    A must try is a dirty gin martini with blue cheese stuffed olives!
    Johnny S.

    Service and Drinks are solid. Calamari for a starter is above average. Atmosphere is clean, comfortable and a bit of a time warp back to ole Palm Springs! My wife and I went for drinks and dinner but had such a pleasant experience at the bar that we stayed put and had martinis and calamari while the piano man played the hits. Valet parking up front. Public parking is across the street. Come see why the locals call this place home.

    Neal and Valarie.

    I've lived in the desert since 2011, and this was literally my second time at The Sandbar. The food is amazing, and the live music by Bill Baker is super fun! But nothing tops the service from Valarie! She is amazing! She's extremely easy on the eyes and wonderfully friendly! Especially when she nicknames you "princess"! ‍ Sandbar in Old Town La Quinta is definitely on the rotation.

Autumn and Rebecca were both wonderful and appeased my feigned embarrassment when my delicious and enormous Brie appetizer. Fantastic service and very much enjoyed my experience.

    Food is delicious!…read more Service was horrible. Mother's Day my husband and I made a reservation for 4 o'clock. We were told the only available table was a high top in the bar, no problem we like sitting in the bar. We walked in at 3:50 PM, two couples at the bar. no one at the high tops and two tables in the dining room were taken. The bar tender came over took our drink order, brought the drinks back. We ordered the brie cheese platter and also put in our dinner order. 2 Caesar salads, one with salmon, one with steak. At 4:20 we flagged down a waitress to let her know that we hadn't gotten our brie yet. And just to be clear, it wasn't packed and two couples that came in 15 minutes after us were already getting their appetizers. She quickly went straight to whom we assume was the manager, and he let us know that the kitchen lost our ticket and the brie would be right up. He also offered to take my eight dollar glass of wine off the bill. Brie came- 4;28, it was delicious. As we were finishing up the brie, the manager came over and asked if we'd like to order anything else.‍ I explained that in fact we had ordered when we ordered the Brie . Then they scrambled to get our salads made, with the steak and salmon. It's really sad that the Service ruined it for us to not return there because the food was good. They could have done so much more to fix the awful awful service that we got, but they didn't.

    What a great La Quinta club to be a part of while they are in process of implementation of another…read morereset of a master plan which has had a few issues over the decades. Golf here is great being a local as is the Grill. YELP SHORT ANSWER: Yes, you are welcome at our very nice Grill space. LOCATION: The Grill is not the fanciest but it is very nice with a little patina here and there. We don't need fancy and everything that comes with it. At some point in time, this will all be a very fancy destination resort with resort pricing. Until then, we love it at Silver Rock. FACILITY: Older but functional. Outdoor seating is awesome. MENU: It is a golf club menu but trust me, it is all very good. FOOD PREP: Excellent but not overdone, I'd say perfect. FOOD QUALITY: Has always been way better than other fancy nearby clubs who offer way overpriced items that don't taste expensive but are.. LIBATIONS: This is our spot, on the deck, feet up, enjoying breakfast or the sun setting behind the mountains. WAITSTAFF: HELLO - HELLO these people are a collection of the greatest happy people ever to have worked in a restaurant grill like this. They remember us and are always super nice even on busy golf days. I hope they are appreciated in their paychecks and not just on tips... OVERALL VALUE: Very good. TIP: The sum of all parts here is amazing. See it for what it is today and what it will become. Love this place!

    Such a quaint place to stop in for breakfast, sit on patio enjoy the scenery. Service was great!…read moreFood is delicious and the staff friendly. And DOG FRIENDLY!!! The only draw back are the unfinished homes around the property.

Our server and service was pretty good. The atmosphere was ok and what you'd expect for that kind of place. What really disgusted me were ALL of the FLIES. It was gross. If you want to feel like you're camping or something then this is the place to go. We had to keep waving our hands around to shoo the flies away. I could not eat comfortably. I was so repulsed. The health department should go out there and with all of the Hantavirus in the news, they could really be a bit more vigilant. If they don't care about flies, what other bugs do they NOT care about in their KITCHEN?!?! Makes you wonder? I noticed they offer patio dining (in the 90 degree weather) and they kept the door propped open like permanently to let ALL of the FLIES INSIDE. The food was pretty good, most of it. We tried a lot of appetizers. The shrimp were good and flavorful but too small. The onion was way too salty. The chicken wings were excellent and the perfect amount of crispy on the outside while being juicy inside. The spinach dip was ok, but it was cold and super thick and a bit too salty. The outlaw ribeye was excellent. I loved the mashed potatoes. The simple side salad was excellent. The lobster tail was great. The rice pilaf, not so great. It was unlike any pilaf I've ever had with nasty herbs and vegetables inside. The desserts were excellent . I tried the salted Carmel cheesecake and the chocolate cake! The food is great, but bring a portable, retractable fly swatted, those portable pop up netted food covers for picnics and those little fly fans because you're going to need them here!
