                  Delicious food, passable service. Went on restaurant week, so staff seemed tired.

                  Have been to this restaurant multiple times but this most recent visit was definitely sub-par and we will not return. Food during restaurant week was just so-so and service was not attentive. Noise level was so loud it was difficult for our table of 4 to converse without shouting. Have they changed chefs? It's a shame because Sandbar used to be one of my favorites but there's too many other restaurant choices to settle for mediocrity here.

                  We visited Sandbar for the first time during restaurant week, ordering from the two-course menu. The choices were varied and the portions were generous. We enjoyed our clam chowder and tuna crispy rice appetizers, which were both presented beautifully. Our second courses -- the Poke bowl and mahi mahi tacos, were both appealing and tasty. The service was excellent. The ambiance was very nice; light, airy, and cozy. Tip: the tables by the windows with padded chairs are the most comfortable! My only complaint would be that the wine is far too expensive -- over $20 per glass. We plan to return again for dinner.

                  Four of us had an outstanding restaurant week lunch at Sandbar! The space is stunning and we were seated in a corner banquette so plenty of room. The food was incredible especially for restaurant week. Two of us had the duck tacos and salmon. Both were so flavorful and with dinner size portions. Even the Manhattans were great and came with a sidecar! The best part was our waiter Franz! He was attentive, informative with a wonderful smile!! Overall wonderful experience. Thank you!!

                  I have been going to Sandbar for many years. When I make my reservation I always ask for a table against the windows with the comfortable chairs. I called this week twice to reconfirm my request and was told no problem In the past I was always accommodated Yesterday we arrived to be told by the host he was not notified and by the manager we don't guarantee requests because everyone wants to sit there. Like I said I have always called and been given the table even this past News Years Eve. Although, they pushed two small tables together with a banquette we were not comfortable. I cant tell you how disappointed with the responses I was given by the manager and host.
