This place has gone downhill. We've been here a handful of times over the past couple of years and it's always been pretty decent, but after going today we won't be back. The food in the past has been very good for the most part, although the service has always been spotty, along with the quality of the meats and pineapple. It's totally hit or miss and there's no consistency whatsoever.
I would be more okay with some of the food being better than others (I'm talking the same cut or sirloin being better one time around and much worse 20 minutes later) if it weren't for the fact that they seem to have significantly cut down on their selection, while simultaneously raising their prices (used to be $35, now is around $42 per person). The salad bar today was severely lacking and not at all up to par with what we've had in the past here. We were there for over an hour and were only offered three or four different meat selections, when in the past it was closer to ten. We still left full, but it just isn't the same. Samba was special because of its great selection, but now that it has lost that, we won't be back. Certainly not worth the price anymore.
