Brazilian South American Steakhouse

Directions

Samba Grille is a steakhouse, yes, but not like any other steakhouse in town. The South American-tinged dishes here feature a range of flavors, from Peruvian ceviches to Argentinean-style beef hearts served alongside plantains. Steaks here are always top-notch and seafood receives the same thoughtful treatment in dishes like a tamarind-glazed salmon or lobster bisque with giant choclo corn pieces throughout. The wine list is excellent, with a Winemaker system giving lots of by-the-glass options that would normally be cost-prohibitive.
