About
Visitors mention that it's fine to go here for the Spanish meal. Serving perfectly cooked duck, mini tacos and garlic shrimps is the unique characteristic of this bar. Order tasty sundaes, biscuits and blueberry pancakes. According to the reviewers' opinions, waiters serve delicious draft beer, martinis or wine. To make your meal even tastier, try coffee which is stated to be great. Live music is played by musicians in the evening. Many reviewers consider the staff attentive. The terrific service is something these restaurateurs care about. Fair prices are what you are to pay for your meal. The cute decor and exotic atmosphere let guests feel relaxed here. Sammy's Restaurant & Bar is ranked 4.4 within the Google grading system.

The Carne Asada tacos were trash, which is wild because the steak was good quality. Seemed to be over marinated in ginger, but it didn’t come together well. Not to mention, $20 for two baby twos is a crime. Salsa was way too heavy in garlic as well. skip the tacos With that said, the presentation was good and the vibe was cool. Stoneys was also surprisingly clean and chill Open to changing the review if I return. In the meantime 3 stars is fair Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
The server was great, the casino was a bit loud which is fine if you are okay with that. It's great there was no smoking inside that I was aware of. What I am writing this review about was the food, which to be honest was mostly okay. We got dumplings to share, which was pretty nice. She got some kind of chicken and rice bowl, which was also pretty nice. I got the waygu cheeseburger with fries. From the start with my first fry, I thought if the rest of the food was this good, we were in for a great night. And then I tasted the burger. It was just missing something. There was nothing special about it. I tried putting ranch on it, and that didn't do it. I tried a mouthful of the burger and a bite of the pickle, which did add some, but it just wasn't right. For beef that is supposedly of a higher quality (waygu) than your normal grocery beef, the flavor was just not there. It was as if it was just hiding. Or it wasn't seasoned enough, or the bun just wasn't a right fit for this thing. I was disappointed. Everything else was pretty damn good, but the burger definitely missed the mark. Then as a to-go order we got the apple pie pizza since that seemed interesting, and I gotta say, it just didn't work. A thin pizza crust with the apple pie fillings on top is a giant miss. It really needed that pie crust to bring it all together. It was basically like emptying an apple pie onto a plate and told people to dip flavorless crackers into it. So the waygu cheeseburger was missing something, and the apple pie pizza was a dud. The rest of the stuff was great, but these 2 food options just didn't work. For a restaurant, the food is the most important thing to me, which is why I gave this overall a 3 instead of 4. Also apparently her something sunset drink wasn't great either. She said it was good on the alcohol portion, but the flavor wasn't good. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Pork Dumplings
