   The tables are too small and no table clothes. Main entree price is reasonable. Appetizers and desserts are expensive. Service is oustanding

   The food was excellent, but not worth what we paid. For a BYO, we Got 2 apps and one dinner and it was 113! They added in their own service charge, which felt ridiculous considering we were 2 people and the service was less than great.

    Samba was recommended to me by a Brazilian acquaintance and so I took that recommendation to heart. Samba did not disappoint! From the fun decor and casual ambiance; from the delicious first bite of cheesy puffs brought to our table through to the last bite, the flavors were delicious and unlike what I would have expected. I only wish I had room for dessert! Can't wait to go back!

    Definitely felt a bit rushed by the staff. The first thing they tell you before saying hello is that you have two hours to eat.

    I was very disappointed. They raised the prices which I’m ok with but they added to many restrictions. I went to celebrate father’s a day early with my husband, his mom and of course my baby. The place looks nice but they have a two hour limit per reservation. You can’t order an appetizer before you order food & it seems like you are rush and they are the one doing you a favor. 20% of the tip is already included which I understand that the owners policy is not the servers fault. I love to eat put with my family and I believe if I’m going to spend money it should be a nice expiration with my family not rush not restrictions. Is fair to say that even though the food is good is not worth the headache. I won’t return to samba.

    We loved the ambiance and the food. Every dish was delicious. The servers were attentive and friendly though at times we felt "rushed". Some of the waiters were very very nice and we enjoyed chatting with them. It was a bit more expensive that we had anticipated. It would have been nice to have some caipivodkas. :) We will go back and try it on a Wednesday when we understand there is live music. We look forward to experiencing it again.

    As a gluten-free gal, I very much enjoyed my experience at Samba! My boyfriend and I were able to enjoy literally anything on the menu, which made ordering super fun. We were sufficiently full by the end of the meal, and everything was absolutely delish! Highly recommend.

    Absolutely incredible! I was there with 4 girlfriends, one of which is gluten free. She was PSYCHED that the entire menu was GF and so tried a bunch of different apps+entrees and shared it all. Dessert was also insanely delicious! Definitely going back!

    Sam a created a creative, co for table and unique environment for your dining pleasure. Had the Samba panini which was very good. Also was watching what others were having so will be returning to enjoy other things on the menu. It was a very pleasing and different experience. The staff was wonderful.

    There are very few good restaurants in Montclair and this is one of them. The food was served quickly, nicely prepared, and looked delicious. We tried the salgadinhos sortidos and I should've ordered for myself, it was so good! Loved the decor too. I'll go back soon!

    The food was amazing!!!! My mother was born and raised in Brazil I didn’t think it would be like moms but then I take the first bite and it was so close to my mothers cooking it really felt good and I knew my wife and I found the prefect place. We will most definitely return.

    Food and ambience were great. Our server Gabrielle was attentive and celebrated our daughter's birthday and graduation with us. He was also gracious to extend the celebration to my wife and I who also celebrated birthdays in the week. That was unexpected and very kind of him and the establishment.

    The food was delicious but after dinner/once our plates were cleared it took about 20-25 minutes for someone to come to offer us a dessert menu. Overall really enjoyed this restaurant and would visit again, just slow service.

    Took 45-60 minutes for someone to ask us our order. The food came out quickly, though. Only a 20 minute wait. And the servers were nice. But the food was mostly salad options, which in the end could be bought anywhere at a cheaper cost. My date and I could barely hear each other, and we were inside. I won’t go again. Not worth it
