I had to find a place where to celebrate a special occasion with a group of 50 people and they had been very kind, available for every need. They provided for us a great menu, served by beautiful people and an amazing place! I recommend this restaurant!
We are in Glenelg on holidays and have been to Sammy’s twice since being here. The food was so fresh and delicious. The service was amazing so friendly and they were so accommodating with our kids. Highly recommend going to Sammy’s, king George whiting was �
We had our beautiful wedding reception here 10 years ago, 10 years on we celebrated our anniversary last night back here at Sammy's. So so HAPPY Amazing food, Amazing service from all staff, especially Elliot our waiter, highly recommend dinning here they went above & beyond making us feel so special. A very special thank you to all.
We had dinner last night for our anniversary got the deluxe platter and wow can’t say how good it was and as for the service the waitress Sarah (I had to take note of her name tag to give a good report) was the best service I have ever had anywhere. I’m a bit of Bogan looking guy and get snobbed or little comments at most high end places but have never had someone go out of their way like she did
Well done will be back again soon
Dined here the other night, what a fabulous venue and seafood second to none. Fantastic views, Exceptional table service from Jayden more than helpful, couldn't do enough even though he was under pressure. Recommend this restaurant to anyone especially if you want to impress someone.
Absolutely fabulous! Wonderful service, especially Ellen was amazing. The food was delicious and presented EXTREMELY well. Staff allowed us to start outside outside for entrees so we could enjoy the sunset before moving inside for the rest of our dinner. Big thanks to the chef for doing a special presentation with our desserts.
Definitely recommend to all if the want an amazing dining experience!
The best place to eat in Adelaide . The food and the staff are amazing
Upstairs view while eating, was amazing. Watched dolphins. $150 Shared platter and couldn't eat it all. Food and service was great.
Awesome service, friendly professional staff and the food was excellent. We came for lunch for my mother’s 60th and they even gave her a dessert plate at the end as a surprise.
I will definitely be coming back!!
My wife and me celebrated our wedding anniversary at Sammys and we loved it. The food was terrific and tge sevice was great. Would recommend to anyone who loves seafood.
Service prompt and friendly
Most enjoyable meal with great service particular from our waiter Anmol who set the scene for the night and ensured my wife enjoyed her birthday dinner.
Went with the family for Christmas lunch today and received excellent service. Food was delicious, wine selection was great, atmosphere perfect. No complaints here! 🎄♥️
My first time to Sammys at Glenelg with a party of 5 ladies.
Well the location is great no complaints there - we were met by a lovely waitress who seated us. After looking thru the menu we decided on an Aussie platter and started with a bottle of champers - 1 of 2.
There wasn't a long wait before these platters arrived and were placed on towers keeping them up and off the table (great idea). Bubbles poured we started on our feast and a feast it was. It was delicious seafood bursting out every where!! Nothing was over cooked and cold selection fresh.
It was the best seafood I've had in Adelaide I thoroughly enjoyed my meal -the bubbles were constantly topped up - staff young and friendly girls. It was a great dining experience well worth the price.
Thank you!!!
I haven't been here for a few years, it is such a great location. I ordered crispy skin salmon and it was delicious. Looking forward to coming back next time i am in town
Visited Adelaide second time in Jan 2016 for attending a friend's birthday. Visited this place along with her and her family. Superb place! Such picturesque location with an outdoor seating is like an icing on the cake. The rates are reasonable too. Had Garlic Scampi (Grilled Scampi served with garlic and white wine cream sauce). Wonderful taste. Although struggled in taking out the flesh from the shell with the help of utensil they provided.
To talk about the location, you are just beside the sea and if you're lucky enough, you can see dolphins as well. The airport is nearby and nice view of planes taking off and landing can be seen as well. Dusk time is the best to be there as we can see the transition from daylight to dark and the lights glow up.
Lovely spot for a fancy seafood dinner. We had the Sammy seafood sharer...wow it was big! The prawns were amazing, scallops nicely flavoured, fresh oysters and mussels...tasty soft Shelly crab...peppery calamari and whitehead fish. Expensive but you certainly get your money's worth! Great food with amazing scenery.

Lunch here yesterday was superb, bugs and calamari real tasty.
Trio of dips on the money.
Staff very helpful, told us what the dips were rather than just dumping them on the table with a smile and little else.
Great service and excellent seafood. Worth the visit . Good range of SA wines and fresh seafood . Pleasant outlook. Easy to reach by tram from CBD.
Great service, great meal. After reading all the comments I was nervous to come here, but the service was great, meals were quick, and food was amazing. (Quite expensive, but very filling). Would definitely return
We enjoyed our lunch very much. Despite all the bad reviews, we still decided to give it a go, and it turned to be not bad, actually pretty good !
