Sammy's was delicious! The atmosphere was wonderful and our waitress was extremely attentive and friendly! Only downside was the timing. We had a reservation at 5:45 with tickets to an event at 7:30 which was only 1 block away. Upon being seated, our waitress told us that we should immediately put our order in because they were so busy (as many people had reservations for the same event as its one of the only restaurants nearby). Even with putting our order in within being seated for 10 minutes, we had to rush eating our meal as it arrived around almost 6:50 pm. Restaurant needs to be aware that they will be that busy when there are events on a particular evening and either take less reservations or bring in more staff so that the wait for food doesn't take an hour (we were only a party of two people).
