From my experience eating there, SamSara seemed to be one of those “ooh, wouldn’t it be fun to own a restaurant?” places from owners who don’t know nearly enough about the business to actually RUN a restaurant. They are nice ladies, and I wish them luck on the next incarnation of the place (which I will probably try–once, unless it is a vast improvement). But I hope they’ve learned more since they originally opened.
Would have been nice if the lady holding the apartment sale answered the buzzer!
@Nicole: Right?! (Was it you I went up with?)
@Erik: No, but I tried it at 10 and again at 10:45.. Nada!
