| - Not my first time here and again was reminded of what I like and dislike about the restaurant.
Pro:
Something unique and different - the meat is grilled in the Brazilian style and served on spits, the concept is that one can eat as much as one wants as the waiters bring the different meats to you off the grill. Your blue or red coasters signal whether you want more meat.
Impressive décor and ambiance - dim, chic, not mixed up and tacky at all
Choice of meats and salad bar - the unlimited salad bar is in fact as good as any buffet with many choices and the meats, cheese ball and fried pineapple are all different and varied.
On weekends and holidays they have Brazilian dancing. The dancers are not very good, but the flamboyance and interaction are fun for sure (unless you hate samba).
The waitress (who took care of dishes and drinks) was a thin and young lady who was sweet and polite. I couldn't place her accent.
Cons:
Just like the last time the multiple hostesses take your sweet time ushering you in. Is it a time limit trick? Is it that their reservation system is using Windows 98? Is it that their screen is actually interfaced with the owner who personally has to order the hostess to take you to a certain table and, well, sometimes he is sleeping at home or is in the washroom or whatever and so guests have to wait for his return so the hostess can receive instructions?? Are they checking you out to strategically decide where to put you (even though you have a reservation) so they maximize their profit??
This time not only our group had to wait the usual wait, but also our group was taken up five steps before being returned to the front so the hostess can review the screen, what??
The meat is obviously bad for you. The amount of salt sprinting up and down your tongue and throat is obscene. I am sure, I assume, this is Brazilian food, which is fine, but be warned.
The price is $50/person.
Worst of all, even if you are there for two hours the carvers stop coming after the first hour. Just test it yourself. After about 15 minutes of sitting you begin to see your waiters and the meat. By the 60th minute you will see them slow down and not come to you anymore. Never mind, that they are ignoring their own blue or red coaster system. If you want actual steak and you want to decide how much to have go to Hy's or The Keg.
Favourite meat: sirloin
Least favourite item: fried pineapple
