What Paul D likes about Sammy's on the Marina:
Excellent location with great water views. Excellent decor and service. Very attentive and accommodating. Excellent food served promptly. Indoor space was relatively small and therefore not noisy. Catered very well for a group with age range from 3 73 years. View all feedback. What Louloupj doesn't like about Sammy's on the Marina:
Was very unhappy that my booking was pushed forward to 1:30pm only to be shoved up the stairs at a hot and stuffy table with zero view. My mother in law had to struggle up the stairs and then placed at an awful table?? Not good at all! When your customers are nice enough to accomodate a time change for you because of your error, the least you could have done was sit us at a half decent table. Just disgusting, not the...

Dined here for the first time and had a seafood platter. Quite pricey for what it was. Seafood bland with little variation in what was on the platter.

If we are to give the term 'fresh' any sort of application for Sammys seafood, then we would be reinventing the meaning of the word. $250 dollars for the platte...

Sammy's restaurant is located at the end of the marina, offering a warm and cozy atmosphere. While the food is reasonably priced, some felt that the quality didn't match the cost. The service was a mixed bag, with some customers feeling rushed and uncomfortable with the casual terms of endearment used by their waitress. Despite these issues, others enjoyed their meals, especially the Lobster Mornay and crispy skin salmon. The restaurant also caters well for groups and special occasions, with a great view over the marina. The platters were a hit with some diners, praising the generous portions and delicious calamari. Overall, Sammy's offers a nice dining experience, with some room for improvement in terms of food quality and service.
