I have dined here several times and food is delicious and consistent. The service is friendly and fast. Nice quiet atmosphere. I love the crispy chicken sandwich and the fact you have several choices of sides, not just fries. Today I had green beans with a lovely flavor. My friend and I split the sandwich (a small up charge) and split a beet salad (super delicious!) Sorry I ate the salad before getting a photo. read more

Sand Point Grill - Crispy Chicken Sandwich and green bean side (split order) - New American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Oh man, how was this place empty when we got there. Odd time of day and day of week maybe, but the food was consistently excellent and the staff attentive and friendly. Loved the Reuben. It had a healthy amount of meat and balanced sauce and sauerkrout . Fries were crisp and fluffy, well salted and great for some mustard or ketchup dipping. Usually when you ask for anchovies at a restaurant you get one or two weak ones, or they are super boney. Here we got a whole school topping the salad, big and with the best soft bones so you just eat them up. Great salad. It's been a while so I can't talk to the other dishes as well but I know we left there with all four of us excited to come back for more. read more

Delicious! Amazing service! The right amount of check-ins and very immediate water refills! I hardly noticed my water go down! Highly recommend the Reuben(; read more

After nearly 20 years of coming here (through multiple ownership changes) we've decided it's time to stop trying to recapture the wonderful experiences we once had. Unfortunately, the quality has declined to the point where it no longer feels worth the effort. The food is now significantly overpriced for what you get. Service is generally friendly, but inconsistent. One visit about six months ago stands out: we waited over 10 minutes after being seated with no acknowledgment, and eventually walked out. It wasn't even busy. Most recently, we were seated near the window when someone came in and asked to watch the baseball game. The staff turned the bar TV volume up so loud it was difficult to have a conversation. While we understand it's a sports-friendly environment, that level of noise didn't match the pricing or atmosphere we expected. Sports bars don't usually serve burgers that cost $26. We could have moved, but didn't anticipate such a dramatic change for one patron. We're grateful for the great memories over the years, but it's clear the experience has shifted, and not in a direction that works for us anymore. read more

They permit me to set the record straight. I was born in 1961. I worked my way from dishwasher to kitchen manager in 30 years. I can say that the Sandpoint Grill has got their shit together. During my dishwashing retirement phase, I saw everything that goes on in the kitchen. Is is normally crew, but one that is truly gather that make sure that the food goes out right on tight, as look as the better than the menu describes so that your dinner experience is entirely memorable. No, I do not work for them, but I did, and I can assure you that your dedication to a perfect meal is presentable and very delicious, having taken the time to make sure your enjoyable is picture perfect as it can he can be. Only open five hours a night, this is the "Place above" at you and your date are looking for, for a wonderful memorable night out that will long past memory years. I was glad to be a part of it. read more

The setting is terrific- quiet, nicely decorated, they show art work of local artists, usually folks from Laurel hurst eating dinner. They have a very good bartender with Boddie's on tap. We have gone to this restaurant over the past 15 years but the most recent owners have hired a chef with a heavy hand. Had the cioppino recently and it looked and tasted more like spaghetti sauce with fish and shellfish. Last week had a fish bowl (fish+sauce over ricce) and again the sauce was too heavy. It is a great location and great family atmosphere- just wish they had a different chef. read more

Ownership and staff are amazing. Everything I have tried on their menu is great. Looking forward to trying their new brunch on the weekends!

Great restaurant. Food was wonderful. Was a great retreat while spending a lot of time at the Children's Hospital

Cozy, neighborhood place. Not fine dining, but it is a comfortable and welcoming restaurant with something on the menu for everyone. Portions are generous and tasty! I loved the red sauce on the meatloaf, and the maple old fashioned was a great accompaniment. Also highly recommend the apple bake for dessert. Yum!! Service was friendly and fast too. Would recommend and return! read more

Neighborhood restaurant. Easy parking. Amazing service. One of the best Rueben's in town!!

