Sam's Boat

Kristen is so well balanced and personal! She knows how to treat you right and keep you happy. Made sure I had a great time and even recommended a great dish! Personable enough to keep me coming!

Food is good. Service is okay. We came here twice and both time, different servers, they were hard to find. Seems like they stayed in the back and forgot about us. Took forever to get greeted -by anyone-, drinks took forever, then they would leave without asking if we were ready to order so we would have to just wait until they came back even though we were ready to order everything before being greeted. If they worked on the service, they would have a way better turn around time. The first time we came the food was good but the server was hard to find. We gave it another shot since it was a busy night. Second time, same thing, no excuse. Although, I will say that the second time our server seemed to sense our frustration and halfway through our experience she showed face more but it turned to her being a little obnoxious. She showed 5-10 min after our meal came from another server and when we told her we were missing food, she could tell we were frustrated, hastily brought the food then showed every 5 minutes until we left. If they put some training into their servers this place could be great.

Like the laid-back vibe. Feels like a decent place to hang out and have a couple of drinks. Ceviche was surprisingly good; run-of-the-mill shrimp and fish basket. Was within walking distance of my hotel so a good choice even though there is probably better to be had in this town.

This place brings back all the nostalgia of being on the water in the Houston area, with a little Austin pop. Their food is more fresh than I thought it could be this far from the gulf. Great place to unwind and dig into some seafood. I definitely recommend the fried oysters and calamari.

Called for directions and was assisted by a very nice young woman on the phone. Arrived without any problem due to her help. There was live entertainment as it was a Thursday night as they feature live entertainment on Thursdays and Sundays only. The hostess recognized my voice from the phone and was very welcoming!! We had a great table. Our server was a little slow but there was a lot of people. Our food was great and the beignets with praline sauce for dessert were incredible!!!
