| - I came here a few years back since I had never gone to a Brazilian steakhouse. The short of it is that the food is decent, but the service is terrible.
My friends and I visited as part of "Restaurant Week." They have many servers who bring meat and slice it onto your plate, and you have the option to try many of their side dishes while you wait. Their garlic mashed potatoes were delicious, but I don't remember anything else that stood out much, so I can only remember it not being stellar. The meat was okay... if you can get it. The food quality is probably akin to a mid-level steakhouse. The service is another story. I can understand that they are extremely busy with serving all the people there, and that they can only bring specific meats every so often, but we were often left with nothing on our plates.
When they did come around with the skewers, it was usually something that was not particular popular that night and hence something we were not particularly interested in. Most of the time we would still eat it, mostly because we were too hungry to wait for the favorites such as the tenderloin and flank steak. The frustrating part was not just that we did not get any food, but they often just flat out walked past us instead. We had the unfortunate luck of being seated next to three young pretty girls, so when the waiter even came within the vicinity of our table, they ignored us and walked to the table next to us instead. I told my friends they needed to wear lower-cut shirts, so my advice to you would be to go with an excess of gorgeous girls if you want to eat any meat.
After spending two hours sitting around, most of us were still somewhat hungry. Finally, around 30 minutes before they were about to close and with the restaurant clearing out, they finally realized we were sitting there waiting. Suddenly I found a pile of 3 steaks on my plate, since the waiter saw we were maybe one of five tables left still eating. The food was good, but it was really not worth the hassle.
Overall I give the food three stars and the service two stars. Maybe if I had bothered to go back again, the service would have been better.
