Supposedly spent $1.5m in a location that has failed over and over and over. Assuming it is expensive, and it is not in a great area, I will always opt for Smith and Wollensky in Boston. Alternately, the Chop House in Worcester. Any details to offer? How is Sambas ever going to succeed? Supposedly spent $1.5m in a location that has failed over and over and over.

While I can't say for sure I got the distinct feeling that I was looked down upon because I was wearing jeans. We were seated in probably the worst table in the house (there were a lot of better tables open the entire night), and were almost completely ignored by the wait staff. However, "older" people were almost treated like close relatives of the staff. There was nothing special about the food. Vowed never to return again - there are a number of better choices in the area to give my business to.

The progress was really coming along and then all of the sudden it came to a screeching halt. : ( I know, I wish there was a Thai place in 'ham. The last one I knew if was on Union Ave and it turned into yet another Brazillian restaurant. Too bad, it would be nice to have some variety in downtown. Hi Chris, thanks for reading : )

My wife and I live in Framingham and love to read your column. Random questions - why does it seem there are no thai restaurants in the 'ham? And when is Samba going to open on Rt 9 - it seems like they have been working on that forever! Keep up the great writing! Hey Michelle,
