| - I bought a Groupon for their picanha dinner. Took my Brazilian friend to Braiseryy, expecting some form of haute cuisine, given the price of the Groupon. The first shock was the discovery that this is just your typical fast food place, except that it specializes in fried chicken rather than burgers. Everything chicken, deep fried. The name of the restaurant should have been a give-away, but I love picanha ... And I didn't check Yelp before I purchased, more fool me.
Requested the menu ... No picanha on there. When we asked, the guy said that's a different menu, and he doesn't have that menu here. Uh-huh!
The dinner, when it came, was passable. The meat was tougher than expected (picanha, done right, is melt-in-your-mouth delicious) ... Maybe just overcooked. The rice was fine, as were the roasted vegetables, but there wasn't much flavour to anything. Certainly nothing to justify the supposed pre-Groupon price. I couldn't eat the dessert, but my friend said it was good, so one star for that.
Save yourself the hassle of the Groupon ... If you go here, try their regular menu ... It's cheaper, and, hopefully, probably better (can you ever really go wrong with fried chicken?)
