    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!

    The food never disappoints here, the live music is fantastic with a great selection of songs. It’s not loud to the point you can’t hear anyone, it’s just right. The service is always excellent and fast.

    Valentine date evening. Quality food and outstanding service by our server Magdalena N. and the wait staff. Cocktails (Cosmo & Martini) were very good. We shared a Lemon Pepper salad and entrees were a Filet with a side of mixed vegetables and Braised Beef Short Rib over mashed potatoes with green beans. All were outstanding…tasty, delicious and perfectly prepared and presented. An outstanding evening!
