Came here 2x for dinner during our 5 day stay in Sanibel! Blackened salmon is so good! When we visited, they had a salmon picatta special w/ mushroom risotto that was amazing. Service was on point!

Christopher Long

Highly recommended for crab bisque , Boom Boom Shrimp , Oysters . The Coconut Scallops are good if you like a very sweet sauce w/ your scallops . Crab stuffed shrimp was uninspired. Very friendly staff .

Nathan Wright

This is a charming little restaurant off the beaten path on Sanibel. I came here for the oysters and was not disappointed. (Note: Happy hour only extends to customers at the bar and high-top tables.)

Back again! This place is FANTASTIC!! Boom boom shrimp , ribs , and seafood combo platters are family favorites!

Charles Thomas

Great food good service . Came for lunch without reading anything about the place. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Grouper Ruben was innovative and tasty.

Valerie M

Great service and awesome food. The grouper was to die for!! Even the homemade bread is fantastic. And go for the clam bisque..yum!!

Stacy Romascavage

Just as amazing as last year! Try the ribs , boom boom shrimp , and coconut shrimp ! BEST food on the islands !

Janet Wilson

I really wanted to like this place. I try to keep local businesses on top of my list. I had coconut shrimp . It was covered in white chocolate and raspberry sauce . Did not work.

Stacy Romascavage

Service was great! Ask for Chris or Brian! The boom boom shrimp was amazing! Def coming back for dinner !

Ilana Yokel

Phenomenal food! Mahi-mahi was to die for.

Better to be eating the Macadamia Grouper than having a 30 minute wait in the lounge . The Sandbar takes reservations for parties of 1 to 70. (239) 472-0305

Chris is amazing!

Mark Clack

Excellent service by our female server - issues over wine - didn't want to exchange (customer always wrong) from condescending manager. Worst acoustics ever. Too many hard surfaces. Food okay.

Cole Smith

Not great. When I was here, the live band was overwhelmingly loud and the food was just decent.

Lorilyn Cooper

Food was low quality poorly prepared, worst meal, cheap food covered in sauces to hide the taste.
