For dessert, we had the sticky toffee pudding with local apples, which was absolutely amazing!

This has been our go-to restaurant since Bailey's on the Square was destroyed by a tornado. Since Thyme on 21 is closed on Mondays, we tried Samuel's on the recommendation of friends. We enjoyed our meal there back in 2016, and we were even more impressed this time. Similar to Thyme on 21, Samuel's creatively utilizes local and imported ingredients. My cream of celery soup was perfect, and the seafood fettuccine was excellent. Our friends started with the Mediterranean platter, and both ordered the salmon and Panko fried turkey as their main dishes. Everyone was very satisfied, and we look forward to returning again.

We found Samuel's Bistro online as it had great reviews, and immediately thought it was a unique setting in an old school house on the river. We decided to give...it a try. What a lovely experience! The server was very sweet and attentive. The atmosphere was quant and cozy and the food was delicious! We had the Cassis Duck and the Turkey Schnitzel and we were impressed. Did I mention that they have half priced wine on Fridays!?

Well, we started to have a few drinks to catch up on affairs and thought it prudent to dine within...walking distance and that we did. The bistro is nicely appointed and the service was attentive, but the food was 'uneventful ' at best. Smoked Pork and Pear: sounds delicious, but where the heck is the pear apart from the tiny splices on top of the chop. Also, very salty. Cassis Duck: super sweet and drowning in sauce......what about the 'reduction ' part on the menu? Pistachio Turkey Schnitzel: Probably something you could buy at Costco and nuke it. Next time we won 't start drinking before dinner and try some of the local cuisine in town.
