The Scene
Sambuca is a throwback to a time when elegance was an everyday event. The cafe creates a luxurious atmosphere with plush seating and swinging music: jazz, blues, modern, world, straight ahead and vocals. The high, rounded ceiling in the dining room tops a chic interior, complete with luxurious banquettes and dim lighting. Tables on the main floor and banquettes along the back wall provide a good view of the featured musicians. A dramatic window provides the backdrop for the band playing sexy tunes from 7:30pm on.
The Draw
The impressive surroundings lend an air of class to a night of dining and drinking. After work, this is a prime people-watching spot for the Buckhead business crowd. For starters, try the stuffed beef tenderloin, a real crowd pleaser. The eclectic cuisine features everything from inventively seasoned seafood to Middle Eastern appetizers and thick cuts of red meat.