Seafood Chowder was just like my clam chowder, a little thicker than i would have done it. The flavors were pretty legit, one entree size can easily be shared among two.
Aussie fav as my main. Everything tastes better fried, am i right?! I got flathead, king George whiting, prawns and calamari. Couldn't decide between just one seafood item. Saw this combo and ordered, didn't let down at all. Decent sized serve with Tar tar, enjoyed very much!
Great food & service & view!. Recommended by a friend and it's absolutely one of the best seafood restaurants I've had! We sat on the first floor and the beach view was gorgeous. The food was plenty, ordered their platter and it was enough for the three of us. Fresh food, great service, will definitely go again.
Came here once on a beautiful day, and ordered a seafood platter. It was divine, ESPECIALLY the honey-mustard scallops.
Was a little hesitant about going to Sammy's after reading some of these reviews but we'd been invited by friends so turned up early on a Saturday night not expecting much. We started with the trio of dips which were very nice and bruschetta which I found a bit soggy. I had salmon for main, it was cooked well and had crispy skin as promised. Our friends also had seafood dishes which they all enjoyed and were all generous serves. My partner doesn't eat seafood so had the rib eye, it was cooked well but was tough to eat, for $42 we expected better quality than what was served. The staff were attentive but a little pushy trying to get us to order quickly. We had an early booking so I assume they were trying to help out the kitchen by spreading the orders. For me it was a pleasant night out but I wouldn't recommend Sammy's if you don't like seafood
Went for lunch on a Friday. The food was very good, we had the dips and then one of the seafood platters. But I must say that given there wasn't many in the restaurant the service wasn't great given the price and therefore the standard expected.
Went there for valentines dinner. Staff we awesome, waitress was happy and professional. Was very very busy but there was no wait time for drinks or food. The seafood was beautiful. Scampi yummy, wine on the menu is varied and well priced. We shared the platinum platter and while it was pricey, it delivered everything we had hoped for. Glad I chose to ignore the bad reviews on here.
Beautiful views and atmosphere on a warm summer night. Food was lovely and fortunately we had a lovely waitress that kept checking if everything was ok. Is quite pricey thou but expected that being on the Marina.
This place is great. Food was great service prompt, view is great. I had a great expeirience. Checked the reviews and was surprised at all the negatives. As far as seafood platters go this one rocked, we couldn't even finish it that's how much was there was. Check out my photo.
Surely You'll Never Seafood Better. Sammy's on the Marina is with out a doubt the best located restaurant on the beach in Adelaide, offering spectacular views, Dolphins in the water, amazing sunsets, Ideal for a romantic evening or any special occasion. Also caters for large groups. We chose from an extensive menu, their signature sea food platter.consisting of nine delectable fresh varieties of sea food, When it was served, it looked amazing, and tasted even better. Sammys on the Marina, is recognized as Adelaide's finest Seafood Restaurant.and we would not disagree. The restaurant is circular on two levels, both offering spectacular views, the decor is elegantly seaside themed. The dessert menu offered a variety of popular favorites, plus a chefs special, which completed a thoroughly satisfying culinary experience.
A good range of wines ensure a perfect accompaniment to you choice of meal. The coffee was excellent and so was the service. Reservations recommended.
Good seafood. Have been here about 5 times in the past 5 years. Every time we've had some kind of platter. The first 4 times the seafood was AMAZING. Super fresh, succulent, generous servings of seafood. It was probably our favourite seafood joint back then, which was why we kept coming back. More recent times we came back ( had moved to Melbourne for 3 yrs) to see if the seafood was up to standards as we knew back then. Unfortunately we heard that the owners had changed, and so did the quality. Extemely dissapointed. Although the seafood now is still good, it was not as outstanding as it was back then with the original owners. Such a shame, so we will probably wont be going back again.
Enjoyable experience. We also chose the $140 seafood platter for two and absolutely loved it. Luckily we didn't order entrees because the platter was huge. It had a variety of hot and cold and came with a salad and chips and it was not your average pub seafood platter. We had a window seat and had great views of the sun setting. Service was fine - attentive and polite. I would definitely go back.
Experience was ok, nothing to write home about. The Kingfish Laksa was rather bland, generous amount if Kingfish but only 3 Muscles. The salt and pepper Calamari was enjoyable but not outstanding. Overall OK
Summer Sunday afternoon or evening is the only place to be in Adelaide. The platters are both head turning and taste great to match. Service was spot on and the wine selection was great. See you next Sunday
It was too hard to go past choosing the Sammy's Seafood Platters sitting outside on a warm autumn evening. The Spicy Calamari was the highlight for me and the wine selection provided plenty of choice with out overwhelming you. A great experience for an out of towner like myself and another of our group rated the best meal he's had since arriving in Australia a year ago.
