Was staying nearby on a business trip and looking for a good place for breakfast. The staff at our hotel recommended Samaria and it definitely did not disappoint. In fact it was so good we ate there every morning for four days straight. All the staff was lovely but Terry really was so warm and inviting. Everything is made fresh and the quality and portions are very consistent. The omelettes are definitely bigger than what I get in NY. You can tell a lot of pride goes into every dish. They have dishes with a French influence as well but I stuck to their omelettes and would take a wrap to go with their homemade potato chips for lunch. Home now and already missing their breakfast!

Food quality is poor and far from fresh. Could taste the whole refrigerator contents in the crepe that had been marinating in there for the night. The avocado toast was edible, however. And please bring your own silverware if you don't want to spend time trying to clean/polish it at the table.Food: 1/5

Came here from the airport for breakfast! They were super accommodating with allowing us to keep suitcases in the corner. Our waitress was Madison and she was great! Super kind and attentive. We had eggs Benedict and the monte cristo. Both were great. And the home fries were sooo good. a lot of good flavor to them. Really friendly atmosphere and there’s cute outdoor seating too!

Exceptionally friendly waiter, with good croissants and cappuccino. Their only fault was not having decaffeinated coffee of any kind (so, no decaf cappuccino either!)

Service was terrible. Food was just okay. Crepe Picasso was not good my at all. My food came when my family was just about done eating and the staff did not care.

Poor customer service from the server. Ordered avocado toast and when she brought it to the table I asked why the avocado was brown ? She said it was fresh. Tasted old and disgusting. After I paid the bill I told her that it was very disappointing meal and avocado was not fresh. She just walked away and did not say anything. Very distasteful experience. Definitely will not be going back.

We visited the Tampa Art Museum and took a Saturday afternoon stroll on the River Walk. Samaria Cafe was close by and reasonably priced. We ordered three sides of Ratatouille and a baguette for appetizers. Yum. My wife got the walnut, turkey and brie crepe, I got the philly cheese steak and home fries, son #4 got the Monte Cristo sandwich, son #3 got the brie fillet on a skillet with fried egg on top, and son #2 got the chicken Caesar salad. The chicken in the salad was a bit dry, but the other dishes were all very good. 5 stars-- more of a sidewalk diner with both inside and sidewalk tables. Not as fancy as some of the other River Walk fare, but a third the price. We'll be back to try some of the other fun dishes. Where else can you get Ratatouille?

Nice staff and good sandwiches. However, from the common areas to the bathrooms, this place needs a thorough cleaning.

Samaria Cafe was a short walk from our hotel at Le Meredien Tampa, The Courthouse. Food service was quick. We ordered the Cuban sandwich with hashbrowns and California Eggs Benedict with home fries. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend!

My friends and I went on a busy day (Gasparilla) and even with all that, the service was excellent. The hostess told us it was a 30 minute wait and it was exactly that so definite loved the efficiency. Waitress was super nice and friendly. The restaurant was busy but still we got our food in a timely manner as well as our coffee. It was amazing. Overall loved the food and love the service. The price for the food is also fair. Definitely recommend.

Definitely disappointed with our experience here. Our family went to a lunch on a Monday after Christmas Day and ran into a packed place—which is not the problem because we’ve been to places in the same situation and had better service. Food, service, and are the main points for this review.It took us maybe ten to fifteen minutes to speak with someone to get our names on the list, and after we went after someone. After our wait, we were seated. Ordered our food. But it took almost one hour to have it ready and delivered to our table, and it wasn’t tasty. Prior to receiving our food, one of the waiters finally told us that that day they only had two cooks in the kitchen—if we had known that by the get go, we wouldn’t have stayed because we have kids and it’s hard to manage them when they’re hungry.I think there’s a lack of management here for these types of situations. It’s not the frontline’s fault, especially because later during our experience we heard about the cooks situation. Other than that, I think needs the restaurant needs better care. On our way to the bathroom we see shelves completely disorganized with a mixture of food containers, boxes and electronics. Horrible!

This place is really cute, great service, however the food is Mediocre at best. I ordered a bowl of fruit because I saw someone else with a nice bowl, and this is what I received. They should have been ashamed to serve it.
