| - We went to this restaurant for a 7:00 dinner during Restaurant Week. This was the first time I'd ever been to a Brazilian churrascaria, and maybe I'm just easily impressed, but I LOVED this place.
We probably had to wait 5-10 minutes to be seated even though we had a reservation. It seemed like the restaurant is understaffed, as there was only one host and a manager was running around trying to help her out. It then took a good few minutes for one of the servers to take our drink order, but after that everything picked up in speed.
The website indicates the dress code is business or smart casual, but I saw a few dudes there in Harley tees, so it seems like basically anything goes. My husband and I were dressed in nice jeans and a blazer and a more casual dress, respectively, and didn't feel out of place.
I was kind of preparing to be disappointed with the meal, to be honest. Reading the selection of meats that are unlimited in your experience, I thought it was going to be a too good to be true situation.
It wasn't. Everything was delicious.
They serve all red meat medium rare, and being someone who usually orders meat cooked medium well, I was a little hesitant. I shouldn't have been. If you like your meat well done, tell the server and they will cut it from the outside, where it is cooked more thoroughly. I didn't bother requesting this though because I found that most of the meat was only a bit pinker that I am normally used to, but I enjoyed it just the same. The fillets were all cooked medium to medium well and are juicy but not bloody.
Yes, the meat is salty. I am a bit of a salt-a-holic, so it was just about perfect for me. That being said, by the end of the meal my lips did feel a little weird from eating all the salt!
My husband's favorite was the bacon wrapped fillet, I loved the house special, and our servers stopped by multiple times to ask if we wanted those cuts sent back over. As the staff mentions, any one of them is at your service. If you see any server, you can ask them for more plates, specific meats, drinks, water, dessert, even your check. They all work together and it seems to be a good system given the nature of the restaurant.
The salad bar looked delicious but I didn't take very much from it on this trip. I'm a red meat fan and was gearing up to a eat a lot of it, so I skipped things I would have otherwise enjoyed. Before coming to the restaurant, I couldn't imagine paying $25.00 just for the salad bar, but after seeing what it contains: sushi, salmon, greens, soup, rice, potatoes and your more standard salad items, I might just consider it.
We took our deserts to go--I was happy that the let us, some restaurants can be a bit strict during restaurant week promotions--key lime pie was awesome.
The meal was delicious, but if you eat the way we did, I can't imagine frequenting this place very often.
