First time here and it was really nice. I like the atmosphere and locally owned. Service was excellent and I had the short ribs which were tender and delicious.
While visiting family on the Front Range, Samples was recommended as a great place for a healthful and tasty lunch. They were absolutely right! Great food, and excellent service from Arela, definitely made Samples a memorable spot, one we will return to the next time we're in the area. Highly recommended!
Really, really good-tasting food, but never feels like a good value price-wise. Also, too many times here I've had bad/really slow service. With small kids that can get dicey, but if you're sitting and drinking with friends, not such a big deal. But still, drinks and food are on the pricier side for what you get.
Several of the best recipes were taken off of the menu or changed, and the overall quality seems to have gone down since last fall. The overall vibe of the restaurant is very nice, but it seems as though the food is nowhere near as amazing as it used to be.
We came for the beer menu, and it was good. The problem is the mediocre food and the higher prices than comparable restaurants, at least by looks. This one is certainly not in the same league as most when it comes to food. Too bad because I do like the idea of the place.
