| - My fiance, friend, and I came here on 04/25/2013 for a fundraising dinner benefiting Junior Achievement of Las Vegas. The experience and service was wonderful.
I really enjoyed the traditional Brazilian side dishes. Especially the Pão de Queijo (warm cheese bread), crispy hot polenta (basically polenta fries), and caramelized bananas. Their salad bar is wonderful! I enjoyed some aged Manchego cheese, Prosciutto, Artichoke Hearts, Smoked Salmon, Italian Salami, Asparagus, broccoli, etc. We tried almost all the different cuts of meat they offer. The Picanha (their signature steak, prime cut of top sirloin. ), Filet Mignon, Filet Mignon wrapped in Bacon, Linguica (sausage), Lombo (pork loin), Costela de Porco (pork ribs), Cordeiro (lamb chop), Alcatra (special cut of top sirloin), and Frango (chicken) wrapped in Bacon. For dessert, I got their Signature Papaya Cream.
I'm assuming because they were busy and overwhelmed, I was passed frequently even with the green side showing on my card. I had to flag down our server a couple times to ask him to bring specific cuts that we wanted. Gratefully, our server was awesome and very attentive. Anyway, I didn't really enjoy any of the cuts. Some were cooked more to my liking (medium rare to rare), but I received a lot of overdone and dry cuts (especially the chicken, blah) and the filet wrapped in bacon was disappointingly overdone as well. I know it's not made-to-order and "buffet" style, but I didn't enjoy the meat as much as I feel I should have and the green/red card was useless!
