“I hate to share that this is my favorite restaurant because we can always get a seated whenever we go there.  And I also hate to say this because of jinx myself, but I've never had a bad meal there and we've been going there for years.  Not only are the meals prepared so perfectly the meat is perfectly cooked, he vegetables are perfectly roasted. The staff is a professional crew. We were lucky to have Natasha last night as our server and she was top notch, friendly, funny, a perfect combination of professional and personable.  I love to watch the interaction in the kitchen, the servers, the busers, and it's like a symphony. I love this restaurant so much that I wrote to the owners when a restaurant in Newburyport was closing, asking them to consider opening a spot there, it didn't happen, but I'm still going to work on it!“

“This summer, my experiences at The Sandbar have been nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the incredible team of bartenders: Pavel, Scott, Curtiss, Dani, and Katy. Their dedication to providing outstanding service is truly commendable.

Despite the long hours and back-to-back shifts in sometimes very hot conditions, they always serve with a smile. Their commitment to ensuring every guest has a great time is evident in every interaction. The food is consistently hot and delicious, and the atmosphere is enhanced by their genuine care and attention. They have treated us like family .

Pavel, Scott, Curtiss, Dani, and Katy have made each visit to The Sandbar a memorable one. Their hard work and positive attitudes create an inviting and enjoyable environment that keeps us coming back. The stunning view is just the cherry on top of the fantastic service and delectable food.

Kudos to this awesome crew for making The Sandbar a top-notch destination. Their remarkable service and dedication are truly appreciated!“

“Just a quick note from someone who never writes reviews. Sitting at The Beach Plum with my three kiddos and so impressed and grateful for the wonderful service we’ve received here. We had a tiny issue with one meal which was immediately acknowledged and fixed tenfold. Two members of the team checked on us several times after to make sure we were doing okay and then sent us home with an extra meal for later on the house. My kids learned a great lesson on wonderful and kind customer service and The Beach Plum will continue to be a favorite spot for us! Thank you!!“

The family ordered 2 subs, ziti with chicken, a chicken sandwich, French fries and onion rings. The portions were generous especially the fries and onion rings. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The staff were extremely friendly and engaged us in conversation while they prepared our food. Will definitely order again when in the area.“
