Sambuca - Houston

Will go back for the ambiance, great customer service and live music nightly. I think they are getting back to what people come to expect from Sambuca. When you go share a true review so they can make improvements. It's a nice establishment in DowntownHouston. The food just needs a little more love. Glows: They have remodeled the place on the inside and it is very nice andcomfortable!. Customer service was awesome from the door to the table. The service was fast. Atmosphere is fun and upbeat. Theyhave live music nightly. The drinks and wine selection are on point. You can expect a grown-up pour. Emmitt came to our tableand spoke with us to ensure we were having a great time. Hector and Sashay were great as well!! Grows: The food came out fast,but it wasn't super hot. Everything was warm in temperature. We ordered 3 sides for $19. We chose green beans, potato croquettesand Mac n cheese. They have great green beans but the Mac n cheese is not what you would expect. It was penne pasta with baconpieces and some cheese I guess. It was not the best. I was expecting typical Mac with a twist but this dish gave me pastasalad vibes. My dish had to be remade because I wanted my salmon cooked medium and it came out well done. They made it perfectlythe 2nd time. My husband's dish was good, but he mentioned it lacked the flavor of what you expect from etoufee. We paid $190for our meal and we didn't really enjoy it enough for that price. Once things get better we will definitely go back. We don'tmind paying for a meal as long as the taste and quality matches the dollar! Note: Valet is the best option when coming to thisrestaurant. Don't bother parking and walking. Smart to business casual is acceptable attire. They have a section upstairs thatfits up to 40 people you can reserve that overlook the stage where the live band performs.

My husband I visited on our anniversary and we loved it. The food was very good. The staff made us feel at home...very friendly. They seemed to really love their jobs. Emmitt personally wished us a Happy Anniversary! Live music provided by MandiPowell and she has very a beautiful voice. If you're in Houston, you have to stop by! Valet parking is available

Freeze cold beers, Great Jazz Ensemble! really enjoyed it .. the ambience is more of a private concert. Several clean spacious bathrooms. Come back for Thursday at night.

I celebrated my birthday here this past Friday. I made reservations and requested an area that I could view the band but not be too close. The restaurant got it right! Our seats were perfect. The food and drinks were good, our server Micheal was on point and the band was great! All of my party had a great time and said they would come back! I was even given a birthday tribute where the band allowed me to come on stage and it made me feel extremely special! And they had valet! 10/10.

The manager Emmett went over and beyond to make sure everyone was well taken care of. Rachel Enrique are masters at making fine drinks the magic that Rob creates in the kitchen is mind blowing
