Had an amazing lunch at The Sandbar! We were warmly greeted, the terrace was sunny and perfect, and the daiquiri was delicious. We had the shrimp pesto linguine and the bistro alfredo with shrimp — both dishes were full of flavor and so satisfying. Great service, great vibes. Highly recommend!

Fabulous restaurant on the end of the pier. Indoor and outdoor dining with many views of the straight! Food was fabulous as was the service. Highly recommended

Great location at Pointe-du-Chêne near the wharf. The seafood chowder was awesome. I loved my fish & chips. My spouse enjoyed her lobster roll but she gave 11 over 10 to the chowder. Excellent service all around. Recommended!

We came for an early dinner on a long weekend. We were lucky to go early because when we left around supper time the lineup was long. Service was great. Very accommodating. We had a 5-year-old. The seafood platter was delicious. Market price at the time with $66. Not a big deal but I do wish they had some draft beer, specifically local, the beer they had was a decent selection but all in cans. Everyone enjoy their meal and I would definitely go back.

The Sandbar is hands down one of the best spots for seafood! The dishes were fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. What really sets this place apart is the patio — the view is absolutely beautiful, the kind of setting that makes you want to stay for hours. Service was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Whether you’re going for a casual meal or a special night out, The Sandbar delivers both amazing food and an unbeatable atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Stopped here on our way to PEI. I ordered the lobster platter and it was great. The lobster, shrimp, and muscles were cooked to perfection and had great flavor. The crab cake was amazing. My wife had the fish and chips and she really likes it. Great food, service, and location.

SO MUCH FUN! Great seaside food, boatside food and all the local treats you love... scallops, haddock, lobster. Lots of happy diners, lots of joyful noise and smiles. Your smile can be here too! Back again, can't stay away. In the peak off summer now, place is really rocking ! Kids jumping off the pier with a smiling audience ... so much fun!!
