Sammy G’s was quite a fancy looking spot although when I went everything seemed to be in some defunct stage, waiting for parties later on. My guests were sat on a patio lined with cheesy St Patrick’s day decorations and I sipped on a “Blue Lady” while contemplating the cultural meaning of the giant blow-up rainbow flowing into a pot of gold lined with shamrocks, towering above our table. Surrounding us on all the lamp posts were tasteless metallic green four leaf clovers with confetti script cheering on the event. These symbols mean next to nothing to me or anyone else out here, nor is Sammy’s culturally related to the Irish whatsoever. It’s seems to be just weirdly branded nonsense reason to drink a lot at this point. Does anyone even know who Saint Patrick was? For one, Saint Patrick wasn’t even named Patrick. His name was Maewyn Succat and he was a Christian missionary who brought religion to the Irish pagans. He effectively brainwashed a culture of beautiful pagan beliefs just as Christian missionaries did to most nearly every culture on this planet. And legend has it that he did so by teaching the Holy Trinity using a 3 leaf clover. Notice all the celebratory symbolism on this fake holiday represents 4 leaf clovers, leprechauns, rainbows, and pots of gold, all of which have nothing to do with the saint who eradicated these types of Irish myths and beliefs. Seeing this beautiful Italian restaurant decorated with gaudy junk representing a bizarre holiday truly took away from the experience. The pasta and pizzas offered gluten free options which was amazing. And when I was finished with the Blue Lady, I had the Red Lady. I recommend sticking with Blue. I’ve always wondered why there isn’t an option to rate the drinks. There’s only the option to rate food. But they were decent, not the best. Still, I’d come back for the bolognese. Incredible.

We visited in August so the "off season". We had the bacon cheeseburger. I had a gluten free bun and a side of cottage cheese (with a sprinkle of paprika) because they do not have a dedicated fryer. I've never had cottage cheese as a side to a burger but honestly it works. We asked for our burgers "well done" because we are from Canada. The burgers were very well done, and the bacon was overcooked. I don't mind my bacon overcooked and I ate it but some would definitely not enjoy. On the second floor of a building overlooking the main street this would be a great place to people-watch during the busy season. Overall, our server was attentive and the restaurant was clean and well staffed. If I were in Palm Springs again, I would give it a shot. If you can't walk up the long flight of stairs, there is an elevator available so this restaurant would be considered wheelchair accessible.

Perfectly executed upscale American fare in a chic environment. I wish I could share a picture of our beautiful dishes but we were so excited to eat that they were gone before I could get my phone out. The menu was clearly labeled for gluten and dairy and it was easy to choose a meal that met my diet needs.
