Sambuca - Dallas Uptown

We spent a very nice evening at Sambuca. The drinks were fabulous! The filet was very good. Drawback was the lobster tail. It was so salty it was inedible. Disappointing but we didn't send it back because we worked in the restaurant business and I am empathetic for the server. Music was great. However, we picked that night for a specific type of music (salsa) that was on the online calendar but it was a rock cover group. They were excellent but not the music we wanted to dance to. Overall very good. We dropped over $200. We will go back for another special occasion and for happy hour.

We felt like we were in a bar, not a restaurant. Sambuca's has an identity crisis...be a bar or a restaurant or separate your restaurant from the bar. It was soooo dark (including the terrible black walls! we couldn't read our menus or see our food once it arrived. The singer was wonderful but we were there to eat and have a business dinner not listen to music. The waiter was not very skilled or knowledgeable about the menu though he was nice. The food was just okay. I had the chicken which was extremely over-salted. Overall, too much money, too much noise, not enough light and not conducive for a professional dinner. It's a bar, not a restaurant and should be promoted as such.

Good food. Entertainment was awesome. Great old fashions and wine list

Great food and service. Very quiet and comfortable setting for a business lunch.

Love the peach mango martini, the music, the ribeye,
