SUSHISAMBA

For gluten free and dairy free options I was delighted. Started with the plantain chips then tuna ceviche with delicious pomegranate sauce finished with the Moqueca Mista in coconut sauce that really tasted.

Beautiful restaurant for a celiac with a gluten conscious menu available - and spontaneously supplied GF soy sauce which was a nice touch. However, not without a costly surprise for my friend. The waiter informed us that my ordering from the gluten conscious menu precluded my friend ordering from the prix fixe menu. It appears this an option only when the entire table orders from it. This is a requirement that was not disclosed when I called in advance to check and was assured that I'd be able to choose from the gluten conscious menu as my friend had already made a pre-theatre reservation and she had paid deposits. So do be aware if you have a diner with an allergy and your party is there for the the pre-theatre menu - the prix fixe is not an option! (And yes, we do have views on a policy that facilitates people with allergies at the cost of other diners!)

A really cool setting with well presented food and delicious flavour pairings. The key asset here are the staff. They were friendly, attentive and offered advice on food choices, all with a smile. The chefs are talented to produce such tasty food. However, the selection is limited for gluten-free and was certainly more tilted to the sushi side rather than the samba. Being Brazilian, we were hoping for more of an infusion but a quick preview of the menu beforehand does confirm this.
