"Sam’s Chowder House is the spot for those in search of homey, New England-style seafood and stunning views. Every seat at Sam’s offers a view of the Pacific Ocean and offers a family-friendly fish house experience. When the restaurant was founded in 2006, it was one of the first to bring lobster rolls to the west coast. Today, the rolls remain the forte, as they’re served with a generous portion of fresh lobster on a soft, brioche bun. The New England clam chowder is also a hit for its light, creamy, and flavorful broth, and the daily fish specials are made with sustainable, locally sourced seafood and seasonal ingredients." - Cathy Park
