    The patio is a beautiful large seating area. Excellent live guitar entertainment. The server was efficient and on the spot when we needed something. I had the famous Arnold Palmer meat loaf. It’s served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Topped with BBQ sauce. It’s always delicious. My friend had the double rib pork chop. It was tender and delicious also. We had the chopped salad. The food was hot when served. The restaurant was packed as usual. You must make reservations through Open Table well in advance. We think this is the best outside patio for dining in the valley. We are never disappointed here.

    The Sandbar is always an experience! It is a shining relic of the Rat Pack days, proof that good food & service never go out of style! The servers are exceptional, so considerate of what may or may not make diners comfortable or happy. The food is very good to great depending on the dish - you can’t go wrong with the Dover sole, fried chicken or the duck. Bill Baker in the bar always puts on a fun show that takes you back in time to when SM didn’t exist and piano bars ruled, and he manages to engage younger folks with old school takes on more contemporary songs, as well. The martinis are strong, the crowd is well worth watching, and the vibe is happy.

    Most amazing meal and service in a beautiful setting. Our server went out of her way to accommodate our adult granddaughter who has several allergies. Lobster tail was best ever. Duck was amazing as was the flatiron steak. Six extremely satisfied customers. We can’t wait to go back
