maybe it was the bad economy. maybe it was a style of food that people aren't super sure about. maybe it was the cost of overhauling an existing space and trying to create something new there. however, i think this next sign may be quite telling as to why samba tower closed:
hmm, violation of the alcoholic beverage control act, that doesn't sound good. it seems that the ownership group that tried "m", club m, samba tower just had too many strikes against them at this location. i know they were open for taste and toast of the tower, i wonder if that was the final blow against them?
and don't think i'm trying to talk crap on samba tower. i liked the place. i like brazilian bbq, and will go to the north fresno location again. it just seems like they could never drum up enough business in the tower.
