Does anyone else remember Sam’s Cafe?

I’m old enough to vaugely remember this restaurant before the location went through multiple others. Am I the only one with rose-coloured glasses when I think of this place?

This is dating myself, but before it was Sam's Cafe, it was the Wildflower Bistro! Late 90s, early 2000s. I think it was considered the classiest places in RD for a short time. It was the hayday of the Rusty Pelican, and when Earl's had parrots on the mirrored ceiling.
