Order meal and a bottle of wine. Thirty minutes later no wine, no food, no acknowledgement. It may be a very good meal. We left and... More

We hadn't done any research on where to eat in Fowey. After looking around the town Sam's was busy and looked inviting, although it was busy the service wasn't that slow. Looking at all the dishes being served up they all looked good sized portions and very inviting. We had mussels and prawns for starters and bass fillets and red... More

I'm almost afraid to write the rave review this restaurant merits as it may make it too difficult to get in next time I'm in Cornwall. The bouillabaisse is amazing and service friendly and efficient. Love it!

A trip to Cornwall would not the complete for us unless we dine at Sam's one night. Consistently good food, well cooked and a lively atmosphere we have never been without it being busy.

We ate here two nights in a row as the food was excellent! You are unable to book but they have a good system where you can get a drink, order your food & then wait in the upstairs lounge. When a table is free your food is brought in straight away. However on both nights we didn't have to... More

Sam's is one of the best restaurants in Fowey, no doubt! We only stayed in Fowey for a few days, but it was enough to have dinner/lunch at Sam's three (!) times, the food was *that* good. Highly recommmend!

Return visit after approx 2years and couldn't wait for the seafood platter to share. Just as I remembered it. Once again perfection! . You can't book and they do get very very busy Well worth the wait.

Go to Sams for the experience. We had good food at a fair price. The service was great. We had to wait an hour for our food but that wasn't a problem as we were warned beforehand and it was nice to have a drink in the bar and listen to the music. There was a really good atmosphere in... More
