Best Steak Restaurants in Soulard / Benton Park

The food and wine were terrific as always, and our server, Teresa, was charming yet truly professional. The only "knock" on our review is the proximity of our table to the bar area. The restaurant has a low ceiling without sound dampening and the noise level was, frankly, annoying. To be fair, we were able to disregard that (for the most part) and had a nice evening.

Our server was very patient and understanding that we wanted to visit with our great nieces and linger. The girls loved coming to Sam's. Their first time there We told them the history of our experiences there in our lifetimes and my experiences meeting Denny Long there while arranging a shower party in the basement. I told them what a charming Irish guy he was and I I was so enamored with him So sorry he left us. So glad I met him.

First of all, this is our second time to dine here. I rather forget the first time we ate at this place, because of circumstances. But this time around, it was excellent all around. We do not mind paying the price because it is Christmas after all. I did not get the name of our server but he was excellent. I asked my risotto rice not have that half cooked rice which is prevalent on some "healthy" restaurants, he said their risotto rice will be really cooked and delicious. And it was...My lobster tails were excellent too...everything are really good. Our server wasn't obstrusive at all. He just passed by once to check if everything is OK. I asked my husband if I can take care of giving him a good tip.

Incredible food and service! Definitely will be back.

Eric was a great server - he took care of us well. I had the salmon, grilled. My wife had the sea bass - it was delicious! We're not big on orzo as a side, so we split a generous serving of mashed potatoes. We laughed about broccoli being the "seasonal" vegetable in late December. I guess it's seasonal somewhere! We were surprised there wasn't bread on the table. No dessert - too full.
