Sam's Anchor Cafe

Don't judge this "book" by it's cover. Cause the real beauty of this place is the outside seating area on the back deck! Selection is wonderful, so is the presentation. Food is high quality 👌 and service quick and friendly. We visited on a clear day beginning of April and enjoyed ourselves wonderfully.

I love this restaurant for its terrace right in the Tiburon Marina, with a beautiful million-dollar view of San Francisco and the bay! Interesting cuisine with seafood and signature cocktails with fresh products and beautiful presentation, very good waiters. If it’s cold, there are gas lamps for warmth and blankets. You can sit inside and it’s very cozy there. Friendly pet. I’m a regular customer and always on the level .

Food was great. We went for a lunch and the vibes overlooking the marina are awesome. I got the calamari which was huge and really tasty. Also tried the fish tacos, which i thought were OK, probably wouldn't get those again (but also had just filled up on fried calamari so...). Will return.

Fried chicken sandwich is tasty. So is the French fries. Iced tea and tip total is $36.5. nice view and very relaxing too.

Had an amazing experience for my birthday at this place. We started with some Calamari, one of the best Ive ever had, right texture and taste and with a delicious dipping sauce on the side. As entrées we had Cioppino and the Fish of the Day, both fantastic, specially the fish (halibut) accompanied by butternut squatch and brussel sprouts with a touch of bacon, the flavor combination was fantastic. The tossup salad was also very tasty, very filling, rich and refreshing at the same time. For dessert we got the cheesecake and the mousse, both great with the cheesecake being served with this delicious berry sauce. We had amazing service from Nikki, very sweet and attentive lady. We were very pleased by her and the restaurants ambiance. Since we did dinner, next time I want to have lunch to enjoy more of the great views from their deck.

Good food with amazing view for big groups.
One of the best seafood restaurants in Tiburon, it is look like bar from entrance and has small door but as you enter the place, u will find a huge outside area on the sea with amazing view, really recommend the place, also the food is delicious and fresh, I like the Baja fish tacos and fried Calamari was so good, customer service is not really good, they took time but because it was so busy at the weekend, thank u for this amazing experience.

It was a great afternoon treat. And it was a great coincidence. We would go to another restaurant, but they closed this time.
So we were here already ( in Tiburon), and Sam’s seemed interesting.
After we got in, I ordered fish and chips. It sounded just a normal meal, holy cow! it was so good! Fish was fresh, and chips were crunchy and tasty with their special recipe. We had another plates as well. All was excellent.
Atmosphere was amazing, it was perfect for our lunch. We can see San Francisco across the bay. The restaurant was crowded with local folks. Staffs were helpful, glad we picked this place.
If you’ve never been here, pls try out!

This place is terrible. Stay away. I am kidding. I just hate to have it get too well-known.

This place is EXCELLENT! The food, the view, the wait staff. It is worth taking the detour to Tiburon. We always go a couple of times if we are in the Bay Area or close. ALWAYS. It is a destination for my husband and I each visit.

Their French onion soup, onion rings, grilled fish, salads, mixed drinks, and they have a nice wine selection. We always eat on the deck as long as the servers are out there. They have propane heaters if you need them, plus a basket of blankets. I wish we lived closer and I would go there weekly.

There are some fun little shops on the same street as Sam's that are fun to peruse before or after, too. It is a great area with a view of the City. Watch the waterfowl swim around, and see the boats on the water - it's a little bit of heaven.

Great spot to grab a bite to eat on a sunny Winter Solstice with beautiful views of the bay. The food was great - I had a fried chicken sandwich and blue cheese garlic bread - but it was understandably a bit on the pricier side. It's Tiburon, CA 😅

We got to see some people pull up and park their boats as most people would do with their cars, which was quite interesting.

I'll be back for sure 😃

Relaxed, friendly and casual outdoor restaurant with large harbour side deck boasting marina views across to San Francisco. Great service and fab food. A wonderful place to celebrate the last night of our epic USA holiday.

Visited their restaurant via boat on a Friday and the service was spectacular! There’s room for 6 skinny boats on a good day. Otherwise 3-4 max on low tide. We had RTP walk to the host to let them know we wanted to eat at the boat instead of their patio. They quickly came to take our drink order...full bar is available now.

The food was great. Can never go wrong with their salads, but it’s not always as filling as I’d like. So I suggest things such as their “Crab-Avocado Toast” or their “Crispy Chicken Sandwich”. Both are offered with a side salad. Careful on the calamari, it’s super good, but oily. I recommend asking for a side of Tabasco to add to their dip to spice it up. 💪🏼

We were extremely lucky to get a spot during lunch, even for a sunny Friday in early spring. Boaters are always very nice and accommodating to shift their lines for you...even if they are up on the patio eating.

Absolutely beautiful experience! Food was sensational and view was lovely. They also have blankets for guests when it gets a little breezy.

Excellent and friendly service. The food and drinks came out quickly and I was seated immediately. The food is on the more expensive side but is more than worth it as you can taste the freshness. Bayside views are gorgeous. A great stop for food after exploring Muir Woods and beach or when you want to get away from the city

Beautiful day out on the patio. Fish Tacos and Crab on Toast for a light bite. Other patrons were friendly too.

Wonderful spot, delicious food, catch of the day was great and enjoyed the clam chowder and crab cakes as well. Plenty of other choices also available. Prices are not cheap but quality is commiserate.

Service was a tiny bit slow, but the outdoor deck seating with heated seats and views of San Francisco more than made up for it.

In the wake of a monotonous day we chose to eat here. They have a bar and eatery. We were situated promptly and given water for the table. Our server Meghan welcomed us with an immense grin! She was incredible and mindful to our table. The sustenance was tasty and the beverages were perfect. She helped me choose a beverage and her suggestions didn't baffle. The perspectives are wonderful of San Francisco from our table. Clean and this incorporates the washrooms. Nice experience!

I sat at the bar and had 3 lovely Irish coffees and watched the T-wolves fold in the last minute in game 2 of the 2024 WCF... the usual pretty people were in abundance but Mike the bartender had plenty of time for a disheveled soul just passing time. Id make the trek back just to hang and make small talk with Mike. Thank you sir! Thank you Sam's

I loved this place! Clams pasta, beet crab salad, lobster bisque!

Great spot for a seafood lunch, especially when the sun is out! They have an amazing outdoor patio right by the water, and staff are super friendly and professional. Food was delicious, and very fresh. Highlights were the oysters and fish tacos, which were amazing due to the freshness and quality of the seafood itself!

The cucumber cooler was by far the most refreshing drink I have ever had! And don't get me started on the horseradish for the oysters! Incredible! Just everything here including the view was incredible!
