2012 Best of Bay Area A-List Waterfront Dining Award

Sam's Chowder House

Nestled on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Sam's offers stunning sunsets, true oceanfront outdoor dining, and a casual and authentic seafood experience reminiscent of an East Coast style seafood house. Watch the crashing surf inside by the fireplace, dine outside under a cozy heat lamp, or settle into an Adirondack chair near a toasty fire pit on Sam's dog-friendly patio and enjoy the crisp, salty ocean air.

 
Ann R. ... "The thing I love about Sam's is that it's great in any weather - If it's cold you can sit by the fire, if it's warm and sunny -the patio is unbeatable. The lobster rolls really are incredible! The house smoked salmon salad is my other favorite."
