About Us

Almost Four Decades of Desert Dining Excellence

As the former owner of the Adobe Garden Hotel and Irongate Restaurant in Palm Desert, Cunard’s in La Quinta, Robert Cunard’s in Palm Desert, and The Prevue in Rancho Mirage, Robert Cunard’s reputation as a restaurateur is well-established in the Coachella Valley.

He has also owned and operated restaurants in San Rafael, Tiburon, and San Francisco, as well as the famous Duke Kahanamoku’s in Honolulu. In 1982, he purchased and rebuilt the Sandbar, and has remained true to his tradition of quality cuisine and impeccable service.

The Sandbar Offers Three Intimate Dining Rooms, As Well As An Outdoor Patio:

Main Dining Room

The Sandbar main dining room includes four intimate booths and a scattering of tables, warmly lit by candlelight, with framed seascapes decorating the walls.

Bar

In the cozy bar, dinner is served at tables and at the bar. The atmosphere is energized, and the two large stained-glass windows cast a reflection on the gleaming white grand piano as talented entertainers take your requests.

Patio

The outdoor patio dappled with white lights, a beautiful hanging stained-glass, and the chandelier that is warmed by a New Mexico-style adobe fireplace. It is a great area for private parties, weddings, and corporate events.
