Sandbar NEVER disappoints and our lunch there today was no exception! Great food, beautiful ambience (decorated so special for the holidays), and our server was amazing! I had my teenager and college age kids with me and they LOVED it, too!

One of the most creative holiday menus ever! Turkey foie gras mousse , pumpkin soup with chili and turkey ramen were outstanding. Bread pudding with turkey confit was also amazing. Pecan pie with vanilla ice cream was the best we have ever tasted. (Thank you Audrey) James and Jared took very good care of us and gave us another memorable evening at Four.

This was another phenomenal experience at Rare. Multiple staff members checked in to see if we needed anything throughout our dining experience (including the general manager, Cliff). We sat right across from the bar in a large booth. The cocktails, appetizers, entrees, sides and desserts we had were all high quality. They even gave us complimentary limoncello after dessert! We will certainly be back soon. This restaurant has valet parking, price fixed menus available and also offers private event space.

Such an amazing experience! It was as if we were in the comfort of our own home, entertaining. The difference was, we didn’t have to do any of the work. We enjoyed every minute of it and highly recommend.
