    The food was prepared perfectly, and the chef personally brought our food to the table. We had the Cod fish, swordfish and salmon, and all were delicious. Highly recommend the Sandbar. Wonderful night!

    Good food. Nice setting. Hostess made us feel welcome and so easy to park. I hate having to worry about where to put the car or having to pay for valet

    We ate dinner at the sandbar during restaurant week and was very impressed with the menu and food. The duck tacos were delicious and the deserts ( lava cake and ricotta donuts) were to die for. I the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    We visited Sandbar for Restaurant Week and couldn’t have been more impressed! The special menu was an incredible deal with very generous portions. I had the cod dish with coconut broth — hands down the best cod I’ve ever had in my life. It's an absolute must-try. My wife had the salmon with cilantro couscous and kept saying how amazing and thoughtful the flavors were. For dessert, we shared the chocolate lava cake and the crème brûlée, and both were the perfect sweet finish to an unforgettable evening. A huge shoutout to our server, Carlos, who was super informative about the menu and had an awesome attitude the whole night. Thanks to the amazing food, beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding service, we’re already booking our next reservation. Can’t wait to come back!

    We had an incredible experience at Sandbar! The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful — from the relaxed coastal vibe to the elegant details, it’s the perfect spot for a special night out. The highlight of our meal was definitely the crispy rice tuna — it was perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of texture and flavor. Our server, Janessa, made the evening even more memorable with her warm, attentive service and great recommendations. Everything from start to finish exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to come back!

    We have been coming to Sandbar for years and have never been disappointed until last night. The big thing was the food. The tuna tartare was tasteless and my salmon was over cooked.
