Samuels Restaurant

We love Romain and Majdouline
The only place to be on the weekend.

This is a class joint to take friend for a drink an nibbly's. Be aware its a bar on one side with a basic menu, the restaurant is next door.

I've eaten here twice and I honestly can't remember anything about what I chose or how it was. That's not a particularly a good sign. Perhaps it was because the person I was with who had declared it her 'favourite restaurant', then proceeded to complain non-stop about everything. I was soon to discover this was a running theme (and we're no longer friends, to save myself pain). Sorry Samuel's, I would give you another try just to be fair, but I looked at the menu the other day and it seems to have become insanely expensive. You want how much for a main now? I'll leave it.

The French waitress/manager was very pleasant. The service was good.
The food however was only average and the portions were so small! The price was exorbitant. Entree $25.90 for 4 scallops. Really??? The main meals ranged from $42 to $49. Far too expensive for Thirroul of all places!
Hard pressed to find a meal this expensive in Sydney. And, being Friday night, we had to choose two courses. How's that for maximising profits!!
Gone are the days when restaurants serve minuscule minimalist 'art on a plate' meals. Someone needs to tell Samuels that. Suffice to say, I won't be returning. Value for money score out if 10 - ZERO!

Very average food but extremely overpriced. Service was okay. Had the steak and vegetarian mains, steak was overcooked and tofu was very ordinary. Not worth the price tag.
