Samba Brazilian Steakhouse - Mirage Hotel & Casino

Samba has been at the mirage Hotel/Casino for about 17 years, which is about twice the average casino restaurant life expectancy. I have often eaten there and visited my friends of scottsdale and suggested we go there. that was very happy as I read on the line and checked with our head office that sambas ende august will be closed. we were only happy that my visit was not the next month. the restaurant has changed in the course of the years. originally they offered a single rodizio restaurants choice, all meat, fish and ananas (wonderful.) likely to lower their price point, they currently offer two Rodizio experiences. they still have a full of selections, although not as many as before and the limited rodizio waives the salmon and filet mignon. we have all chosen the latter because there is no lack of food choices. the food was very good and the service was excellent as my experience was. the margarita’s were scaled again in size, but the taste is still excellent. overall our experience was also very good with the noticeable setbacks to control the costs. we were all satisfied with dinner and will miss sambas. By the way, it is replaced by an average price (for the strip, that is) Italian restaurant opening late autumn.

The service was excellent, all steaks were delicious. the caipirinha was not the greatest, but someone who has not lived or visited in Brazil cannot have a reference point and find it satisfactory. the most disappointing part was to find out as soon as we were inside and ordered our drinks that it was not traditional rodizio with the salatable, dessertable and so on. I was very excited about it. samba closes the 31st august, maybe that's the reason I don't know.

Sad this place is closing. The filet mignon is awesome. Worth the cost for sure.

The steak came around plentifully. Had my fill with no waiting. I appreciate the water choices. Last time we were given Fiji water and charged extra. This time they offered tap water first. I appreciate that. Will be back again.

It was a return Trip for us, usually service is great, it was not the case this time. Our server was a nervous wreck, made for a frustrating evening, food was great!
