Shrimp Po Boy

Located on Riverfront this building is perfect for a successful restaurant.  Overlooking the falls completely on one side and a patio on another, this is where I would want to take someone visiting Cuyahoga Falls.  For some reason there has been a string of unsuccessful restaurants in this building, but Samira is here to change that.  We went on a Saturday afternoon in the winter time.  The view of the falls from our table was outstanding.  The decor is clean, with old pictures around.  One drawback is they have plastered their name everywhere, even on the paper covering the table.  I don't blame them really, they are trying to distinguish themselves from the other failed tries at that location, but it does come off as tacky.  The food was delightful.  We started the meal with the Mac & Cheese appetizer.  It was great, the blu cheese really added to it and the sausage just gave it some depth.  We also got the spinach dip.  This was not as good.  I would say average, but it did have fresh spinach and was definitely made there.  The flatbread that came with it tasted good, but didn't hold up well to dipping.  I got a pizza with portebella mushrooms, spinach, feta cheese, chipotle oil, and red pepper flakes.  It was good, and even better leftover.  Our wine guy got a shrimp po boy and said it was good.  It had fried green tomatoes on it, a special sauce, and came with seasoned fries.  They call the fries "Jazzed".  TBG got a burger with samira sauce and homemade chips.  He said the burger was messy but tasted high quality and the sauce was very good.  We all agreed everything tasted fresh and homemade.  Definately a place we will be going back to.
