    We had a wonderful experience. Food took longer to be served than expected but our waiter was very nice and helpful. It didn’t feel rushed and we have time to have pleasant conversations. When food arrived it was delicious. Definitely we will be back when visiting Lubbock again.

    This was our first experience at Chez Sami and we really enjoyed our food. Our dinner was a Prix Fixe tied to a local winery pairing and we were not disappointed.

    We came here for Valentine’s Day, and the food was exceptional. The service was great. We would definitely come back.  I love the fact that I can bring my own wine because I’m a little bit picky about that but the $10 corking fee is too high.

    Experiencing NYE at Chez Sami was an incredible experience! The atmosphere was just perfect - artistic, romantic, fun! The entertainment was a lovely enhancement and was not overpowering (could still have conversation). The food was delicious! Highly recommend!

    Almost great, but not quite there. With we're just a few minor touches. The place could actually be five stars as it is right now with the temperature of the food the quality of the weight staff in the ambience. It's only a four but they are trying hard.
