TLDR: Sampla was incredible 11/10. The food, the atmosphere, the customer service: TOP NOTCH!! Pros: The food was spectacular Exploring the menu is to your benefit The team cohesion is unparalleled (keep in my mind, my back was against the rest of the restaurant, my wife could see everything and noted that the experience we had was not unique, the servers, bussers, and assistant servers treated every customer like their meal was for a special occasion). The ambiance is perfect for a romantic evening, or just and intimate meal with an individual or small group (although they had a large party behind us and somehow we didn’t even notice them) There are a lot of options for people with varying diets. I myself can’t eat shellfish and in spite of that the options left available were so delicious I am already planning my next visit! Cons: We had a wobbly table; we didn’t bring it up and it would be fair to say that based on our service they would have addressed the concern had we mentioned it. There was no alcohol. Everyone we spoke to, from the hostess to the General Manager mentioned that they were currently not serving alcohol. (This was a non-issue for my wife and I as we are not drinkers, not even on special occasions. However, if you are keep, this in mind). It should be noted that they all mentioned that they were in the process of being able to serve alcohol, so by the time of reading this, this may not be relevant.

Food was delicious and timing between dishes was perfect. We enjoyed the ambience and were very surprised at how authentic each dish was to its filipino roots, and at the same time gave us a new experience that made it all exciting and tasty. Definitely coming back!
