Sam's Boatshed - Williamstown

The waitress who greeted us and served us during our stay was a genuine delight, full of personality and very helpful, and this made for a very enjoyable dinner experience. Admittedly we arrived just after 6pm and before the main influx of diners, so we had no issues with the time it took to get our 5 meals. The pizzas were nice with plenty of toppings, and when we asked for some chilli sauce (instead of the chilli flakes) the staff were very accommodating and provided some delicious chilli jam made by the chef.I know this place gets some harsh reviews, but all I can say is that our group had a very nice experience and I'd be happy to come back again for a relaxed meal.

Had a good healthy lunch with a fresh platter and topped off with some wine from a great selection. Will definitely go back again.

Worst dining experience ever. Kids fish was like rubber (not an exaggeration). Flat soft drink that could not/would not be corrected. Stale chips. Runny watery sauces on all dishes. Medium well steak comes out rare. Awful!

What a disaster. 6 people in our party - 4 adults, 2 kids. Sunday lunch, not too busy. One dish, for one of the kids came out at 75 mins later. Next one for the other kid 15 mins later. Then the two mains after another 10 mins, followed by another main 10 mins later. The last main just never arrived.... no explanation.The salmon was not cooked, steak over cooked, surf and turf smothered in a white sauce. Prawns were well cooked and steak was tasty.Service was atrocious. And, it seemed like there were many others having the same experience.Hopefully just having a bad day, but won't be back, and can't in all honesty, recommend it to anyone else. Sadly.

Great atmosphere and excellent food. Good value... Even the kids enjoyed it. Will definitely return.
