Those who have reviewed this place have it spot on. You either love this place or you hate it. We came here for a friends birthday party. It cost her 500.00 to reserve a section for our party. What was worse was that they told her on her birthday weekend that someone bought out the place for the Ducks vs Buckeye party... So she had to push it out another week, which just to me is insane that someone would do that. but I guess $$$ are all that they care about. Their food looks great, but bland and ridiculously overpriced. Not only was the food horrible, the drinks were super weak. We ask our waitress to make it a double or a triple and she was confused and said it was over the limit Seriously?!?!? 200+ bill for two people that was absolute crap. Save that money and go to some place that actually serves quality food and will check up on you to see how your experience was like Eddie V's or Nick and Sam's.. This place is a total rip off. read more

This review is purely based on their nightclub alter ego. I don't know where to start. The roped off entrance and doorman is amusing.People aren't clamoring to come in, just let people walk in- there's plenty of space for everyone. $10 cover charge. Huh? In Plano? Ok, at least there was a cover band, who was actually pretty decent and entertaining. I'll say I paid the $10 to see a fun show. The crowd. Definitely an older crowd. 80-90% of the crowd I would say were in their high 30's to 50's. Cougars abound. Lots of older dudes also, seeking their prey (what's the version of a male cougar? creeper?) Then you have some younger people sprinkled in for good measure. Some girl kicked me in the back of the leg because I didn't want to hit the dance floor with her. Really?!??! It was all just so odd. I do give them this however, you won't feel like you'll get shanked or anything here, seeing as its in Plano. You may get lightly assaulted if you reject the wrong woman, but hey, those things happen. One other observation, I think some of the staff were taking photos and videos of a bachelorette group that was there...I found that to be a little odd. To get past all this, drinks were needed. $8 bucks a drink I think, standard fare I guess. Drinks weren't terrible, but I had already downed a few drinks before coming here, so I'm not so certain. After trying to drink away the pain, I have to go to the restroom. There's a line for the men's while the women's is non-existent. Why? Turns out, all but one urinal is clogged and busted. HOW DOES ONE CLOG A URINAL. ITS MADE FOR PEE ONLY. So, yes, that was a delightful experience. After that fiasco, I had to leave. Sam Buca 360, you were very entertaining,but only for one night. read more

From out of country and got auto-gratuitied 20% on my bill only to find out later in the night. I've worked in service and know what this is. Our server should focus on doing his job better instead of wringing foreigners dollars at a time. Stuff like this will keep me far from the industry, and further away from this place in particular. read more

I did not try their food, the service was okay and the music was good. Live music is my favorite things about any place.

This place is so pretentious. During a pandemic, not a single employee as wearing a mask or gloves. A bartender was touching the mouth of a beer with her hands and then handing it over. We got judgmental looks because we walked in wearing our masks. There's a total disregard of their customers and the community. read more

we came here at 1:40am and they were closing... (i thought they close at 2?) i asked if i could just give them a tip for my friend to pee. all the male employees inside said we need to show our tits to get in. :-) thanks for not respecting women! read more

Stopped by here with my mom and partner. They had an awesome band playing and we turned up all night. Great local spots if you want to get out and enjoy live music and great ambiance. The drinks was okay and we had a Great server who was very tentative in a crowded Friday before Christmas holiday. read more

Sambuca 360 - American Near Me - Plano, Texas

This place is awesome!!! They supported Plano Fire-Rescue Associates with dinnertime snacks for Citizens Fire Academy. Wonderful for event catering, so nice to work with too. Y'all are the BEST, thank you!! read more

This is known for Fun with live music that never fails to get a crowd up on their feet dancing and having FUN. However, their fine dining is a best kept secret! Their chef is amazing and very accommodating to allergies. Each course was even better than the last, cooked to perfection. The staff is warm, sassy and attentive. It is such a fun vibe to experience this quality of food eating in a night club atmosphere. Save room because their chocolate sopapillas are to die for!!!! read more

