The restaurant has been a beloved Bay Area staple since 1920, serving up some of the freshest fish and seafood that delights locals and visitors alike.
Unlike most restaurants with spacious indoor seating and perhaps a little bit outdoors, Sam's is quite the opposite.

Inside seating is very limited and it's the deck where the amazing food, views, and excellent service come together.
The Sam’s Anchor Café tagline says it all: “The most non-exclusive Yacht Club. No yacht necessary!”
