| rev:text | 	Whew. Brasa was weird for me. 
I'm only a recently converted meat lover. For the longest time, I thought steak was a punishment. But now, I enjoy and often crave big juicy pink-in-the-middle steaks and burgers, though I still can't say I like pork. Everything else is fair game, though! 
But, still...even though I like meat now, I was thoroughly overwhelmed by Brasa. The "salad" bar was probably the most exciting part to me because I could assemble a random and snack-like dinner that included crab legs! The wonder! There's something to be said for the gigantic skewers of meat, though. But I'm not sure what that something really is. The meats were good, but I felt like the flavors and textures were mixing and I really couldn't appreciate one particular meat at a time. Like I said, overwhelming. 
I really think this is more of an experience than a meal. The lavishness of getting hunks of meat sliced onto your plate is something most people only imagine happening for Vikings or at Renaissance Fairs, so if you can go to dinner and have this happen, it's like a dream! If you're an extreme meat eater, then this could really be a good deal for you because you could get your money's worth of food, but I don't feel like I can eat that much! Also worth mentioning is the dim lighting. I was really surprised at how dark it was in here, which made all of the meat just look like darks hunks of food on my plate. I'm a bit of a visual eater and really could have used some more light to see what I was putting in my mouth. 
Really, if I come here again, I'll probably only go for the salad bar because I can really put away the mussels and crab. Oh, and those weird cheese bread balls in the baskets on the tables are AMAZING. So much cheesy goodness! |
