  • I went to Touro with a group of five. We had a reservation for 7pm which got us to our table on time. The ambiance is very nice, modern, and kind of upscale. The service from the hostesses was great, but the wine menu was a little complicated to operate and ordering drinks also seemed like a slow, complicated process for the waitress, since it was done on a tablet. I have never been to a Brazilian steakhouse before, so I have no point of comparison, but when the gauchos would come out with the meat, it seemed that they would all come out at the same time and then disappear for 15-20 minutes. The meat is tasty (and the grilled pineapple is a nice touch), but after the servers had disappeared for 20 minutes, and we asked the waitress where they were, they all came out again with very undercooked, inedible meat, which was disappointing. The timing here can definitely be improved. One thing that was universally very disappointing was the side dish buffet. The salad bar was full of wilted salad greens and unappetizing toppings and dressings. The other side dishes included rice and beans which I am not a fan of, mediocre-looking soups and pasta salads, and very strangely, cooked salmon fillet, meatballs, and beef stroganoff. I'm not sure who would want any of these dishes as accompaniments to their grilled meats, but I think I went back to my table with a few pickled vegetables and some cheese, which was really disappointing. They would be better to axe the weird salmon, meatballs, and stroganoff, and replace the large array of unappealing pasta salads with more traditional BBQ accompaniments, like fresh french fries, creamy mashed potatoes, and a better, fresher salad mix. The desserts also weren't bad. We had the cake pops and mini cupcakes. The presentation is cute, but the cake pops did not taste very fresh and were kind of hard. The mini cupcakes were, however, good. They also bring you a stick of cotton candy with your bill, which is a nice touch. A nice experience, but overall, I would only recommend this place if the side-dishes were better. You will be taking a gamble on the timing and how the meat is cooked. Since the meat is pretty much the only thing worth coming here for, and since it winds up being quite pricey for just okay meat, I don't think I would choose to come back to Touro for dinner.
