My mother and I go every year to celebrate my birthday. They have excellent food, if a little pricey. Perfect for a treat / special occasion type of place. Outside of my budget to eat there regularly, though unfortunately. We usually have whatever quiche of the day they have available. It has never steered us wrong. They also have REALLY good raspberry cheesecake, so leave room for dessert! Our latest server, Mallory, was wonderful- very personable, attentive despite being super busy, and just made my birthday lunch that much more special. We made sure to tip extra well so she knew we appreciated her, as she was a VERY busy bee buzzing from table to table spreading sunshine and a smile as she went. We'll be back again next year to continue the tradition!

We were in town for to visit family and decided to eat at the Sanctuary. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. Nice place for a family meal with lots of menu options. Prices were reasonable and service was spot on. Thanks for an enjoyable Saturday lunch!
