sammy g's tavern

let me start off by saying that i went  into this dinner with a little bit of a bias.  i’m a fan of sammy g’s, i have been craving a particular salad for at least a week now.  i knew it would be delicious.  what is there to review?  i found plenty.  knowing that i would write this (greg said it was my turn), i began to look at the menu andfoodwith a little more depth. upon arrival we were greeted by the nicest hostess  i’ve ever encountered.  the lady remembers us every time we walk through the doors.  “sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came” is the background music in my head.   we’re off to a good start.  she seats us within five minutes.  the restaurant isn’t packed but it is rather early as we have somewhere to be at 8pm.  a nice crowd though. the waiter, brent, arrives wearing a smile and perhaps a bit too much enthusiasm.  it’s early still on a friday; too much coffee i think.  brent is very efficient.  he tells us the special

very disrespectful manager. i am never one to write a bad review for a restaurant simply because i understand that sometimes there are "bad" days for everyone. however, the service my friends and i received was something i just could not keep to myself. my girlfriends and i decided to go there for their wine and appetizer special. they normally go every wednesday after work. we were under the impression that from 4-6 apps were half price as well as select wine, again they were regulars and knew the specials. as our waiter came to our table 4 times to ask what we would like to eat he heard us say and ask that we had until 6pm to order apps to get the half price, was never told differently. when we got our bills we noticed they were full price. when we spoke to the manager he was extremely rude and argued with us for 5 minutes with no explanation other than "thats our rule!" apparently to take advantage of the half price apps you have to be physically sitting at the bar (we were sitting in the bar area- just not actually at the bar) no where did it state that you had to be sitting in a certain location to get the special... the worst part was the attitude of the manager/ chef. i have worked in thefoodindustry for years and have never come across a situation where the manager argued with the consumer the way that he did. he was extremely disrespectful. we have also tried to have company luncheons there which the organizing went completely wrong... but thats a whole other story. we will not be returning and we will continue to voice our experience.

my boyfriend and i ate there last night and we loved it! the service was wonderful and thefoodwas delicious! they also have a very good selection of beer on draft. we will definitely be going back soon!

very hard to please!. we always go to o'so tavern on wednesday afternoon because of 1/2 wine and appetizers. thefoodand atmosphere is always enjoyable! the tuna tostadas and crab cake appetizers are our personal favorites!!!

we were here two nights ago and thefoodand service was excellent. back for another dinner.

not so good.. we liked the ambience, but that is about all. service lacked and our waiter could not describe thefoodon the menu. we did not care for the flavor of the dishes we ate. won't be back.

eat there soon, because they won't be there long unless under new mgmt.foodwas decent, waitress snippy, bill calculated incorrectly, manager was a jerk about it.

greatfood- bad guinness pour. greatfoodand wait staff. it's one of my regulars. the only complaint i have is that they don't know how to pour a guinness. asking the bartender for a proper pour only gets nasty remarks.
