| - I love me some churrascaria. I would like to take a brief break from this review to let you know how much, to the tune of "I Gotta Feelin'":
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (Do it!)
Friday, Saturday, Saturday to Sunday, (Do it!)
Get, get, get, get, get with us you know what we say, say
Churrascaria every day, churrascaria every day.
Now that I've gotten that out of my system, let's get to the food. I went to this place with my cousin, Paolo D. and we yelped while we were eating. How cool are we? As a result, I have a pretty sweet record of what we ate and how much I liked it. So let's get it started (another BEP reference in 1 review. Score!)
Non-meat items that I thoroughly enjoyed:
- Asparagus risotto - rich, creamy, just wish it spread on the plate more
- Fried bananas were delicious and subtle in their sweetness
- Cheese rolls tasted great when they first came out.
- Caesar salad was really good just add garlic oregano dressing. I love salad.
On to the main course (aka, things that I love):
- Chicken drumsticks were the first thing I had, really flavorful and I highly recommend them.
- The Seafood in the salad bar was in desperate need of salt. Good thing they have the salt and pepper shaker handy.
- Skirt steak was surprisingly amazing and tender
- Garlic steak was not tender but really flavorful
- Beef Ribs were delightfully fatty and tender
- Parmesan pork was dry but had a nice crust
- Service was very attentive
So this is where I get annoying and nit-picky (not to worry, this is still a 5-star review):
- The "Brazilian Mashed potatoes" were really fluffy. Almost too fluffly. They tasted instant to me, although I am sure they are not. Is it possible that you can make something so well that it gives the impression that it comes out of a box? Possibly.
- I wish they had fruit or something sweet to break up the heaviness of everything. And no, I am not going to pay for dessert after stuffing my face with 20 kinds of meat.
- Salmon was okay but the passion fruit vinaigrette really brought a nice break to the meal
- Bacon wrapped turkey was meh
Overall, I think you should go here.
