    The service was friendly and we were served promptly. The food was not very good. The filet was tough, chewy. The gnocchi dish was not as described, and the gnocchi were some sort of cream filled pasta, not gnocchi.

    Really enjoyed our meal st SamBs. Our first time. Able to reserve a table for 6. Seated promptly. Olivia our server was attentive and polite. The kitchen relayed some info to make our meals better. Food was served hot and everyone enjoyed their food-sliders, walleye sandwiches-perch and salmon dinner. Would recommend

    We went there because we could not find another option that sounded good to us in the Waterville/Toledo area last night. I came across SamBs through an area restaurant listing and I recalled going there in BG years ago, and was always pleased. I made reservations and when we arrived at where I thought it was, the restaurant is now Becketts, and the GPS directed us to your current location. We were extremely pleased to walk into your establishment with the ambiance that we appreciate. We were promptly seated and waited on by your wonderful waitress (unfortunately we do not recall her name). We ordered the bacon and cheese Brussels sprouts and your special, the blackened mahi Mahi dinner. Both were superb. We will be soon coming back! Thank you !
