This is what May looks like at Sam's Table. Chef Sam's new four-course tasting menu leans into late spring -- spring onion custard, wagyu, fluke tartare with green strawberry, asparagus and uni, berry and spruce, and more. Thoughtful dishes built around what's coming in fresh right now from the farms and purveyors we know and trust. Reservations available at link in bio.

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

Before this Mother's Day, Heidi Blum invited us to share something deeply personal -- the story of family, risk, hospitality, and building Sam's Table together. This Sunday, we would be honored to welcome your family to our table. Select reservations remain on Tock. Link in bio.

🎙️ NEW EPISODE DROP — and this one feels especially meaningful for Mother’s Day ❤️ This week on Behind the Counter with the Food Czar, I sit down with the incredible mother-and-son duo behind Sam’s Table — Deborah and Sam Stymest. What started during COVID as a socially distanced backyard dining experience for neighbors — seven courses shared apart, yet deeply connected — quickly became something people truly needed. A way to gather, feel normal again, and reconnect through food. That experience evolved into pop-ups across New Jersey and New York City before eventually finding a permanent home in Montclair. Today, Sam’s Table is an intimate 26-seat restaurant serving a thoughtful four-course seasonal tasting menu where every detail feels intentional and personal. Sam, a trained chef, leads the creative vision in the kitchen while Deborah runs the front of house and business side. But what makes this conversation so special is hearing about their relationship — the trust, the pride, and the role reversal as Deborah admits that in the restaurant… Sam is the boss ❤️ At its core, this episode is about more than just a restaurant. It’s about food, family, resilience, and the connections that bring people together. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts
