Sam's Deli & Bistro

Next up is a review for Sam's Deli & Bistro at 805 Government st.

Access: Not good. The accessible entrance is partially obscured by patio furniture, and some serious fenangling was needed to actually access the restaurant. (Luckily, the patio patrons were most kind and patient during the process.) Once inside, moving around was fairly easy, but indoor seating with a stroller was limited.

Food: My shrimp and avocado sandwich was ultra-fresh, if a bit bland. The chili was delicious, as was the peanut butter dessert square. Overall, a strong showing, and I will very likely return.

Service: Very good -- Fast, friendly.

Cost: A half-sandwich, a cup of chili, an Orangiata and a dessert square came to $15, which is somewhere between ok and somewhat pricey.

Baby Friendliness: Neither here nor there. Neutral clientele, and a bit quiet. Didn't investigate washrooms.

Overall Grade: B-
The good food and service elevate this tricky-to-access restaurant from a C-grade to a B-minus.


Next up is a temporary departure in subject matter -- stay tuned to find out what it will be!
