Stanford's Restaurant & Bar - Jantzen Beach

I've eaten tons of chicken tenders in my life, but honestly, this place has the best I've ever tried. It's a small-ish lunch size, but since I'm a bit of a dainty eater it's the perfect portion for me. They do have a pretty extensive menu full of different tasty-looking options for all ages, though they're on the pricier side. The place is a bit dark and sometimes not the cleanest (mainly due to some flies), but it's still a good atmosphere with friendly employees and quick service. I'm going to start recommending this place to my friends and family.

Randomly decided to try a new restaurant on my road trip north and I was pleasantly surprised by how deliciously fabulous it was here. I was hankering for some surf and turf … and boy did Stanford’s deliver. Ordered the chimichurri steak tips, too, and they were amazing. Great place for some wine, lobster and steak! No complaints - it was lovely, the staff were awesome and I will be back next time I’m in town. Great little spot to stop before crossing into Washington 😋 🥩 🦞 ✨ love it.

Superb dinner in a charming setting. We made reservations for a busy Friday night and we were seated immediately, while our seating preferences were followed. The wait staff was very attentive and courteous. We ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer and they were so flavorful, with a perfect crisp on the outside. The prime rib was cooked perfectly and the chicken was juicy and seasoned just right. The cheesy bread is also amazing! We will definitely be back!

Phenomenal steaks and flavorful food. This steakhouse will not disappoint you, the mac and cheese is great. The spinach dip starter is delicious and the fried calamari is not chewy at all, super crisp. The steaks are rich and the sides complement the whole means. From the Prime Rib, Rib Eye to the Cabernet Tips they will not disappoint. It is expensive, but the flavor is worth it

It feels strange to be writing a review of Stanfords, we've been coming here for so long, it's like writing a review for a favorite old aunt. But let's get to it. First thing is over the years we have always sat near a couple, usually young having what looks like a special, possibly first date as well as a family group with at least one ancient relative. This says something about the restaurant. It's the kind of place you tell your kid to take his girlfriend after the prom. It's safe, it's quiet, kind of romantic, but won't absolutely break the bank. It's also a good place to take mom or dad for special occasions. Now some of those booths are a little smaller and I fit in them like an egg in a chicken, but some are a bit larger, so we just moved. The waiter was a true professional. He was friendly without being too personal, attentive, accommodating, and efficient. I would assume he's been in the biz for a long time, he has his shit down to an art. All the serving staff wear all black and I swear one of the women looked almost exactly like Cat Woman. Of course the most important thing is the food and I have no complaints. I've always loved their burgers and their pasta was savory and deep with bright complex notes from the sun dried tomato and a soft earthy base from the mushrooms. My wife even enjoyed her asparagus, which is unusual. The Creme Brûlée is always fantastic with the perfect crunch like thin ice breaking on a near frozen pond. The Raspberry Lemon Drop my wife ordered was fun with the raspberry suspended in the drink in a lemon peel cup, totally cute. The Cheesy bread was great with a strong herb flavor and plenty of cheese, really a meal unto itself. I also love that they serve an extra glass of ice with their iced tea. Not enough ice is a pet peeve of mine. There is a range of price points and you can get in for a good meal without breaking the bank, or you can shoot a little higher if the mood strikes. So I suppose the question is, What exactly is Stanfords? If it's not the hippest or the newest, it's a safe, solid haven where you get treated well and and know you'll walk out satisfied. I love exploring new places. I love Asian cuisine and taking culinary risks, but Stanfords is always a place both my wife and I can agree on.

Clean and friendly environment. Comfortable booth seats. Foods are tasty and fresh. My kid(picky eater) loves eating here and coming back. They do a good job with kid meals. The chicken tenders are tender and juicy, while other places offer dried and tasteless kid meals. Highly recommend and preferably to come back!
