Sam's by the Sea



Last night we went to dinner to celebrate Greg's recent accomplishments. We went to a cute little kitschy restaurant called Sam's by the sea. Sam is quite a restauranteur here in Okinawa, he owns no less that 13 places.  Some are tepanyaki, some are hawaiian themed (like the one we went to) others are cafes.  At Sam's by the sea, you of course have a view of the ocean, through porthole like windows, all the servers are wearing sailor suits. Our server was named Mikiyo and she was probably at least 70. She looked adorable in her sailor suit, Greg wanted me to take a picture with her but I was too embarrassed.  The place has wonderfully fresh seafood. Greg got filet mignon with indonesian prawns, which came with the heads on and were probably at least 6 inches long. I got crab legs and prime rib, and Gabriella got golden fried shrimp. Gabriella and I also got drinks in hilarious cups as pictured above. I got to keep my cup, but Gabriella did not. She did spend most of the meal playing with the swords the cherries were attached to and at the end of the meal she finished off her skull and the checked the back to make sure it was empty.  You have to check out our photo share site to see all the other pictures, including our smoking shrimp cocktail and Gabriella eating the eyeball off of the prawn head. It was a great place for dinner, we will go again for our next celebration.
