| - Just got home from my visit to Rodeo Brazilian Steakhouse with the boyf & my mom who is visiting from out of town, and, although the food was mostly delicious, I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with my visit to Rodeo Brazilian Steakhouse. I should preface this by saying that I live within a stone's throw of Copa on Eg, but chose Rodeo based on the Yelp reviews and because they have farofa (cassava flour) on their rice & beans. I LOVE farofa.
I made a reservation earlier in the week for Friday night, fully ready for/forewarned about the loud entertainment and dancers, which, I will add, they also tout on their website. In fact, we were excited for it. To our surprise, their was no entertainment when we got there, but okay, maybe we're a little early (7:30pm reservation). After I asked a waiter who was unsure of where the band was, the manager said 'the band cancelled... I don't know where they are.' Ok? I understand shit happens, but then we were charged full price for the meal (usually $40 Sunday-Wednesday, it's $50 on Thursday-Saturday, which I assumed was to help pay for the 'Big Brazilian Show'). Something about that just didn't jive with me at $60+ per person for what was supposed to be a special treat featuring live entertainment. Perhaps I should have expressed my disappointment instead of simply asking twice, but I'm rarely one to make a stink. If they knew the entertainment was going to cancel, they might have called those with reservations to let them know. If not, they should have offered the meal at the non-entertainment price so that guests don't have to awkwardly ask for a discount for a service that was not provided.
With that said, my favorites: the caipirinhas, fried banana, rice, beans and farofa, and, bizarrely, the meatball. It was amazing!!
Meh: The turkey wrapped in bacon was a little dry, as was the lamb
