Sandpiper is perfect - fantastic food, good prices, chill vibe, fresh seafood, great oysters, great beer, TVs at the bar, and wonderful service. It’s a dream, and the corn skillet cake side is perfect as a dessert too.

Oysters tasted delicious 😋
Bucatini: Shrimp pasta was gooooood.
Berkshire Pork Chop was honestly the best meal tonight. The Cheddar Grits were amazing.
Banana Pudding was very good.

We got only drinks and appetizers and everything was delicious! Shrimps were particularly good.

Party of 3, tried ceviche (AMAZING!!!!), steamed mussels (AMAZING!!!!), endive salad (not my taste but very fresh and wife loved it) Caesar salad (A++++), trout (excellent, would have been better without the smoky rub, but still very very enjoyable), salmon (plain terrific!!!), steak fries (steak was excellent, but the fries were out-of-this-galaxy good). The banana pudding dessert pushed everything over the top.
Wonderful dining experience, will definitely go back. Very highly recommend. Service is excellent too from everyone we interacted with.

We loved everything, the fries, the beet salad, the mai tai, the trout, the server. Everything was spot on.

Came during happy hour and it was pretty dead. No one was at the front when we arrived so I had to look for someone. The entire staff was huddled around by the bar just hanging out. I asked for seating for 2 to which a staff member responded let me check the reservations, which is fair. What bothered me about that was that no one who came after us was told the same thing they were just seated. Overall the experience was just mid. Food was so so as was the service. Lauren was our server and although she was really nice she was just nowhere to be found especially when our drinks needed to be refilled. So on a side note they charge 5% to eat there which has never really sat well with me. Just increase the cost of the food. For the price I would just say this wouldn’t be my first choice.

We came in at 8pm and waited more than half an hour for our food to arrive. They were not busy at all with plenty of empty tables. Servers were inattentive as well - even when we got here, we waited a while to be seated. Considering the high price and the drive farther from nearby attractions, I would not recommend coming here.

Went to Sandpiper for a business dinner. The atmosphere, service, and food were all fabulous!
I had the Salmon with farro which was phenomenal. We shared the oyster appetizer and a variety of other goodies. Then the table ordered every dessert. The profiterole was my favorite with a tart raspberry vibe and perfect pastry.
The wine and drink selection are A+.
We will definitely be back for the atmosphere and food. Our waiter was also beyond kind because our guest took forever to get through their meal and we were definitely a long time.
