Shushi Samba Rio is a great place to take your girlfriend! Our host was very inviting, like he was glad we came, and suggested the loft for us. We took the elevator upstairs on a beautiful summer Thursday evening. The loft is very open with couch-like seating, and large, open windows. The bar upstairs is well-well stocked with interesting and unique spirits. We orded 2 specialty fusion rolls at about $15 a piece, and one standard California roll for a little cheaper. This might not be the best sushi in the world, and the fusion dishes won't please gourmet purists, but it was enjoyable at the least. She had a delicious mixed drink which was quite pricey at $9, but it was strong, and made with top-shelf rum (10 Cane). All in all, dinner was a great time, music was at a volume which was enjoyable, but allowed conversation. Good looking crowd...can't wait to bring friends there next time!
Pros: Service, atmosphere, drinks
Cons: The type of fusion sushi isn't for everybody, but it was for me!
