Food was amazing even though i asked for no maple syrup yet they put maple syrup on my breakfast pizza. Please note this is not the place to come if your catching up with friends and family. They will and did kick us out after 1 1/2 hours despite a long wait for the food.

Jan 10, 2026 ⭐️⭐️ Mediocre food
Small portions. They were skimpy even on rice. The chicken breast kabob was kinda dry, beef was slightly burnt… The best part was the lentil soup
P.S. I’ve never seen a Mediterranean restaurant not having any olive oil.

★★★★★ Excellent food and welcoming atmosphere
Samos Café & Grill is a wonderful place to enjoy delicious food in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The dishes are well-prepared, full of flavor, and made with fresh ingredients. The grill menu is especially impressive, with perfectly cooked meats and generous portions.
The staff is polite, attentive, and always ready to help, which makes the overall experience very pleasant. The restaurant is clean, cozy, and suitable both for family meals and casual gatherings with friends.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality food and great service. I will definitely visit again.

We love Samos. We come here often for lunch and dinner and sometimes just to enjoy a coffee and pastries. The staff are always so welcoming and friendly. The food is delicious! We just had a lovely festive holiday dinner with friends. The tables were really beautiful with gold under plates and festive decor and lighting on the table. Happy Holidays🎄
Food was excellent. In our party of 6, my food arrived about 20 minutes after everyone's else and they had already finished when I started eating. Same with my drink that was forgotten and I had to remind them 2-3 times to get that. The restaurant at that point was not busy or crowded. Would I go again? For food, probably yes.
Excellent lentil soup and borscht. The Santorini chicken was excellent. Will definitely re-visit. The only negative was that the restaurant was not busy on a Friday night and lack of liquor license.. The female server was very nice, efficient and classy
I've only had the lemon ricotta pancakes and the pork sausage and I can't wait to try the chicken and waffles...

Hosted a bridal shower there recently for about 12 girls, and I have to say, planning the logistics out with the team at Samos was a dream. Elena and the team were very accomodating—letting us take over the dining area, pretty much—and easy to work with. Food was also great! Can’t say enough good things about this place, but I am surprised that it isn’t as popular as I think it should be.

A neighborhood restaurant with enclosed patio seating that is covered and actually “indoors”. The food is fresh and portions are very generous and priced very fairly. I had a Caesar chicken wrap. It came with a delicious , large side salad. The large portion of chicken was extremely salty. Service was slow, perhaps they were short-handed. The other people enjoyed what they ordered. I would give them another chance and ask them to hold the salt. Parking is difficult. Only a few spots in back, otherwise you need to find one on the street.

Had an amazing brunch at Samos & Grill Café! The green chilaquiles were bomb the Mediterranean fusion made it so unique, flavorful and with just the right kick !! and the Mediterranean Benedict was a standout, beautifully plated and full of vibrant flavors!!
The ambiance was cozy yet modern, with a bright, welcoming vibe that made it feel like the perfect place to relax and enjoy good food. You can tell a lot of care went into the design and decor!! it’s stylish without trying too hard!
And a huge shoutout to Elena 🍀, our waitress, who made the experience even better. She was warm, genuine, and attentive from start to finish. Her energy and kindness added so much to the whole experience!
Definitely one of those spots you can’t wait to come back to!! amazing food, great atmosphere, and even better service!
