Samuel Slater's can't decide what it is... high end food, but way-too-casual atmosphere. Diners wearing flannel and shorts. Even the waitstaff is in jeans and tshirts. But the meals are not meatloaf and mashed potatoes. And they are more expensive. The food is very good. And I can look past all that except for one thing: the noise level in the restaurant is deafening! You can't have a conversation because you have to yell across the table to be heard. The waitress has to yell so you can hear her. She told me that it is like that all the time. Does NOT make for a comfortable or enjoyable meal. Sam, please look into sound deadening panels, or ANYTHING that can dull the roar!!!

Samuel Slater's prix fixe Valentine's Dinner menu ($69/pp) caught my eye so we made a reservation. The entire experience exceeded our expectations. Service was very attentive throughout the four-course meal. Each dish was prepared as described. Portions were generously sized; in fact we ended up taking our desserts home because we were so full from the soup/salad, appetizer and entree courses. The meals themselves were flavorful, well-executed and delicious. Standouts from the Valentine's Day menu included the Polpette (meatballs), Chicken Milanese with arugula salad; Shrimp Carbonara; Passionfruit Mousse; and Chocolate Lava Cake. Other diners gave high marks to the Chocolate and Cabernet Short Ribs with brussels spouts and bacon. We have enjoyed recent meals at Samuel Slaters for both the food and the atmosphere; I'm sure we'll return again.

We were a party of 6 adults. 5 received their meals at the same time, one wasn’t ready and waited a long time to get his. He ordered chicken & waffles, chicken was dry and the waffle was burned.

Great menu selections, really good food. We had fried pickles and pierogis for appetizers, then shrimp tacos and pork chops for our meals. View of the lake was perfect. Our waitress was very attentive, friendly, and responsive. We were there for an event afterwards so having the restaurant right on site was perfect for us.

Will definitely go back. Waiting for the patio weather. Everything was amazing! Loved the Charlie Daniel's tributes. Best bacon Brussels sprouts ever. Waitress was awesome. Place was hoppin' and noisy for a date night but the food is sooooooo good. I recommend the Chianti wine, the pulled pork and the Charlie's Mac. 5 stars overall.

We had a wonderful time celebrating New Year's Eve at Samuel Slater's. Our waitress, Michelle, was very attentive. Our food was delicious, but one in our party was only ok with her duck dish. Afterwards, we went to see the band playing at the Samuel Slater music venue and the countdown to midnight. A great time was had by all.

The loved the look from the outside to the inside. Service was great and very friendly. The food… I had the Mac and cheese that was delicious, my husband had the pastrami Rueben which he didn’t really like because the way the pastrami was prepared. We shared the duck poutine which was soooo delicious. I would definitely recommend and go back.

The ambience is beautiful and the service was great! The food….not consistent unfortunately. Not horrible but someone is really heavy on the salt. The French onion soup was all salt and not much flavor. The salmon was done perfectly but the glaze was not great. The brisket was good this time. Improved from previous visit.
