Loved eating here today. Amazing food, amazing service, and a beautiful setting. Very fair prices too!I had the shrimp kebob, and cheesecake
This is a really nice place to go to, we wanted to go to the restaurant which is just above and by mistake. We entered that one and that was perfect choice. Food is really good and I really enjoyed the service also.
Congratulations to Sandy's on their 8 year on the beach!! We've been lucky enough to enjoy the food, drinks and location for just about the same amount of time. Most of all though, we've enjoyed getting to know the Sandy's team over the years. Fabulous people everyone of them! Attached is a photo of the first of many (too many??) MaiTai's enjoyed over the years taken in November of 2017. Also, it's November, remember to get the Turkey Balls! Terrific!!! Cheers!!!
The Chicken Piccata was delicious and the service was top tier. We had a large group and the service was speedy and precise! Ice cold Happy Dads and chill vibes! Will be back soon!
Service, ambiance, and food were amazing! We had a large group and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. I ordered the chorizo skillet for breakfast, my husband ordered the breakfast burrito, and our dog ordered the chicken plate with kibble. All that being said, this place is a must when visiting Huntington Beach!
Great fish taco options. I tried the swordfish taco and it tasted really delicious! Staff is friendly and service was great. The vibe and views are amazing.
Food was so good and fresh! The ahi poke stack was great, shrimp kabobs were delightful, a little salty but super good. All the servers had great attitudes. Got the tsunami.
Wow for our first time to have a great delicious meal and super great service. Dog friendly location. Omg the food you all must try. Sorry forgot to take a pox of the foods and drinks. We will back again soon!
This is a great place right at the beach! To be honest: I didn’t expect such good food in a „beach cafe“. I was positively surprised! All the dishes were super fresh, very tasty, the sweet potato fries were crunchy! Our server Lisa was friendly, attentive & always with a smile. Thank you!
Usually if I have negative things to say about a restaurant that does most things well is that it's just too expensive. And you add the fact it's Newport Beach Huntington Beach. Then you know it's going to be expensive. And it's not cheap. There's no doubt about that but it wasn't outrageous. Their signature cocktails or 1617 bucks but they were strong enough. Same thing with the food good. It's really good and reasonable for the environment that you're in and that's the kicker the environment that you're in. This place sits below Duke's right next to the Huntington Beach Pier. It's right on the water. Essentially views are great. Atmosphere is great. Chill and pleasant. The food was as I said pretty good to really good. They had this turkey ball thing that was delicious. Kind of like Thanksgiving dinner and a little ball of potatoes cranberry sauce, turkey. Delicious! That's what my wife had. I had the mahi tacos and they were also very good and not cheap but not crazy. Finally, when you're looking at a restaurant and trying to review it, service can be critical, especially if the other narratives are not great. Here the restaurant was a great experience. I really enjoyed it but the cherry on top was the service. Now, she did not have a lot of tables so she was able to dedicate time to us but she did and she was nice. Sweet, informative and just a very good server. Super five stars. Usually reserved for White table, restaurants, Michelin star restaurants where the food is. Just fantastic and this food was very good but it's all the ancillary things. Every single thing about it was good. I didn't even mention the fact that the TV situation if you don't want to sit on the patio is really good to watch football games. Great Bar bartender. They knocked it out of the park at least the night we were there.
