Review content:
There's a reason for the empty tables on Valentine's Day, and that the first question the waiter asks is, ""Have you been here before?"" It's because people don't go back there, so it's full of first-timers! I worked as a server for two years in one of Utah's premier steakhouses, so I know good food and good service. Neither exists at the Samba Grill. Our table had no tablecloth, no napkins (utensils placed right on the table), no salt, no pepper, no water, no bread, and the room had no heat and no ambiance. The napkins never came, so we found some ourselves, the water came only after repeated requests, and when we complained to the manager, nothing happened. Of course she had said she would take care of it. The meat rarely came, and when it did, it was with attitude, or the same as before (pork three times in a row), or stingy portions, or inedible. Of course it didn't start to come until after we were nice and full on salads and potatoes. Salad bar costs extra (some buffet), and a poor selection at that. What really did it for me was biting into a bad chicken wing. Yes, meat that had gone bad, folks! What we did get a lot of was waiting and wanting. About the tastiest thing was the Coke, which was never refilled, of course. There's a reason for the long wait or full reservations at Rodizio's, they're worth it. Two lemonades: $10.00, two buffets $43.00, total tab for two with tip, $70.00. The friends we went with never speaking to us again, priceless.
