Wow! The view from the patio for the sunset is spectacular! We were 5 people so we opted to share a bunch of different appetizers. Everything was sooo good!!! We had calamari, Cajun shrimp, beet salad, crab and spinach dip and nachos with shrimp. Everything was great! Our server was fabulous and our drinks were delicious!! We will be back!

First time visiting this restaurant. Stopped in for an early dinner. Food was amazing. I had the blackened grouper that was cooked to perfection and served hot. CJay was an extremely attentive server and made me feel very comfortable. The views of the gulf are outstanding!

As a local, it means a lot to have a restaurant like this in our community. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like more than just a table — you’re treated like a neighbor. The manager, Michael, is incredibly attentive, genuinely kind, and clearly invested in making sure every guest has a great experience.

You can tell this isn’t just a job for the entire staff— they take pride in what they do and in the people they serve.

The food is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is truly top-notch. This is the kind of place locals come back to again and again — and happily recommend to friends and visitors. The Sandbar is our favorite restaurant!

A little pricey but the lobster roll was 10/10 and worth it

My boyfriend and I came down to Ana Marie island from st Pete for lunch on the water. This place exceeded our expectations and some! Emilie was our waitress and did a phenomenal job! She provided great recommendations and overall exceptional service. Our lunch date was perfect and we will definitely be back. Atmosphere was 10/10.

Had a lovely dinner celebrating my anniversary. TINA was our server and she went above and beyond. She made us feel like family and recommended some incredible dishes such as the Hogfish with polenta, bairdi crab legs, and grouper beachside. She’s incredibly personable and made our night even more special ☺️

I feel that $48 for 4 drinks is pricy for single pours. Food was good but not excellent, Anna Maria Oyster Bar was less expensive for an equally if not nicer meal. A Happy Hour at The Sandbar would help alleviate the big drink tab. We had a reservation even though we ate early. Appreciate the free valet parking! Marybeth our server was excellent.

Great location, but the ambiance was more mess-hall. My snapper was awesome but the drinks were sub-standard and over priced
