- Allan MackiewiczJune 17, 2011Bison burger is the best burger I've had in a long time. Makes me want to come back from DC for another one!
Franco CalizAugust 29, 2015Food was very good but the drinks leave a lot to be desired including their own specials.
FabFitFunNovember 16, 2011The restaurant features globally-inspired whole food, while only using the freshest ingredients of the season.
BettySeptember 14, 2016Welcome to SAMO- where food is mediocre and prices elevated. Food is ok here. The kale guac is good. Can't really mess up pizza. Just don't fall for the spaghetti squash- definitely not worth it.- all good: bison burger, sashimi tuna salad, kale salad. Dig in!
- Be sure to try the Medicine Man (Antioxidant Blast)! Refreshing and good for you!

Ania ZimnochDecember 31, 2016Wow, I'm so surprised this place has such good ratings. Such mediocre food. My veggie scramble was awful, cold and flavorless. I have no idea why this place is so popular.
Elizabeth McKinleyJuly 1, 2014Arguably the best meal I had this trip, Mediterranean salad w/out-of-this-world vinaigrette, Red Pepper Shrimp & Noodles, watermelon lemonade, melon sorbet. Watch out for sun if seated outside.
Vincent IadevaiaSeptember 16, 2012So healthy it hurts. Consider stopping at In-N-Out on the way home!
Justin FrederickNovember 30, 2014Nothing you order can be bad. The staff is EXTREMELY NICE. MUST VISIT.
Christian RoddyJuly 23, 2017This place BLOWS! Waited 40 minutes after they told us 15.. they had plenty of open tables so idk why they have the tables if they're going to leave half of gen empty.
