Cunard's Sandbar

Worst service of my entire life well alcohol it's awful they water down the vodka it's honestly gross

Amazing food and service! Love the Calamari and the Seafood Pasta is my favorite! I Love everything I have tried here! Oh had to also mention the great entertainment! Can't wait to go back!!

The Sandbar is the place to be for great food,service and entertainment. We have never been disappointed. It takes you back to the 70's when going out was so much more than just dinner. And don't forget to try the Apple cobbler!

This place has subpar food, outdated carpets and they're extremely anti Covid and mask friendly. I didn't feel safe in there and then afterwards several people in our party were sick

At first glance this place is bouncing with a senior crowd but upon eating there you learn that the service is not the selling point at all. The customer service (aka the manager) is truly unjust and not a personable woman. She is honestly not someone I would ever have representing my establishment as a restaurant owner. It's so sad to see a fun place going down the drain because of one woman's closed mindedness.

Food was great, music was fun and the waitress and valet staff were so good. Best customer experience we’ve had in the area so far!

Looks like a hole in the wall next to the gas station. This gem has been here for 40 years. We were encouraged to try this place by a couple locals and it did not disappoint. The food was so good, wine list was extensive, and Bill Baker in the bar was so entertaining. Do not miss this place on your Palm Springs visit.

We went with some friends who made the reservation for 5:30 PM on a Friday night. Place was full, but very very loud, especially with the piano playing. Could not have a conversation and had to yell across the table to communicate anything. Food was good, but not more than good. Service was very good, lots of staff to help! Wine list was wrong, and I tried explaining to our waiter that when the label has "California" as the AVA, it's not an "Alexander Valley" cab as the menu advertised. Their wine list is very pedestrian and small, on the back of the food menu.
Happy for

Love this place... great food, drinks and Bill always makes you feel like he is just there to sing to you

Such a warm place! The owner made sure to find room to accomodate our party of 7 + 3 dogs, even though it was a busy Friday night. The food was delicious and the staff wonderful. Thank you for making our night out such a wonderful one!

MY husband and I went here on our first date night in FOREVER, and boy did we make the right choice. From the phenomenal service, amazing music, and fabulous food, it was a night to remember. I had the fried chicken and is was soooooo good!! My husband had the short ribs, and those were fabulous as well! We even went home with some of their fresh baked bread!!! I highly, highly recommend this place!!

It's a very nice place and if I was 20 years older I would probably swoon. The food was fine but very traditional in that the salad was iceberg, the veggies were bias cut medley by which the freezer isle is inspired and pasta was abundant. I had the shrimp scampi. Sauce was no where to be found but the shrimp were big and juicy. My SO's veal picata was pretty good, but again lacking in any creativity or modern flair.

Not only the food was fantastic but the service was outstanding. Owner is such a nice person. He went above and beyond to place our large group on a private section without any reservation on a packed Friday evening.

Do not be fooled, this place knows what they're doing.
Great service, great food and a wonderful time. I was part of a big group this past weekend for a wedding, and I was very happy with how friendly the staff was and how quaint it is inside! We all sat on the back patio (BEAUTIFUL setup!) and we had a spectacular weekend.

We are LA transplants and love the Pacific Dining Car and Taylor's. Cunard's is their LOVE CHILD! Order the calamari just to enjoy the bed of cole slaw! The calamari BTW is the BEST ever!

Ask for Melanie! She is AMAZING! She earns the title of HONORARY Sommelier! The Mer Soleil Silver UNOAKED Chardonnay is FABULOUS! We consider ourselves Chardonnay connoisseurs until MELANIE schooled us!

Ordered the prime rib and shrimp scampi pasta. It has yet to arrive. Let's just say it will be FABULOUS!

Old school bar, live music, great ambience! CUNARD'S SANDBAR IS AN ABSOLUTE

The sandbar is a great dinner experience with the friendliest and honest staff in the valley. The service is excellent and the food is phenomenal and consistent every time. A great hole in the wall to enjoy live piano music at the bar or enjoying the open air patio. A must stop in La Quinta!

Best SandDabs in the Desert. Also, fun bar with live piano & guest appearance singers! Classic old school lounge & dining. It's a regular stop for my wife & I; and we enjoy taking guests there.

Great staff. Great food. Love the fruit cobblers for desert. Also really good fried chicken.

A proven winner for many years, but I never knew they had such a large outdoor seating area outback. Under a perfect desert moon on the last 80 degree evening of the season, I ordered my go to Steve's brown butter sole. An enormous piece that had fresh spinach and mashed potatoes underneath, it was as good as always.

I love this place. We take ever visitor in town the mr canards place. It's a staple in la quinta. Great small business and family. Wonderful service and amazing food.

Just moved to La Quinta and are exploring new restaurants and heard many people recommend the Sandbar so 4 of us gave it a try. I heard the bar / piano scene was great but we couldn't get a table in that room so we sat just outside in the dining area. From the moment we walked in the the hostess was friendly and sat us down on time. Our waitress approached us immediately and took our drink order. She was friendly and very knowledgeable about the restaurant and the menu. All 4 dinners were large in portion size and extremely tasty. Our bill came in at just over $200 for the 4 of us which

A trip into the past but still relevant. Sandbar is a place that could have entertained the wack pack, celebrities and local mobsters. But even today, they pack in the crowds, serve great martinis and food that puts a smile on your face. Service is wonderful to cap things off. Highly recommended!

Haven't been to the Sandbar for years, got together with our friends for Christmas dinner. Have to say very dissatisfied, service was ok, price point for what you get is high, food is mediocre, pasta dishes are $30 and it's not even homemade, had the clam chowder that was made by the chef and it was warm and I can make a better chowder!
So, food ok, priced too high, way to many other restaurants in the desert at that price point that are very good with food and service!!! Ambience is 80's and the bathrooms are disgusting! Host was always on the phone and took a phone call instead

Amazing staff, food and drinks. I can't rave enough about this wonder gem we have in the cove! We had the most wonderful dinner party and felt so welcomed! Its definitely going to be our it please from now on!

FABULOUS FOOD...
We will definitely be back...
Great reserved seats for four at 7:00...11/8/18

Enjoyed our evening with you...
We didn't go into the bar to listen to music, but next time for sure...
