We went to Yerba Buena thinking we were going to Samba-Le which we are guessing no longer exists. What a wonderful surprise!! This restaurant is a real gem! The decor is spot on.. its clean without looking sterile and is wonderfully comfortable and full of latin soul! The food was great! We can recommend the empanadas to start and if you want a really decent sized appetizer go for the calamari! Both of our mains were great! I had the steak which was pretty much as good as you get at Les Halles! My fiance loved his seafood dish too (I'm not much of a seafood eater so can't comment as enthusiastically - sorry!). We also ordered a side of Palmito Fries. YOU MUST TRY THEM! They were superb! I love palmito and eat it all the time so I was a little apprehensive about trying it breaded and fried.. but oh my gosh.. it was so delicious!
Pros: The staff! They get an A+!
Cons: There is only one unisex toilet which although is kept clean is a little small.
