Review content:
My wife and I ate at Sam's last night, because we've read in our local paper how great it was supposed to be. We walked in and the ambience was great. There's a tropical/hawaiian feel to the place. The candle-lit dining room with flowing jungle fountains sets high expectations of a wonderfully rich dining experience.
That was as good as it got.
I ordered the Salmon dish that cost $18. It was one of the least expensive entres on the menu, which surprised me, because other reviews that I read said that it was a "moderately priced" restaurant. For Sunset Beach standards, that's very high unless your portions are Claim-Jumper-Sized and/or the food makes your taste buds sing.
Unfortunately, that was not the case.
We waited for what seemed like a long time. I had to ask the waiter if there was any bread or snacks that come complimentary while we wait for our food. The answer was "we'll probably have bread to offer by November." Now, I forgot to mention that we were STARVING. I was really counting on eating some bread and butter to calm my hunger a bit while we waited. Instead, we quietly sipped our water.
Our dinners finally arrived on beautiful dinnerware. My salmon was what seemed to be a 5oz piece. Definitely less than what I expected to pay $18 for. Taking a bite into the salmon revealed that it was NOT FRESH. The salmon scored a 9 out of 10 on a frozen, thawed, steamed, and drizzled with sweet sauce to conceal fishy-ness scale. I've had fish this good microwaved in a plastic wrapper from Costco that cost less than $3. You can find that product in the frozen food section - get more for the money.
The bed of vegetables and mashed potatoes that my salmon sat on were very tasty. It came with 3 steamed pieces of Bok Choi and a scoop and a half of mashed potatoes. I enjoyed this very much, if only for a brief moment.
We left Sam's without any inquiry about our meal or experience from our waiter or hostess. Perhaps they already knew so they didn't ask.
Pros: Great ambience
Cons: Bad food quality, small portions, disappointing service, no complimentary bread, come with a FULL stomach and FAT wallet
