    Came in on Valentine's day with a reservation. They sat us immediately. After that... nothing. We waited for a server, water, anything... but nothing. A server came by with water for another table, filled theirs, looked around but not towards our table and was walking away. I had to shout "excuse me!" and asked for water and if our server will be with us. He said they will be with us right away. Waited... waited... waited... nothing. After 20mins we walked out. How are they going to charge $95 per person but service is nonexistent?!

    As always, we had a wonderful dining experience at Fork LR last night. Chef Ira's poached salmon salad special was beyond delicious!! Great wine, too!

    Shrimp and grits.

    When I saw the negative comments I hesitated considering this as our big date night. SO glad I didn't mind the negative comments because it is one of the best meals my partner and I have had in Little Rock in the last couple years. Speaking for myself it may be one of the best meals I have ever had here. I got the catfish after hearing from a group that were leaving it was wonderful, and it truly was fantastic! He got the shrimp and grits and said it may be the best he has had in LR. Overall we were very happy with our cocktails, wine, and meal. Don't hesitate trying the cheesecake appetizer!

    Most succulent and flavorful rib eye I have had the pleasure to eat!

    Monday of this week, I stopped in here with some out of town guests for a quick bite during the…read morenoon hour. I had the gumbo and it was excellent! Because of the great experience I had at lunch, I decided to take my wife there on Thursday night for dinner. Let me be clear: Dinner was a hit! I will start with the Atmosphere. I will be honest, the atmosphere is nice enough. The place is clean for sure. It is not as comfortable a place as some and is reminiscent of many restaurants I have been to. By that I mean, it is almost formulaic in it's set up. Nothing about it is unique or screams Arkansas or Little Rock to me. That is OK, I just want to be clear about the ambiance of the place. I still would give it a four out of five stars on ambiance. That said, it only gets better from here! For starters, we shared the fried green tomatoes with shrimp appetizer, and it was superb! As good as any you will find in NOLA and definitely the best in Arkansas. I highly recommend. For our main courses, my wife had the bacon wrapped filet and I had the rib-eye. We had never tried Samantha's steaks before and I hate to think what all we have been missing because our steaks were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. We shared a side of cheese grits and couldn't had a better meal! For our dessert, we shared a slice of their key lime pie, and again, it was wonderful. A strong five star rating for the food here at Samantha's for sure. As good as the food was, our server Taylor was about the best I have seen in Little Rock since the days of Ashley's at the Capitol hotel. Every dish we ordered that I just described was a recommendation from Taylor. I love it when someone knows their stuff and she was super knowledgeable, with just the right amount of tending to us. Not too much looking over our shoulder every two minutes, but always there when we needed her. Samantha's is lucky to have her on their team. Another strong five star rating regarding service. Can't wait to go back. I feel like they are hitting their stride at Samantha's!

    I was ready to have my socks rocked. Only to be thoroughly disappointed by the quality &…read morepresentation of the meal. I ordered a fried green tomatoes appetizer and Tom Yum grilled shrimp entree w/ a cucumber onion salad side. The app presentation was as expected garnished and dressed with roumalade. The finished quality was sub par. The tomatoes edges were good but the center was so thick it was crunchy, 4 slices $16. The entrées are solo yet there is an expectation of an elegant presentation. Nope...two undressed, ungarnished skewers of dry shrimp on a plate for $19. That's it, that's all. The best item of the meal was the marinated 2 ingredient "salad" which was... sweet & savory $12. Lastly, what ended up being a "concept" of key lime pie. Presentation glorious, a dinner sized plate decorated with swirls and a decent size helping of a sweet item. This was what looked like an inch of cake crumbs that were recycled by pressing into a form with a 1/4 inch thin layer of key lime custard over top. $9
