Let's face it, the view is phenomenal. We were a party of 7 dining on the outdoor patio and the weather was perfect. Our server was excellent and very attentive without being annoying. Our food was good. Only drawback was my friend's meal came out about 5 - 10 minutes after everyone else's. Other than that, perfect luncheon. Sanderlings is making a comeback!
This is mainly a resort restaurant where people who are staying on property would eat. We came mostly for the ocean view. Seem to be fine, dining, and the menu suggested as well, but we did not find it to be as expected. Chicken and pork dishes were dry and overcooked. Filet mignon, the priciest on the menu, ordered, medium, and received well done, burned on the outside. Management only offered a free appetizer upon return, but this is a place for vacationers not locals. Disappointed in management response. Our server was great. The ambience is great. The location is great. Menu seems good but food could've been better. 
My wife and I haven't been to Sanderlings in 15 years. The last time we went the food was great. We celebrated our 25 year anniversary there recently, and the food was very underwhelming. Neither of us finished our main course. The appetizer was ok and the clam chowder was ho hum for the area. We were very disappointed in both the food and the obiance. Especially the food. The staff was great, and there were no problems with the service.
Main Restaurant: Service was pleasant and prompt. Service end of meal was a bit rushed in spite of the restaurant not busy. Food seemed very salty and a bit lackluster but seemed it could have potential with some experienced prompting. We had dungeoness crab salad, clam chowder, and lentil cake with yellow curry. Lavosh flatbread with sesame seeds with crab salad just didn't go together. Bar Second Night: Service Excellent! Food choices much different: ceasar salad with chicken and blt with fries were both very very good - as if they came out of a different kitchen! Ambiance always nice in both rooms!
It is very good to see Sanderlings step up their game with an expanded menu and specials. We both were impressed with our meals, I had a Filet that was done to perfection and my partner had Black Cod which was outstanding. Our server was also excellent attentive and personable. I highly recommend the restaurant and kudos to the Chef and the entire crew.
Loved my pork chop with grilled peaches, blistered shishito peppers and served over a corn puree. Pork chop was cooked to perfection and the combo of peaches, corn and peppers were excellent! Highly recommend the dish. Hats off to the chef!😍
It was a clear beautiful day so we were able to sit outside and enjoy the ocean view. Food was very good and the service was also.
Very nice dining experience, we had a great table with an ocean view. The service was very good, attentive but not too much. Our meal were very good, our server suggested the catch of the day, fresh sea bass, it was a good choice, nicely seasoned but not hiding the flavor of the fish.
We loved our experience at this restaurant and absolutely loved the pork chops. One of the best meals we've had!
I love the open table restaurant. The view is beautiful. But.., I was a-little disappointed this time around. I made my RSVP on line requested a special table for my husband and I . It was his bday. We walk in. And they knew nothing about our reservation and special table I requested on line table 74. Luckily it was available. The fish and chips was alittle over cooked and clam chowder was not very good. My husband steak sandwich was delicious. Our spicy Margarita was delicious the first one. Then they switched bartenders and the 2nd was watered down. Anyway... love the ambience is so nice it makes you want to come back regardless of the meal. Hopefully we will have a better experience next time.

We had a fantastic dinner at Sanderlings! The service was great, the food was delicious and the view is gorgeous!
Nice atmosphere, nice view, we stayed st the resort snd loved it. The resort is great. We didn't enjoy the food, we tried breskfast and then dinnner. My salad tasted like sand. The service on the other hand was great.
We enjoyed our meal at Sanderlings. The ambience can't be beat, outside on their patio! The food was good, although it would have been nice to have it served in courses, instead of all at once (soup and salad, served with the entrees?) Our waitress was very sweet, and written descriptions of the food on her tray, would have been helpful. Wait staff prompt and curtious!
The sourdough bread is out of this world, so delicious, and the view is amazing
This resort restaurant stops serving breakfast at 10:00 am! Who does that?! Especially during the summer!? The lunch menu and all-day menus were offered but none of us had a hankering for artichokes or chicken wings for breakfast. I mean how hard is it to scramble or fry an egg?!
