    Sam's is a classic, old school restaurant with an amazing, timeless atmosphere which has served downtown financial district denizens and politicians. The white tablecloths, dark wood wainscoting and intimate private dining booths give it a mystical aura. And our food was really excellent - grilled branzino, the hangtown fry, filet of sole, caesar salad *with anchovies*, a great bottle of French wine, and their delicious New England style clam chowder -- everything was superb. Our service was also Sam's is one of my absolute favorite restaurants and I cannot recommend it enough.

    My first time at Red Lobster and just their biscuits itself deserves its own ten star reviews! The service was perfect as well as the rest of the food. The place was clean and I saw them clean the tables properly.
