Food and service were excellent. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed, perfect for lunch or dinner. Had the lobster roll and was not disappointed. They have a good selection of draft beers too.

We had a wonderful experience at the sandbar. Service was excellent. Three of us had the salmon dinner, which was just outstanding. Our appetizer of grilled octopus was delicious. We did go on a Friday night and it was a bit noisy, but definitely tolerable.

Fabulous experience! Edwin our waiter was super friendly and en pointe. Swordfish was noisy and delicious. Tres leches and creme brulee was out of this world. Beautiful space and great location! We will be back!

I went for lunch with my family. We ordered the seafood tower, salads, peas fries were fun, tacos were great, shrimp and grits were ok shrimp was overdone. Desserts were the right size and tasteful. The service was on point very attentive. Beautiful atmosphere.

I just used the private room at the Sandbar for my mother's surprise birthday party and can't say enough wonderful things about my experience. They worked with me to create the perfect menu where everyone was raving about the food. I was able to decorate the room exactly how I wanted it and they even provided a birthday message to my mother on the menu. Check out the pictures. The women had such a great time that many of them were supposed to leave to attend another party commitment but ended up staying to the end. The staff was incredible, accommodating and made this process as easy as possible. It was a group of 17 women and a fantastic experience. I recommend them for private events and would definitely use The Sandbar again. Thank you!

My family and I have been here several times! We love the food, service and ambiance! I planned to have my son’s confirmation dinner there and once again they were great! James helped me with selecting items from their main menu. We had a special menu that day which included a choice of three appetizers, three entrees and three desserts plus coffee, tea and soda. Danny was the manager the day we arrived. The service was great and the people there are very nice! We’ll definitely be back.
