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. 🙏😊🥂👍