Food was ok the service was fine . And the waiter was very helpful while we ordered. We had him explain what was is some of the food on the menu. read more

Have been coming here for 20+ years. Haven't been in a while. Service is always friendly but now almost a little too casual. Steak salad, which I used to love, showed up with the thinnest strips of meat I've ever had on a salad and didn't taste like quality steak. No avocados available for nachos or taco bowl. Disappointed. read more

We love so many things about Sand Point Grill. The food, drinks and service are great. We can walk there from our house so it's one of our favorite outings as a family to head there for a meal. Unfortunately, it's just gotten too expensive. The kids menu is the most expensive I've seen in Seattle and I'm not really sure why. It seems to be normal portions. And for adults, it's just getting hard to justify spending $34 on a small salad with a little piece of protein on it. I've spoken to a lot of families in the area and they all had recent stories about how shocked they were when they got the bill. I want Sand Point Grill to stay, it's such a wonderful place, but unless the prices give a little I'm worried they will start to see a decline (especially with families). Maybe it's just the price of food and wages and this is just how it is! But there are many surrounding restaurants that we can eat at for way less. read more

So many delicious dinner items. Friendly staff and friendly owner. Try the fried chicken sandwich and cauliflower wings!

Food was very good, had a nice evening here. Service was a little slow at the beginning but they were very friendly. Overall a good experience would definitely go back. read more

do not eat here! expensive besides strange food. had cioppino. weird sauce, not a soup. it had potatoes and 4 mussels, and some white fish, very little of it. no other fish, no shrimp, no clams. Horrible. read more

We tried Sand Point Grill last week for dinner and we're very disappointed. I hope it was just an off night! Food: * Potato skins were delicious (5/5) * Chicken sandwich was ok, nothing special (3.5/5) * Lamb bolognese was terrible (1/5) - prominent flavors were bread and carrots. I think they might have changed the chef or recipe, but it's pretty bad. Pasta was cooke well, but I couldn't taste the lamb and it had no discernible tomato for a "tomato sauce". Avoid this dish! Drinks: Mediocre. My husband ordered the old fashioned (not well balanced - way too sweet) and then a gin & tonic (meh) Service: Pretty sure our waitress was in training, she was really nice but made a lot mistakes... including delivering our food to the wrong table. Unfortunately I'm not sure we will come back, but maybe for the HH and those potato skins. I really hope they can turn things around! read more

Yum! A neighbor had recommended this restaurant to me a couple of years ago and I kind of forgot about it. Thankfully I remembered and was able to try it out this week! I got here just after 5pm before the dinner rush and tried their Stoup porter (amazing!) as well as the soup of the day (a bunch of veggies pureed with a sort of curry apple flavor and a drizzle of truffle oil. I was nice and satiated by the time my friend arrived to join me. We shared the bruschetta (unique take on this traditional appetizer!) I loved the pomegranate and goat cheese. We also shared the quicos (large corn nuts) dish and enjoyed those very much. For dinner I had the fish tacos but opted to go without the flour tortillas in favor of greens. It ended up being a nice ahi salad - perfect! I tasted the chicken penne pasta dish my friend ordered and it was delightful as well. We finished the meal with the gelatiamo ice cream in cookies and cream and almond flavors (comes with molasses cookies baked fresh and delicious!) Great customer service and lovely dining setting. Looking forward to future visits to this lovely establishment! Parking is available in the City People lot or along Sand Point Way. read more

Stopped in on a rainy Friday night. The maple syrup Old Fashioned started the meal off perfectly, along with the friendly service. Chill, family friendly vibe, good food at reasonable prices. The serving sizes (SW fried chicken salad, Rueben) were just right- and what a treat to see potato skins on the menu! Will be back soon! read more

Nice, quiet, and cozy neighborhood restaurant. Perfect for weekend date nights or dinner with friends. We tried them out for dinner and found both the food and service were excellent. Reservations were fairly easy through Open Table. The restaurant is on Sand Point Way and there's both street and private lot parking available. There was no wait time and we were immediately seated upon arrival. The menu looked very promising. We started with a round of cocktails and I ordered the maple walnut old fashioned. We ordered the meat and cheese board for our appetizer. For the entrees, we ordered the cioppino and buttermilk fried chicken. The meat and cheese tray was interesting. There were not a lot of meats or cheeses, however an abundance of quicos (giant fried corn kernels). The cioppino was tasty and had a generous amount of fresh fish. The buttermilk chicken was my favorite. It was fried to perfection and served on top of mashed potatoes with a side of haricot vert. Needless to say both dishes were filling and we forgot to leave room for dessert. The staff were prompt, personable, and consistently checked in on our meal. I would not hesitate to return to this restaurant. read more

