   My friends wife and I celebrated our same day birthdays 10 years apart. The Sandbar was the best place I’ve eaten in Coachella valley! Our server Katie was professional and had a great personality! She allowed me to adjust the vegetable serving for my veal Marsala dinner that was fantastic! Other dishes chicken piccata, tomato soup with chopped wedge and bacon/ cheese were great too. Drinks did not disappoint We will be back!

   Excellent atmosphere, extremely flavorful food, perfect music. Waitstaff situation was confusing and disjointed. Three different parties covered our table. At times waitstaff was MIA. I sense this was the exception vs. the rule. Highly recommend this restaurant, a gem !! .

   I really love the Sand Bar. We have had many dinners there with family and friends. It’s kind of retro and fun because of the music and ambience. That said, the night we dined we opted for the Wine room as some of my guests have hearing issues and the music in the dining room was too loud. It was a perfect place to be seated. We shared salads which were good along with the bread. Two guests ordered the sand dabs, one ordered the duck and I had the sole. The guests that ordered the sand dabs complained that they were fishy tasting. The duck looked fairly dry and my sole was okay. Our waitress was really on top of it. She told the manager who then came to the table. Although we were not looking for compensation, she comp’t two sand dabs dinners which we appreciated. She really wanted everyone to be happy. Would I go back, yes.

   Love this old school fun restaurant… we chose not to sit in the bar so we could talk because they have a wonderful and lively entertainer daily (bill) in their bar… we had a cozy corner table off the bar but could still hear the singing and fun coming from the bar area… our hostess was professional and friendly and kept an eye on our table.… I would go back in a heartbeat

   What a great little restaurant! Food was wonderful. No need for valet parking, but nice touch maybe. Will definitely go back for more.

   Food and services were great! Only issue was noisy patrons but not the restaurant’s fault!