I had to remove one star because they have cover. I don't go out much and this is one of the main reasons. At least let ladies in for free! I went with a group of girls, and we got drinks bought for us, so you are already getting your profit there! Well anyways, music was great here. The drinks were average priced for the location, but delicious. This place does get packed though so keep that in mind. I was really hot in there...I am not being full of myself lol....there were a lot of people and I felt like I just finished running a half marathon. Lastly, the bouncer helped my friends and I back to my car since we were a little tipsy...and I also forgot my credit card here and they held it for me! Great customer service! read more

My friend recommended this place and we were in Plano,TX together. I trusted him and we checked it out. We had a table reserved for us(reservations are recommended) and we had great views of the stage. We loved the live band there. They were fun to listen to and we definitely danced that night. We received very good service and good drinks. It's definitely a good place to dance,drink and eat if you are near by. I plan on taking my girlfriend there the next time I'm in Plano,TX.You will have a great time. read more

Full Disclosure: I came here because a friend wanted to spend her birthday dancing so I didn't experience any of the dining... Despite the place being crowded, it wasn't "packed"...in other words the bartenders were inattentive. There isn't much in terms of "nice things" that I can say about this place, so I'll leave one parting comment: it's not all bad, but it's not for me; visit at your own risk! read more

Really good apps here, the music isn't my kind of music (90s-2000s hip mixes) but nice atmosphere overall.

I've had girls night here a view times and it's hit or miss. The bartenders have their regulars so sometimes it takes forever to get a drink. The music is always super old, but it can still be a good time. The bands they have play usually play the same type of genre so it's predictable. The crowd ranges from early 20s to early 50s so it's definitely an experience! I'll probably go back. read more

I went here last night. The music was too loud and the server was unwilling to take the order. After flagging him down 4-5 times. He got our drink order, and when we were ready to order the food on the same time, he walked away saying, "I'll get the drinks first" It took another 25 mins to order food and 40 to get it. Just bad experience. read more

I want to thank Sambuca for returning me into my SuperStar status I once was pre-government shut down. Thank you for bringing Vegas Stars in to perform, AND letting me dance. It was nothing short than epic. I even appreciate you kicking me out. That was smart, and because of your actions I am less hungover today. I feel amazing. So thrilled to have had a night out, with music and dancing, and back to the status I once was in 2019. Cheers! read more

Came with my girlfriend for happy hour before going to see a movie across the street. We got here about 5 pm and we were one of the few people there. All the snacks, desserts and drinks were half price. We had the shrimp ceviche and it was OK. Could have used a little more seasoning. The Sweet & Spicy Chicken Taco Minis and Jalapeno Poppers were very good. We would have ordered more food if we didn't run out of time. We were disappointed that they didn't have the white chocolate cheesecake so we had to settle for the mixed berry cobbler. Good but nothing extra ordinary. My girlfriend loved the Spicy Blueberry Margarita while I like my Chocolate Martini. Overall, it was a good experience. read more

I went there on a Thursday night. First of all, the staff is exceptional welcoming and attuned. Great service, which made us feel like a VIP guests. Great atmosphere, live music, dancing, laugh, and great energy! The food was 'out of this world'! Fresh, perfectly cooked, and savory! I enjoyed a glass of wine while my friend had a cocktail! Everything we needed was provided with a smile, awesome vibes, and minimum waiting time! It was a night to remember!!!! Defiantly a must to visit- especially in during the weekend! read more