Lovely gastro pub with a neighborhood feel. I went with a couple of buddies looking for something simple with a full bar. They have a great selection of super yummy food, on-point, quick and friendly service, and a clean and open vibe. I do recommend the wagyu sliders and potato skins. Otherwise, you can't go wrong. Food for any occasion, lunch, dinner, family, business, etc. read more

When I want to have a nice low key atmosphere , relax and enjoy and cocktail and enjoy dinner, this is one of my "go to" restaurants. Staff is very nice, bartender is great, they really add that personal touch while you are there. We have enjoyed many meals here from there fabulous linguini, fish and chips, superb reuben, and oh those potato skins and more! if you want some good comfort meals, I recommend stopping in. They have limited hours and can get quite busy but we have always been able to get a table. Love having this restaurant in the neighborhood! read more

Raving about the SAND POINT GRILL! The pork chop in sweet marsala sauce was out of this world and I can't stop thinking about it! My neighbor had the Churrasco steak that was prepared perfectly. We begin with the smoked salmon spread with olive tapenade which would have been worth the trip all on its own, followed by Caesar salads that would rival the most authentic of italian restaurants! Mine was a BBT (added bacon, Beecher's cheddar and tomato), and now I'm afraid I can never go back to a plain old Caesar again. The crème brûlée, my favorite dessert, was probably one of the best I've ever had. This little restaurant goes above and beyond in the quality food department, and their service was equally outstanding. Topped off with great cocktails and Seattle-trivia artwork that had us skipping down memory lane, it's safe to say I can't wait to go back! read more

Best nachos in town. I can't explain it except to say they've hit it. Order them and see for yourself. Yum.

Happy hour dining totally the best (pricey o/w). Great service and ambient noise low enough that you can have conversations at a comfortable level. read more

We used to be huge fans of Sand Point Grill, dining there at least twice a month. However after it was sold, we were disappointed in the way the new owners managed it so we stopped going. Last month we saw that it was under new management so we stopped by. We were happy with the food, drinks, and service . We went a couple of more times and had the same positive experience. Last night, however, we were disappointed that we received the same attitude as the previous owner. It was not a full night (the place was less than half full) but we had to follow up on a second order of beer (after waiting 15 minutes) and then 30 minutes after we had placed our food order, we were told that the order had not gone through. This was almost exactly the same situation that happened to us before. Just as before, we also noticed that none of the other customers seemed to be having the same issue. We will not be returning. read more

I've been here three times in the past three weeks. Mainly because there were few places around with a decent happy hour nearby. But then I started craving the fries that come with the happy hour burger ($12). Their fries are soooooooo crave-worthy. And the burger has... wait for it... crispy bacon on it! Incredibly nice staff. Mostly went with small groups but once arrived with 9 people and they were more than accommodating. Whoever is the server for the HH section on Saturdays... is a true gem! I had fun with their rotating tap and had some delicious IPAs. read more

I used to come here all the time and the food and service were great. I thought a night out on my own would compensate for the lousy weather we keep having. When I arrived the restaurant was empty but a gentleman came out, brought me water and a menu. I ordered a beer which he served and then disappeared. After a half hour he had not appeared so I got up and asked him for my check. There were three other employees sitting near him. I said that I had felt abandon and he remarked did I think he was going to keep me company? No I responded. He then said that he had a lot of work to do. I handed him my credit card and he then said he would not charge me for the beer. Over the years I have learned that you get horrible service when a restaurant isn't busy. read more

