| - We decided to spend a special occasion at Tuoro for a lovely evening. When we arrived, the hostess were able to accommodate us without a reservation, which was very gracious. Our server then provided us with direction on the green/red coasters and the appetizer station.
Appetizer Station: A fair assortment of steamed veggies, salads, calamari (awesome) gauc, meatballs and other appies. I trust one can get full in these alone, but we managed to hold off until the star of the show. Of note. The fruit assortments should be reviewed, as it were exclusively grapes and pineapple cubes. Make sure to take a few sauces for the meat!
Meats: Our favorites we're the chicken leg and short ribs. The other cuts we're generally overdone, some chewy lacking in flavour, others with fat and gristle. In truth, I think anyone would generally be impressed with the selection and amount of food, but after a few minutes of worldwind table service, we had to flip over those coasters.
For a Brazilian restaurant, the music selection seemed to favour salsa and merengue exclusively, without any of the dancing entertainment one would expect. For the price point, there was no entertainment nor was desert included in the menu. The guys wore traditional outfits, but seemed to be in your orbit and was a bit much, however that goes with this type of buffet. I would recommend that they consider providing coasters with pictures of the cuts, so you can flip the ones you want over, without the same being offered to you time and again.
As stated in all reviews and true to form, the pineapple is excellent, warm and cinnamony. However, at the end of the day a $50 price point is excessive, and I would say based in the quality and that dessert is not included, a maximum of $35 is more than reasonable. In fairness, we did have an on line offering $20 off for the table, which was definitely an incentive to try. I would ask them to double check in the ID if those celebrating birthdays, not that I'm skeptical but a dozen an hour?
The service overall was was good, and our server, though busy, was thoughtful and sincere in her aim to please. Good job!
Overall a good experience but the cuts were a bit inconsistent in flavour, the music not effective of Brazil, no entertainment on this Saturday, no real fruit selection or dessert which really should be included in a $50 price point. Let me know when you guys offer those extras and I'll update the review!!
