| - Glad there is a restaurant of this caliber in the Northwest where choices are few and far between.
Came here Friday evening for dinner. It was fairly busy but casual and enjoyable dining experience.
I liked the quick order at the counter, fill your own drinks, and seat yourself system. Reminds me of the "upscale casual" dining I'm used to at home. It was quick, efficient, and you don't have to sit around waiting for service (which also leaves the door open for less obligation to tip-- but you would of course given the follow up wait service.. i.e. clearing plates, bringing boxes, refilling drinks, etc.).
The kobe sliders and fries were pretty good and simple. I enjoyed the sundried tomato artisan crust pizza and small plates meatballs with marinara. Both were delicious and fairly filling. The messy sundae was the BEST PART -- 1/3 whipped cream, 1/3 hot fudge, 1/3 vanilla ice cream. It was a great and decently priced ending to the meal.. especially for a sweet tooth like me. My fiancee split it with some left over to spare so it was a pretty hefty size.
Would definitely come here again for no frills/hassle, quick but not too fast, dining.
P.S. It just dawned on me that Sammys is a San Diego based restaurant which may explain my affinity for Table 89 and why the type of service is not a surprise to me.. vice what previous commenters are saying (which is a little aggravating). The "style" of this restaurant is not unusual in Southern California. Some days I want to enjoy my meal for 2 hours and other days I just want a quick in/out.
