| - Wow! What a great meal! The waiter comes to your table with a bread basket with several doughnut hole shaped buns. They are Brazilian cheese buns dusted with parmesan cheese. There were excellent!
I started with the salad bar and took items sparingly. I tried the cold, sliced portabello muchrooms, one tomato caprese, asparagus risotto, two small artichoke heart halves, and two large shrimps and a piece of fish from their hot seafood mixture. This was the extent of my salad bar foray as I didn't want to fill up on salad. It would be a great dinner in itself.
I turned the coaster to the green side meaning bring on the meat. Before they started that, a waiter brought three dishes to the table - one with 3 fried plantains, another with mashed potatoes, and a third with green beans with garlic. These were my vegetables to go with my meat. A lot of food to accompany a lot of food.
I didn't try all the meats as I was filling up before they had a chance to bring everything to my table. I liked the small sausage, the first meat I tasted and it was excellent. Beautiful seasoning. Then I had two thin slices of rare prime rib which was excellent also. I had both the chicken breast wrapped in bacon and the tenderloin wrapped in bacon. Both were very good. The seasonings were perfect. I am a salt user extraordinaire, but I salted nothing except the mashed potatoes and green beans. I had the garlic picanha (top sirloin) and it was superb!! I also had one slice of beef rib which is sliced from a rack of rib (large--not baby back) and served on a separate small plate.
Since there were only two tables occupied in the restaurant, there weren't several guys walking around distributing meat like rodizio restaurants. Two guys were tasked with the serving. I didn't get the pork loin and I forgot Tony's mentioning of chicken hearts--damn, damn, damn. Well, something to look forward to next time.
After all this, I did hold back so I could try some dessert. I had a slice of peanut butter, chocolate chip cheesecake. Oh yeah--great!
Service was impecable. My iced tea was refilled often, staff was always around to answer questions or see if you needed something. I was greeted at the door by a delightful young lady and she also bid me a kind, smiling farewell!
The place is very nicely done. I love the wine rack that goes almost to the ceiling. I could see the super ladder inside to extend and reach the highest shelves.
This is a great deal with a Groupon. The Groupon was $21. The regular price for the rodizio is $42.95. I'm not sure I'd be back for the full price, but the Groupon certainly makes it a great deal. Come on Groupon--let's get anohter Via Brasil. And you know, I'll probably go back and pay the full price if one of my friends from out of town who loves rodizio comes to Las Vegas. We'll go together!
