I had a good experience at Via Brasil. I heard good things about this place so I called on Saturday to ask questions about the menu, pricing etc. The girl was very friendly and convinced me to swing down. The friendly hostess greeted me when I arrived. She remembered talking to me on the phone. She promptly sat me and said that someone will be with me in a minute. A few seconds later I was greeted by another staff member who explained how things worked. She didn't leave me the little red/green card however. Finally after getting a replacement card, I turned it green. Within seconds, food started getting delivered to my table. Unfortunately, there was a few times, my table was passed by even though the card was flipped to green. The rest of the staff was attentive to my needs by refilling drinks, getting replacement silverware, etc.
I was not impressed with the salad bar. The meat on the other hand was delicious!
It's unclear as to what the lunch pricing is. I was told $25. Then I was told $19.99. Then was told the price is going back to $25. There should be some consistent pricing. I was also charged $4.50 for a Coke. That's higher than what other places charge-even though you are offered free refills.
I would like to try this place for dinner. There are more meats added to the dinner menu and I would like to try them out.
I rate this place 3 1/2 stars.
