We were staying across the road in the Grand Mercure and whenever we're away we always love a steak at least once. Sam's Steak house set in the Holiday Inn hotel 100 yards away was incredible. I booked the table by email and received a...confirmation the next day. I was expecting, because of the name, a steak, burger, ribs type of place but it couldn't be further from it, this was a culinary delight, bordering on fine dining. We ordered starters, but before they came we were brought out 2 salmon hor's d'oeuvres, absolutely lovely, I was so happy my wife doesn't like fish so I polished them off, just a lovely touch and no charge! Our starters were lobster bisque and broccoli soup, the latter being served in a scooped out brown loaf so when you got near the bottom you scrape the bread off as well, my wife loved it!
Before our main course which was the chateau Briande, we were brought out lemon sorbets to cleanse the palate and lovely and fresh and totally unexpected. Finally, what we came for the steak was cooked to our liking, the price included any sauce of your choice, a veg selection, and a choice of mash, fries.or potatoes. It was a lovely dining experience and all for the price of around 85 euro. I have to give a mention to the staff, who were on the ball as soon as we walked in, great service and I would highly recommend if ever you're stayin in Phuket to visit Sam's Steak House, you won't be disappointed!More
