Iāve ordered from them a couple times but this time the wrong food was delivered. Less than a minute after the skip the dishes guy left the manager called & said we got the wrong order & he was on his way with the proper food! The food is always delicious & now we have a weeks worth of food! Great accountability from this restaurant! You wonāt be disappointed!

When you order their perch it is not local perch it comes from Europe and they charge the same prices that other restaurants charge for our local perch. Why do you not support local industry? We are the centre of perch industry here in Canada why are these restaurants bringing in perch from other countries such as Europe and Russia? But charging same prices of local perch….Very very disappointing because it’s a great location.

The service was fantastic. Our waitress was attentive in a non-overbearing way. It was a chilly day, so we dined in, but the patio facing the water looked lovely.
I had the chicken fricassee, and the chicken breast was the best I ever had. It was tender and perfectly seasoned, sitting on a bed of deliciously fluffy rice. The cloves of roasted garlic and cherry tomatoes rounded out the dish with extra richness and refreshing taste.
All the dishes we had were perfect, and we left feeling sated and satisfied both in our belly and wallet.

It was a beautiful sunny day and dining in the outdoors was a great experience. They have two areas outdoors...under umbrellas and the other on the porch. We were seated on the porch. I had a perch dinner and my friend a vegetarian wrap...both were terrific. They have a very large menu to choose from. The wait staff was very attentive. Well worth the trip from the city.

Great location on the water and staff were fast and friendly. We got the calamari as our app which was good not great but no complaints. We were disappointed with our perch and perch tacos. We order perch at a lot of local places and this was the worst perch we've had in quite some time. Simply no flavour. The location, atmosphere and staff make it worth a visit.

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Sandbar! The staff were extremely friendly. We loved sitting right near the river and watching the boats. The food was absolutely delicious and great portions for an awesome price. I had the jambalaya and the seafood in it was cooked really well. We really enjoyed our visit!

Had to wait a little to be served but definitely was worth the wait. Server was amazing… food was outstanding! Portions were unbelievably large. We ordered the sandbar caesars and man they did not disappoint!… On top of all of that we had a beautiful view sitting on the patio with the water and all the boats. Highly highly highly recommended!!

Decent place, atmosphere was good. Pretty basic, nothing fancy. I had the perch, which was lightly dusted as promised and tender; side salad was fresh and light. Everyone in my party seemed to enjoy their meals and the service was good. The halibut fish and chips looked very generous. I'd recommend trying to sit either outside or in the bar area, which both have a better vibe than the main dining room, which is where we were. Our table was a bit awkwardly placed and sticky. Overall a decent experience.

Was there to celebrate with our family of 3.The food was great,the beer was cold and the service was great.Our server was new he told us this off the top. All the staff working were young. How great to see our kids making money again.What wasn't great were the patrons. Between the demanding customers the umbrellas flying off the patio due to the wind people wanting a different table and the amount of steps from the kitchen to the patio..wow the servers did an excellent job. If you want a Michelin star restaurant go find one. Leave this for us regular people that are just happy to enjoy a great

Busy spot during the summer months, and have been here twice now and both times very tasty.
We bicycled about 25km each way there, so I decided to take down the two piece halibut. Stuffed! Huge pieces of juicy halibut fried to perfection.
Actually we couldn't wait, had to try the crab stuffed jalapeƱos. Very tasty and an interesting hoisin sauce.
Gf had the perch tacos which had a really nice chimmichurri type of sauce. (You yet three tacos, she had already eaten one before the pic).
Tartar sauce was really good too, nice dill flavour is the kicker.
Make a reservation if you want

Great place on the river to relax and enjoy some food/drinks.
We made reservations for a few days after entering Stage 3 of the lockdown. We were seated on the deck/patio overlooking the river/marina.
Atmosphere is very relaxed.
Our server was fantastic, friendly, efficient and polite.
2 in our group ordered burger and fries. They both said their burger patties seemed homemade.
Another in our group ordered 1 piece Halibut & chips. It came with coleslaw. he said the cut of Halibut was bigger than normal and cooked perfectly.
I ordered the Cajun wrap. It was good, nothing spectacular. I found

My husband and I went here for the first time and loved everything !! The restaurant is huge. There's a main dining area, a seperate bar side and also an outdoor patio right on the water. We were greeted right when we walked in which is a huge plus for me! Service was friendly and fast. We went with the date night option(Thursday special) for $50 You could pick an appetizer, 2 entrees and a dessert. My husband and I both went with the steak and it was perfectly cooked medium rare.This place could easily be somewhere you would go and dress up for a nice dinner or come straight off the water

The perch here is outstanding! The service here is phenomenal and the atmosphere is great! We had an issue with my credit card being declined as unbenounced to me, I did not have international use enabled. They were very understanding and we left knowing that our bill will be paid after contacting my bank. It was approved after we left. They were very understanding and their manager was very understanding. This is a great restaurant. Very nice people.

I always like coming to this local restaurant because it is right by my house... (about a 5 minute drive) the food is pretty good, but not over the top amazing! i always love coming here because the thin crust pizza is very good, probably one of my favourite pizzas. the scenery is very nice and enjoyable especially in the summer when you can sit on the deck by the boats... the staff is also very kind and polite every time i come! overall, this restaurant is pretty good and enjoyable!

We went here with a reservation on the 27th for a family members birthday The place was not that busy when we arrived, but we did ask for a waterfront table& ended up being seated right in the middle of the restaurant It got very busy very fast&although the server tried to keep up U could tell she was falling behind The food was just OK for the price The worst part is the server left the receipt on the table&didn't come back,so we left the tip on the table&I went to the area where U ck in I gave the girl the receipt&she promptly crumpled it up&tossed it in the garbage

We made reservations here for mothers day. I had never been here before but I had heard a lot of good things. If you're into the whole marine/aquatic atmosphere you'll like the decor. I had the fish and chips. I thought, given the atmosphere, it would be similar to English pub fair. I got a single piece of battered and fried fish about the size of the palm of my hand and a small portion french fries (the frozen kind that you buy at the grocery store). It was similar to what you would get at a mall food court only this was double the price (about $18). But whatever, you're paying
