How does it work?

The Sample Circuit opens up the world of restaurants to you. The events pair restaurants with adventurous patrons by inviting groups to sample some of the finest food and spirits over a casual happy hour. Although each and every event has a different flavor, they follow the same format… sample, sip, mingle, repeat- it’s as simple as that.

Every event includes:
= Sampling menus crafted especially for Sample Circuit by the chefs

= Exclusive wine selections perfectly paired to the evening

= Featured martinis & cocktails

= Gourmet goodie bags to take home

What time are the events?

All Sample Circuit events are hosted conveniently between 5:30 & 7:30 pm and guests are encouraged to stay and enjoy the restaurant after the event ends.

How much does it cost?

All events cost $38

May I buy a ticket at the door?

We do allow purchasing tickets at the door (cash only), but do not recommend. Our events frequently sell out and we would hate it if we could not accommodate you. FYI- if there are tickets still available you can purchase them on-line at SampleCircuit.com up until the event begins.

Is there assigned seating?

No. Sample Circuit creates a mingling atmosphere. Each location is different and there is always a mix of standing and seating. From food stations to butler passing, the food is made to mingle.

May I come alone?

Yes. Our events have a mingling aspect, guests should feel comfortable coming as a single or in groups.

How does Sample Circuit select the restaurants?

“Premier” restaurants are approached by Sample Circuit to participate based upon food, atmosphere and service and usually fall into the fine dining category. All the locations have something unique that catches our eye, as well as having a particular commitment to include ethnic and privately owned restaurants. We love your ideas… restaurants and guests should feel free to contact us directly if we have overlooked a gem. (info@samplecircuit.com)

How many events will Sample Circuit host?

Sample Circuit hosts 24 events per year. There are so many wonderful restaurants to experience and we regret if your favorite is not on the list. We visit each participating restaurant once within the calendar year.

How does Sample Circuit support charity?

We are always looking for more ways to help. A portion of every ticket sold is donated to fighting the battle of hunger.
