Sambuca

Came here for an anniversary date, first time here as well. The live music was great energy! They played all kinds of different music genres and it seemed it was a great environment for that, they have a dance floor for those who are feeling the music. Wished we had a better view since we were celebrating an anniversary and had made a reservation. I ordered their alfredo pasta and added grilled chicken and it was delicious 😋, their shrimp and crab dip also came out hot and was also delicious.

I had dinner at Sambuca in Houston before a show at the neighboring Emerald Theatre. We were very impressed with the food, atmosphere, and service. I ordered the pork chop and prosciutto Mac and cheese, asparagus, and broccoli. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, juicy and flavorful. The Mac and cheese was also delicious, with a rich and creamy sauce. The asparagus and broccoli were cooked perfectly, with a slight crunch. My wife ordered the snapper with truffle risotto. The snapper was flaky and moist, and the truffle risotto was rich and flavorful. We were both very impressed with our meals. The food was delicious, and the presentation was excellent. The atmosphere at Sambuca is also very nice. The restaurant is elegant and sophisticated, but not stuffy. It's the perfect place for a special occasion dinner or a romantic evening out. The service at Sambuca was also excellent. Our server, Michael, was attentive and knowledgeable, and he made sure that we had everything we needed. We returned to Sambuca after the show for dessert. We ordered the tiramisu and the chocolate lava cake. The tiramisu was light and airy, with a rich coffee flavor. The chocolate lava cake was warm and gooey, with a delicious chocolate center. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience at Sambuca. The food, atmosphere, and service were all excellent. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and memorable dining experience in Houston.

I went here for the first time for my birthday, I ordered the shrimp and crab dip. My food was good and everyone else in my party like their food as well, the band was great, the drinks were really good but the service was horrible. It took our waiter maybe 20+ minutes just to come to the table, 30+ minutes to take our order, 20+ minutes to bring our drinks and another 30+ to get the food. We only saw the waiter twice the entire time, the waiter working with the table across from ours assisted us way more (the tip should have went to him).

For this being my first time here, I enjoyed it. The food was good and so was the mocktail. We went on a Saturday night for the live music. If you haven't been, I'll save you the surprise that we had, they add a $5 cover charge to your bill. I was not happy about that. It would have been nice to know that up front.

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 Mandi Powell and she has very a beautiful voice. If you're in Houston, you have to stop by! Valet parking is available

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and it was phenomenal!! Emmett and Saterra were wonderful. The hostess made sure we had a great table and she lit candles and everything!! The food was great! The dessert was amazing! My husband said that was the best Old Fashion he’s ever had! The live jazz band made the evening even better! We’re definitely coming back!
