Four of us had an outstanding restaurant week lunch at Sandbar! The space is stunning and we were seated in a corner banquette so plenty of room. The food was incredible especially for restaurant week. Two of us had the duck tacos and salmon. Both were so flavorful and with dinner size portions. Even the Manhattans were great and came with a sidecar! The best part was our waiter Franz! He was attentive, informative with a wonderful smile!! Overall wonderful experience. Thank you!!
