| - This was our first time here after they opened a few weeks ago. The interior is beautiful, the staff is very friendly. We've been going to another similar establishment in downtown Cleveland for years for special occasions, we will never go back there! Texas de Brazil is closer, and the salad bar and quality of meats were WAY better.
I highly recommend the Potatoes Au Gratin on the salad bar, I couldn't stop eating them! The salad bar is very nice, well worth the price, the dressings are delicious and the huge wheel of shaved Grana Padano cheese, and the basket of perfectly cooked bacon just took it over the top, I almost wanted to eat nothing but that! I have absolutely no complaints about the food, all the meats were delicious and moist. Especially the steaks, the salt rub they put on them is so good!
My only complaint was the overbearing service. There's a fine line between taking care of a guest and making them feel smothered. Every time I left the table, my napkin was refolded, and the waiter physically handed it to me to put it back on my lap, it felt silly. My water was filled about 8 times, which felt like every time I took a sip it was refilled. Our waiter was always hovering/circling around us, I think we were his only table, and we were visited by two separate managers to see how things were.
Just a little privacy would've been nice, the meals are already understandably invasive with the gauchos coming with the meat selection, I'm expecting that and I'm okay with that, but when my husband and I didn't even have 2 minutes alone it's just a bit much. Maybe this was the case because we were there at 5 on a Sunday and they were slow, so they were bored, maybe when it's busier it's less intrusive. It's much better than being ignored by a server obviously, but maybe just take it down a notch. Despite all that I'll definitely be back, and not just for special occasions :)
