As soon as we walked in we were greeted and asked if we wanted to check our coats. The dining area is styled very contemporary, nothing amazing really stood out except for the glass wall of wine. We were seated near the back of the restaurant which was a bit cramped. Our server was very nice and attentive for most of the night (I had already finished my first plate before we were able to get our drink orders in).
As far as rodizio-style restaurants go it fares well. I think it comes third in the salad bar options compared to its competition (Minhas and Goucho being first and second respectively). I found a few of the lettuce leaves wilting and browning a bit. They did have a good assortment of sauces for the meats (Chimichurri being one) but they failed to provide small sauce bowls and so you had to either bring your meats up to the salad bar or use one of the soup bowls.
The meats were good and on par with other rodizio restaurants in Calgary. The selection that Wednesday night was 11 different meats. I found a few to be a bit too salty and after dinner I had to chug about 3 glasses of water just to get the salty taste out of my mouth.
The desserts I'd have to say are excellent here. We tried the cheesecake and we were surely delighted. They used a digestive cookie crust (as opposed to graham crackers) which I didn't really taste the difference. The cheesecake itself was the star here. They also topped it off with a condense milk sauce. At $11 it was a bit pricey for a slice of cheesecake; shared between two people the price was easier to swallow.
It was a great dinner but I don't know if I'd return if I had to pay full price. We used a Groupon and so our entire dinner with tip, soft drinks (didn't feel like the house wine or beer that night), dessert and tax came out to $70. At that price, $35/person feels worth it. Had we not used a Groupon we would have spent well over $100. Special occasions or to impress a client is what I'd go back for.
