Located above Louis Boston on Fan Pier, Sam's is a stylish little waterfront restaurant from Esti and Drew Parsons. The smartly appointed dining room, outfitted with aluminum diner tables, white leather banquettes and floor-to-ceiling windows, boasts spectacular 180 degree views of the Boston skyline and waterfront.

The menu, using the local bounty of New England's farms and artisans, combines the simplicity of an American diner with the endless and timeless appeal of the French Bistro menu.

A trend-setter for the Waterfront dining community in Fort Point Channel, Sam's is perched between the ICA and Moakley Courthouse (and just a short walk to the Boston Convention Center, World Trade Center, and Bank of America Pavilion). The restaurant is open throughout the day serving lunch and dinner as well as Sunday brunch. During the warmer months, seating is available on their wrap-around, 80-seat patio. They'll even pack a picnic for you to enjoy on their lawn or on the water, if you happen to arrive by boat.
