We went to Sambuca for part of our engagement party. We had eaten elsewhere and went to Sambuca for drinks afterward. We stayed upstairs on the balcony and had a fantastic time. The drinks are expensive, period. You definitely wouldn't want to go here if you were planning on being out all night. However, it was perfect for what we had in mind and everyone (including out of town guests) enjoyed themselves. (The service was also impeccable)
