As usual, it was a lovely breakfast at Sam social club! We sat outside and it was very quiet and beautiful garden. My husband ordered the avocado toast, English muffin, and I had a cappuccino, English muffin, and an omelette. Not sure what flavor the jam is, but it is so fresh and delicious ! The servers and host are friendly and very quick!

Loved our dinner at Sam's and will be back. Nice to sit by the fire outside after dinner. Though I must mention their outdoor heaters were also great to sit by outside as well. We would've been cold without them but they keep it comfortable outside.

Off night! Kitchen lost track of our very simple order and the waitress wasn’t paying attention so everyone seated after us was receiving their meals. Even after we found her to complain our order was a long time coming. We should have left.

Start with the good…great waiter, Alex! Solid service. Great Octopus, Desert Churos phenomenal. The opportunity…prime rib was overcooked and tough for that cut of beef. We probably should have sent it back. We ate half. Probably much better entree items on the menu. We would give them another shot, but would go in another direction on entree.

There to have a birthday celebration brunch. Food did not disappoint. I was hoping there would have been a little welcome wish, treat, or dessert for the birthday girl. We did order the Churros which were amazing!

This was our 2nd Brunch visit. The food is consistent albeit the toast was cold with the butter on the side. The banana bread with mascarpone was lovely-- a very small amount of homemade jam on the side was provided, (we had to request additional). We originally requested a patio table however, upon arrival, we felt the live music was too loud to comfortably converse, so we were seated inside. The dining room was pleasant. Our waiter could have been more attentive -- we mostly saw him working the tables outside. We will return for brunch again.

Overall great experience. We had reservations for lunch and were seated promptly. Nice laidback atmosphere. Service was excellent. Our group had the classic Cobb salad, country pizza, pork schnitzel and the pasta of the day. Each dish was fresh and properly prepared. The pork schnitzel in particular was very good as we all shared a bite. Portions were appropriate. Typical Napa valley prices for similar entrees. All in all a very nice, relaxing meal. No issues recommending to a friend.

We have eaten at Sam's several times. This is the 1st time the food we chose was just not good. Salmon was over done on one end and RAW on the other. Creamy whipped potatoes were beyond salty. Reminiscent of tv dinner mashed potatoes. Usually pan burst cherry tomatoes are a favorite of mine. These were so very bitter. At the height of garden tomato season they were a big disappointment. My husband and I shared a caesar salad which was crisp little jewel romaine with basil as a nice taste treat. As well as the ricotta crostini, which was really yummy. Dessert was Candy Cap Churros which Sam's is known for. My husband who is not inclined to complain finished his entree. I barely ate any. Our Flowers Chard was lovely. Our server, Andy was amazing in every way and without us asking took the cost of my entree off our tab. One bad meal will not keep us away from Sam's.

We chose the dine-in option and enjoyed the air conditioning after a hot 101 degree day at the Indian Springs Spa. The ambiance was pleasant, seating and restrooms were clean. Our server and the wait staff were professional, friendly, and informative about the food and beverage menus. Beverages and starters were served promptly and our entrees were held for serving until we completed the starters. Our server checked in a couple times, which was appreciated. After dinner coffee/tea was served with dessert. Would like to try the outdoor dining option next time. Over all, a good dining experience. Would highly recommend Sam's Social Club.

We had a lovely meal outside on the patio. The cheese plate was delicious. We each had salad—arugula with peaches, goat cheese, peaches, and marcona almonds and a Caesar. Yum. A Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc—crisp and dry.

Came for dinner and the food prepared to order, hot and was fine. The poor bartender was totally overrun, Not sure why a leader didn't reassign a staff member to help, or at least pour beers and wine so she could concentrate on the craft drinks. We felt bad for her and she was working super hard. The only thing we did not enjoy was how many employees were laser focused on cleaning up and closing down at 8:50pm, and found it unwelcoming for us and all the other diners.

I love Sam’s Social club and usually have a great experience there. I informed the wait staff of my allergy but somehow, there must have been cross-contamination because I had an allergic reaction to my food. It’s such a bummer because I’ve never had an issue there.
