Sam's Grill & Seafood Restaurant

We sat in a private booth with old-school vibes that had privacy curtains and a call button. The sea food Excellent. The sourdough bread - perfection! The service was exceptional!

A quintessential old-school San Francisco institution... One of the best meals I've had in a long time... The Cioppino and Garlic Sourdough Bread... PERFECT a meal close to heaven. When you dine here, you experience why San Fransisco is one of the gastronomy capitals of the world

We popped in for a quick bite to eat and headed to the bar. The bar area was packed while the dining room had some areas sit and eat. We chose to sit in the dining room. Instead of ordering individual entrées, we decided to order a handful of appetizers inside dishes to share. Our dining liaison was very accommodating and nice, with a couple of fun quickwitted jokes. Super nice guy. The hostess was also very friendly and accommodating. Lots of seafood on the menu, we enjoyed some smoked trout, cured salmon, octopus, and a couple vegetable sides. All very tasty.

Wonderful weekday lunch experience and a celeb sighting too! Excellent sole, samdabs, drinks and tiramisu. Expensive. Excellent flavors and great staff! Recommended!

What a throwback restaurant that makes you feel like you’re back in the 80s/90s and that’s a great thing! You can tell that there are a lot of regulars and tourists in here but it’s great. The waiters are dressed up professionally and the food is good. Has a mom/pop feel to the service and food. I was in SF for a work event and this place was the best food I had all work!
