| - All-you-can-eat grilled meat for ~$50 including tip, without dessert or drinks. I've been to a few Brazilian steakhouses in several big cities. The experience at a Brazilian steakhouse is always amazing, but compared to the other places I've been to, I would say that Brasa is average.
Meat choices range from chicken legs and pork sausages to various cuts of steak. I thought the leg of lamb was particularly good. Lamb served in cheaper restaurants often has a gamy taste, which often keeps me from ordering it. The leg of lamb at Brasa was seasoned and cooked well enough for me not to notice any gamy taste. In terms of steak, you have your choice between cuts of filet mignon, flank steak, and sirloin. I feel that I've had higher quality cuts of beef at other Brazilian steakhouses.
There could also be some improvement in terms of the salad bar and side dishes. While the fried plantains were good, they were accompanied with french fries. At other Brazilian steakhouses, I've had other more authentic sides to go with the meat. The bread served was mediocre. I thought the salad bar could have had more variety, considering that you can have the salad bar only for a slightly lower price. On a positive note, there are quite a few seafood entrees available in the "buffet area", including an abundance of crab legs, stuffed mussels, and cocktail shrimp.
All in all, if you've been to another Brazilian steakhouse before, you may not be wowed. The experience will still be enjoyable though. If you haven't been to a Brazilian steakhouse and love meat, you will definitely have a good time.
