SUNDAY JULY 26 // 5:30 PM // limited seats available ✨

So many things started during the pandemic: social distancing, sourdough starters, doom scrolling - and the seeds for a few special businesses. On Sunday, July 26th @damonwise1 will be firing up the smoker that started it all in 2020 with @wisemeats and led to @pineappleexpressbarbecue for a Backyard Barbecue with @chefstymest where @samstablenj all began.

Make a reservation over @samstablenj for the six course dinner from the kitchen and the smoker. Can’t wait to see you all again ✨ taken in Montclair, New Jersey by @chefstymest

Staff appreciation Tuesday!

I’ve known Emily for about three years now, and she’s just one of those people I’ve always trusted to walk in and make the night better.

She’s got way better taste in music than me, always knows how to keep things fun, and somehow keeps everyone’s energy up - especially mine when I’m dragging halfway through service.

What I appreciate most is that nothing about her feels forced. She just does her thing and the whole room feels it.

And yeah…. She also happens to be a really talented architect!

Really glad your doing this with us, Em - chef Sam taken in Sam's Table NJ by @chefstymest

Staff Appreciation Wednesday!!
If you’ve been to Sam’s Table, you know Mariia — our rock from day one.
From the moment we met, I knew she was the person to elevate the front of house — not just run it, but truly shape it into what it is today.
From your quirky Eastern European charm to the care and precision you bring to everything you do, there’s no one I’d rather be on this journey of building a restaurant with.
Keep doing your thing — Sam’s Table wouldn’t be the same without you. - Chef Sam taken in Sam's Table NJ by @chefstymest

Last Sunday was something special.
A huge thank you to Sean and the entire team at Ram & Rooster for an incredible collaboration — thoughtful, generous, and deeply inspiring from start to finish. It’s rare to share a kitchen with people who care this much, and it showed in every detail.
Grateful for the energy, the ideas, and the trust. Looking forward to the next one. by @chefstymest

March at Sam’s Table.

A new menu starts Thursday.

The room’s been feeling especially good lately — 26 seats, lights low, music on, the windows a little fogged up once service gets going. It’s small enough that you can hear the pass, see plates come together, feel the rhythm of the night.

The new menu leans into early spring. A little lighter, a little brighter, but still grounded. Four courses, a few choices along the way. Nothing overworked. Just thoughtful cooking and attention where it counts.

If you’ve been, you know the pace. If you haven’t, this is a good one to start with.

$90 per person.
Optional bread & butter and dessert supplements available.

Reservations are live on our website and on Tock.

See you at the table. taken in Sam's Table NJ by @chefstymest

Ram & Rooster — Take Two.

Last week’s blizzard forced us to postpone, but good things are worth waiting for.

Our collaboration dinner with Ram & Rooster has officially been rescheduled for March 15th at 6PM — and we’re excited to finally bring this one to the table.

It’ll be the same thoughtful, ingredient-driven menu we had planned, the same collaborative spirit, just with a little extra anticipation behind it. Nights like this don’t come around often.

We only have a couple seats left.

If you had a reservation before, have been meaning to book, or just want to be part of a special one-off dinner with us — now’s the time.

Reserve through the link on our website or find us on Tock. taken in Sam's Table NJ by @chefstymest
