    We booked and outside table, not realizing that meant a table by the windows, which could open for a semi outdoor feel. The food was delicious, and service was good.

    What a fantastic place to spend time with friends - gorgeous dining room and every dish looked amazing. Mine was so delicious I can’t stop thinking about it days later. The team who looked after our large group booking were just amazing, they really made the evening work. I’m so pleased with my experience here and highly recommend it.

    Due to a change in Cruise itinerary we ended up in Airlie Beach again - so pleased we were again able to book Sandbar. Paul and his team did not disappoint - fabulous food and they take time to talk to you! Will always make a point of going there, when we are in town

    A lovely break from the heat in Airlie Beach! The air conditioning was a welcome relief, and even though it was raining, the views were still stunning. The food was exceptional – both in taste and presentation. The cocktails were absolutely gorgeous, and the service was incredibly efficient. Every cocktail we ordered arrived at our table within two or three minutes. A fantastic spot to relax and enjoy great food and drinks!

    If I could, I would give TEN stars. Food, service and ambience at this establishment is SPECTACULAR. We enjoyed a great view and an ongoing conversation with Paul - nothing was a problem and in return the entree, main, dessert and coffee was well worth the price. An engaging venue that we HIGHLY recommend. We will definately add this to our MUST DO list for Airlie Beach visits

    I had a great meal at Sandbar with friends. The service was quick and efficient, and Paul and the team were friendly and attentive. The chicken sliders were excellent—packed with flavour and cooked perfectly. The beach views and sunset added a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. It’s a fantastic spot for a casual catch-up over good food. I’ll definitely be back.

    Had a beautiful meal at Sandbar restaurant. The food was spectacular, really recommend the Coral trout tacos. Thank you to Tom and Chrissy for looking after us, all staff very attentive and friendly. Gorgeous view of the beach and delicious cocktails. Special mention to Paul the owner very friendly and made sure we were well looked after. Will definitely be back again.
