We had such an amazing experience tonight! The food was absolutely delicious, but what really made the evening special was the exceptional service and the breathtaking ocean view. Watching the sunset over the water while enjoying dinner created such a beautiful atmosphere. A special thank you to Katrisa, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She was warm, friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect throughout the night. Her professionalism, positive attitude, and attention to detail made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for incredible food, outstanding customer service, and one of the most beautiful ocean views. We’ll definitely be back!

The food was exceptional from start to finish. The lobster was incredibly fresh, perfectly prepared, and packed with flavor. Every seafood dish impressed, particularly the fish selections and the squid ink pasta, which were both beautifully executed and delicious. The restaurant itself was spotless, with a welcoming atmosphere that struck the perfect balance between lively and relaxed without being overly noisy. While every dish was outstanding, the tiramisu was the true highlight of the meal. Rich, delicate, and flawlessly balanced, it was quite simply the best tiramisu I have ever had.

Currently holidaying in Adelaide and decided to dine here. Overall the food was good and we enjoyed the experience. Hubby ordered the Seafood Chowder absolutely delicious, although one mussel hadn’t opened, so we mentioned it to the waiter just so the chef can check more thoroughly before serving. He also had the Half Lobster Thermidor which was nice, although a little average for the price. I ordered the Chilli Mussels. I was expecting a more vibrant rich tomato colour and flavour, but it was quite pale. Taste was still okay though. Big compliments to the lovely waitress who looked after us, she was so friendly, accommodating and made us feel welcomed throughout our visit ❤️ Unfortunately, the gentleman in the suit who showed us to our table came across a little grumpy which gave us a slightly awkward first impression. Overall still a pleasant dining experience while visiting Adelaide 😊

Visited Sammy’s on the Marina today and had a really lovely meal. We’d also like to thank our server, Prachi. She was incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and attentive. Her wonderful service made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Thank you! The highlight for me was definitely the Cucumber Caviar, Lime, Passionfruit & Tobiko oysters (the third oyster on the menu). They were incredibly fresh, and the combination of cucumber, passionfruit and tobiko was so refreshing and well balanced. Easily my favourite dish of the day. We also ordered the Beef Carpaccio as an entrée. I really liked their version because they paired it with hard cheese, which gave it a completely different flavour and texture compared with the beef carpaccio I’ve had at other restaurants. It was a nice surprise. The Seared Scallops were another favourite. They were cooked perfectly, tender and full of flavour. Overall, the oysters, beef carpaccio and scallops really stood out. I’d definitely come back for those again. Great atmosphere and a wonderful dining experience!

My husband and I dined at Sammy tonight, and I have to say, we were genuinely impressed. The atmosphere was beautiful, and the team’s attention to detail really stood out, especially Krisha. She recommended my meal, and it was absolutely delicious. Such a wonderful experience from start to finish.
