First, the good news. Sanctuary's Ocean Room is a beautifully decoratedm formal dining room w an ocean (duh) view. Dine before dark. The staff are all smiley, mannerly and doting. Chairs pulled, lap napkins placed, eternally full water and wine glasses-even my purse was indulged w its own tuffet. The bad news: all this pomp, circumstance and southern genteelity will...

It has everything: great food, great atmosphere, excellent service. It is a truly elegant experience. While 6 of us went on restaurant week, we all agreed we'd return, we were so impressed. The location is gorgeous, but what stood out was the dining room is so peaceful, unlike many other places. I had the butter salad with duck confit, which...

My sister and I celebrated her birthday at the Ocean Room, and it could not have been better. Lovely room, attentive service and delicious and creative cuisine. We had the Autumn Mushroom Degustation, and every course was delicious. Even the dessert had mushrooms, and it was among the most delicious and creative desserts anywhere. We're from NYC, and are lucky...

What a special evening! Initially we were unable to get a reservation due to waiting til the last minute on a Thursday evening, so we settled for the lovely bar area of the Ocean Room. We were greeted with a complimentary glass of bubbly which went a long way to welcome us. We were seated in an alcove window seat...

We eat at a lot of top restaurants and I think this one is really tops. My wife and I had dinner along with two other couples. We had the Dinner at Dusk special -- available if you reserve a table no later than seven p.m. Excellent value and excellent food. The banana pudding dessert was perhaps the best dessert...

The was was delicious but a littel on the expensive side for the small amounts of food that was served. The staff was amazing but there were families not wearing resort formal which apparenlty was the dress code. The night we ate dinner here there was a family with small disruptive children sitting next to us which was a disappointment.

We went for my wife's 30th birthday while staying at the Sanctuary. They took very good care of us and showed us a great and memorable time. The food is excellent. The service is better than excellent. We spent a small fortune but walked out feeling as though we really did get our money's worth. Highly recommended.

Service is impeccable. I have never experienced such attentive and friendly service before. The restaurant was also rather generous in serving an amuse bouche along with a take away pastry in addition to food that we actually ordered. All the food I tried was very, very good.

If you want to feel pampered go to the Ocean Room. The only thing is, it will cost you. Service was very attentive. The food was pretty good. The steaks were cooked perfectly. The wine list is very good. If you feel like you need to know how much it costs, don't eat here, go to the Fat Hen.

We live here and wanted this to be a great restaurant. We had heard very mixed reviews. So, 4 of us dined there. We were impressed by the service and how lovely the restaurant is. However, the menu is just mediocre. First of all it is very expensive. We each got one appetizer (either Fr Onion Soup or Caesar salad)...
