Voted «Best Seafood» and «Best new restaurant» in Palo Alto, by the Palo Alto Weekly Reader’s Choice awards, Sam’s casual and authentic restaurant is reminiscent of a New England style seafood house. The fresh, seasonal menu features clam chowder, lobster spaghetti, an Oyster Bar, Sam’s award-​winning lobster roll, the fresh catch of the day, fish and chips, live Maine lobster, fresh local crab (when in season), fried calamari, as well as other seafood specialties.

Sunday Brunch includes farm-​to-​table style dishes like Dungeness Crab deviled Eggs, or Brioche French Toast with huckleberry compote and Grand Marnier crème. A «build your own» Bloody Mary Bar offers over 20 options from Sriracha salt rims to tangy tomatillo mix, and multiple garnishes from bacon to pickled green bean or steamed gulf shrimp.

Live music/​Ladies Night Thursdays, dollar oyster night, Wine Wednesdays, Happy Hour (see website). Vegetarian, gluten-​free, children’s menu. Lunch and dinner daily, Sunday Brunch.
