| - Family dinner celebration here last night - Dad's pick after sharing many stories of his travels to Brazil many years ago.
We arrived at 5 pm, and though the restaurant was not full (as expected, but we eat early!), we got a table (though were advised to make a reservation - with 2 hour seatings, we'll do that next time for sure!). Happy to get a great table, our friendly waiter explained how things work - salad/apps and side buffet, and the go/stop cards for the meat. SO MUCH STEAK! Needless to say, I was a happy camper. I loved the thin steak best, though the filet with bacon (of course) and garlic steak (SO garlicky, but that just makes its better) were also hits. The grilled pineapple recommended by others is excellent, with cinnamon. If there's something you're waiting for, we mentioned it to one of the servers and they sent them our way (filet with bacon... again please!). They kept a good pace with servings, and were friendly. The cheesy bread and fried bananas were a nice way to end the meal. Oh, they just got a new wine list on an iPad, and though ours had some technical glitches, we were pleased with a bottle of white ($38, not bad). While not a cheap night out ($45/person), it was the perfect thing for a celebration. The decor is super nice, not stuffy but modern and stylish. They also have a patio, though we didn't try it (yet!).
