We went to Sandbar to celebrate my husband's birthday. We shared a mushroom truffle pizza, and I had the poké bowl while my husband had the short ribs. We finished our meal with the creme brulee which was wonderful. We both really enjoyed everything. The service was commendable as well.

This was our second time here. Same as the first,, the food food was delicious delicious. We had duck tacos and flatbread pizza as appetizers, and a grilled shrimp salad, and roasted cod for entrées. We had the ricotta balls for dessert… Everything was delicious and our server Carlos was terrific… Look forward to coming back Soon.

Fabulous! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and appreciated. They sat us in front of the beautiful fire. The service could not have been better. Edwin was our server and his constant smile made us feel like we were on a Disney cruise. We ordered the lump crab cakes to share… HIGHLY recommend! We both had the swordfish… out of this world. Ended the meal with Blueberry TresLeches and crème brûlée. It was magic! Being our first time at the Sandbar…. We were so very pleased at the entire experience. We will return! Highly recommend! Thank you!

The food is fantastic. Loved every bite. Took them 20 minutes to even look in our direction when we walked in to even see us once seated took 20 minutes for a waiter to come over who then apologize for being crazy because it’s so busy and he was sweating and huffing and puffing, and then took 20 more minutes to even get the check so customer service is horrible But the food is very good. Don’t go on a Saturday night when they’re busy.

Wow—Sandbar absolutely blew us away! We stopped in for dinner and were lucky enough to try two incredible off-menu dishes that NEED to become permanent staples. The short rib tacos were hands down some of the best we’ve ever had—rich, tender, and packed with flavor. If these aren’t on the menu soon, it would be a crime! Then there was the halibut special with coconut… just wow. Perfectly cooked, with a silky, tropical twist that made every bite unforgettable. This dish deserves a permanent place on the menu! To top it all off, our server Edwin was phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. We’re already counting down the days until our next visit. Sandbar, you’ve won us over!