We're back!!! There was a period of time when Sand Point Grill fell out of favor for us. It was a frequent weekend dinner destination but several years ago it went downhill and we stopped going. We decided to give them a try a few months ago and now it's back to "dinner twice a month" status. It's under new ownership, new management and a new chef but the menu has many old favorites. Especially good is the fried chicken and the ribeye steak. Cassie is an excellent bartender and Nissi is an excellent server. And they have a GREAT Happy Hour every day from 4-6. read more

Been coming to this place with my boyfriend almost weekly. It is so yummy. We have had everything from the steak salad (HIGHLY recommend) to the rib nights. We love everything. We have had great service as well, with the owner there almost every night. It's so great to see a business someone is proud of. We got the salmon special tonight (pictured) and boyfriend got the ribs again. Another great night. Definitely recommend finishing the night with the apple crumble. Simply delicious and worth it everytime. read more

A small restaurant in a mini-strip mall in Sand Point ... the Caesar salad had a nice bite to it, and the fresh anchovies were great. The bread was bland (low quality Italian). The service was friendly and fast. If you're in the neighborhood and need a bite, not bad. Don't make a special trip though. read more

Super disappointing. Ordered off of Postmates and the beet salad ($15!!) was literally 4 small pieces of lettuce and maybe 10 beet chunks, the fries were stale, half the green beans were not cooked, the other half burnt. Super disappointing and definitely not worth the money. read more

Went here for happy hour and we were very impressed. Their mussels were probably the best mussels we've ever had - well cooked, tender, and had great seafood and garlic flavor. We also ate their schnitzel sandwich which was good as well. Nicely cooked and very crispy schnitzel. Price is reasonable and a really cute local restaurant feel that I really appreciate. Service was also on point. I just wish their beer selection was larger. I've had the regular menu before and the risotto is super amazing. Definitely a must try. read more

Change is inevitable. And it has come to the Sand Point Grill under a new owner. The place is still very popular- there are few neighborhood places like it. But now profit, it seems, has become dominant. Drinks are pricier and smaller, not everyone's concern I realize. Many of the friendly staff remain, but they seem more driven. The restaurant business is tough, I realize, but I mourn the more relaxed atmosphere, and of course the bargain drink prices. read more

Why did it take me so long to find this wonderful, casual yet sophisticated neighborhood restaurant? Their thoughtful and honest menu has something great for every occasion while protein features prominently (i.e., good value!) both on the vegetarian, fish and carnivore side of the equation if I'm saying that correctly. I can't decide which I like best, the natural, roasted pork chop, the grass-fed beef and lamb fettucini or the fried chicken. Paraphrasing a well known comedian, I don't know what they did with that chicken, but it's (beyond) delicious. Anyway, I haven't even had everything on the menu yet and already I have some favorites. Bar area with TV, limited window seating, high tables, regular tables. Street parking. Average noise level. Good for romantic dining and for families with a limited number of kids in tow. Nice draft and bottled beer selection including a local Kilt Lifter; very good wine list. Highly recommended. read more

I came here for Happy Hour though I wasn't particularly hungry. I ordered a couple of bottled beers for $2 each and a snack plate for $2 off their bar menu price. It came with an assortment of olives, salami, breadsticks, savory cornbread, and nuts. It was satisfying to be able to pick at little things here and there while sipping down some cold beers and enjoying good conversation. Service was great and our server/bartender was very friendly and attentive. I wasn't blown away by their Happy Hour selection though it did seem that a few of the items looked worth the trip. Overall, I think there are better happy hour options in the area. I did hear their regular menu was pretty tasty though. Maybe I'll come back for dinner! read more

Cute and cozy neighborhood restaurant. Fantastic potato skins. Good entrees overall. Friendly staff.

Went here for our anniversary dinner this evening. Didn't know quite what to expect but was very pleasantly surprised with the restaurant & the food. Hubby had an excellent Vodka Martini & I had a yummy Manhattan. We split the special appie of the day, a razor clam fritter. $10 for 4 pieces that were overcooked and left me disappointed. But it got much better when our entrees arrived. I had the delicious fried chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy & spring veggie saute. Would definitely order it again. Honey had the Caesar Salad with White Anchovies and the Mussels. Both were great. Make sure to ask for bread, it's good stuff, not fluff. read more
