   The food was really good. I could have made a meal out of the bread and oil. The server was really helpful.

   I have been to Sammy's many times and finally tried the Eggplant Parmesan! Fantastic!! Of course, in addition to great food, the host and wait staff are always courteous and attentive which is why I keep coming back!

   Our waitress Gabby was above and beyond wonderful! She was working so hard, but that never impacted our experience. Absolutely top notch and as always the food was delicious!

   It was our first visit to Sammy’s and the experience was overall pretty positive. To start, the bread is absolutely delicious as was my cocktail. My chicken Marsala was just so-so and our sides were delivered way after our entrees. In fact, we had to flag down a server in order to get them. The tiramisu was disappointing - very mushy with too few lady fingers and too much cream. Our friends loved their meals and would like to return. We all were surprised by the amount of the check - no bargains there, particularly with the addition of drinks.

   Several of the dishes had little flavor, including the crabmeat bruschetta and tuna carpaccio. The chicken Milanese was a nice portion and texture but again needed seasoning. I had to ask for salt and Parmesan. On a busy Friday night, this meant long periods waiting for a server to appear. My companion’s lobster ravioli was left half eaten. Overall, $200 for a three person dinner (we each had 3 drinks) left us wanting.

   A friend and I had lunch at Sammy's on 3/11/25. Paul, the server, was absolutely wonderful. He was friendly, engaging, courteous and attentive. Paul has been our server on previous visits and he consistently does an excellent job. My friend and I both ordered the Julia Salad with grilled chicken. It's our absolute favorite and it never disappoints in terms of portion size and flavor. The dressing is excellent. Sammy's bread is also a standout. We had one concern that affected the "value" and "overall" ratings for our experience. On our last visit just a few weeks ago, the price of the Julia Salad with chicken was $16. Sammy's has now increased the price of the Julia Salad with grilled chicken from $16 to $22. The cost of the base salad with no protein is $9 which means customers are paying an additional $13 ($9 for the base salad plus $13 for the chicken = new price of $22) for the handful of strips of grilled chicken added to the base salad. This latest price increase is in addition to at least one prior increase for this salad. That price increase really gives us pause as to whether we will be able to return again. It's way too much. The dining room is lovely and the outdoor dining option is wonderful for enjoying good weather. The bar area is also a terrific option for those who prefer the bar. We noticed some other menu items had significant price increases. Significant price increases present a huge risk for driving loyal customers like us away even though this is a wonderful restaurant.

    As always, Sammy's provided a great evening for a birthday celebration. The appetizers (crab toast, fried calamari, charcuterie board and of course the bread and dipping sauce) were outstanding! Awesome pizza. The cocktails were very well made. The server was very attentive to our group on this busy Friday evening. We always pick Sammy's for celebrations. And we love the bar area and its vibe.