Food is great, however the Catering Manager and wait staff have a bad attitude. On April 27, 2013 I called Sambuca 360 to schedule a birthday dinner for 15 people on May 8th at 5:30 pm. I believe I spoke with the hostess working at the time. She took down my name, number, and details, and answered questions I had regarding the band that would be playing on my Birthday. She asked if I'd like to talk to the catering manager, and I said "no Thank you!" She then told me to call back if there were any changes. There were no changes. Ironically enough, I had a bad customer service experience that delayed me and a few others in my birthday party the day of May 8th. A coworker of mine called me around 5:45 to tell me she was there. I had not yet made it. I told her to tell the hostess the reservation was under "Davis". She called back within 5 min and said there was no reservation. I told her to try my name Beryl or "Cheryl" or "Darrell". People tend to mess up my name. Still, no reservation. I asked to talk to the hostess working at the time. She insisted there was no reservation and offered to have me talk to the catering manager. The catering manager checked the books and also said I had no reservation. I insisted that I called and tried to recall the details from Apr 27th. At this point, I was flustered at the lack of details captured for my reservation. The manager then said, "what time was your reservation for?" I responded "5:30 pm". She then scoffed and said, "Here it is now 6 and your first guest is just now arriving? You would have lost your reservation anyway!" At this point, I detected major attitude. I then said "ma'am, you will not! I just dealt with horrible customer service! It's my birthday, and you will not talk to me like that!" She then said "Well, you're talking to me with attitude!" I said, "I apologize, however I have every right to be irritated. You all did not schedule my reservation!" She then says "Well ma'am, I was just about to tell you we have room! Do you still want to come?" I said "yes" She then said "okay, for 15? yes Will you be having dessert? yes oh, you know that's a $30 service fee!" It was as though, she made the comment to take a jab at me. This was yet another detail not captured on the 27th. When I arrived, we were seated, and I immediately asked for the manager. My sister, seeing that I was not in the best temperament, offered to speak to her on my behalf. When my sister went to talk to her, she was conveniently busy. One manager was "on a conference call" and the other one was "training". As dinner progressed, I noticed a woman with long wavy brown hair, who seemed to be avoiding our table and was dressed as though she was a manager. I asked the waiter to talk with a manager. Conveniently, a MALE manager came to assist. I explained how I had been treated, and he apologized and agreed the behavior was unacceptable. He then waived the "dessert fee" and said he would talk to her and file a complaint on my behalf with the owners. I am not sure whether or not he did so, therefore I am doing my due diligence to report this unacceptable behavior. It was completely uncalled for. There was hardly any business that night. Any employee should have graciously accepted a party of 15 on a slow Wednesday night. In addition, several people in my party complained about the service from the waitress. She apparently did not know all items on the menu and I caught her make a snippy comment while serving cake. I truly hope the attitudes are adjusted and improve before they drive away loyal clientele. read more

Wow!! Absolutely horrible how I paid for the cover and then they won't let me in again because it's after midnight. This is a horrible place. Cops outside and acting so pompous!! Y'all don't even try to go here, I mean unless you're into being treated like a half ass. read more

This place may get a bad rap, but they are really kind to neighbours! They are willing to go the extra mile on service and have a friendly staff. Clint in the kitchen and Sarah their catering manager always come through with delicious dishes and after work give us excellent service! Their tuna street tacos are heaven! I am grateful for a great neighbourhood! read more

Excellent service and food! Mr. Tommy Hall, Heather, Anna, Zeek, the other waiters, bar staff, cooks, prep staff and everyone that had anything to do with our large dinner party on Tuesday, 5/2 for the Pepsi group, you all did a fantastic job! The food was amazing, tasty, drinks were great and all the service was just really amazing. The food was hot too! The event was a huge success, thanks. read more

I love happy hour! The drinks and food are delicious! Invite a friend and enjoy yourselves!

I came for a girlfriends meetup. It was a really cool vibe. The host, Kim, was friendly and welcoming to all. They gave each of the girls a free drink ticket which was good for house cocktails, wine, and beer. There was also an appetizer table set up. I got there pretty late so I wasn't able to sample it while it was hot. I did end up ordering food, which was good, but still not filling enough. I ordered a mimosa, a house wine, and a margarita. The margarita was by far the best and strongest drink. I did not like that every time it was slow at the bar, the bartender pulled out her phone and began texting. I tried going to the other bar with male bartenders, hoping to get better service from a male bartender. I stood there for what felt like 10 minutes before the young guy behind the bar finally acknowledged me. That was a little frustrating so I definitely did not tip 20%. The coolest part about this bar is that the bar is right at the bottom of the stage in a semi circle, and the lighting is really cool. I didn't realize that Thurs night was country night. I don't really care for country music, but the vibe was cool and I met some really great girls. Later we all walked to a Salsa club nearby and danced to some phenomenal music. read more

