| - So let's start with the good: The staff were great. The waitress we had was nice and attentive, and the meat carvers were friendly and all-smiles. (The carvers were actually Brazilian too, how authentic!) The buffet of other food was fine. Some of the salads were too sweet/overwhelmingly citrus for my taste, but the cooked broccoli and the beans and rice were tasty. Also, make sure you ask the waiter/waitress for cheese bread and corn bread. It doesn't sit at the buffet, they bring it to you fresh and warm, but it's included in the price and is so much tastier than the bread sitting at the buffet.
Also, GRILLED PINEAPPLE. Save room.
The less than good: For some reason, all of the meat was served rare (medium-rare at best...but even that's a bit of a stretch. There was lots of blood on my plate). I told our carver that I like my meat a bit more well done (which I realize now were a poor choice of words... I should have said "cooked a bit longer", as I don't need my meat to be well done, just closer to medium than what was presented). He was very nice about it and said he would bring me some more well-done meat. Well, as expected, he literately brought me well-done meat (again, my fault for my poor choice of words). But I didn't mind, it was actually quite tasty and juicy. Unfortunately, the non-rare meat came around about 3 times and that was it. I should have stocked up and taken a ton of meat the first time it came around. Ended up eating a ton of delicious pineapple to make up for it.
Now that I have learned more about this place, I would probably have a better experience next time... ask for medium and stock up the first time they come around, rather than waiting to have a bit of everything.... but hey, if you like rare meat (as my boyfriend did), you will probably love it.
