   My husband and I were attracted to this restaurant because of their interesting menu. The food was delicious but the ambience is kind of lame. Overall, a nice place to come with friends and experience interesting food.

   We ordered the sashimi platter, a Scandinavian roll, a rainbow roll and three drinks. The sashimi platter was outstanding. The sashimi was incredibly fresh and all high quality. One of the best sashimi platters I’ve ever had. We also ordered two Freydis martinis (Haku vodka, lychee purée, passion fruit liquor, Joao Yuzu sake and lemon). These drinks were on the pricier side at $18 a piece, but were absolutely delicious. I could have spent a fortune on those alone. While not a restaurant I can afford every day, it was so worth the experience and the quality. I highly recommend. I will be dreaming about that sashimi for some time.

   We had an amazing experience! The food was outstanding. Our server Justin was fabulous. The scallops were amazing, everything we ordered was delicious. Must haves include the tuna tostadas, braised octopus, Sandfish & Venue rolls, lollipop, wagyu beef carpaccio, brussel sprouts and karaage cauliflower bao buns. Don’t forget dessert, both the match cookie crumb Japanese cheesecake and the espresso crème brûlée were wonderful. Highly recommend! 6/5 stars!

   We’ve been coming to Sandfish for several years, but last night was especially nice. Maybe because of Andy, an excellent server. (We also made friends with the people at the next table, not a usual practice, but it happened and enhanced the pleasure of the evening.)

    As always, we knew to take our 1st time guest to Palm Springs, for the BEST Sushi in the entire valley. And, we were NOT disappointed. The staff went out of their way to make sure we got the perfect table. Michael, our server was outstanding. He offered several recommendations to make our visit even better than we knew it would already be. Dinner was stunning, as it always is. And when we were way over stuffed (A good thing with Sushi!) we asked to cancel the last "Phoenix Roll." But they insisted on making it for us, to take home and try, with their compliments! THAT was so unexpected, kind, surprising and appreciated. THEN, after an amazing Espresso Creme Brulee dessert, we of course, got up and walked away, without our to-go bag ☹☹☹!!! You can't imagine the disappointment when we arrived home later and realized we didn't have our bag. We drove back across town, only to find that because it had sat so long, it had to be disposed of. I was so disappointed, but without missing a beat, Michael had the kitchen make a NEW one for us... I couldn't talk him out of it, and of COURSE they refused any payment for it. I just had it for lunch and this new Roll they are offering, in celebration of their NEW location in Phoenix AZ, was TRULY delicious. WE can't WAIT to go back for more. (And that will be a week from this Saturday, with yet another "Newbie" who hasn't ever been there! ) We also have plans for two others, one of whom especially enjoys Whiskey, so we KNOW they are in for a special treat! Thank you to all the entire staff & management, and especially to Michael for making this an extra special evening!

    This place is awesome and one of my “go to’s” when I’m out in Palm Springs. I brought some business colleagues here and they thought it was phenomenal. The only reason why I rated the noise level a little high was because they had a DJ and the music was awesome! When you have great food and great music, what else do you need?

    The food is expensive relative to the quality, especially for the sushi rice which was dry, like it had been cooked much earlier in the day.

    Usually a 5 star experience for us, so not sure what was happing that night. We were a party of 5 and though drinks and apps came out quickly, our entree orders (mainly sushi and sushi platter) took and hour and a half to get to the table. Yes it was a Saturday, but they weren’t full by any means. We were in a back corner…WE will still come and enjoy Sand S because quality of the food and drinks is so high.

    Good food and ambiance was wonderful! They were also great with our toddler. We had a 5:30 reservation though and we got there at 5:25 and weren’t sat until 5:45 - there seemed to be an issue with a few tables so just be prepared to wait with a reservation.

    Went to here to celebrate our anniversary. Wonderful ambiance on the outdoor deck, despite it being a cooler night there were plenty of heaters to keep it cozy! Our service was amazing and our waiter went above and beyond with recommendations. The food was delicious and exactly what we were hoping for out of our dining experience. Strongly recommend Sandfish for a special occasion!

    This was one of our favorite meals in Palm Springs—the food was spectacular (the Sandfish Roll was a favorite), the drinks were well-balanced and well-made, and the service was great. I would definitely recommend it to anybody looking for a unique eating experience.

    TLDR; it was fine, won’t be returning. Order all your food at once. The highlights - Well balanced and flavorful Old Fashioned - The Venue & Lollipop Rolls were great I was so excited to try Sandfish after hearing great things. I made reservations for us months in advance, however the only option was for outside. Not a big deal, figured if it’s offered they’ll be prepared for outdoor dining in January. We dressed warm just in case. Unfortunately, they had very limited heaters for their large outdoor patio and our table had almost no coverage from the wind. The cold wouldn’t have been too terrible except the food took 45 to come out both times we ordered sushi rolls. I would’ve preferred that our server warn us about the long wait before ordering so that we could plan to only put in one order of all of our rolls. The food was fine, the two rolls listed above were the best part. The rest of what we had was fine, nothing special. The portions of the fish were pretty sparse and presentation was mid. I enjoyed my meal but to be honest, will probably look for a new spot next time we’re in town. After leaving we read other reviews that say the same about the wait. My inkling is they expanded to the patio during the pandemic and don’t have the kitchen facilities to keep up with the added capacity. Overall, it was fine. I enjoyed my time there, though chilly. However, if a friend asked me for a recommendation it would not make the list.

    Bad experience sitting outside on a rainy night. Team kept trying to get water off the top of the tents, which kept splashing the patrons. My coat ended up pretty wet on one side. Then they decided to clean up & move out all the tables & chairs that weren’t being used. Not only was it not professional to do so in front of clients that are still trying to finish their expensive meals but it was very loud and annoying. Some employees were literally dragging chairs out, instead of picking them up so it was way too loud, even w the noise of the rain in the background. We finally said something & someone came over to apologize but we ended up cutting our dinner short. We dined with two clients who had never been there & will probably never go back.

    Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere, in the heart of Palm Springs, with the most delicious food. The kind of meal that stays with you and think about often. Can't wait to go back and try other menu options. The signature Sandfish Roll and Espresso Creme Brulee are not to be missed!
