    Sanctuary is a fantastic spot, and we’re regulars for good reason. We especially love the pasta and ticket special they run in partnership with the Labia Theatre — a great way to combine a great meal with a show. Our waitress Hannah was amazing. She always makes us feel welcome and taken care of, and her service is a big part of why we keep coming back. Highly recommend!
