Second thing, the food was amazing, but there is a long wait which is totally fine, it is worthy but they must inform us that the wait will be lo no which they did not, this way we can kinda prepare and not be upset maybe get some extra apps. Overall the food is definitely what saves the place and you can bring your own wine which is great. They do not serve alcoholic beverages.

Went here recently and had a really frustrating experience. When we arrived, there was no host and…read morewe had to wait before anyone acknowledged us. After being seated, it took about 20 minutes just to get drinks. When we finally ordered, we were told they didn't have what my mom wanted (15 after we had placed our order) so she had to choose something else. A lot of items were listed as "MP" (market price), so we could not even know what the dishes cost until after we got them (???) The food took about an hour to come out. It was actually really good, but the service completely ruined it. We kept asking for drinks and basic things, and they never came. It also wasn't busy, which made it worse. At the end, they even charged us for an extra dish we didn't order, and we had to catch it ourselves. Overall, between the slow service, poor communication, and billing issues, I wouldn't come back. Fui recientemente y fue una experiencia muy frustrante. Cuando llegamos, no había nadie en la entrada y tuvimos que esperar antes de que alguien nos atendiera. Después de sentarnos, tardaron como 20 minutos solo para traer las bebidas. Cuando finalmente ordenamos, nos dijeron que no tenían lo que mi mamá quería (después de 15 minutos de que tomaron nuestra orden) así que tuvo que escoger otra cosa. Muchos platos estaban marcados como "MP" (precio de mercado), asi que no podíamos saber el precio del plata hasta después que lo ordenáramos (???) La comida tardó aproximadamente una hora en salir. Estaba muy buena, pero el servicio arruinó la experiencia. Pedimos bebidas varias veces y nunca las trajeron, y ni siquiera estaba lleno el lugar. Al final, nos cobraron un plato extra que nunca pedimos y tuvimos que darnos cuenta nosotros. En general, entre el servicio lento, la mala comunicación y errores en la cuenta, no volvería.

An $11.50 tip was already included on my $93 bill, yet the itemized receipt showing that charge was wrapped around my credit card, while the signature copy with only the total was placed on top. That presentation feels intentional and misleading. Most people would sign without double-checking the tucked receipt and could easily tip twice. If gratuity is being added, even for a party of one, say it clearly. Transparency matters. Great food doesn't excuse shady billing practices.

It's one of those dishes that gets even more delicious as you eat it. The meal was perfectly balanced, made with fresh, high quality ingredients. The chef was back there doin his thing! The pancakes were fluffy came topped with blueberries and strawberries, and a generous carafe of dulce de leche. I was worried that it might be a little sweet, but again this dish was perfectly balanced and flavorful. We will definitely make a trip back for brunch in the near future.

It happened again today. ICED LATTE. I said it 3 times. I should have wondered, when she handed me the crate with 2 cups, why was my iced latte in a hot cup??? Unfortunately, I was in a rush and didn't realize until I arrived at my next destination. The first time I went there I said NO MEAT and when I got to my destination and took my first bite, I tasted bacon. Really getting tired of this and so disappointed.

The sides of mixed veggies, black beans and sweet plantains were added pluses. Passion fruit mousse was a standout dessert. All good portions, lovingly plated. Samba's cozy, rustic decor, attentive service, and not-too-loud music rounded out a spectacular meal. Go there. You'll float out, too.
