    This was my fourth time visiting the restaurant, the last time being 10 years ago. The food and service ended up to a great experience. If you’re looking for an inexpensive restaurant, this is certainly not it, however, if you’re looking for an overall wonderful experience, I highly  recommend it

    What a gem this lovely outdoor dining area is (with heat lamps for cooler nights) and the service was excellent. My rye Manhattan was so good I ordered two and the avocado/soft egg “Townie Toast” was delicious, not to mention its presentation with two tiny yellow edible flowers was breathtakingly beautiful. Lastly, my mushroom and corn risotto dish may well have been the best risotto I’ve ever eaten! My dinner partner chose the fried chicken, for which they’re apparently known, and he said unequivocally that it did not disappoint. I’ll definitely be returning and plan to make this a stop on the itineraries of all our out-of-town guests!

    A great dining experience as always. Best outdoor seating — palm trees, fountain, quiet piazza — in Palm Springs. Good seafood choices on the menu, excellent preparation. The crusty bread and olive tapenade are the best in town, and the “on the house” amaretto and biscotti are truly a treat. On this occasion we were served by Carlos, who is personable, attentive, and helpful — in general, a real asset to Sammy’s. Overall, a most pleasant dining experience!
