This was a perfect place for a romantic date night. The food was amazing- we especially enjoyed the escargot as an appetizer and the scallops as the main course. We will be back!

The appetizer and dessert were very good. Unfortunately, our main course was cold. I am assuming it might be an isolated incident since the tables around us received steaming hot main courses. The kitchen and front of house appeared to be short staffed and it took a considerable amount of time to receive each course. The wait staff spent a lot of time standing at the kitchen window staring and waiting for the food. The live music saved the night and made the hour wait between the main courses and dessert tolerable.

I give the restaurant 5 stars for the excellent service and the quality of their menu. The food choices were great as was the quality of the wine list. I especially enjoyed the music. It provided a perfect complement to the ambiance of the restaurant. They have a prix fixe menu. Everything is one price and includes appetizer, entree and dessert. This is not clear on the website, which should be changed to avoid surprises.

Even after confirming a reservation for 8 people with Jon W, we were not told of the new liquor policy nor the fact that the menu would be a set menu, set price. These were disappointments. The food was good but very small portions for the set price. The staff was happy to see us go (last table to leave) - they couldn't get the lights off quick enough. This was our last Christmas celebration at Chez Sami. Sad to say because we try to support local.

We had a wonderful experience. Service was spot on! Enjoyed a preset menu with wine pairing. Just wonderful!!!

The food was superior along with the presentation! This chef knows how to create and deliver culinary joys! The ambiance was relaxing and inviting - with live piano the pleasant touch. Highly recommended!

Food and service were absolutely amazing!! Only complaint was I think the A/C was broken so it was a bit warm. Other than that it was great!!

It was a little disappointing when we showed up to our reservation to find out that the full menu was not available, only a prix fixe, priced at $80/person. After a full day of football at Texas Tech, my friends and I were looking forward to sharing a few things off the full menu, rather than an elegant three-course meal. It would be helpful if this were advertised ahead of time. Otherwise, the food was quite good, particularly the beef wellington, and service was attentive. I'd recommend to folks in Lubbock, but would investigate more closely if the restaurant is only doing a prix fixe menu.

May your all your bills stay paid & your pockets stay blessed 10 fold. We have enjoyed every. single. dish. Paul is hands down the best server we've had! The beef wellington is my absolute favorite next to the quail. My husband's favorite is the duck. Please never get rid of the goat cheese, pear salad. Was obsessed with dessert thank you, truly a wonderful experience.

Very special occasion; very disappointing experience. Mediocre food (because some of it was served cold); very mediocre service. High corkage fee for your own bottle ($30). Good ambiance but not worth the price.

We had the most amazing meal from Chef Jon. Service was wonderful and everything we ate was delicious. The lobster and beef Wellington were perfect. Will be back very soon!

Our group started with bread and hors D Oeuvres that were delicious. For entrees we had lobster Thermidor, beef Wellington and wagyu beef bourguignon all of which was delicious with great presentation. Finished with fantastic creme brulee, and bread pudding. Atmosphere was great with live music. Will definitely be back
