I think the prices were higher at Samba room. One thing I didn't like was the volume of the music, plus the rhythmically-challenged waitstaff were trying to play tambourine along with the music (picture a 4 year old with his drum set the first day he got it). The mojitos were uneven, the first was way too sweet, the 2nd was sour, both were a pain to drink (no pun intended) because of the damn sugar cane stalk stuck in the glass. Maybe it would be better if it wasn't supposed to be a restaurant, too? I was only there once (opening night) so things may have calmed the hell down :-) Craig
