| - This is the 3rd time I've been to Copacabana, and I'm still a big fan of it. Personally I really like that spits of meat are brought to you and then carved, over and over again. Beware though, one, this place is expensive (happy birthday to me) and two, better get a reservation if you want to come here on saturday or sunday, or else you'll be waiting.
One of the perks of coming here on a friday/saturday, is that there's always live entertainment. I guess you can kinda factor that into the cost. We personally heard a string duo (guitar and bass) which was awesome, and then there were these carnival costume wearing dancers that decided to dance around the restaurant. Kinda neat I guess (I found it really funny when guys would go up and take pictures with the girls). During the other times, there was a DJ spinning so the place kinda felt like a supper club.
As for the food, depending on the cut of meat, they will usually season and broil the outside of the meat, slice and serve it up, then take it back in to repeat the process. I found that if you want it rare (like I do), just let them know and they'll do their best. One thing I've noticed is that they did hold back the more "premium" items unless you asked for it. Personally I kinda wanted to try the suckling pig and shrimp, and I only got them when we asked for them. So suggestion is if you want it, just ask. They'll eventually bring it out to you.
As for the non-meat things. I can't really comment much on the salad bar, I didn't go. I did however LOVE their corn bread. It's AMAZING. I would probably eat it every day and be happy forever, it's that good. I don't care that it leaves your hands shiny as a mirror after holding it. That just means it's filled with goodness. Oh, and the cheese bread balls are pretty damn good too.
As for the amount of food, I can probably say that most people will be stuffed easily (even with the 2 hour time limit). Personally I would say it's best to come here with a smaller group, so the servers can come to you more often and you can get served a bit quicker. We came in a group of 17 and it took really long for a server to get from one end to another.
PS... one end of the table will steal all the pineapple and one end will not have any
=( What ever happened to sharing the anana? C'est Anana! Telefrancais!