An overpriced spot that should be on a college campus not in the Shops of Legacy! I will make this quick. We went to Sambuca to meet up with friends. The singers in the band sang songs off key, but the trombone and sax player were the only ones that made me tap my foot(They were very good! Walking down and dancing with the crowd). The drinks were overpriced and very weak. I ordered a marinara pizza and it came out burnt. If it didn't take forever to get my pizza I would have sent it back. Needless to say, I am not going back there. read more

Great food, great drinks, and great service! what more is there to say? The appetizers were portioned and fulfilling for three people they are delicious!! Try the Cauliflower and shrimp/lobster dipppp. read more

I would say the good thing about this place is their location, and they occasionally book pretty good musical artists. That's about it. Their food is below average, bland, and overpriced. Service is incredibly slow. Sambuca (Plano Location) is a OK please to listen to local artist,but stick to Addison for a great night life on a Friday. Or even Deep Ellum. Honestly, I should've read all the other yelp reviews before spending a dime at this place. read more

When we walk in, the host asked for our driver's licenses and then informed us that we could make ourselves comfortable anywhere. The dining area is quite expansive with booths aligning the walls and center of the room. We took a seat at a cozy booth/table and were immediately served water. Our server came by not too long after for drink orders. She's a darling, too bad she didn't give us her name. Too bad I didn't see Sambuca 360 on the restaurant week list or else we would have indulged in that. Nonetheless, we still ordered a good amount of food and drinks. Small Plates: Ceviche - absolutely delicious; the right amount of citrus, cilantro, and onions but preferred a little more heat from the jalapenos Shrimp & Crab Dip - lumps of shrimp and crab scooped by salted crispy tortilla chips... yum! 360 Plates: Lobster Enchiladas - the lobster enchiladas had a wonderful, creamy taste along with the cilantro lime rice but I wouldn't pay $28 for them again (additional $3 for split entrees; we didn't see that anywhere on the menu, not even on the online menu) Happy Endings: Cheesecake Sopapilla - the cheesecake was mediocre and the sopapilla crust wasn't flaky Berry Cobbler Streusal - the cobbler was filled with different berries and full of taste; the vanilla bean ice cream was a delightful topping Shakin' It Up Dragon Berry - frozen drink that's extremely sweet; great tasting (can't taste the alcohol) but too sweet for my preference Coconut Mojito - a wonderful concoction; refreshing, thirst quenching, and savory We will definitely have to visit again especially during "rush hour" ($4 off appetizers, $3 off glasses of wines and wells), which are weekdays 4:30-6:30. We were disappointed by the false advertisement on the menu (apparently, they went through a change and didn't update the menus) because it had specials all day Sundays. When we go the bill, we were charged full prices. Other than that, the experience was tremendous. read more

My last visit to Sambuca was super underwhelming. I've only had food here one other time, during a not so busy time and it was okay. I last visited Sambuca for a birthday dinner and I ordered the Shrimp and Crab pasta for dinner. It was poorly prepared, dry, and cold when it arrived. I was really hungry, so I asked the waiter to just bring some extra Alfredo sauce and salt and pepper and i'd eat it anyway... long story less long, I never got the Alfredo sauce and i ate cold pasta and paid $30 for it, along with drinks and gratuity. Not impressive at all. Other than that... the live music was great! read more

Awesome place, great music and this atmosphere oh my!!! It was my first time at this place at it became my favorite from the first moment I came. Starting with security and all bartender girls were so nice and friendly. We had a very great time with friends. To conclude I love this place now. read more

The place seemed really busy. A private event (post-Christmas Christmas party was taking place) was happening. The entertainer was good. The place was LOUD. If you want to actually converse with whomever you are there with, forget it. It has very modern stone / steel / glass finishes everywhere that reflect sound and contribute to the amplification of noise. Drinks were good. They brought refills seemingly without asking, but happy to charge. Food was great. The chicken-fried ribeye was awesome. Only negative was that I could have used a bit more gravy. Staff was training, but the guy being shadowed was experienced and adept. Primary detriment was the noise. read more

