"Visited Sambuca for HRW and was a little worried because of some of the mixed reviews. However, my experience was great. Our server Jaylah was amazing! She was knowledgeable, professional and genuinely friendly. We ordered the crab and shrimp bisque, caesar salad, smoked pork chop and shrimp scampi. They did not disappoint. The meal ended with the dessert trio (white choc cheesecake, chocolate toffee tort, and lemon tart). The atmosphere was pleasant. The music selection was well rounded and when the live music started, it became a fun vibe. Will definitely be back again."

The snapper dish with zucchini noodles was amazing. I highly recommend it.
Jaye
Food was amazing; the best shrimp scampi I’ve ever had. Service wasn’t as pleasant but the live music was quite entertaining.

Pooor experience overall, felt like a ghost town, could not find server, food was mediocre, very unfortunate experience, regrettably. View menu

The live music was a great accompaniment to my meal. For a Monday late afternoon it was pretty empty but that made my meal quick and the music that was being performed was a great way to wrap up my day

The hostess and onsite manager were both rude and dismissive… they refused to honor a valid OpenTable reservation because it was made on the same day… the place was half empty… their attitudes were ridiculous and unacceptable.

I was very disappointed in the mother's day brunch. The food quality was poor; not work $55/person. Our server was not knowledgeable or truthful about availability of options. The live music was limited. Mostly recorded music. We expected more from a jazz brunch. However, the hostesses, bartenders, and Buffett staff were friendly and obliged to assist. Overall, a waste of a mother's day brunch. I hope to give it an chance on a normal, no buffet day. If it's better, I'll update the review. View menu

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. We were surprised to find out about an entertainment charge per person after ordering our appetizers and entrees. The hostess didn't mention this when confirming our reservation, nor was it mentioned before we were seated. The food and service were both just average. While the appetizers came out quickly, they lacked flavor. Additionally, we were only allowed 2 hours to dine, which felt rushed. Despite enjoying the music, which started at 8pm, we had to pay $16 to listen to the band for about an hour.

Food was excellent, however, service was subpar. The server was extremely nice, but Service was reminiscent of a chain restaurant versus a fine dining restaurant. For instance, took my date's drink order, but not mine. Asked for an appetizer that came out with the meal. Food was auctioned instead by seat number (if you ever waited table you understand this). Just a couple of examples. Overall the band was on point (if not a bit loud), the hostess very nice, and the food and drinks were very good. I could see why this place was dead on a Friday night though.
