Vernon Rollins is the best sommelier I’ve seen. He has an incredible knowledge of wine, but is not a wine snob. His style works with novices as well as serious wine buffs – non intimidating. There are hundreds of great wines from the 70’s and 80’s at very fair prices. He buys them when released and does not raise the price much over the years. He said “I keep the prices low because I buy them for people to drink.” The food was simply wonderful. As good as it was before the remodel. We’ve been blessed to be able to enjoy many of the great restaurants around the world and consider Sammy’s one of the best.

I guess everything changes, but….anyway, I was curious, the chef Charlene Rollins is mentioned, but nothing about her partner/husband, who always added so much to the dining experience. Is he still part of the operation? And does the fact that they are serving lunches detract from the evening dining. I know I’m hymming and hawing, but it was always such a special place to use, that we hate to think they have gone mainstream.
