   We loved everything we tried and the service was amazing , we never had more than one dish at a time so the timing was amazing . Cocktails were so good especially the espresso martini , we will be back !

   The bartenders and sushi chefs have recommendations, including items that weren’t on the menu. All of them were interactive. It was nice to have the nigiri chef watch me as I tasted my uni and he made sure I enjoyed it!

   The service was absolutely terrible. All tables around us were served their meals before us. We only ordered two appetizers and three sushi rolls. The waiter kept apologizing and saying our order was coming out in 2 mins and then the order would not come out. Only two rolls eventually came out and the 3rd roll for one of our friends came out at least 15 mins later after everyone finished eating. We never got refills of water after multiple times until before we left the restaurant. The worst service I have experienced in a very long time and the restaurant was not very busy

   Impressive whiskey lineup, especially the Japanese malts. Nigiri sampler platter arrived 30 minutes late. Course fish cuts. Dried rice. Expensive even for valley costs.

   Ambiance was great. We tried to eat there the night before but it was full with reservations. We were sat promptly and introduced to our waitress. She was pleasant and attentive. Once we ordered we waited forever for our food. When it finally came we were less then impressed. We ordered three rolls that took over and hour. We ordered two to start and added the third. Like I said we waited a long time. We didn’t order dessert because we feared it would take just a long as the rolls. Overall we won’t be back.

   Food was Great! Alejandro our server was Great! Manager was horribly rude. Pulled a menu from us while we were getting ready to order more food and threw a QR code disk on our table and said you can read the menu there. We have eaten there many times and always enjoyed the food and the service. This was a terrible experience that may keep us from returning. I will certainly stop recommending to friends and visitors. I worked hospitality for years and have never witnessed such behavior from management. They should be setting an example for the rest of the employees.

    We have been here a few times but always sat outside and the food and service were great. This time though we were seated at the bar and while the food is still amazing the service was awful. Ordered two omakase dinners but our last two dishes were never served and 2jrs in we decided to pay and leave. The bartender (not our waiter) did apologize and gave us a discount - still at this price level it is unacceptable not to be able to deliver. The food here is great but service has a long way to go

    This restaurant was recommended by a relative. We had a 6 pm res and got there at 5:45 and there were a ton of empty tables on the patio which we had requested. They were a little pretentious and didn't seat us until 5:55. The server Josh made up for it with terrific attitude and recommendations. Food was very good. A lot of the special rolls were California roll based but we opted for a variety which was good.

    Food was good, waiter was great, Manager/host was terrible. We had our 89 yr Father and Mother (party of 6) with us, we were put outside in the direct cold wind, when asked to move to a covered or wind blocked area, sorry we can't, though there were several open tables. We later conveyed our disappointment with Manager and were simply told, have a nice evening. One and done.

    The food was great and Carmen our server was amazing. We were a little bummed because we made reservations and wrote that it was our wedding night but we were sat outside with the crazy wind. Wasn't the best ambiance for our first dinner. Carmen was amazing though which made our experience better.

    The food was delicious, the cocktails were okay and the service was really not great! I felt so bad for the servers, clearly, there are staffing problems in both the BOH and FOH. The food was weirdly spaced, my cocktail was forgotten and when it arrived it tasted like juice (for $19, that was disappointing), but the food was tasty! For the price, it felt like a miss!

    Great sushi. Loved the scallop nigiri, very buttery and perfect. Great rolls and liked the pork belly bao buns. Cocktails were fair. We sat outside on the patio in an open shipping container which is kind of cool and had a portable ac unit which was very nice.

    Receptionist was not accommodating and had a bad attitude. We asked to sit at another table in the back due to the wind and were told it was ‘reserved’. 30 minutes into our meal the table was given to a table of 3 when we were a table of 4 who would’ve benefited from a round table. Food was a bit overpriced but was very good.

    Service was nonexistent. They did not have enough servers for full service. This is completely unacceptable, knowing that all their tables are reservations. At the very least, they know a couple days prior how many people they have on the books for that night and should have a serving staff adequate to accommodate that. Our server came to our table 3 times in 2 hours and one of those times I had to get up and ask him if we could have our bill. We were perpetually out of water, food and drinks. When we did get the food is was good but not worth the hassle of booking reservations a month in advance. There was also only one bathroom for men and women so there was a line for it all night. They also had a DJ playing music but the bass was turned up so much you couldn't even make out what song it was. Overall, it's not worth the money. I love going to Palm Springs but I won't go to Sandfish again.

    So happy to have made this apart of our trip as it was definitely a high and something we will always remember. We elected the chefs option which is a wonderful 8 courses with plenty of food! The drinks were also phenomenal. The chefs selection has a few brave choices and may not be for everyone, but super fun to get out of your comfort zone. A DJ also started at 7pm when we arrived and they were amazing! Loved the music- made it SO fun. Josh our server was awesome, but unfortunately the greeter, possible manager? At the front desk was not very polite when we arrived. Have to leave an honest review- but this was the only part of the evening that was off putting. We stood there while he had a side conversation and didn’t acknowledge us until we said hello for a second time. Finally he replied with “what’s your reservation name?” A hello or how are you goes a long way when you are greeting someone at the door for dinner. We will be back and would recommend to all who love a good evening of sushi, drinks & ambiance.

    We made a reservation for a very special event over 2 months. . Drove several hours to get there and they wanted to sit us outside. This is Palm Springs people. Hot AF. No tables available inside of course! Thanks for making it clear. I hate learning the hard way.

    Food was INCREDIBLE. But the service was so rushed despite us asking them to slow it down. We were in and out with many many plates in about an hour. Would have preferred they slowed down so we could have enjoyed the food. At time we had 3+ plates on the table, way too much. Food was absolutely spectacular though, will be back!
