I had the lobster Mac and cheese, was loaded with lobster and delicious and creamy. My husband got the swordfish special and it made me a little jealous! The lobster Mac and cheese is awesome but the swordfish was just cooked so perfectly! Friendly service and reasonable prices!

The food was excellent. Three burgers and fried shrimp, all were very good. Service wasn't bad, but not up there with the best. Very good beer selection. We always visit when on AMI so we would obviously recommend.Thank you James. Sorry you didn't get the kind of service we expect to provide. We will be sure to let our servers know.

We had dinner here tonight. The website states fine dining. All we heard was a small child talking at the top of his lungs and patents not trying to quiet him down. Food was great but pricy. For the price we paid, we shouldn't have to hear a child.

We have been to the SAndbar many times and it never fails to live up to the expectations. Great atmosphere, every year they seem to improve the restaurant, the food is of high standard and the service is great. They have a man who reads minds before you even think of it !!The value is also great - Massive Cocktails for $10, Sinners Delight dessert for $6 - you cannot moan at these quality plates. And to top it off the best view of the Sunset on the Island.Don't forget the bargain rail for Sandbar themed T-shirtsMartin,Thank you for continuing to make the Sandbar a restaurant of choice on your visits to the area. I am glad that you had another great visit and enjoyed your meal and drinks with us.Rich Demarse, General Manager

Waterfront Restaurant

Our regular menu is based on the finest products we can find and updated seasonally. They are prepared in classic form, with emphasis on fresh, natural flavors.

Reviewed By dough243

We drove from Clearwater approx 1.5 hours to get the crab cakes. When we arrived and looked at the menu - no crab cakes. Because they had trouble with the quality of crab we were told they changed to grouper cakes. So I ordered this. It was OK, and similar in crab cakes in how they were made, but I was really wishing for crab cakes. The location is close to the water, and there was a nice breeze the night we were there. My only suggestion to the owners would be to update their online menu, so guests know what is actually available.
