   Just had an amazing meal with the family. Really great service, meats were all great and good salad bar. To be honest the last couple of visits over the last 6 months have been pretty average but the family love it so we gave it another try. Huge improvement tonight, great fun time, will be back!!

   Poor service, food not like Brazilian, we could tell that the employees was so confused and had no clue about Brazilian culinary, sweet meats and cold food, also looked like we were invisible for the waitresses, we don’t recommend it at all!

   We always take our son here for his birthday. We had a special dietary request and the manager KAT came out and told us that we could call ahead to make special requests. When you have dietary restrictions, this means everything so we definitely will be back. Thank you KAT!

   Samba's is an elegant restaurant with very tasty and high quality cuisine. We were two couples enjoying the food and atmosphere. All was nice except for there could be a little bit more lighting at the tables. I had a hard time viewing the menu and reviewing the check. Otherwise, I would suggest it.

   The wait staff was very kind and replaced our beverages as needed .. The removal of the used plates wasn’t the best. I had to flag down staff since the table was crowded we had 5 people at a table that normally seats 4. The salad bar was tasty though there were many things that were out because it was busy. When the meat starting coming around we kept getting the same 2 meats coming to our table. I ended up saying something to one of the people that was dishing out the meat , she said she would try and send the others over but no one came . It was an expensive meal and I think some of this happened because it was busy but we did pay a pretty penny for a mediocre experience..

   Food was cooked perfectly. The staff was friendly and extremely fast. For instance when my water glass was about half drank, someone was right there filling it up without me saying a word.

    We love Samba and have been there many times for celebrations. We brought our good friends and though the food and atmosphere were fantastic, as always, I have a few minor complaints. 1. Our reservations were at 5PM. We arrived there at 4:45 as did our friends. We're all in our 70s and there was not sufficient seating in the lobby. So we stood. The hostess did not offer the option to go to the bar, which we would have liked to do, and refused to seat us until the stroke of 5PM. It was very inhospitable. 2. Samba was busy, which is great, but again, we've never experienced such slow, spotty service. We felt ignored. So disappointing. Our bill for 2 couples was approximately $500, and my husband tipped generously, as usual.
