    They only had two servers on Mother’s Day during dinner. Our server was very sweet, but she couldn’t keep up. The meal took FOREVER and came out in pieces. Very disappointed.
    Sands Harbor Waterfront RestaurantResponded on May 14, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear your server was kind, but we’re very sorry the service was so slow and your meal arrived in pieces—especially on Mother’s Day. We understand how disappointing that must have been and truly appreciate your patience.

    I’m had no idea the restaurant was right beside of the pool m. There were many, many children and partying adults that lessened the overall experience. I was not prepared for the splashing, etc. so close to me as I was eating.
    Sands Harbor Waterfront RestaurantResponded on May 13, 2025
    Thanks for your feedback. Mother’s Day weekend brought many families and celebrations, making things livelier than usual. We understand the setting wasn’t ideal for everyone and appreciate you sharing your experience.

    Beautiful views and the live music was fantastic! The ambience was nice, but definitely attracts an older crowd. The service was mediocre although our waitress was also working the bar. Pricing was good for the quality of food.

    Our waiter Steve was The Bomb!! Always fun and engaging with our group. We always will ask for him to be our server as it’s dinner and a show 😊 Food always consistent. Fish tacos are the best. Kids smash burgers were great. Such a fun and lively place for locals and visitors alike. See ya soon
    Sands Harbor Waterfront RestaurantResponded on April 25, 2025
    Thank you so much for the amazing review! We love hearing that Steve made your experience so memorable—he truly is “the bomb”! We’ll definitely pass along your kind words to him. We’re glad you enjoyed the food (those fish tacos are a favorite!) and the lively vibe. Can’t wait to have you back for more great times, great food, and of course—dinner and a show with Steve!
