We dropped by Sam's to get takeout last summer. We didn't end up eating it for a couple of hours, so I'm not sure how accurate this review will be. We ordered at the front window and it took around 15 minutes to get the food. It was a pleasant wait since we could walk along the beach while waiting for the food.The seafood cioppino was pretty pricey ($38 at the time). It was quite good -- the broth has great savory and spicy flavor. The shrimp is also cooked really well as were the clams. The one thing I didn't like about this dish was the fish fillet. It was really tough and overcooked. I think it's mostly due to the type of fish, which is prone to becoming tough. There was a lot of fish compared to the other seafood components. This dish was great other than the fish. We basically had it cold because we didn't want to overcook the seafood, but we could still appreciate the flavors.We also got the naked (hot and buttered) lobster roll ($30 at the time). We had it cold, but it was still pretty good. There was quite a lot of claw meat in addition to other parts of the lobster.The main downside of what we tried was the fish in the cioppino. Everything else was good, and I'd go back. I don't know if I'd wait a long time to be seated, though -- maybe takeout and eating soon after is the move. It's a really nice location and clearly a very popular place.

I fell in love with this place from reading everyone's reviews and drove all the way to try the food, really wasn't disappointed, the service was excellent. On the plane ride home I met a man who was very excited wearing a shirt from this brand.

Our waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly. The best thing we had was the lobster roll, I would definitely recommend that. The paella was pretty good too. I had the fresh juice vodka special and if I wasn't driving, I would've had another.

Live music was playing in the background and it wasn’t overtly loud where you couldn’t hear your dinner conversation! We sat at the bar at first and the service was great! The bartenders were really helpful when we asked about appetizers and they were really friendly and joked around with us.After the bar, our seats were ready and we sat outside and enjoyed the sun set. The waitress was not as friendly and only checked on us once. Never refilled our drinks. But the food was amazing.

My favorite combo fried calamari, cesaer salad and clam chowder. We got the key lime pie to go and ate it later that evening.
