Always love coming to Samba! It’s great for date night or a nice dinner with family. As someone with Celiac disease, finding a restaurant that’s 100% gluten free is like heaven for me! Everything is always delicious, & the service is impeccable! Absolutely my favorite go to place!

Friendly staff. The non alcoholic drinks were terrific. Food was just ok, maybe. the value wasn’t equal to the food. Not even close. It was $45 for kinda cheap tasting and quality food. I had like stir fry quality beef with a cream sauce and it was like forty something dollars. My wife’s just tasted like acorn squash loaded up with cheese, butter and cream again for like $40 something. Ambiance is nice. I guess if you’re going to have a couple appetizers and bring some rum to add to their drinks but if a friend asked I can’t recommend.

Really love this place. The food is really good. It has the perfect amount of seasoning. The salgadinhos sortidos were delicious and had a great amount of filling. The cheesy bread is amazing. The Frango com Quiabo was flavorful and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this place for food, atmosphere and great service.

Wonderfully unique, fabulous menu, foods cooked to perfection. The acorn squash with creamy shrimp was heavenly and was the gnocchi bolognese. Oh, and you must have a coffee - its exquisite.

Absolutely fabulous, first time ever eating at Samba and will definitely not be the last time. The employees were very attentive and the food was amazing. Everything we ordered was delicious and the fact that everything is gluten free makes it even better. Can’t wait to go back and try the other items on their menu.
