    Char siu pork spare ribs and mac and cheese
    Sara P.

    We had such great food at the Sand Bar we actually came back a second time the same weekend we were in town. First night we tried the calamari which were tossed in a green curry with fried wontons. I could have eaten an entire second bowl they were so good. I do love curry. We also got the spare ribs to share with a side of mac and cheese. These were very flavorful ribs. The mac and cheese was very bland which was very surprising considering the other two dishes were so good. We enjoyed a couple signature cocktails that were great - the rum barrel, and yuzu lemon drop. They also have an extensive bourbon list. Sushi night is on the weekends and we brought our friends back for that. Spoiler alert. Sushi was great! Loved the crunchy spicy tuna, the ultimate salmon roll, and the ahi poke bowl. Definitely put sushi night on your calendar.

    Steamed clams
    Chris R.

    The food was good the service not so much.. The ambience was pleasant, very clean and inviting. The steam clams were definitely the highlight. The crab cob salad was also good, just not a fan of the house dressing.. Too horseradishy for me. The yellow curry calamari was also very good. We are not sure why the service fell off.. Nobody came to ask how our meal was or offered to refill our drinks. If you don't mind tasty food with bad service, give''em a shot!

    Last night my bf and I were looking for a place to eat and have some drinks. We were walking on the Main Street and came across The Sandbar and decided to try it out, and boy am I glad we did! The place was busy because of the Seahawks game, but we found a spot at the bar. Heather was our bartender/server and she was so great. She was so personable, and even though she seemed busy she always checked in to make sure we were doing good. At one point she even made a little too much of a margarita and gave us a little taster which was so nice! We shared the Gouda Mac with steak and it was 10/10. I had a couple Cherry Blossom Manhattans and they were so good too! We will definitely be visiting again next time we are in town.

    Lots of seating and tables
    Leticia V.

    The view from up top is wonderful! You are allowed to bring up food but no alcohol is allowed. We were greeted immediately by a very friendly bar tender. We didnt come for the food we just wanted to check the place out. We will for sure come back!

    The ambiance was like a modern garage with lots of open space, windows and natural lighting. It was really Smokey by the front though. We were happy to sit in the back with the open garage door. The service was really slow. Even when there were lots of available tables, we weren't seated right away. The servers were nice and friendly but so slow. And our servers forgot 2 out of 4 of our orders. She eventually served 3 plates but forgot one. It was sad! We ended up taking it home. The clams were popular. It was good. Our favorite was the pork chops. It was unique and flavorful. The rest were just okay.

    Came with my partner and parents at 12pm. Wait staff was nice and sat us immediately. We ordered by 12:10pm. 3 of our meals were served at 1pm. We waited to eat until when 1 of the 4 meals was finally served. Our food was cold upon eating and completely lacked flavor. My partner order the Orange chicken and it was hard/dry, the texture of dried smoked salmon. My mother and I ordered the Fish Tacos and it lacked flavor, had to ask for extra sauce to stomach the meal. Do not recommend eating from the Sandbar, maybe the food carts are better. The establishment stated "open at 12" but we were later told by our waiter that the kitchen refused to start cooking until 12:30, hence our 1hr long wait for food.

    This is a newly opened business in Long Beach, WA and it was amazing. We came on a Sunday, on sushi nights and easily this is the best sushi on the peninsula. This restaurant was placed in a great area for friends having a good time and families wanting a spot to eat. It is located right next to the arcade and connects on the inside as well. There is bar seating and you choose where you want to sit. In the evening, it does get very busy, so at times there has been minimal seating available, for those with bigger families. On the outside, there are also food trucks available as well that are actively being promoted on the inside. The service was excellent here and Sandbar is an excellent new addition to the Peninsula that I recommend you try out.

    Rum Barrel ($12)
    Michael H.

    You CAN believe the hype! Normally, I go into new restaurants on the peninsula with a heavy dose of skepticism. Almost every time a new restaurant surfaces, we get a lot of hype, excitement and FB posts like, "Man, this is going to be the greatest restaurant EVER!' It gets old. But not the Sandbar! It's legit. My wife and I headed in yesterday with a good friend. We decide to try a number of items. My wife ordered the Couscous and Carrot Salad, and the Black Garlic Beef Skewers with dirty rice. She was absolutely blown away! My buddy and I decided to share the half order of Dungeness Crab with some dirty rice, along with two Sushi Rolls - the Skinny Salmon and the PNW Dungeness Crab. The Dungeness Crab entree was, well, crab - how can you go wrong? But they serve it with this awesome Wasabi Honey Mustard and Ponzu sauce. They could bottle that stuff! The sushi was excellent. Please understand that they only have the Sushi Night menu on Fridays and Saturdays, though. They have a decent selection of local beers and ciders, featuring North Jetty and Ilwaco Cider Company. I would have liked to see Cavatica Stout, but I ordered the Rum Barrel cocktail, which was pretty good. James ordered the Cherry Blossom Manhattan, which I thought was better. The food was so good that we decided to order another sushi roll - the Albacore Truffle Roll. It was tasty, but I think the Skinny Salmon Roll was our favorite. We ordered the Mushroom dessert, which is a chocolate pudding and meringue. It was interesting, but just wasn't as good as our entrees. I think the only item that we were dissatisfied with was the dirty rice. All three of us were expecting a more 'dry' rice with some form of pork, beef or chicken. If there were any pieces of meat in that rice at all, we didn't detect it. But that wasn't enough to knock off a star on Yelp! The Sandbar is a 5-star experience, and has some great items, and we can't wait to go back and try a few more entrees. I'm really hoping that the Sandbar will achieve a level of quality and consistency that many businesses on the peninsula never reach.

The downtown station is a go to spot for me, not just for the food options but for the variety of events. They are kid friendly, with their play zone and kid shows on one of the TVs.

Comfortable. Plenty of tables & seats. 3. The Food Trucks: they're like competing with one another. They've got their price tag set to $18. 4. The outdoor patio is covered up. But, it doesn't protect your from the wind! Plenty of tables outside as well. 5. Parking: Outside just down the corner outside of the gate.

I recently moved to Olympia from Seattle, and have looked forward to the daily delivery of the local paper. I would love to know if there are any other hard copy newspapers in the area that deliver, because I am getting fed up. I even made a cylinder to receive the paper so that I didn't have to deal with plastic bags that are not recycled here.
