Excellent Food, Service, and Ambiance We had a wonderful dining experience! Upon arrival, we were promptly seated by the window, offering an incredible view of the sand, ocean, and pier--such a serene setting to enjoy a meal. Although it took a little while for our server to arrive, it gave us time to look over the menu and be ready to order both drinks and meals when she came. When the food arrived, everything was served at the perfect temperature. We ordered 2 Caesar salads, one side Caesar salad, 3 cups of clam chowder, and a kids' cheese pizza with a side of fries and ranch. The clam chowder was served first, and it was a standout! Each bite was rich, flavorful, and had a mild spice that elevated the dish. Next came the entrees: the Caesar salads were fantastic, featuring pickled onions, fried capers, parmesan cheese, and crunchy croutons (on one of the salads). The balance of flavors was just right. The kids' cheese pizza was a hit--it had a thick, crunchy base and was generously cheesy. The only minor hiccup was that the cheese tended to slide off a bit when bitten into, but it was still delicious. The fries were perfectly crispy and paired wonderfully with the ranch. The combination of great food, friendly service, and a stunning oceanfront view made for an unforgettable experience. We'll definitely return for another meal in this relaxing and scenic spot!

Sandy's was a nice stop for us on our bike ride down the coast. Minimum wait, nice staff, tasty chow, shade or sun if you are outside (recommended).

We loved our experience at Sandy's! We shared the seafood platter and had drinks. It was NYE and they had decorations, party hats, and blowers on the table. A nice little surprise that we were not expecting. Our server was great. Very personable, friendly, and attentive. We attempted to go here a few times during previous trips to Huntington and could not get a reservation.

Love this place, the steel drummer Danny is thee perfect way to end the weekend, Sunset, Reggae & the beach! Great staff, Elijah the bartender & Courtney asst general manager with an incredible smile Danny is a great entertainer & his music can't help but make your holiday season more joyful

This is a fantastic spot located beneath Duke's, offering beautiful views and cool live performances. The food is high quality, and the customer service is excellent. Everyone is incredibly friendly, and you can enjoy a refreshing ocean breeze alongside delicious dishes. They have a great variety of drinks and a nice selection of appetizers, so whether you're stopping by for a full meal or just an appetizer and drink, you won't be disappointed. We parked in Lot 17 for $15 on a Sunday--it was a fun day with a nice long walk! Parking farther gives you more scenic views and a little exercise before indulging in the vibrant, flavorful dishes.

We had never been here before. It's smack on the beach. Beach parking is expensive and they're constantly monitoring so be careful! We were seated rignt away. They have a great heated patio. We placed our order and it came out very quickly. I ordered the chicken piccatta. Soo much chicken! The sauce is amazing. Broccolini was amazing, four pieces. I love broccollini. I love pasta. I love chicken. Amazing dish. My mom ordered a lettuce wrapped burger. Her only gripe was that it wasn't salty/seasoned enough. Overall, I wouldn't mind returning!

Relaxed vibe on a weekday lunch time. Big dog friendly and my pup loves it here! He gets lots of attention - LOL. He also gives his full four paw approval for their large chicken/kibble bowl. Service is always awesome, you can't beat the view (today there were fighter jets showing off/buzzing the beach,) and the food is awesome. They should bottle that habanero salsa! Street, small lot or $9 Valet parking. After lunch, walk the pier and soak up that sun. #surfcity

A classic restaurant on the beach with a great view! We came on a Tuesday night around 7pm and were seated immediately for a table for two. However, it took over 15 minutes for our waitress to come by even after letting another worker know that we were ready to order. Once we ordered though, our food came out within 5 minutes. The food was relatively expensive for the quality in my opinion, but the portions are decent. We ordered: Ceviche 7/10: solid ceviche with avocado. The wonton chips were super super crunchy and good with the ceviche. Mahi tacos 8/10: the tacos were exactly what I wanted and expected! The fish was grilled and seasoned really well and I also liked the spicy habanero salsa. I wish there were options for the side besides the kale slaw, like they have for the burgers and sandwiches.
