    Had a wonderful meal at SandBar – they never disappoint. The food and service is top-notch. We had a wonderful waiter Kenny, who was knowledgeable about the menu and checked in with us throughout the meal to make sure there was nothing else that we needed. We were very pleased with his attentiveness and he made the evening a very enjoyable experience!

    We have been here several times for different occasions and they always deliver. The food is excellent, the service is top notch and even when they are busy it still gives an intimate setting. We had our rehearsal dinner here in the private room which fits 30 people, multiple birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions. It’s a staple in our lives. 5 stars every time

    Sandbar is an absolute delight! Kenny was our server , he could not have been more friendly or attentive! The food was sheer perfection! The atmosphere always feels warm, inviting, but upscale at the same time. There is a man who brings the food to the table , it’s always the same man , I need to find out his name ,,,, he is always full of Joy when bringing out your dinner! Yes… Sandbar is our very favorite restaurant !

    Excellent dinner across the board. Recommend the crunchy tuna rice, the fish and chips and the crème brûlée, you can also get a fairly priced Pappy Van Winkle

    Restaurant is open and beautiful. Food was delicious (for lunch). Service from waiter Kenny was excellent. Just the right amount of "hospitality" with a smile.

    Service was exquisite. I accidentally dropped a fork on the floor and there was one server who immediately picked it up before I could , while a second server reached over my shoulder with a new fork. I’m visiting from the west coast, but will definitely remember this place the next time I’m in town.

    Had a lovely experience. Everything was perfect. We were running 20 minutes late but they accommodated us nonetheless. So appreciative of that.
