Cozy LES spot for modern Mediterranean plates and natural wines; excellent flavors in a tiny room, but prices and portions feel steep to some and service pace can rush.
Sami & Susu delivers exceptional food quality anchored by ingredient-driven Mediterranean cooking—standout seafood, celebrated dips, and thoughtful wine guidance elevate the experience. However, tight quarters and modest portions paired with intermittent consistency gaps prevent grade A territory. The restaurant excels as a destination for flavor-focused diners willing to embrace its intimate, high-priced format.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (mains $32-49) which may surprise casual diners
