This was our second time dining at this restaurant. The first time, they were exceedingly busy and the kitchen was painfully slow, but the food was okay and the crème brûlée was to die for so we decided to give them a second chance. We came on a Thursday and it was packed again. My husband got us a seat in the bar lounge area. We had to ask if the bartender was our server. They weren't, but they alerted someone for us. Our server was friendly and fairly quick. The salad arrived via food runner without dressing, but the server noticed immediately and whisked it away to add dressing. The salad and vinaigrette were very nice. I had the veal parmigiana which had a lovely, crisp edge, generous amounts of melty cheese, and a hearty tomato sauce with a pile of generic spaghetti on the side. The meat was very sinewy through about 80% of the cut. The young woman who brought our food begrudgingly retrieved some parmigian cheese for us and told me she didn't know what a peppermill was. My husband had the veal Florentine, which had a nice tender cut of meat, lovely vegetables and the perfunctory spaghetti. The sauce was flavourful, but watery and did not stick to anything. When the man ager came to ask how things were, I complimented the flavour, but told him that the sauce was watery. He said "oh that's just the way that sauce is". I told him it is really more a broth than a sauce. My husband piped up that the flavour was good though, and the manager said, "well, that's all that matters" and walked away. We had the crème brûlée for dessert, sans whipped cream and it was lovely, however, when I was a few bites in, my appetite was quashed by a server leaning over the next table with their back end to me; to put it mildly, their hygiene was the issue. I was ready to go home at this point, but it took several minutes for an employee to reappear into the lounge. For a few moments, I thought we might have to dine and dally. All-in-all, I would say, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming and lovely, the staff is very hit and miss, and I don't appreciate being mansplained. Flavour is not all that matters, balance, texture, consistency, viscosity, presentation... The service is generally q u i t e slow. The food is also hit and miss, but generally decent. Unfortunately, it doesn't match the price point. One wine, one Prosecco, two entrees and one dessert and an 18 per cent tip took us to around 120. Not bad if it were to meet my expectations, but it fell quite short. The only reason I'd go back would be to order a crème brûlée to go, and I'd call ahead 20 minutes.

I come here every year for my birthday. And every other staff member remembers me. Love the vibe. Love the atmosphere ,always makes you feel like you're one of the family.
Received an invitation via the US mail for a dinner but was subsequently told that there were no reservation slots available for either Monday, December 2 or Tuesday, December 3. The invite for the complimentary dinner was the bait - then the operator (after receiving all of contact info) tried to sign me up for marketing promotions - that’s the switch. If you’re going to offer these types of promotions, you need to make sure you can accommodate the response, Otherwise, people, potential patrons are left thinking (was this a scam)?

We loved celebrating our anniversary at Sam & Rosco’s. We are out of towners and needed a nice place for a romantic dinner. The service was spectacular and the food was delicious!
We stopped here after a long day in the mountains. As it was a Monday night, it wasn't overcrowded, and we were seated immediately without reservations. Our server was great. She was knowledgeable about their off the menu specials and recommended several items on the menu. I had cajun shrimp pasta. I would have liked a bit more spice, but I enjoyed the dish. He had the fra diavlo dish. Definitely recommend.

Sam & Rosco's is pure magic, y'all! The moment you walk in, you're swept away by the romantic vibe—dim lights, smooth tunes, the whole vibe is just right. The food? To die for! Every bite, from the rich risotto to the divine tiramisu, is a flavor explosion. Service was on point too, making us feel like royalty. If you want a fabulous night out, this is it!
