so you can enjoy a day outdoors while soaking up the local culture.
This is a go-to spot for fresh, delicious seafood. It’s Blayne's parents' favorite place for a Friday night dinner. Be sure to ask for Morgen as your server and let her know we sent you!
This hometown bar has a cozy atmosphere with a focus on local craft beers and cocktails. They don't offer food, but you can order from Dalli's Pizzeria next door and bring it over. It is also in the same plaza as Lighthouse Cafe!
Cute breakfast and brunch restaurant with a warm and cozy atmosphere. Jonathan’s favorites are the Eggs Benedict and the biscuits and gravy, which he swears by. Make sure to tell them you're a first-timer for a complementary order of their beignets!
The Vineyard is a favorite local spot for Blayne and Jonathan. Blayne enjoys their McNabb cabernet, while Jonathan raves about the smoked old fashioned. For food we recommend their charcuterie board, meatloaf, and the french onion soup is the best we've ever had!
Mix of classic American dishes with a twist. We love their buffalo chicken eggrolls, pimento cheese 'n pretzels, and their seared tuna is unexpectedly amazing! It's a great spot for a casual meal or night out.
Hollerbach's is a landmark destination renowned for its lively German beer hall atmosphere. Known for hearty German fare like schnitzel, bratwurst, and pretzels, it’s a must-visit spot. The vibrant, communal dining experience and extensive beer selection make it a great place to enjoy delicious food and drinks while soaking up a taste of German culture. Since it gets busy, you might want to make a reservation to ensure a spot!
At Amura in Lake Mary, you’ll find a fantastic selection of Japanese cuisine, and we absolutely love their sushi. Our top picks are the Tango Mango and the Super Mexican rolls—they’re simply delicious! The restaurant also offers a variety of other tasty Japanese dishes and hibachi.
Peach Valley Café is a charming spot for a comforting breakfast or lunch. It’s a favorite for its welcoming atmosphere and hearty dishes. Our favorites are their apple fritters with strawberry yogurt—crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside, and absolutely delicious.
