| - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
I strongly recommend you have a meal here with friends. Great environment for eating, drinking and talking; great looking dining room, great service, good food, very attractive service staff (passadores, you know who you are), and most importantly, a surprisingly strong value. Ask for Nicholas; he will be sure to take good care of you.
THE DETAILS:
My first instinct was to write a review of the previous reviewer's review, which seemed to be fairly dominated by how Brazilian Grill didn't meet his personal expectations for what the restaurant should have been. This restaurant and I live in Las Vegas, a town that's cherished as often as it is whipped for its inauthenticity. So setting that aside, let me tell you what I thought about the place.
1) Great Value. The owner stepped up the game with an attractive dining room that felt upscale, but not self-conscious. Basic, tasteful design elements, not overdone, but combined with the very attentive service staff, when we got the check for our party of seven, that was less than HALF what I expected to have paid for the experience, (including tasty adult beverages) you can imagine I was pretty pleased.
2) Good Presentation. I guess you could ring up the place for doing MORE than is expected if you want to. A nice presentation of sauces (that you could choose to take, leave or hurl to the ground if it offend thee), the solid design aesthetic of the dining room (which could have been weaker at the cost per cover, but they did it anyway), and frankly, the attractive wait staff. Hey, I never said I was a saint; good looking staffers are a meaningful part of the experience.
3) Good Food. A solid delivery of both product and production talent. My friends and I were so pleased by the experience, we kept trying to find ways to upsell ourselves to increase the ticket. Was it the greatest barbeque I've ever had? No. Did it need to be? No. Did the entire experience exceed my expectations by a mile? Absolutely.
I strongly recommend you have a meal with friends at this restaurant.
BONUS COMMENTARY:
Our table's server was Nicholas; the "tall white guy with the goatee". Let me advocate on his behalf; he was excellent, as was the rest of our table service staff, and the guy at the bar. One man's cocky is another man's funny and helpful, so let me say that while our party of seven were under Nicholas' care, we wanted for nothing. Was he as good looking as the passadores? No. But still, 2 of 7 people at our table were willing to rate him, "adorable", and I'm pretty sure that 28% is a passing score in the CCSD these days. I think.
