“Restaurant 506 located at the Sanford House in Arlington, Texas is the best fine dining experience in Arlington – without a doubt! If you want an intimate setting with great service and even better food, look no further. I have been for brunch, lunch, and dinner (dinner is my favorite). Their menu changes occasionally which keeps things fresh, but there is always something for someone. I wish I had taken pictures because the dishes are beautiful and tasty!

Why drive to Fort Worth or Dallas when you can experience such a fine dining experience in Arlington?”

“Maggie “magic hands” was amazing and sweet. The staff were lovely! I enjoyed my time and I will tell others of my great experience here! I can’t wait to come back. Thank you and your staff for a lovely day”

“Great service and food! We went there for brunch and it was definitely worth it. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas so lots of chances for photo ops.”

“My wife and I have been meaning to check out this restaurant for a while now. It is part of The Sanford House Inn and Spa (thesanfordhouse.com) which we also have yet to experience. After the meal we took some time to hang out in the courtyard under a nice gazebo.

The food & service were both great. The chef really does a great job on his dishes. The menu changes every so often as you would expect with any good restaurant with a good chef. My wife ordered an amazing chicken and waffles with cherries and bacon while I opted for the crusted trout with shiitake mushrooms and vegetables. Price point with tip (no drinks) $38. My biggest takeaway here is that this is a great place for a really classy meal right in downtown Arlington. Very convenient.”

“I can’t say enough about this venue. The moment we stepped into the courtyard, we fell in love with how intimate and unique it is. They keep the grounds in such good shape you forget you are off a busy street in downtown Arlington. You feel like you are in a little secret garden in your own private retreat. The best part….you can stay there! We checked in Friday, woke up Saturday, got married that evening and checked out Sunday. An amazing weekend. Krista and Katherine were fantastic event coordinators and got every detail perfect. The entire staff was so attentive and helpful, it made the whole wedding stress free. Stay in the Villa Royale, use the jetted tub to relax and unwind, wake up late and enjoy an delicious brunch in the restaurant and feel grateful you found this amazing wedding venue.”

“Just to let you know, everyone loved your restaurant, the food and the set up. The servers were great, the food was on time and came together for everyone. Simply flawless!

“Camille and Valerie,

I wanted to thank you all so much for taking such good care of us for Shelley’s retirement luncheon! She loved that you had all of her favorites on the menu and having our own space made it even more special!

It was nice to see the whole team hang out and relax and enjoy each other’s company! I think just walking in the door de-stresses you somehow! I was so glad to see everyone putting their cell phones away, except of course to video the chocolate deconstruction!

Thank you again!”

“What a beautiful place to have a wedding whether inside or outside. They made our outdoor garden wedding a beautiful and memorable day despite the freezing day. We will be returning for our first anniversary.”

– Stephanie

“This venue is extremely beautiful and all of the guests commented on how it was a wonderful place! Everything was set up as asked and we never had any problems with anything. The food was amazing as well and I highly recommend this venue for a wedding or any function!”

– Kristen

“What can I say but WOW! Krista and John were absolutely awesome! The Sanford House is a beautiful location for an intimate Wedding. We had 100 guest. John ( the chief ) went out of his way to accommodate our taste for Cajun Flair! Krista was so awesome to work with. We had no stress at all the day before, the day of or the day after. Krista worked with our outside vendors and set things up that we did not even think of. We had so much fun and our guest could not believe the transformation from Ceremony to Reception in the Courtyard! “Van” the man was another hidden jewel! Booking all the rooms the night before and the night of the wedding was truly a Bonus!”
