    Located in Marin County on San Francisco Bay in the charming town of Tiburon, Sam’s has long been famous for fresh seasonal seafood, a fun atmosphere and breathtaking views of Angel Island, Alcatraz and the San Francisco skyline.  Founded in 1920 by Sam Vella, a native of Malta, "the bar and restaurant is the penisula's longest continuously operating eatery and a mainstay of Tiburon's Main Street Waterfront for locals and toursists alike, a place to see and be seen with its twin dining rooms and massive rear deck offering expansive views of the bay."  More History Here

    Join us for outdoor dining on our deck complete with heat lamps and heated benches.  Indoor dining is also available.  You can walk up or sail up to the dock and we will deliver to you.  Enjoy Sam’s-to-Go with quick and safe pickup or delivery.  We welcome guests on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

    We are also the perfect location for your private celebration.  We are all about birthdays, anniversaries, rehearsal dinners, cocktail parties, business luncheons, group brunches, wedding receptions, and teambuilding and corporate retreats.

    Hours of Operation:  Monday – Friday  Noon – 10:00pm
