Great atmosphere. But restaurant doesn't put their best foot forward. You can't find the name Samba on the outside of the restaurant. We found a small portable sign on the sidewalk that pointed across the street. The sign is wrong. You enter the Cabana Room and then go upstairs. Ugh
Once seated and the process is explained we found we had to fight our way through the salad, vegetable and potato bar. It is a crowded location and with way too many people using it. It is in the round with no clear start, so you just jump in front of others. Double ugh
The meat is served at the table and the selection and taste is great. The wait staff is very friendly, attentive and helpful. The rest of the meal went well. We weren't brave enough to venture back to the vegetable bar but enjoyed the variety of meats served.
The restaurant is noisy. A loud voice is needed to communicate to anyone sitting at the table, much less to the wait staff.
