| - The important detail in this review is this: when you are seated, they give you a device that has a red block on one end and a green block on the other. I am Mrs. Red Block and my husband is Mr. Green Block. You will soon understand why this is important, and why I've given Rodizio three stars, while my husband may give them four or more.
Mrs. Red: I eat very slowly, and fill up rather quickly. Therefore, this restaurant is my worst nightmare. When the green block is up, one gaucho after another came to our table with their meat skewers, ready to carve off meat for us to try. This is supposed to be a good thing, but for me it was overwhelming. I would barely have taken a bite or two when more food would show up. I wanted to try various things, so I would take a sample. But then I would regret that choice as I started to fill up and couldn't eat all that I had taken. I hate to waste food! I also had foolishly put salad, a roll and a few small bits of potato on my other plate prior to the meat brigade. It was too much food for me. I always hate having my mouth full when a server walks up, and this happened continuously. So if you are like me, this is not a good place for you. That being said, the service was great! The salad bar and sides area were pretty good, and the meat seemed to be good quality. However, sometimes the meat is overcooked, which we figured out depended on whether you got first dibs at the skewer, or if the skewer had already gone back a few times. My favorite item of all was the grilled pineapple - completely delicious!
Handy tip: If you sign up for their eClub, you will receive a buy one, get one free deal for your birthday. ($30 value) Plus, they bring you a bit of delicious flan with a candle and sing a rousing Portuguese birthday ditty. (Nothing like that obnoxious Red Robin one!)
Mr. Green: My husband eats fairly quickly and has a healthy appetite, Plus, he is not picky in the slightest. He was loving the fact that the gauchos come by so often, and was always raring to get a new meat on his plate. When I begged him to turn the block to red so I could catch up, I know he was bummed. He was constantly on the lookout for a new type of meat in the vicinity so he could turn the block back to green. He enjoyed the meal, and just agreed that sometimes the meat would be little dry.
Final words: if you are a Green type of eater, go with another Green. If you are a Red like me, take another Red. That way, no one at your table is disappointed by either the lack of or the excess of food. If my star rating here was based solely on the food, I would have given Rodizio four stars. They provide a great Brazilian steakhouse experience.
