It's about time a great fancy Brazilian restaurant came to the East Valley! WELCOME!!!
When we first arrived here at 4:40p.m., there was already a line waiting out the door. You could clearly tell that the owners & hostesses were overwhelmed and nervous. I had no idea they were only opened for just about a week and that was their first opening weekend. After putting in our names on the waiting list, we were seated in less than half an hour. The interior of the restaurant was definitely well decorated & has a comfortable outdoor seating areas for huge parties. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful. So were the staffs who brought over the meats one after another. My favorite was the fried bananas appetizer and grilled pineapples (I had at least 10 pieces of those). I know....I am supposed to be here for the meat. But boy those were absolutely delicious. For approximately $40 per person, you can have all you can eat salad bar (with huge selections) and unlimited amount of meat that comes around your table. Dessert and drinks are not included in this price. We had a crème Brule (and I forgot what the other one was). After we both ordered 2 sodas and 2 desserts, the bill came to less than $100 (including 20% tips). I thought that was very reasonable considering how much food we've eaten.
Some of the meats was a bit dry but still tasty. On the first week of their opening, I thought the overall experience I had was fantastic. I will definitely come back here again to dine in....and next time, we will certainly come back with a group of friends.
