Samba Grill

Directly across from the Nassau County courts is this buffet-style Brazilian eatery, which brings a bit of South American flair to the municipality.

From the buffet table comes an interesting array of such choices as bacalhau (cod fish with potatoes), fish stew (peixe ensopado) and oxtail (rabada). Several kinds of skewered meats are offered, among them chicken, turkey wrapped in bacon, pork loin, skirt steak and pork spare ribs. Everything is sold by the pound - $4.99 per pound for hot and cold buffet, salad bar plus barbecued meats or $6.99 per pound for barbecued meats alone.

For those who can't leave without something sweet, there are such Brazilian conclusions as flan and passion fruit mousse.
