Our new favourite local restaurant!Fish restaurants in the UK are never cheap and the food can be pretty average but Sams offers excellent fish dishes, very well prepared and at a pretty reasonable price.Good, friendly service that was attentive but not overly so, so we didn't feel in any way rushed.We will certainly be returning.

We had an really good quality fresh seafood at Sam's. Just what you'd want for a seaside restaurant but something you don't always get.The staff are lovely and attentive, especially the manager/owner who looks after you really well.

Plenty of fish options (not all battered). Sam?s bistro offers a full menu and our corner booth was spacious with a private feel. An unexpected find worth a test drive! Lunch for two with some alcohol is shy £100. Moules as a shared starter was great.

This is a really lovely restaurant. The food is excellent. We mainly tried the fish options, which were very fresh and well prepared. The atmosphere was really welcoming. All the staff were so friendly, and Ed the manager, just made the whole experience truly wonderful.

Our very dear friends invited us down to Sam's for lunch. The hours journey was well worth it.The food was good, the attention given to the diners to make sure they were happy was also good. The whole experience of this place for our first time was very satisfying. I would certainly recommend this restaurant.

Worth a visit. Nice atmosphere and pleasant staff. The food was tasty, but my bouillabaisse was spoiled by the keynote flavour being chilli and a complete lack of the traditional fennel flavour, which one would expect, and I enjoy. There's no mention of this on the menu, and I would not have ordered it if it had.Dietary restrictions: Beware of unexpected chilli in some dishes. Check with the server before you order.Parking: No street parking locally. A very small car park c. 10 spaces nearby. Larger car park by the ferry, which is a ten minute walk away.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor only.

We rang a couple of hours ahead of our visit , to check if it was ok to bring a dog . We were seated a little way away from another family as it was fairly quiet . I was so pleasantly surprised to have such good seafood, cooked to perfection, it?s the best meal out I have had for a couple of years. My dog was well behaved so no problem. We were well behaved, and the service was amazing, thank you !

Popped in for some dinner after Soa day and the lasagne was amazing, stir fry with bubbles burger was sublime and the relish - could be bottled! Ed was amazing and so friendly fitting us in despite being booked .

Nice place and very nice staff, but insanely overpriced. 12 calamari rings on a tiny salad for £18? Not worth it.

Overall, we enjoyed our dinner at Sam?s. The range of dishes on the menu is good, plus specials, and the service was friendly and attentive . We shared garlic bread, olives, hummus and french stick to start, followed by bouillabaisse and pork schnitzel, which were delicious. The only disappointment was that the overriding flavour of the bouillabaisse sauce was chilli, and not fennel as I expected, so unfortunately it lacked the traditional taste. I like chilli, but would have chosen another dish had I known. Why does a chef change the flavour of a great French dish and leave out one which diners would naturally anticipate? This was a great shame, because the seafood content (and quantity) was very good. I noted that another reviewer had the same experience with a different dish, so it would help if the menu descriptions made it clearer. My wife has an allergic reaction to chilli, so had she ordered bouillabaisse, we?d have sent the dish back. This was a vacation visit, and we?d certainly make another visit to a Sam's when we?re are down that way. Two courses each and a couple of drinks came to about £72.00, so it was good value for money.
