The ambiance at Sanctuary is fantastic...so cozy and inviting! We tried the new menu last night. Everything was great! We had the catfish, eggplant, pesto melt, and chicken lime nachos. We especially loved the hush puppies! We can't wait to go back...probably for half-price pizza Sunday night. Beer menu is fantastic!

Staff was great, drinks were reasonably priced and the food was good for pub food. Great atmosphere and a clean place for a college town.

Wonderful night. Had a lovely Russian nitro stout with the London Broil, and lavender lemon pots de creme for dessert. The chef, Scott, came to our table and shared his inspiration for some of his recipes. Will definitely be back soon.

Awful lamb slider. Situation not handled professionally from both a business and customer-relations perspective. My Lions Bridge was great, though. 

Business response:

Hi Larry. That’s been a long time menu item, so I’m sorry we didn’t hit the mark on this one. Can you send me a direct message so we can discuss further? -David

The Sanctuary has retained all of its most charming and cozy elements and is now also embracing a much wider range of musical performances than in recent decades. My son and I had a wonderful evening last night listening to the always awesome Jeffrey C. Capps, enjoying a delicious Cubano, nachos and soup and experiencing great customer service even on a very bustling night.
