| - Copacabana is just wonderful!
Like any good Brazilian steakhouse, you want to turn up hungry. Very hungry. Because you will eat more than you thought was humanly possible. But it's all good stuff.
The steak is all spectacular. Of particular note are the cheese infused steak, and the bacon wrapped filet mignon - with real bacon! None of this North American stuff! The cajun chicken is also really good. Make sure you mix it up with some cinnamon pineapple to keep your mouth from drying out.
If there's ever anything you don't manage to grab, the servers are more than willing to hunt it out and bring some your way. Always nice when you have a craving.
The self-serve side bar is really good as well. It is super hard not to fill up on cheesy bread and mashed potato. So good!
It is pretty pricey, but it's worth it given how much food you get, and the high quality of it.
There are two reasons I'm not giving them 5 stars. Firstly, both times I've been there I've had a reservation, and I've still had to wait 30 minutes for a table. Even on a Wednesday. I get that the meals take a little longer than at a normal full service restaurant, but they should have worked out the average sitting time by now.
Secondly, they give you massive spiel at the start of the meal about how your cards will determine whether the servers come to your table with more food, but then the waiters never follow it. We sat with our cards on red for 10 minutes, still being offered food. It was only when our plates were cleared that they stopped. Not a huge deal from my perspective, by why go to the effort of telling me it's the way to order if it's not really?
Overall, a great place to go for a fun night out with friends, or a celebratory dinner.
