Dining room at The Sandbar Fish House & Market, San Antonio, TXSince its relocation from downtown, Andrew Weissman’s Sandbar, with chef Chris Carlson at the helm, has sailed ever-calmer seas, its repertoire expanding, the cooking more self-assured. The improved kitchen now offers hot plates such as variations on a theme of skate, or wild-caught salmon with spätzle and Brussels sprouts in a red wine and truffle vinaigrette. Raw seafoods that made Sandbar’s reputation are still on offer, of course; think lapidary sashimi (especially of ruby-hued tuna) and ceviches accented with the likes of passion fruit, and caviars. The Le Rêve lobster bisque can now be made in-house, along with the onion tart, an iconic appetizer from Weissman’s late, lamented French restaurant. Steak frites have crept onto the menu. But a much-expanded selection of both whites and reds means that the now-not-so-francophilic wine list can accommodate all tastes admirably. Conclude with the Key lime pie that is Sandbar’s enduring contribution to the dessert hall of fame---though we have also been served an awfully appealing blueberry soufflé.

A disappointment from a great chef.

We were only offered one little slice of bread. We were over charged for food. The waiter keyed in 1 lb. not 1/2 lb. and charged us for the full lb. They didn't say there was an up charge for Kumamotos and then charged us the full price. We had to send the bill back twice before corrected. The fresh oysters and shrimp are good, but the entrees are not so great.
