Salmon was absolutely delicious! 10/10. Fries are amazing. Mac and cheese was yummy. My husband got the steak and he said it was good, but not the best he's ever had. We got salsa and cheese dip as an appetizer, we probably wouldn't order that again. We sat at the bar and the bartender took great care of us. It was our first time to Samantha's and it won't be our last.

The food was amazing. The salmon one if the best I've ever had. We got the best customer service ever. Spencer is an amazing waiter. He's attentive yet wonderfully understated. He made this experience and food even better than it already was! Thank you so much! We will be back.

The food, service, and ambiance at this restaurant created an ideal setting for my colleagues and me to explore a new dining experience. My coworkers delighted in their meals, savoring each bite, while I faced a small challenge in locating vegan options on the menu. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the dishes I chose, each one bursting with flavor and creativity. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly our waitress, who was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience truly memorable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area--it's a gem worth discovering!

On a quiet Monday in Little Rock when almost everything else was closing down early, Samantha's was hopping. Bar area showing the games. Restaurant bustling. And friendly, professional servers delivering delicious cocktails and some fantastic food. Menus change but our party enjoyed the brown butter grouper with lump crab meat, salmon with mustard-tarragon sauce, birria rib eye tacos and cremini mushroom chicken. All delish. Entrees and sides are a la carte so we enjoyed vinegar collards, asparagus with Parmesan and broccolini with Parmesan. Highly recommend this locale if you're looking for a great meal with chill atmosphere.

Family share sides style dining. Everything was tasty. Also had banana split and key lime pie desserts. Bread basket is good enough to be dessert all on its own. Pd parking street or lot next to restaurant.

Fine establishment, superb experience. I went with a few coworkers and we shared the fried groupers bites and fried okra to start. Both were prepared to perfection. I ordered the salmon with family sides of mash potatoes and cucumber salad. Fish is flown in. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back.

Samantha's came highly recommended from my coworkers so while visiting Little Rock on this trip, made a stop. Centrally located with lots of parking options, the space is nicely decorated, modern but cozy. Lots of seating. Service was fantastic from host to server to manager who thanked us on way out. 5 stars to our blue haired server today ( I'm so sorry I forgot your name if you happen to read this) who was awesome with recommendations like the leige waffle for dessert and the dark chocolate gelato- so rich, so good. I had the salmon as an entree and beautifully cooked. Keep in mind, some sides are a La carte. Cremini mushrooms for appetizer is a must and the strawberry mango mimosa set the tone for the meal. Would come again and explore the rest of the menu! Thanks!

On LR Main Street with a couple of other restaurants that start making a little chain of walkable spots to grab some grub and drinks. The atmosphere is approachable and laid back while maintaining a feeling of simplistic sophistication. Design has a couple of wood walls that lean into the wood grill concept, I like when the dining and kitchen experience lean into each other. Our server Hope, was terrific! Super bubbly and amazing with our 1yr old, not to mention knowledgeable about the menu. She made multiple suggestions when we asked and provided the kids menu from memory to allow us to get something for the lil one. People like her make dining experiences better and easier for all. The food was excellent as well, protein focused and I love that. Wood grill in the kitchen is open to the dining room and you can get lots of beef, pork, lamb, and fish options. Choices like Ora King Salmon (which we ordered) and NZ lamb show how they make an effort to sources quality ingredients. Flavor profiles aren't out of left field crazy, they play it close to home and I think that works in LR where high level execution puts you way out ahead of the competition. Not a big City 5/5, but certainly a local 5/5

Long before the overwhelming smell of wood smoke drew us in, we'd decided to have dinner at Samantha's. We were in Little Rock for just one night and searched for a restaurant nearby our hotel that was walkable, had a good beer selection and, of course, had Yelpers wooing over the food. Samantha's did not disappoint! Despite there being a huge Country music concert on the same night and all the concert goers out in their western wear; we were seated within minutes of arriving and our server had menus in our hand with water on the table. We were both able to taste test a couple of beers, and decided on the special for the night... A fresh bronzed Caribbean Snapper topped with jumbo crabmeat sauté in a brown butter sauce. Served over a wild mushroom & black garlic, parmesan risotto and sautéed broccolini. Now... if that didn't get your mouth watering... you should re-examine your tastebuds! The beers were a perfect pairing for the food, and the food was just over the top delicious. Everything on the menu was so enticing, but that snapper just hit the flavor centers right in every way. Topping the meal off with a dessert just seemed right... and we made the wise choice of the Liege Waffle with vanilla ice cream on top and a caramel sauce underneath. OMG that was so delectable, I could've had two of them for dinner and taken the snapper home! All in all, very, very impressed and would not hesitate to return if ever in Little Rock again.

Fantastic! I went here after a friend recommended. They were super crowded on a Wednesday night, so I opted to grab a seat in the bar area. Waiter was funny and efficient. I was craving a steak so ordered the filet with Asiago cheese Grits. Steak was cooked perfectly and I would lather myself in those Grits. LOL. I would return for the Grits alone. There are many pleasing menu options so worth a return visit. There is parking lot right across the street (fee applies). Make a reservation if more than 1 person to avoid the wait. It was a bit loud but it has great vibe and nice decor. Looking forward to a return visit.
