Sam's in the City

Booked a table for a family get together. Not been here before but had it on good recommendation that it was an ok place to go. We were seated quickly and offered the menu etc. Drinks arrived swiftly as did the food. I personally wasn't too impressed with my main meal (prawns). Portion was meagre and it didn't come with the correct dressing and it wasn't cheap. As the main meal of the day I was left still feeling peckish. Puddings were ok I suppose but my daughter's was mainly made up of squirty cream. Probably wouldn't bother going again.

What a warm and welcoming place! Friendly and helpful staff, booked a table for 6pm but arrived 20 mins early and staff were happy to accommodate. Great cocktails and local fresh seafood. A new favourite!

Holidaying in Cornwall this week and we came across this little Gem in Truro ! The menu was fantastic so we were hoping the food stood up to expectation and it did ! Fabulous food the burgers are amazing I had the Thai fish curry which was outstanding and desserts we’re equally delicious.. the lady who served us was brilliant went through the menu with us totally amazing experience and highly recommend well most definitely be back ! A well deserved 5 Stars all round ..

Ordered the seafood platter. The best thing on it was the mussels with the garlic sauce. The calamari was dry. The portions look big but doesn't really seem to justify paying £29 for it.

I ordered crab Linguine. For a plate that costs 20 pounds , i was expecting at least.... some decent pasta. The portion was for a toddler and the pasta was cutted suitable for consumption from a baby. We also ordered Calamari. It was served hot and sticked like a chain above something they call salad. Again the portion was ridiculous small and the serving above the salad a weird choice. (Who wants to eat warm salad?) And last but not least. Tempura mullet.... 🙁 the portion was decent the taste was less than ok and sorry for the bad news, this wasn't tempura. Other than that the service was excellent, friendly staff and the atmosphere was nice.

Called in on the off chance they had a table available for lunch which they did but most were reserved. The food was amazing and the staff were brilliant. We were offered a bottle of water as soon as we sat down (it was a very hot day). Great choice on the menu. Would definitely eat here again.

IN.CRED.IBLE. Me and my mum were in a massive HURRY - came in at about 6.30, needed the food ideally by 6.40 as we had to get to the cinema for 7. The AMAZING Nadine sorted us out - ordered us in early, sat us down asap and we were out by 6.55pm. Service was so fast, and there was beautiful GORGEOUS HOT food (in only 10 MINUTES Despite how busy it was). amazing effort from Nadine - so so helpful , literally never had staff be that attentive and friendly - and also Mirabel who was on shift with her. PROMOTE THESE GIRLS TO THE TOP PLEASE (though they definitely are there already)!!!!!!!!We left a 10% tip but would’ve left 1000% if we could. LEGENDS!!!!!!!!!

We really, really love Sam's, so much that I don't know why we don't go more often! Their house cider and lager is amazing, the seafood platter and the burgers have always been top notch! But the one thing that definitely makes us go back is that it feels like visiting an old friend. It's cozy, and homey in all the right ways, especially thanks to the manageress who's attentiveness is second to none! PS it's very dog and kid friendly!
