| - We were lured back with a Groupon ... And took what we learned from our first visit to demand a table in the main dining room - it made all the difference! It was rodizio as we remember it should be. Bravo Brasa!
We arrived on time for our reservations, but had to wait about 15 minutes as the host accommodated our request for a table for 2 in the Big Group area. He seemed very reluctant to put us there - but we held firm. We were seated next to a huge column, but it was worth it since we were here for the meat, not a 360 view of the dining room.
The table was about 30% bigger than the first visit - sounds strange, but it makes a huge difference when you don't feel everything is crammed on the table.
Service was friendly, energetic and CONSTANT ... No lulls in drink service, water refills or, most importantly, meat delivery. The gauchos were on top of their game - meat choices arrived with a smile, clearly stating what cut they were offering and cutting to your selected doneness. Everything was hot and when you noted your favorites, they made a point of returning with a smile and a fresh, hot skewer of wonderfully flavorful meat.
The vibe in The Big Room is jovial - people enjoying the meal and one another. Such a change for the 'date room' where couples are crammed into tiny tables and have long lulls spent longinly looking for the next gaucho to arrive. I REALLY recommend - for any size party - demand to sit in the main dining room - it's a completely different - and much better - experience.
