On Friday, December 18, 2015, our firm had our Christmas party at Sambucas. We had an amazing time. The staff was great. The service was exceptional. The food was delicious! And the drinks, wow! Yummy! We had a great table from where we could see the incredible band playing that evening. Great music! Thank you all at Sumbucas for making our Christmas party a very memorable one! Sincerely, Martha Flores
You can't beat this place. The atmosphere is romantic and upscale, the food is absolutely YUMMY, with a wide variety of options. I've sat everywhere in this restaurant, from the bar, to the patio, near the live music stage, and even had my rehearsal dinner party in the upstairs private-bar room with a balcony overlooking the restaurant and stage. Absolutely amazing restaurant in the walkable heart of downtown Houston. From day one I interfaced with Erica at Sambuca and she is above and beyond the best!
Loved the dancing and the atmosphere. Great place would definitely go again. Plus food was amazing.
The best! – I had been here many years ago and decided to take my husband with me a few nights ago. We were both impressed. I had my usual, seafood integration and we ordered the buca beignets. The toffee pudding is also incredible. He commented that his steak was perfect. The only complaint that I have (which doesn't make me change my 5* review) is that the portion sizes are way too small. His steak was around $30.00 for a tiny filet. I know this is fine dining, but they should up the portion sizes. The music was fine, we d... read more
The ONLY place downtown I'll eat lunch – I work across the street, and try to get to Sambuca for lunch at least 2-3 times per week. I've had the blackened snapper, which was awesome, but a little too large of a portion for me. My favorites are the lobster enchiladas and the fish tacos. I go right at noon and they are usually pretty busy, but I've only had to wait for a table a handful of times. Amy the bartender is awesome and the tall, lighter haired manager always comes by and says hello.
Theres a reason no one is in your place for lunch – I cant speak for what goes on for evening but as far as lunch goes i cant fathom how they still stay open. Food is borderline garbage, blackened snapper etoufee as they call is taste like flour oil and dirty rice from lubys. Guess what thats not etoufee. Besides the food the service is always horrible and theres never anyone in there. Never again will my coworkers convince me to eat there.
Everything was great and we will return! – I love the live music. The music was not too loud and perfect for me and my friends to chat. The food was awesome, we had a great time. I had the lobster enchiladas and a mohito. I will return soon.
Dinnner, drinks, and dancing – Sambuca is one of my favorite places, i love going with groups. Its the kind of place to go with good friends not acquaintances- it gets VERY loud with the music so don't expect to be able to hear each other across the table and make small talk. Expect to get tipsy and maybe do a little dancing. The food is pretty good, i like to get a bunch of their small plates- aka appetizers. I have never had bad service, from the hostesses to the bartenders to the servers and managers. I really love this p... read more
