Overall, I have nothing but good things to say about this restaurant. Love the all day happy hour. A lot of the servers been here for quite some time and are fun to have served you. Much different ambience than the last time I was here and the food and service was exceptional. Loved the Babyback Ribs and the Filet. The staff was smiling and the server had a Swagger of enthusiasm which had been missing. . The food is consistently excellent (be sure to have creme brulee for dessert!), the atmosphere is cozy a little dark for my tastes. I went to dinner with eight friends and they drink and have the wine I don't, but all said the drinks and wine selection was great. Seems to me it is just another chain, it has good food. I like that they have a small portion from the Happy Hour Menu most of the day. Stanford's knows what they are and what they are not. They do it well and consistently. I respect this and will certainly return.
