Staying at the JW Marriot and wanted some pizza. This restaurant had high reviews on Yelp…read more First, the pizza was delicious! Wish we ordered another one as it wasn't enough for us (4 people). As this was a take out order, there was a big issue. The app gave options to add for an order. I ordered a spaghetti marina and thought I "added" garlic and oil. But when we received the order, it was just pasta, garlic and oil. Wtf?! Why the heck would anyone order a spaghetti and only want garlic and oil? The option was NOT clear. I thought it was in ADDITION to. So for $20 I got pasta and garlic and oil. No marinara. It's NOT spaghetti! This was a take out order so the experience might not be the same if you eat at the restaurant. UPDATE: The owner, Sami, called me the next day to apologize for the mixup and offered to replacement. Within 30 min I received a still hot spaghetti the way it's supposed to be. Not only that, he added some dessert. As a business person myself, I understand mistakes happen. But when the issue is rectified, it's a testament to the values of the restaurant. The spaghetti was delicious! Not only the food is delicious, but awesome customer service. I can imagine how good the service would be if we ate at the restaurant. Highly recommend. (Went from 1-star to 5-star - the owner never asked me to change my rating)

1st time at Sami's. No one was there at lunch on a Thursday so we were a little concerned. We…read moredidn't need to be. There were 5 of us. Waiter was nice. The blacken grouper sandwich was great. I upgraded to sweet potato fries. They were good. The burger was great. Mom liked her poke tuna bowl. We also had the stromboli which was the least favorite. The flavor was good but loaded with more cheese than meat. It's huge! It will easily feed 3. We will be back.

Quite frankly, the worst meal I have had in many years. This is genuinely terrible food, and I'm…read moreguessing the place gets by due to the lack of good restaurants in the Matco Island area, and its waterfront setting. Nutshell: if you are a person who enjoys quality good, not fancy, just properly executed, you will hate this place. Waiter says, "we are known for our onion rings, you have to have those." Well, I enjoy a quality onion ring, so let's do it. Absolutely a huge mistake. Calling them greasy is an understatement. There was also not a lick of seasoning on them. They tasted of bland grease. Also, any server suggesting a gigantic basket of onion rings to two normally sized people is a jerk. Even if the batter wasn't shattered off half of them, it would have been a waste. The burger suffered from the same fatal flaw. I cannot recall ever eating a burger with less flavor. Zero salt and pepper and swimming in so much grease, the bottom bun collapsed upon pick up. This isn't an exaggeration. Flavorless. The lobster roll at least had some lobster, but again, just mid. Salt and pepper escapes them. I cannot stress enough that you should not eat here. My meal was free with the Platinum Rest credit, and I'm still angry about it.

The first day I took advantage of their crab legs special (Sundays and Mondays) which came with melted butter and fries and was delicious! The second time, we went for lunch again, and brought the fish we had caught on an excursion that morning (snapper, trout, whiting, I think). They can prepare it in multiple ways and we chose to do half fried and half grilled. It was delicious! Note that whenever we have visited, it has been for lunch so I can't speak to the evening atmosphere, but during the day it's very laid back, and often mostly locals. My husband declares it's the best grouper sandwich he's had, and he says that on every trip, even though we go to other restaurants.
