Unique piano bar restaurant, with limited tables which makes for a lively tight-knit atmosphere with high-quality custom drinks, top-shelf options, and classical menu options with a twist. Iconic Old Town La Quinta venue, there’s nothing else like this!

Old school restaurant and bar. Food is great as well as the service. Reasonably priced with good wine list and cocktails. Music is appropriate for the setting. One of our favorite places in La Quinta. Wonderful view from the front patio

Very good food, and lively place full of faithful patrons enjoying themselves. Unfortunately we came as first-timers to enjoy grand piano music. The instrument was an electronic keyboard. Very disappointing. Hard to hear the music over the din of the crowd.

OMG don’t know why it took so long to go here for dinner, in Oldtown La Quinta. Live music in the bar, crowded, noisy, Friday night party, and great, simple dishes.

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!

Bob Cunard has sold it and new owner is remodeling a bit over the summer. Doesn’t plan to change much… Service and food were good. Bob Baker’s music is great. (Just FYI, a bit loud for conversation in bar area, but quieter in other rooms.) Valet parker, Dean, terrific!
