The food is fantastic. Loved every bite. Took them 20 minutes to even look in our direction when we walked in to even see us once seated took 20 minutes for a waiter to come over who then apologize for being crazy because it’s so busy and he was sweating and huffing and puffing, and then took 20 more minutes to even get the check so customer service is horrible But the food is very good. Don’t go on a Saturday night when they’re busy.

Wow—Sandbar absolutely blew us away! We stopped in for dinner and were lucky enough to try two incredible off-menu dishes that NEED to become permanent staples. The short rib tacos were hands down some of the best we’ve ever had—rich, tender, and packed with flavor. If these aren’t on the menu soon, it would be a crime! Then there was the halibut special with coconut… just wow. Perfectly cooked, with a silky, tropical twist that made every bite unforgettable. This dish deserves a permanent place on the menu! To top it all off, our server Edwin was phenomenal—attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. We’re already counting down the days until our next visit. Sandbar, you’ve won us over!

This Cold Spring harbor treasure is in a league of its own. The food, service, and relaxing ambiance rivals any Manhattan eatery, and the best hidden Secret is the noise level. It’s Quiet !!! It’s a 5 star restaurant in your own backyard.
