Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

After hearing good reports about this restaurant I went there with my wife to celebrate her birthday. The wine and food was excellent. The service was extraordinary with lots of chatter and laughs from the staff. I could not fault it. I would suggest it’s...one of the best, if not the best restaurant in Torquay. I’ll be back there again upon opening.More

Went to Samesyn last August ( and gave it a great review) so returned this weekend to see if it was a one off. Another great experience - wonderful service and ambience. The torched sardines were fresh and flavoursome but my slow cooked lamb was...a standout - perfect generous serve and flavour packed. As one other reviewer noted - this may be one of the best dining experiences in Victoria. We concur.More

A very enjoyable evening at this Torquay local that is punching above it's weight. Well designed menu using local, top quality ingredients. Lovely beetroot starter and the impressive torched sardines dish were both faultless and the Otway duck main (a terrific product) as delicious as...one would expect. Desserts likewise both excellent. The one kitchen misfire that did occur was immediately and graciously rectified. Only substantive complaint we had centers on the bread, which was appallingly bad. Slices of a poor quality baguette with a shard-like crust and mealy crumb....really no excuse. Melbourne pricing, so not a cheap night out but generally justified. Wine list is excellent- both interesting and good value; complemented with top quality glassware. Seating is well spaced and the service was both friendly and professional.More

Have to go along way for this experience. We bought our daughter and partner a voucher for his new restaurant and she was was so impressed, and not always easy to please this much, that she took us there a week later. Excellent food, and...brilliant menu.More

Restaurants take a leaf out of Samesyn's book. Happy to pay the price for service with a smile. We went here for a family birthday and they could not have been more accommodating. We had a picky 15 year old, a pescatarian and a daughter...running late from the city. Nothing was an issue, they took it all in their stride. Some of the wines on the list weren't available but I just love the way it was handled with good humour. The food is nothing short of outstanding but it is that personal touch; good natured staff prepared to go out of their way to accommodate all the quirks of a family of 6 that makes this place a stand out. Highly recommend Samesyn - just make it easier to leave a tip on the eftpos machine!More

Brilliant experience from start to finish. Great service ( I mean really knew their menu/wine etc) and every dish was sublime. The share structure worked really well - and we left full! On top of that the $84 per person was actually great value. In...Europe this would be at least 1 Michelin starMore

Booked into Samesyn after reading reviews on TripAdvisor and we are so glad we did. This is a hidden treasure in Torquay. The fixed price menu offers such good value and it was so generous that we had to decline the cheese course. We especially...loved the oysters, tuna taco, duck and peach dessert. The service was impeccable and we appreciated the dessert wine gifted to us because we didn’t have all the courses, little touches like that mean a lot. Definitely recommend Samesyn when you are next near Torquay - book early as it was fully booked on a Wednesday night!More

Have been for both lunch & dinner with different friends and the food is unbelievably beautiful. Definitely the best restaurant in Torquay and if it doesnt have a hat or two, it should. We all loved it & will keep returning.
