| - Finally, I try Sammy's! It was well worth the wait. We arrive around 7pm on a week night. The place is pretty steady. We're seated. So far, so good.
Our drink orders arrive in a timely manner. Sip, sip. Now we have a dilemna, what to order. I play it safe and get the Garlic Cheese Bread for an appetizer and Caesar salad for an entree. The fiance orders the Brie Cheese w/Truffle Oil Thin Crust Pizza. The cheese bread arrives and tastes alright. Good start! My salad arrives and looks pretty good--large and fresh. Bite, munch, chomp, ewwwwwwwwwww. Looks are deceiving. I don't know what it was about their dressing but it tasted gross! Slightly fishy is okay but just gross. I eat about seven forks-worth to see if the taste would change, nope. Yuck! The Brie Cheese w/Truffle pizza arrives and looks so-so. Very bland and overloaded with truffle oil. Half of it was forcefully eaten.
Our server was pleasant and asked how our food was. We sincerely replied "It's okay." She definitely noticed we weren't very happy with the food. Hmm, kind of disappointing that she offered no remedy. Later, she asked if she could box up our leftovers but we declined. She again asked, "Was everything okay?" We let her know we didn't like the taste of our food, particularly the salad and the pizza. She apologizes but we reaffirm with her it's not her fault our taste buds don't agree with Sammy's. First of all, I really wish she would've offered to substitute another dish since she obviously knew we didn't like our food. Then, we get our check. Everything is accounted for, including the wine and two sodas that were ordered. WTF! She couldn't even omit the sodas! Luckily, our bill was small, around $40, all said and done $48 down the tubes. I should've been a stickler and asked for some sort of compensation but, I just can't be "THAT" person.
