We celebrated our fourth New Year's Eve at Cafe Sam last night, and the entire experience was absolutely outstanding. On New Year's Eve the restaurant puts together a ""prix fix"" dinner for $39.95 that includes four courses and a campagne toast. I had shrimp scampi with lemon butter and garlic toast, lobster bisque, lamb chops rubbed with olive oil and herbs, and chocolate mousse for dessert. My wife had an assorted hors d'eourvres platter with ahi tuna tartar, pate, and smoked salmon, the lobster bisque, and venison osso bucco with kiln dried cherries and chesnut sauce, and chocolate cake for dessert. We also like this restaurant on New Year's Eve because it offers intimate dining and an opportunity for us to talk about the year past and our hopes for the new year. The service was very attentive, but paced to let us relax and enjoy the dinner. High praise to the entire staff for being able to stage such a high quality dining format that is different from the ""regular"" Cafe Sam menu. Looking forward to our fifth time next December 31st. Happy New Year to all!
Pros: Unique New Year's Eve Dinner
Cons: Nothing
