“Always be one of my local restaurants in the Les area. Of course, the food is amazing, along with a choice of wine. I definitely recommend getting a bottle of red :)”
“We had the sunchoke bureka, rissoto, and tuna and they were all incredible especially the bureka. They had a good combination of vegeterian and non-veggie options. They are on inkind. They also offered to move us to a better table when one become available.”
“LOVED the whole branzino with leeks (the leeks are super), the risotto and sweetbread skewers - these are recommended by the waiter and they do not miss! we enjoyed how wholesome and cozy this spot is! the service is amazing as well! please make a reservation or walk in early!”
“What a hidden gem! Sami & Susu is charming, intimate, rustic place where one wants to come back again and again. You feel welcomed from the moment you step inside. Dim lighting ambiance is perfect for a romantic dinner or friends get-together. Lets talk about THE FOOD. Freshest ingredients, creative menu and unique flavors! Every dish was delicious and memorable. The dips (seemingly a common staple of many Mediterranean restaurants) were so tasty and flavorful! Tuna crudo with brown butter - must try. Sweetbread, beef cheeks, risotto - every dish was "This-is-my-favorite"😃 Chicken with tzatziki- juicy, tender, succulent, and perfectly seasoned with spices. Well curated wine list made the evening even more unforgettable. Cannot wait to be back to try other dishes. Oh, do yourself a favor don't skip the chocolate dessert:)”
“Awesome restaurant! A great place for a date night. The venue is very little but the size allows for a more personal feel to the service. The food was delicate but full of flavor. We had gotten the Muhammara and the Hanger Steak. Both were amazing! We will definitely be coming back again!”
