| - This was my first experience at at Brazillian Steakhouse. So let me paint this depiction for you:
The lighting of the restaurant was just a little too dark for me. I understand that they were setting the mood and ambiance, but I generally don't enjoy eating in the dark.
The salad bar had choices that were a hit with me. The grilled artichokes warmed my heart in a way that no other cardoon can. I also tried the spinach with yellow peppers, which I was equally elated to try. I am a lover of cheeses but I was disappointed in the cheese variety that they offered. I thought that the lettuce leaves were a little to big for me to bite into and enjoy as a salad.
I didn't know that the meat would be served my way in a smorgasbord. Young people walking around with skewered lamb, assortments of steak, chicken, and fish. They approached me and asked "Ribeye, ma'am?" I eagerly nodded my head, grabbed the small tongues, and proceeded to grab my fatty filet. That steak was amazing which made me want more of the meats! I indulged in the salmon, lamb, and chicken. The chicken was absolutely dry! Maybe I waited too late to enjoy the chicken. Who knows?
During my dining, I enjoyed a few cocktails. I was disappointed that the Merlot selection was null. Blackstone is my favorite and they didn't carry it. I was happy to hear the cognac selection. Louis XIII is on the menu!
The cheesecake could have possibly been delectable, but the alcohol tainted my taste buds. I couldn't enjoy the dessert since I had been drinking
I would go to Chima again...principally for those grilled artichokes!
