Sandpiper Coastal Bar & Grill

Very nice atmosphere and very tasty food. Will definitely be coming back.

If you are in AC, and you need a fine dining experience at a reasonable price, then Sandpiper is the place to go. Everything on the menu was exquisite. They are small plates, but they are worth every penny. The tables are round, so it feels more intimate with your partner.
Lisa, our server was knowledgeable, nice, and amazing to have. Thank you for an amazing evening.

Pasquale and Ralph were very attentive and without them and their recommendations we wouldn’t have had such an amazing time!! We truly enjoyed the over all experience and will definitely be back!

Food was excellent. There were 4 of us and we split 6 plates. Personal favorites were the steak flatbread and Ahi tuna poke bowl. Guacamole was also very good and big enough to split for our “appetizer.” We also had the kielbasa and pierogi, flounder, and lamb ribs. Prices were reasonable and would definitely return.

We were able to get a last minute booking to the Sandpiper restaurant at the Hard Rock during our 4th of July weekend in AC. We wanted to catch the fireworks prior to eating dinner and got held up with the massive crowd on the boardwalk. Rescheduling from my mobile was a breeze and very accommodating. The Sandpiper restaurant offers an upscale dining experience. The ambiance was welcoming and friendly. Our server was extremely hospitable, engaging and attentive. She was also informational about the menu items and her service was exceptional. It turned out that the restaurant was brand new and had opened the day before for the first time. It was a privilege to be dining here on opening weekend. As for our dining experience, we had a couple of cocktails to celebrate our weekend and they were definitely tasty and refreshing. Our oysters were out of this world and packed with flavors. The combination of flavors left you wanting more so we ordered more :-). The stuffed clams were also delicious. For our main course, we had the lamb ribs which were superb and packed with flavor as well. These were definitely marinated for a while as indicated by our server. The roasted mojo chicken was a bit on the dry side hence the 4 stars. To finalize our dinner, we ordered the monkey bread. This offered an excellent end to an already wonderful evening. We ate it all and it was delicious. I would return just for the monkey bread :-).
Google does not allow a fractional star but this can be a 5 star dining experience with a bit of improvement on the menu item mentioned above. I do recommend this restaurant and will be visiting again in the near future.
