| - I had an amazing experience at Sushi Samba last night. Fair enough, it wasn't packed so I'm sure it was easier to pay attention to us, but still. It's not too often that you get Brazilian/Peruvian/Japanese food on one menu. Our server Javier was fantastic - attentive, helpful, knowledgeable, fun, but not the least bit overbearing. The manager Hayes was the same. We felt like we were constantly checked on and attended to - quite luxurious.
They helped us pick some amazing items off of the giant menu, and we were thrilled with all of the items we had.
Tempura green beans, yellowtail tiradito, the samba strip roll (possibly our favorite), and the churrasco (we got hanger steak, pork tenderloin and linguisa).
The cocktails.
Oh.
My.
God.
The cocktails.
Amazing, fresh, delicious. . . . I had the monthly special (a strawberry mojito), and a lemon samurai which was seriously the most amazing drink I've ever had.
My only gripe with things that are flown in fresh from all around the world - impressive yes, but the environment scowls in your general direction Sushi Samba. Situated in the largest LEED certified building in the world (http://www.commercialpropertynews.com/cpn/content_display/regions/southwest/e3i76b446d81cf85aa4fc437cba15737e76), you'd think this would be a faux pas.
Take advantage of it if your conscience allows - you won't be sorry. The two of us got out after two cocktails each and the shared food mentioned for under $150. Not bad for an upscale Vegas restaurant.
