    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!

    We had our Valentine's Dinner with out of town friends at LuLu's. I'm so glad we picked LuLu's as our restaurant. The food and service were top notch. All of my friends enjoyed their meal. The restaurant had a violinist which made dining much more enjoyable and the restaurant was nicely decorated for Valentine's Day. I will definitely be returning for a meal in the near term. I highly recommend this restaurant and I have been a full time resident for over ten years now.

    My wife and I who are regular customers of Si Bon came in for an early Valentines Day dinner. We both began with the White Asparagus soup which was delicious. My wife had the Chilean Sea Bass for her entree and myself the Oregon Sand Dabs. We finished our meal with the Valentine Raspberry Mousse which was superb. They make all their meals and desserts fresh every day.

    Loved the new expanded dining area on a clear evening. Noise level was high in the space and might be addressed with some sound dammpening tiles. All was great on the food side, like always

    An absolute delight from the beginning to the end. We were met at the garden gate and whisked to our booth at the bar by a very charming young man who introduced us to our server who was warm, welcoming and very helpful. The decor is gorgeous, retro, fabulous and cozy all at once. I couldn’t stop looking at all the art and objects curated on the shelves behind the bar. Our drinks arrived and were inspired. The menu is wonderful. We shared the onion tart to start and had the pork chop and filet of sole for our main courses. Both prepared and presented to perfection and so delicious!!The music in the background was a hilarious mix from the eighties and the fizz of conversation from the diners at the bar and surrounding tables added to the atmosphere but was never too loud! I have to mention the bathroom because it was such a treat, but you will have to see for yourself!! Get a reservation if you can! It was worth the wait!! I can’t wait to go back, if I can ever get another reservation!!!!
