| - We have not been here before, but it was fantastic.
We had reservations at 5:30, because we didn't want it to be really busy since we had 2 kids with us. Service was great.
The salad bar was pretty good. They had black beans that I think were cooked with bacon. They were good. There was rice but I didn't want any. They had a big heated container of this red stuff that I didn't know what was in it. It seemed like a pasta sauce but I didn't care to ask what it was.
They had a pickled cucumber, onion & tomato salad. I loved it so much. It was fresh and perfect. I wish I ate more of that.
They had small mozzarella balls, standard mixed greens, grilled zucchini (so good), asparagus, a chicken salad (didn't try), apple salad (meh) 2 types of cold meats (didn't try) mushrooms (good but really salty)
The sides:
mashed potatoes, amazing. They were creamy & topped with green onions, exactly how I like them.
Fried bananas, pretty good, my oldest didn't like them, my baby loved them
Cheese bread-one of my favorite Brazilian foods ever. The texture is different than standard dinner rolls. There's Parmesan cheese & due to the use of cassava flour, it has a chewy texture on the inside, with the crispy outside.
We ate so many meats I couldn't tell everything that we ate.
Some of the meats were a little salty, but the flavor was good.
The bacon wrapped filet mignon was my favorite. It was cooked about medium rare. I would eat a ton of if I hadn't eaten so much of everything else.
I wasn't a huge fan of the Parmesan pork. The flavor was okay but it was pretty dry
The desserts we ordered:
Brazilian flan-sense, rich, creamy and sweet. It may be denser than what people might be used to, but it was really good and I would get it again.
Papaya mousse-it lacked flavor, I couldn't taste a lot of papaya. It was a light orange color. I wasn't sure if they had been out & trying to make it on the fly, but it tasted like a tiny bit of papaya purée mixed with vanilla ice cream & some additional whipped heavy cream. It was very disappointing, but it was literally the only thing I didn't like.
Chocolate molten cake-it was vanilla ice cream and a basic molten chocolate cake. The kiddos loved it. It didn't taste bad but I was unimpressed.
Atmosphere: relaxed, and "not judgmental" for the excessive amount of food we ate.
Will I be back? Probably. I should diet for a week before next time though.
