Awesome Bar! Food was delicious and the service was top tier. They also allow kids which is a great perk in this area since most bars don’t.

I don’t even have words because you won’t believe me. This place is epic. Go for the food, the vibe, the view, the service. But DANGA! That’s all I can say. Amazing. Cannot wait to come back through again one day.

Unfortunately we didn’t sit in the bar area where all the waitstaff was serving. Went for Father’s Day we literally walked in and NO ONE was there. Took the server at least 5 mins to come and greet us…almost felt we were not supposed to be there. No greeting..nothing. Ordered food and our appetizer came when all our meals came. Took forever ever to get the waitress over to the table to bring refills let alone check on us during the whole visit. Felt bad asking for salt and pepper…ended up walking to the bar where the waitstaff was to ask a second time for refills. I personally wished yall focused on all your guests instead of those that were making you money at the bar. But good food.

Been here a few times. Love the place. Ordered a couple of hazys, a Bodhi, a Coors Light, a shot of Johnny Walker Red, and grilled turkey sandwich. $56.35 was the bill

Loved the atmosphere. Food was great and reasonably priced.

The Spar has good food and a nice atmosphere, but this is the 2nd time I've been here, and both times, service has been lacking.
The restaurant was not busy, and it would seem easy to touch base with your guests at the bar when you go by. But to just walk on by, don't make eye contact, chit chat with friends in the bar, and have another worker, finally deliver your wings, Luke warm... at best... not great service. I can't think of a time I've received wings this cold.
Once again, the place is nice, the food is good, even cold. Maybe just someone having a bad day, tired or not feeling well. But I'm hoping for a better experience next time.

Delicious food and very friendly staff! It's got a beautiful view of the water too!
I got the French Dip, my dad got the burger of the week, and my vegetarian-only mom got the Caesar salad. Everything was great and I loved the French Dip sandwich.

We were aggressively yelled at by the man that applies the felt on the pool tables because we were supposed to place felt squares under the white ball when playing (which I’ve never heard before) it was incredibly rude, then his wife said we should keep them in our pocket like condoms!!!!! This person works there. I left my name and number for the owner of manager to call me, all I wanted was an apology, because this was not okay. No one ever called. This is a senior citizen crowd, think 60s and 70s, we are in our 40s (so not young) and they made us feel out of place. Food is decent, and view is amazing, but you run the risk of being harassed aggressively by staff and they don’t seem to care if they offend you.
