Sand Bar

A truly outstanding restaurant and experience! Despite now being guests at the hotel, we were welcomed for lunch with easy graciousness. Service was on point, the food delicious, and the views were amazing! We will be back for lunch and cocktails on Monday…

Sand Bar is always our go-to in St. Barths. We dine here multiple times throughout our stay, and it never disappoints. Located at the stunning Eden Rock Hotel, the ocean views are beautiful, the ambiance is effortless and chic, and the food is consistently spectacular. It’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or simply enjoying drinks at the Rémy Bar. Every experience feels special. For the last five years, Sand Bar has always been our first stop the evening we arrive—a tradition we love. We usually gather around a large table filled with beautiful family and friends, making it the perfect start to our time on the island. A true St. Barths classic and an absolute must every visit.

We came for lunch with a large group on a Saturday afternoon and had a nice leisurely meal. Upon being seated we ordered several appetizers for the table to share including the truffle pizza, crispy salmon sushi, Philly steak special and the shrimp. Apps were good but the standouts were the crispy salmon sushi and the Philly steak. For my main I ordered the kale and broccoli salad as well as the hamachi ceviche and both of them were pretty delicious. My friends were underwhelmed by the cheeseburger, club sandwich and classic Caesar salad but others enjoyed the lobster salad and the chicken. Their espresso martini also had a super cute presentation . The view from the dining room was spectacular but the service was a bit inattentive overall. Would still always recommend this spot to friends and come back when we are in town.

The good: The food and drinks were excellent, and the lively atmosphere made for a fun experience. The restaurant is beautiful, with a stunning view of the ocean. The bad: Unfortunately, the service didn’t live up to expectations. The place seemed understaffed, and while our waiter was friendly, he was constantly rushing between tables and didn’t check in often enough to make the experience feel smooth. We ordered turbot and Dover sole, but he dropped off the food so quickly and left without giving us any sauces included with the meals. At one point, I had to ask for someone to clean the puddle of condensation from my drink off the table, and it took over 30 minutes before anyone asked if I wanted another drink. These were minor details, but they added up and detracted from our experience. I hope it was just an off night because, overall, the restaurant is fantastic.

Where to start? Our reservations were for a party of 10, we made reservations weeks in advance. Arrived 15 minutes prior to reservations. The restaurant was pretty empty. the server brought out 2 battles of wayter for the entire table and disappeared. It took 45 minutes for my drink to arrive. We had 3 bottles of wine before appetizers arrive. Well over 2 hours after we sat. Over an hour later our entrees began to arrive. For only half the table!!! The restaurant had 6 tables at most. I ordered the lam. It arrived cold. The other half of our group waited 15 minutes for their food. My aide arrived 20 minutes after my dinner. The manager blamed the kitchen and gave us 10% off the bill which was $2700 after the “discount.” It was horrible. Server never came around. Dishes were not picked up. She was MIA. Would not recommend or return.

I'm shocked to see only 2 reviews for that restaurant. It's one of the best on the island. Attached to the eden rock hotel. It was packed when I went there. The place is beautiful and fancy just the way I like it. The view on the beach was amazing. The food we had was also very good. I had an avocado pizza, octopus and a bunch of sashimi. I had a really good bloody Caesar and champagne. If you're not rich, this place would be expensive for you but it's definitely worth a try.

Absolutely one of the finest restaurants on St. Barths. Truly a gem. Outstanding service and very well executed, yet simple, dishes.

We had a delightful dinner at the Sand Bar. The sole was amazing and the mashed potatoes absolutely ridiculously good. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the whole experience.
