When I went inside the host was a bit short but asked if I had a reservation. I did not and he stated he could seat me immediately at the bar which I was absolutely fine with. I sat down and was the only person so I started to peruse the menu. I decided on a drink and Brinley took my order. He was very friendly and attentive even though he was pouring left and right. Once my Limoncello Sidecar showed up in front of me I had made my lunch choices. The Alla Tommy part had me intrigued. I also got the Malfadine with Funghi and Tartufo, which is basically mushrooms and truffles. While I was waiting for the food fresh bread appeared and it was focaccia. The focaccia was warm with a hint of salt and rosemary. It wasn't over done and the percent amount of flavor. It was buttery and warm and just delightful really. Soon my Caesar Salad Alla Tommy was placed and boy was I surprised. It was a large mound of romaine hearts(the best part of a head of lettuce) with tons of cheese shaved top and some lemon zest. The crowning jewel as you will was layered on the inside. It was a mix of an oil with Calabrian chilis and crunchy bread crumbs of focaccia mixed it. It was a bit spicy but cooled down with that creamy Caesar dressing. I seriously could not eat the salad fast enough. It was so good and I wanted more and I didn't want it to end. I finished the salad my beautiful pasta was not far behind. It was steaming hot and the aroma was fragrant and inviting. The sauce was a lighter white sauce full of mushroom flavor. Now you know mushrooms can be a bit overbearing or "dirty" tasting. This absolutely was not the case. The mushrooms were meaty and so juicy. The pasta was cooked perfectly and it was just the right portion. I didn't feel heavy when I was done eating. We continued our conversation about food and local restaurants as he continued to pour drinks. This was honestly just perfect. I was in town for eating and he had some excellent suggestions and reaffirmed some places I had been contemplating. I was so thankful that he took the time for me. I passed on the dessert and was shortly on my way to my next destination full of ideas on food. The story doesn't end there though....all day all I could think about was the Caesar Salad. I had to live in the top 3 of my lifetime and if you remember I order it any time it's on the menu. I'd venture to say it's number 1 realistically. I had another snack and continued to think about the salad. At 10pm that night when I was back at the hotel I decided that I wanted to order the salad to go and grab a slice while I was out and about. I ordered online for pick up and headed down to my rental. I went to leave and the dash lights lit up with all types of warnings and I had no power steering. I had to wait on a tow truck and had no way to pick up my salad I was desperately craving. I called the restaurant to let them know I wouldn't be able to pick up the order. She apologized for my troubles and we hung up. About an hour later the order was voided and I was not charged for the salad. Talk about extremely nice. I did not ask them to do that but they felt bad for my troubles. I was thankful and continued to think about that missed salad. But guess what the story continues....I was able to go get another rental car and in my travels that next day I was close to Sammie's as they opened for dinner. I decided to stop in and order a Caesar salad to go. When I went into the restaurant and spoke to the host I told him the situation. I explained to him I had dined Friday and had such an awesome experience at the bar with Brinley and how I had placed the to go order last night and was unable to pick up. I wanted to support them and clearly enjoy another salad. He remembered the ordered because he told me that I requested cracked black pepper on the online order. He let me now he would get a salad right away. All of a sudden Brinley came around the bar to the seating area with a bag that contained my salad. He was smiling and said, "hey I heard about all your troubles and we are sorry you didn't get your sals last night but here's one for today and it's on us!" I absolutely was floored. I told him that was not the least bit necessary. I wanted to pay for it but he was having no part of that conversation. I did tell him that I was planning to visit a place he suggested that night for a late dinner. He wished me happy travels and shook my hand. I was blown away at the fact that a restaurant cared that much about a single guest. It literally goes to show you that something so small can make such an impact on someone. I took that salad and man did I enjoy it. It just goes to show you that no matter who you are or what happens there are still people in the world that care. Thank you Sammie's for making my Austin trip out of this world. I cannot wait to come back. In the mean time I will be trying to replicate that Calabrian chili crunch at home.
