| - After anxiously awaiting a new brazilian churrascaria, Hubs and I made reservations at TDB for restaurant week. The special was their typical buffet and meats with a dessert option or 35$. It was actually a pretty good deal and ened up saving us $30 total. Upon walking in, I was blown away by he size of this place. Gigantic. It was also very busy as there was a late aftenoon private game that had just ended. I'm glad we made reservations seeing there was an hour and a half wait!
We were quickly seated and the server helped us pick out a glass of wine. We were given a small bread basket with round, cheesy bread balls and were instructed to help ourselves to the appetizer buffet. The buffet has a selection of prepared salads, some seafood, meats and cheeses as well as greens/veggies to make a salad. After a quick salad, I was ready for the good stuff-the meats! Our server brought over our wine as well as fresh plates, a side of fried bananas to cleanse the palate and mashed potatoes. We turned our coaster to green and anxiously waited . . . and waited . . . and waited. We saw several skewers of meat come out of the kitchen but then they retuned to the kitchen area empty without coming anywhere near our table. I'm not sure if they didn't realize that we were waiting or if it was tso busy that they didn't make it to our table before running out but we missed many tasty looking meats. Our server stopped by to ask how it was going noticing our plates were empty. I explained the situation and within two minutes, the meat was exiting the kitchen in the opposite direction and headed toward our table. We tried the filet, ribs, lamb chops, leg of lamb, skirt steak, sirloin steak, rotisserie chicken, chicken wraped in bacon, parmesan crusted pork loin (my favorite) and plenty more. We lost track after 12 different meats. After having our fill, we both chose the banana foster pie for dessert. It too was so tasty and delicious. We left our meal feeling very pleased with the overall experience. My only criticism is that our other favorite churrascaria (Green Forest) has a better appetizer buffet with a bigger selection of seafood items.
