| - For my husband's birthday we decided to try this place out, since we're fans of Texas de Brazil. Well, don't worry about losing us, TdB, because we were entirely unimpressed.
Most of the reviews here mention the wonderful service; I feel like we must have been in another universe entirely. We arrived early and were seated promptly, but that was about it for the service perks. We had HORRIBLE service, especially from the meat-bearing men (you know what I mean). We both had our cards on green, and time and time and time again we were passed by! It was so bad at one point I even held mine up and waved it in the air (I didn't mean to be so obnoxious but I was seriously annoyed) and STILL no one came by! We were seated around plenty of other tables and they were served, we even tried calling out to them and got nothing. The manager came by and we asked for him to send two different types of meat over, he said okay and left. They NEVER SHOWED UP. We flagged down another server and asked and finally got them. Our plates sat empty for the majority of the meal because no one would serve us! I have never experienced this at TdB or any other restaurant where we paid over $100 for a meal.
The meat itself wasn't bad, I really appreciated the menu to see what we hadn't yet tried. My husband preferred the way the meat is seasoned at TdB, and I will say that I have a different understanding of "medium rare" than these chefs do, but to each his own. The polenta fries were DELICIOUS, but as for the other sides we prefer TdB. And the salad bar felt lacking, but this could be a personal thing as I do love my lobster bisque and they don't have it. My husband ordered a cocktail, I passed on a glass of wine because prices starting at $11 seemed unreasonable (and we're locals, I feel like it's hard to surprise us with expensive drinks). His drink was over $13 but it was tasty (however, it was a smaller sized portion).
Finally, as mentioned, it was his birthday. So we ordered dessert and were served with a lovely chocolate cake with a plate that read, "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!" We thought this was hilarious, but I was annoyed, I had obviously mentioned it was his birthday when making the reservation. The manager came over to wish us happy anniversary and we laughed and told him it was my husband's birthday actually, then the manager said, "Well, did you say anniversary on the phone?" Ummm... no, no I didn't, I'm pretty sure I specified birthday.
Overall, we were definitely underwhelmed and will not return. Considering the high prices, abhorrent service, and dishes that are not on par with TdB, it was a disappointment.
