![]() The atmosphere was vibrant, the dancers entertaining, and the restaurant was clean. We appreciated that our table was ready when we arrived and the welcoming staff was friendly and attentive. We made reservations for 7:00 and arrived on time. On Saturday December 29, 2018, my girlfriend, myself and our two close friends, who just flew in from Chicago, decided to spend my birthday dinner at. Samba.what happened? You used to be an elite Brazilian Churrascaria, but on our recent visit I was very disappointed. There's much better option in the city walk. All I can tell you definitely, is that the buffet is absolutely not worth the price tag. There was no sense of party whatsoever, which is funny because isn't the whole carnival thing supposed to be lively? I was actually kinda let down overall. I was actually looking forward to the Samba dancers. In my opinion, meats were over done and dry. Meat that came around was nothing special, it's the typical lower end kind of meat, like flank, chicken breast, etc. The salad bar-ish situation was mainly tomatoes and olive with other ingredients, soup was unmarked and looked slightly questionable. I'm not that knowledgeable on Brazilian cuisine, but I'm pretty certain, there's more to be offered than what I saw. The option for food is either $50-60 (can't remember exact price) buffet or order whatever entree individually with steep price, so we did the buffet. I walked in, this was around 7 pm, the restaurant was very empty. it appear as though the inside of the restaurant is rather intimate looking, food appears a lot more appealing. Service was fine, not that great, but not that bad. So, I took my friend who traveled internationally to Universal Studios, and by the look of this restaurant's website, it looked fun, so I gave it a shot.

I don’t think the servers know how to properly slice the meat so there was no consistency and the cuts were unappealing. The place is very clean and spacious… very welcoming and our waitstaff was awesome and frequently checked up on us but when it came to the actual food, that’s when everything took a negative turn. With all that being said… I must unfortunately say that this is the WORST Brazilian food I’ve ever had. My boyfriend and I have been together for several years and in that time I have had Brazilian food many many times from different cities, counties, and even different countries. I’m a pass holder for Universal and am dating a Brazilian, so when we saw this restaurant we were so excited to stop by.
