"Having visited this restaurant years ago I decided to give it another try for a Valentines Day dinner. Normally closed on Monday and Tuesday, Samba wisely was open on Valentine’s Day to cater to the spillover crowds from other restaurants. One’s experience there may largely depend on expectations. The serving style is no longer typical of most Brazilian Churrascarias. Gone are the endless parade of servers, armed with espetos (Brazilian skewers), laden with succulent meat to be carved off onto your plate fresh from the grill. Instead the meat menu offers the traditional pichaha cut along with many others. The diner makes his/her selections, specifies the desired doneness and then the waiter puts the order into the kitchen. About 20 minutes later, a plate arrives with the selections arranged on a bed of salad greens. This process may be repeated as the “feast” option is all-you-can-eat for just south of $60. This disadvantage of this style of serving is trying to figure out which meat is which. The waiter did not explain this and I neglected to ask. Ordering an additional portion of a favorite thus became problematic. Most of the meats were good but most cooked far more than the medium-rare I requested. Apparently the meat is sliced before grilling which makes cooking to order hit or miss. I was served bacon wrapped chicken even though I didn’t order it. The chicken was dry as the Sahara so I would advise my fellow diners to avoid this selection as you would rattlesnakes and earthquakes! While waiting for your meat to arrive, unlimited visits to the soup, salad and vegetable bar pass the time and help ensure you will likely not request seconds on meat. The good news is that there were many tasty offerings. And if you ordered any of the many Brazilian libations, the wait for your entree passes quickly. The menu also offers a host of “a la carte” dinners, including seafood. The restaurant boasts an oceanfront location giving you a sweeping panorama if it is light outside. Sadly at night this advantage disappears in the blackness. By the entrance is a well stocked bar with a small dance floor. A disk jockey provided background music when we were there. The color scheme is largely black with a few tasteful decorations. All in all, Samba by the Sea is a reasonable choice for dinner especially if you know which meats to order and which to avoid. Dining early enough to catch the sunset would be a plus. Our waiter was fairly prompt and attentive, as was the hostess. But they didn’t seem particularly knowledgeable. Make sure you get your waiter to explain the meat choices and point out which is which on your plate."

I loved the location of the Samba Restaurant...The treatment of the waiters was excellent and the flavor and the finishing of the meats to the taste of the clients is a delight...I will definitely repeat the visit soon...

This was disappointing. It was loud, dirty, and expensive. I did like that they had a salad bar only option so that helped to save some money. The waitress was really helpful and attentive so no complaints about the staff. But- food was plentiful yet average. View menu

We recently celebrated our daughter's 18th birthday at this restaurant, and it was an incredible experience. The view is breathtaking, and the servers are exceptionally friendly. The owner, Elias, treated us like family, which made it even more special. I wouldn't hesitate to return and wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Amazing place to eat exquisite food. All meats are made to order which I prefer over someone walking around with the food to serve. Filet mignon was amazing but so were the rest of their meats. Definitely get the all you can eat. Well worth it. The view is stunning over looking Redondo beach and was able to catch the sunset. Service was also amazing. Will always comeback. Vegetarian options: Big salad bar. Delicious

I don’t recommend this place at all !!!! I came from San Diego looking forward to seeing this place. It was very expensive for a bad service for a bad food and on top of that they charge me $5 dollars per person for the samba dancers.They were very limited with the food choices. As myself I like to eat small and they were insisting of me getting the most expensive meal from the menu and I got a sad cheeseburger which cost me more than $20. View menu

We were a group of 12, and while the service was excellent, the food left much to be desired. It felt like a total waste of money. I’ve been to several Brazilian restaurants before, and Samba was the worst experience I’ve had. I wouldn’t recommend spending your time or money here. We paid $59 per person for a buffet, but the food looked like it had been sitting out for hours. Additionally, there was no table-side meat service; instead, they served the meat on small wooden plates the size of saucers. It was a total disappointment!

As for the food, it was quite underwhelming. They charge $60 per person for all-you-can-eat, which is not worth it! The meat lacked proper seasoning, and the garlic bread was subpar. We ordered our meat to be cooked medium rare and well done, but the medium rare meat that was placed on the cutting board started to run and flow onto our plates. We asked the staff for napkins twice, but they didn’t offer to help clean up the mess. Some of the medium rare meat we requested ended up being cooked medium instead. We ordered sausage, but the waiter forgot, and we had to remind him, resulting in a long wait. Overall, I would not recommend coming here.

"My experience on this website was extremely unpleasant. Using open table I booked what I thought was a reservation. Upon arrival to the location, I am informed that not only is this restaurant/ location not affiliated to the opentable website; but wait time would be approximately 1 hour. Despite having received an email from open table confirming a “reservation”, BJ’s Restaurant at the Del Amo Fashion Center refused to validate booking and seat our party. Management at this establishment, at the time of expected service “Chris” confirmed booking through the website was only a “quote” of the expected time of service. I was assured nothing could be done since the restaurant was full low staffed. It’s important to note that I have dined at this location on several occasions, and was not nearly as busy compared to past visits. We were encouraged to wait, our party was seated within 15 minutes. Please note my review is based on booking through this website, and the miscommunication between open table corporate BJ’s Restaurants and managing staff. Our waitress was lovely, and the restaurant accommodated to our party as they could. I want to believe that BJ’s is no longer affiliated to open table, and if this is the case please REMOVE THE RESERVATION OPTION. It’s extremely disappointing to use this service only to be let down."
