Great food. Great service. Will definitely be back. The Sammy’s Platter was delicious. The location was great. Emma was a fantastic waitress. Just a reminder- Leave the chips (as nice as they are) til last!

Service was fantastic and the food tasty although overpriced... I guess you're paying for the view although we were all seated well away from the windows!

Waitress was poor. Did not know what the ‘specials’ we for the evening Ask our guest to sniff the cognac prior to selecting which one he would like! Wanted to quickly bring our courses - as the kitchen staff wanted to finish.

Food was amazing couldn't fault the food. but service wasn't the best. We weren't offered a second drink. Once our food came we weren't spoken to again until we paid. We actually went elsewhere for a drink.

Booked online , but table not ready on arrival . For an expensive restaurant , the overall aesthetic was not high end , if not tired . Food was nice , but overpriced for overall quality , and servers really lacked experience and finess ;eg drinks not attended to , slack with knowing who ordered which meal ( should be easy with a table of three ) Perhaps a fussy diner here , but a cafe feel with restaurant expectation .

Sammy's on the Marina is well located with views out to the sea. There are other restaurants and bars near by so the atmosphere is vibrant on a Saturday night. We had a table indoors but close to the outdoor area which was great as the night we were there was warm and summery . We were spoilt for choices with the menu and ended up ordering the deluxe seafood platter, which we really enjoyed. The service was good and we had a thoroughly enjoyable night.

Arrived half hour early which wasn’t a problem with staff. Excellent waiting staff particularly young female who recommended a particular wine which was rejected by my wine snobbish ( dear friend ). We both had to agree that the recommended wine was far superior. We shared theDeluxe Platter but could have done ( jokingly ) about how well we had attacked it! Mind you we didn’t manage to complete the platter but it was absolutely superb. On a personal note I am not sophisticated in such surroundings but I was never made to feel inadequate to be a guest. My heartfelt thanks to the staff of Sammy’s. Chr

I was a bit disappointed with the overall service at Sammy's. I think they must have been training staff but we had a waiter that delivered two incorrect drinks to us and then we also had some oysters that were off.

Lovely location overlooking the sea and Patawalonga outlet - the seafood was delicious (but an additional piece of lemon would go well with crumbed fish) The service was excellent. Definitely on my list as a place to book for that special celebration- we arrived early before the lunch rush, and enjoyed a quiet drink and conversation before ordering. Highly recommended.
