This is a cute, small, intimate little place with some tables, a set of comfy chairs, and a bar. There might have been some kind of group room in the back, I just saw people coming out of it, but we sat at the bar and enjoyed the ambiance. The bartender there was very personable, chatting with all the customers and open to making recommendations. I enjoyed a lovely port that was reasonably priced, and my study-mate got a canned beer from the fridge section (happy hour pricing was great). This was a very cute place with a good variety of wine options, plus items for the non-wine drinkers (albeit not a ton). This was a fun place and I would definitely stop in here again. Glad we found it!

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 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

To accompany our happy hour wines my son and I ordered two of his favorite things: Mixed Mediterranean Olives ($5.50) and a Spanish cheese ($9). Perhaps I've spent too long in the Bay Area or perhaps they do things differently in Arkansas but the mountainous bowl of olives that arrived at our table sparked utter joy. This wasn't 5, 10, or even 15 olives; I think it might've been a whole jar's worth. It was not only amusing, but an utter delight. One hundred percent chance of a return visit for the olives alone. We followed with the Spanish cheese and more wine but there was no getting beyond the olives. That's what we'd be talking about. Forever. By the Glass has a good happy hour ($5/glass for selected wine) which pertains only to the wines. It's a low-key, comfortable, unpretentious spot that's received recognition as the best bar, the best wine bar, the best trendy bar, and the best happy hour bar from a variety of publications. During my visit it was quiet and welcoming, an environment I'd feel equally comfortable in either solo or with friends. If you like wine, "By the Glass" is a good find. If you like olives it's even better.

I'm not a big fan of thick or bready crust, so this was perfect for me. All of the pizzas were pretty flavorful, and I appreciated the variety of unique flavors they offer. The ones with jalapeños definitely had a kick if you took a bite with the pepper, but without them, the spiciness wasn't too bad. The Roman was super flavorful, and the Chile-Honey Soppressata had that nice sweet-and-spicy combo, just like the name suggests. I personally love sweet pizzas, so that one was a standout for me. I also love the interior, especially the open second level. It overlooks the first floor and gives the space a cool, hip vibe.

The door guys aren't jerks and the bartenders consist of cute girls who seem down to earth and would chat with you if you pleased. Although they only serve beer and wine, that doesn't hinder the locals from hanging out here. It gets poppin on the weekends; the two pool tables in the bar seemingly attract pool sharks, when in actually, they may just be as terrible as you are at billiards. Shuffleboard is also available if you so pleased wanted to play. I've been to this bar three times and have had a great time on all occasions. Downside is that people smoke there. (Well...could be a plus if you smoke.) Even the bartenders have a cigarette every so often while they're pouring your beer. By the time you get home, you raunch of cigarettes and gotta shower before passing out in bed. I know it's an Arkansas thing, being able to smoke indoors...but I'd rather go home smelling as sweet as I had before going out that night. No one wants to snuggle with someone who smells like an ashtray, no?
