   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.

   Amazing food and we were not rushed to eat and leave quickly. Our waiter Carlos was very helpful and knowledgeable about the food selections.

   My entree was cold and that was a big turnoff. Been there before, probably won’t go back for a while

   Food would be 4 star, if it was served hotter. Every visit the dishes come out “warm”, next visit we will ask that they be “hot”. Overall, nice dining experience.

    Mom’s 87th birthday. Parking was a breeze. Hostess Carli had a great personality and made us feel at home. Our waiter, Paris, was very attentive and did an excellent job of making sure we all were satisfied. I’ve been here many times it keeps getting better!
