There were 22,635 voters, 10,425 nominees and 175 winners in the 2013 contest.
Sam's Chowder House
Nestled on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Sam's offers stunning sunsets, true oceanfront outdoor dining, and a casual and authentic seafood experience reminiscent of an East Coast style seafood house. Watch the crashing surf inside by the fireplace, dine outside under a cozy heat lamp, or settle into an Adirondack chair near a toasty fire pit on Sam's dog-friendly patio and enjoy the crisp, salty ocean air.
"Amazing views of the bay whether dining al fresco or inside. Your spirits will soar even higher when your meal arrives!"