This bar has a great atmosphere and a setup that provides the options to either just hangout, party as a group or couple, or go to meet new people. The band that played was exceptional and put a lively twist on many favorite cover songs that would appeal to a relatively wide audience. The trendy surroundings offer an area for dancing, intimate booth seating, and the social bar setting; so just about anyone can find their comfort zone here. Casual-chic attire would be the best choice, come with the expectation to enjoy good music in an upscale but relaxed setting. read more

Sambuca 360 - Jack & Coke with matching bar... - American Near Me - Plano, Texas

We figured based on the crowd for the live music that the food would be good. I can admit when I am wrong and yep, I was so so so wrong. The Salmon was extremely fishy, it did not taste even close to fresh. I ordered the ribeye, always order medium rare. It arrived well done, the manager tried to argue and say that the tiny bit of pink dead center which was about a quarter sized in width meant it was medium rare. After arguing we the manager we just paid our bill and left. Ended up heading to "The Keeper", had an amazing meal there. Avoid this place and the terrible manager at all cost! Oh, and if blatant racism by management isn't for you then that's another reason to avoid this place. read more

We usually love this place, but Friday, July 16 it was Sweltering hot inside. Air flow was non-existent. Please fix.

We went for happy hour and dinner on a week night at 6:30. The place was not yet crowded. Had the Sambuca 75 cocktail which was very tart but good. Their lemon drop martini was great. Service was very attentive but not hovering. We had the shrimp dip and chips to start. The dip was very tasty. My companion had the chicken fried rib eye, which they liked but the mashed potatoes could have been warmer. I had the salmon and it was so good. Loved the live music. The GM Tommy stopped by to introduce himself. He was so friendly! We lingered to listen to the performer and never felt rushed. Tables are spaced apart nicely. Restaurant and restroom was very clean. The chocolate toffee torte was delish! We will be back soon. Easy, free garage parking nearby. read more

This place is just great for the live music and dancing, nothing great on the margaritas and cocktails. Shout out on Lexi, for the good service. read more

This place is awful! They clearly do not know how to keep their customers happy- they will over crowd the place and then "kick out" people due to their "over capacity". Will never go here again! read more

Well I wish I have had a better experience. Service was slow but friendly. I ordered the gyro w/ the side of chips. Asked for extra tzatziki sauce. When my order came out there were no chips but there was a greek salad that was good. However there was no tzatzki sauce. A manager came out and explained that when they opened the jar of tzatziki sauce it was about to go bad. Therefore the sauce is not fresh if it comes from a jar. My friends ordered the turkey brie and the club sandwich and they enjoyed it. I went to the restroom and it was filthy! Dust in the vents on the ceiling. The mirrored stalls were dirty and had streaks all over them. The glass doors going out to the patio we dirty also. And the stage still had empty glasses strewn about at 1 in the afternoon from the night before. Sambuca manager did comp my meal but it's too late as I will not be going back. read more

I would give NO STARS but have to in order to put a review........ Went there for the first time ever to watch live band and dance with my husband. Since there was no seating we stood at the bar and had a couple of drinks. While waiting for the band, (every time we had to ask for a drink and we were not attended to) a bar back and a women bartender decided to do a gunshot with red bull. When they punctured the can it splashed all over myself and went into my husbands eye. He informed the guy that this happened and the dude blew him off, so my husband took a bunched up napkin and threw it at him and asked how do you like it. Dude went and told security. Next thing you know we are being asked to leave. My husband asked why and told security the situation and how unprofessional that was, even told him his eye was res as you could clearly see it was. They didn't care and said they needed to protect their employees! So your paying customers that were the victims don't matter? I am lost for words about how unprofessional this place is and handles situations! They even called the police because we asked to see a manager which they refused and still kicked us out! Do not go here, they are just looking to take you're money. We were only there for maybe 30 minutes, had 2 drinks only and paid over $30 to get in! I will never go here ever again!!!! read more

All I can say is WTF. Is it a club or a restaurant? We ordered food at the bar because they have no patio service. Luckily someone was able to bring the food, but it was not good. I guess they don't specialize in food. I don't get it and I won't be back. read more
