| - It gets three stars for friendly staff, the fact that it's a Brazilian steakhouse so the fun dining experience comes with that fact and they also have good live entertainment which does not interrupt your meal in an annoying manner.
But on the food front, this place probably would have got 2 stars. Brazilian steakhouse meat is salty by nature so I'm not going to rant too much about that. But from the actual look of the meat, the below par salad bar (in terms of awesomeness and presentation) to the fact that we kept getting non red meat come up in higher frequency than actual red meat (aka steak) really put this place off track for me. I also don't believe that we got served every single rack, but I could be easily mistaken as once you start eating, it's so easy to not care about what's being brought on to you.
There was one meat item that is stuffed in cheese or has cheese sauce over, which just looks like all sorts of wrong and I had no interest to eat it because a) it looks horrible and b) by the time it was first brought to our table, I was stuffed.
They had suckling pig which was a first for me, and despite my lack of love for pork, I did try it out but found out that that sort of texture was not my thing.
They had the heavenly cinnamon coated pineapple as well as cooked banana which are always a big hit with me.
In terms of the entertainment they had fairly attractive dancers that did their thing and then walked around for photo ops, that was fun and they were very friendly too.
If Toronto had a great Brazilian steakhouse, I would choose that over Copacabana, but until that happens I will stick with this although I won't be eagerly awaiting my return to Copacabana.
