The Original Sammy’s In La Jolla Is Back Open

Sammy’s Food + Wine reopened its original La Jolla location – located at 702 Pearl Street in La Jolla – on December 17th. The restaurant had been closed since October 26, due to water in the building.

Not letting it slow them down!

“Although it’s never ideal to experience a closure, we were very happy to open before the holidays to help host celebrations for our La Jolla friends and neighbors,” said Sami Ladeki, owner and founder. The restaurant had recently been remodeled and the new, reopened location will also boast the newly renovated aesthetics, including an updated patio.

Sammy’s has also recently expanded their menu with new items to include an emphasis on more sandwiches, pitas, tacos, and fresh fish entrees, and including a new hummus section with four different flavors. Ladeki says this is his favorite menu he’s ever introduced.

New location at Seven Mile Casino

With new renovations to La Mesa and Sammy’s other locations, Sammy’s also opened Sammy’s Restaurant & Bar at Seven Mile Casino (285 Bay Blvd in Chula Vista, 91910) this summer. The 24-hour location has many of Sammy’s favorites along with several Asian-inspired dishes and a breakfast menu with many picks from its sister restaurant, Toast Gastrobrunch in Carlsbad. Sammy’s Restaurant & Bar also has a full bar with beer and wine, as well as handcrafted cocktails and hosts a weekend brunch Saturday and Sunday from 9AM to 3PM.
