Description

Sam's is the kind of old-school spot that attracts loyal regulars right to the beach. The warm, inviting atmosphere is complemented by a menu of favorites including blue cheese salad, seafood risotto, roasted lamb shank, lobster mousse salad and veal cordon bleu. Owner Sam Elias's Syrian roots are apparent in such offerings as a sampler trio of hummus, tabbouleh and baba ghanoush.

    "Fantastic Experience"

    Posted by amaghboul-MMX on 10/01/2009

    I was introduced to Sam’s by one of my neighbors, to whom I owe much gratitude. Sam’s is a real find, the food is exquisite, the service un-paralleled, and wine selection is first rate (especially their Chateau Kefraya from the Bekka Valley region). If you are in the mood for a great dinning experience in a subtle and elegant ambiance then Sam’s should definitely be your destination.
