As an Italian I like enjoying good food and I reckon this restaurant is very good.
There is a large variety of food and there are some very particular meals.
For the quality of the food and the view, the price is not excessive.
The staff is also very nice and familiar.
I always come here when I come back to London

From the moment we entered Sam’s there was an immediate good feel and the rest of the night continued that way. It was fully booked out however we were offered to sit at the bar. Best decision ever as we got to enjoy interaction with the bar staff ( many in Oz know how TV enjoys a chat) - Sunny & Chicago ( his new nickname is now “Bull” !!!!!!) just fabulous. And the food was absolutely beautiful. As we had only arrived in Hammersmith earlier in the day we were just looking to have something simple for dinner. My princess enjoyed the gnocchi & I went outside my boundaries and enjoyed a fabulous cheese burger. Loved the imprint on the bun.
Met the owner Sam when we first arrived and it was noticeable he made an effort to interact with his guests. Not overbearing just in a real positive way. As a business owner for over 40 years in Australia, you could sense Sam’s had a good culture and that was was obvious as to how Sam appeared & also Sunny behind the bar. They worked so hard all night & did not stop and yet there was no fuss, they still allowed themselves to interact & enjoy a chat with us and maintained high standards of getting the drink orders out to the wait staff. This place was just brilliant. We are here in Hammersmith from Perth Western Australia for some 11 days and this will definitely be our go to place over the coming days.
You may not be as fortunate as us to have the interaction with the staff but you will not be disappointed as to the food, the service and the positive feel. Over 170 patrons on a Monday night tells you something as to how good Sam’s is. If you have complaints about your experience at Sam’s you must be hard to please. 🙏😊🥂👍
Delicious meal at Sam's this evening and excellent service from Nadia too.
Being pedantic, the only thing I would say is that it does get quite noisy as the restaurant fills and the duck pate starter could have done with a little relish to counteract the gaminess of the taste, but that's said, overall a very enjoyable evening and the deserts were particularly good so well done the chef that made those and...
Well done Sam!!!
Indecently exceptional! The food, the seafood (the oysters, OMG!), the cocktails, the wines, and the staff. Trying to fault them would be an insult to the spirit of this place. What can I say? Yes, just GO!
And by the way, there is an Alex at the bar… just eat at the bar only for him. Exceptional as well. He knows his stuff in terms of dishes, wines and before all … cocktails. His service and enthusiasm are out of this island… He IS the bar …
Now there are people who don’t like the little bit of this or the little bit of that. Or who have no idea that a Strawberry and Mint soufflé actually tastes Strawberry and Mint … and you know what? Ignore them… they have not idea what good food actually tastes like …
One of the best all-around dining experiences I've had in London! The service was perfect; our servers were incredibly attentive, cheerful, and funny (the hosts were lovely, too!). The food was great, I loved the scallop ceviche and gnocchi and my partner enjoyed the lamb and parmesan churros. The drinks were perfect, too and we had a nice view of the water and bridge. Would love to go back.
