Sample on Allen

·

@YesThatCasey and I tried to go to Cantina Loco but it was too crowded. The bar was like six rows thick. So we left to walk to Cozumel which was not crowded enough. Then Mothers which was too crowded. Then Coulter Bay which was too crowded and I don't like the food. Then back to Cantina Loco which was even more crowded. Then off to Lagnapes but they don't have drinks. Then the pink stank too much.

So we ended up at Sample. I don't't know why I didn't ever make it there before. I now think it might be choice numbero uno. We had the beef poutine fries, scallops, and calamari. I forgot to take a pictures of the calamari with pickeled radishes but they made the cutest flower out of the radish slices.

For a drink I asked for a vodka tonic with St. Germaine. The bartender said he never heard of it but it was pretty tasty.

I would 110% go back. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

    I really like Sample. It's creative, interesting food and outstanding cocktails. Limited veggie options but the ones they have are really yum. Honey lavender martinis :-)
