I am so glad we had dinner at Samantha's! We're from out of town, so we chose Samantha's after a little research. The vibe was great, the food amazing, the staff friendly. Definitely would come again!

Loved the food. Loved the service. Not sure why I needed a reservation on Open Table since seating is first come-first serve after 3pm. Maybe 5pm. I had a reservation for 3pm but learned of the open seating policy upon arrival. Was very disappointed the restaurant did not offer the chocolate sack dessert. It’s one of the main reasons we made reservations for this restaurant. Would have chanced the walk-in for the chocolate sack dessert instead of securing a reservation and not having the chocolate sack as a dessert option.

Samantha's was perfect for our 30th anniversary. The food and staff were equally fantastic. My favorite salad is the Salmon Salad and the Fried Green Tomatoes. My husband LOVES the cremini mushrooms and ate the whole skillet of them. Our server Cory was amazing!

The food was good: the service was lacking. The hostess was not friendly AT ALL. We were just another number. Arrived when she was completing a task on her tablet. She never bothered to acknowledge us; just worked until she was done. Then asked us how many without a smile a welcome or anything. Because it was my son’s birthday, I reserved a table. There was no bother to wish him a happy birthday until I mentioned it. Because I reserved the table, the gratuity was automatically added. And the dessert wasn’t complimentary. We were recommended a dessert we didn’t necessarily like and ended up having to pay for it over a miscommunication. It’s fine but it’s little things like these that add up to a poor experience can’t say I won’t be back but we left not as happy as when we arrived but the food was really good. Our orders: Lamb chops Grouper sandwich NY strip Fries Lamb chops Mushrooms Some kind of cider Bacon wrapped quail Queso dip We really liked all the food! Parking: there’s a public parking lot right next to Samantha’s. Put that in your navigator instead of Samantha’s otherwise you’ll have to circle a two-block radius to park. Hourly parking is either $2 or $4. Bring a debit card. I don’t think the lot takes cash. I’d go back, but I wouldn’t RUSH to go back bc service means everything to me and it’s the little things that go a really long way.

It was my birthday and me and a few friends got together after not being able to see each other for two years. The food was good but I do feel like we were rushed out after we finished eating. The looks we got from the waiter made us a bite uncomfortable while we were just sitting and catching up.

We did sit at the table for awhile before a server came to help us. My grilled shrimp was over cooked and my grilled asparagus was undercooked. Lamb chops and macaroni were good, nice flavor.

I rated the food a 3 but really it could be 3 and a half. We were only able to have 2 appetizers. We chose the artichokes which we were disappointed with. They were not BAD per se but not our cup of tea. I think we prefer artichokes to speak for themselves instead of being drowned in a balsamic sauce. And a bit messy to eat. Our bad. The Chorizo & cheese was wonderful. The sausage packed a kick which we loved and those bread and butter pickles were great with it. We Will come again another time and have some entree's. My two Lemon Drop Martini's were amazing!! And our server was Layton was awesome!! He took great care of us.

This was my second time dining here. First time for lunch, everything was absolutely wonderful! I had the Pomegranate Pear Martini - it was heavenly! Also, order the Fried Green Tomatoes as the appetizer and honestly they were the best fried green tomatoes I have ever had in my whole life! I wish I could have them once a week. For the entree I ordered the Chopped Salmon Salad and it was also very delightful and filling! Cannot wait to come back and try something else!

Excellent service, wonderful server. Can’t remember her name but young, long blond hair, very nice and attentive to our table. Food was okay, not great. I’ve eaten here before a few times and always enjoyed it. Just sort of underwhelmed this time, but I’ll be back. Ordered the skewered shrimp and it was bland. Won’t order that again.

This was my fourth and probably last visit . I asked about wine and waitress was snarky , reminding me this is a tap bar . Not necessary . Food is highly salted , could not finish tenderloin, mashed potatoes, or asparagus . Way too much salt, and I like salt. Place is not what it used to be.

Food was excellent. Only issue-hostess told us to park in Valet area as we arrived a few minutes early for our 5pm reservation. Not long after 5 we were informed by the valet a tow truck had been called to tow our vehicle. His attitude was awful even after it was explained to him that the hostess told us to park there. Hostess told us later they usually check with her before calling a tow truck but did not that night.
