| - Service is 5 stars, value is 4 stars (compared to other Brazilian steakhouses, $30/person is a steal), and food is 3 stars.
The skewered meats (and grilled pineapple, yum) were all good, though the bacon wrapped chicken was a bit dry, but breast meat usually tends to be. Meat-wise, it was pretty much the same offerings as the other guys. However, I do believe their Brazilian sausages weren't fatty/greasy as others I've had.
The first fried bananas I got were soft and caramelized, absolutely perfect, but the ones I got later were not. The sole on their hot plate buffet was very tasty and moist & chicken stroganoff was especially good with the fried polenta. The cold and hot buffet offerings were limited, but I've always had issue with the ridiculous amounts offered at most of the other restaurants...because, hey, it's really all about the meat.
They were playing the musical tracks from karaoke songs as background music. Kinda cheesy. Pretty sure there is some kind of Brazilian music that could serve as better ambiance mood music and than this. The kicker was when one of the servers (pretty sure he had to be one of the owners, or something) cranked up the volume and sang, Stand By Me. His voice was good, with volume turned up a little too loud, so it was just cheesy cute...until he sang a 2nd & 3rd one. My partner and I had to speak loudly and lean in next to each other to be able to talk. Thankfully, we were finished and leaving when he started into another one.
Suggestion To Management: nix the cheesy karaoke tracks & performance(s), use a CD player, and play some real music if you don't want to turn customers off.
