This is the second time I've been to Sandbar. The first time was on a very busy Friday night & the noise level was beyond loud. Even though the food was delicious I wasn't sure that I would return.
Today was totally different, I had lunch with friends and were able to sit for a long leisurely meal. The service was incredible, the server was very attentive, & polite. The food was again as delicious as before. Each of my friends had something different & each enjoyed their choice. The food was presented in a lovely manner. It was flavorful & the portions were perfect for lunch. We ordered the Ricotta Donuts for the table, they were perfect. It was just enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. They were served with a raspberry sauce as well as a chocolate sauce. They hit the spot without being too much. They were just right to end a great meal with great friends. I will be back.

We went to Sandbar to celebrate my husband's birthday. We shared a mushroom truffle pizza, and I had the poké bowl while my husband had the short ribs. We finished our meal with the creme brulee which was wonderful. We both really enjoyed everything. The service was commendable as well.

Fabulous!
From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and appreciated.
They sat us in front of the beautiful fire. The service could not have been better. Edwin was our server and his constant smile made us feel like we were on a Disney cruise.
We ordered the lump crab cakes to share… HIGHLY recommend! We both had the swordfish… out of this world. Ended the meal with Blueberry TresLeches and crème brûlée. It was magic!
Being our first time at the Sandbar…. We were so very pleased at the entire experience. We will return! Highly recommend! Thank you!

The food is fantastic. Loved every bite. Took them 20 minutes to even look in our direction when we walked in to even see us once seated took 20 minutes for a waiter to come over who then apologize for being crazy because it’s so busy and he was sweating and huffing and puffing, and then took 20 more minutes to even get the check so customer service is horrible But the food is very good. Don’t go on a Saturday night when they’re busy.
