    The format is the same as most every other Brazilian Steakhouse we’ve been to in the U.S. There is a set price which includes the buffet and all of the meats. Drinks and desserts if you choose to have them are extra.We arrived fairly late on a Saturday evening. We had reservations and were seated immediately. Samba was busy but not crowded. Our waitress arrived shortly, brought a basket of yucca puffs filled with cheese, took our drink order, explained how it works, and then we headed toward the salad bar. The salad bar has a good selection of both hot and cold items. I thought the swiss, brick, and blue cheeses were all top notch. There were regular and spicy almonds. Spinach, mixed greens, romaine were all available for making a cold salad. Marinated artichokes and hearts of palm made for some tasty and unusual ingredients. There was a chickpea salad, a curried potato salad, and a pesto pasta salad with sun-dried tomatoes. A couple of soups were available and well as an incredibly delicious lamb and black-bean stew which I devoured. This wasn’t the most extensive salad bard I’ve seen at a Brazilian steak-house, but it contained a good mix of traditional american items with a good mix of Brazilian items to please all tastes. The hardest part about the salad bar is making sure you leave for all of the meats to come.The evening we were there, the skewers of meats included, a sausage, mango chicken, garlic chicken wings, pork w/Parmesan cheese, flank steak, sirloin steak, lamb and pineapple (obviously not a meat, but served like one). The lamb, sirloin, and pork were all delicious. They were brought around multiple times and you could have multiple servings each time if you so desired. The flank steak was a little tough and was not my favorite until I got some chimichurri sauce from the salad bar. Wow! This was great! I should have gotten this from the beginning. It’s a green sauce of parsley, garlic, olive oil, oregano, and vinegar. It really matched the flank steak and made it sing.Our beverages were also very good. Cachaca and rum were the primary liquors. They were delicious, large, and priced as you would expect at fine-dining restaurant.We didn’t save room for the desserts. They are extra – in the $7 – $10 range.This isn’t a place I would go every week. It’s just too much food and you are paying for it. But, I will definitely go back. Just make sure you are particularly hungry and hungry for a lot of meat.

    We were given some type of steak that was so rare blood spilled all over my plate. I usually don’t mind rare steak, so I took a bite of it…. It tasted bad. Like bad meat that would make you sick. My husband agreed. We both lost out appetite after that!
