Sam's is the kind of old-school spot that attracts loyal regulars right to the beach. The warm, inviting atmosphere is complemented by a menu of favorites including blue cheese salad, seafood risotto, roasted lamb shank, lobster mousse salad and veal cordon bleu. Owner Sam Elias's Syrian roots are apparent in such offerings as a sampler trio of hummus, tabbouleh and baba ghanoush--a local favorite. The ambience is intimate and lovely--great for a classy date before a nighttime stroll on the beach. The servers were very warm and attentive.
