Sam's opened its doors in 1867 as an oyster bar, then at the foot of California Street. Today, in the heart of the Financial District, Franciscans enjoy a variety of Bay Area fish and shellfish in a beautiful, sober, wooded setting. We love the terrace for sipping a glass of wine with a platter of shellfish duringhappy hour, as well as the restaurant's side room, organized like train compartments, with curtains. Perfect for a tête-à-tête!

Lovely iconic eatery serving local dishes. White table service paired with knowledge service (they can recommend wines if you ask). The food is tasty and generous. The poached celery (celery victor) was well cooked and full of flavour. The Cioppino was also a great medley of local flavours and the tomato came through. There's a good atmosphere here. You come mainly for the history but the food is worth a detour, especially if you are looking for some local cuisine. The cocktails aren't half bad either!

2 of the five dishes were very uncooked like raw. Not safe for fish..

Stopped in for a drink on my husband's birthday, on our way to dinner. Shah, our bartender, was great at making drinks and at conversation. He talked us into trying their restaurant for dinner and made a reservation for us. He was charming. We were impressed with the care taken to ensure we had a nice evening. The food was delicious! We had the crudo (so fresh and delicious), a rib eye, and a whole branzino. The dessert was a crisp with ice cream, and it was so fresh and tasty. Everything was wonderful and we are definitely coming back. Thanks, Shah, for speaking up about how great Sam's is!

Timeless old San Francisco vibe. Best fish and seafood in town. The booths with curtains are awesome. Try the celery Victor.
