| - I had never been to a Brazilian style steakhouse before, so this was a new experience for me. For my husband's 50th birthday, I decided to treat him to this place, as he had been wanting to go there for awhile. We went on a Tuesday evening, and there were 7 other tables seated with people when we came in. The waiter was efficient in telling us how everything worked, and in bringing our drinks and the interesting little bread bites. I definitely agree with many of the other reviewers that the lighting is inadequate. They should install more light fixtures.
We decided to check out the salad bar. The items we had on there were very tasty and fresh, although neither one of us had more than a few bites of anything because we really came for the main attraction, MEAT.
After being pleased by the small but tasty salad bar offerings, we started on the meat. I tried most of what they offered, but got full before I could try the ribs (which my hubby raved about). The only meat which was really dry was the pork chops, and they were really quite inedible due to the dryness. The ham was tasty, but very salty, stay away if you have high blood pressure! Other than that, I don't see what many f the other reviewers were saying. Everything else was delicious and moist. The lamb was slightly dry, but it is such a lean meat that is rather unavoidable unless it is rare. It was a bit gamy for me, but I'm mostly a beef and chicken girl myself. The parmesan filet was melt-in-your-mouth, and literally didn't need a knife to cut it. The strip steak was divine. Even the chicken legs were seasoned well and tasty.
The only reason I will not be going back, nor giving it 5 stars, is the price. As I said, it was a special occasion, so I wasn't too upset about shelling out $100 for dinner. We normally stick to under $50 for dinner for both of us. But really, $40 for all you can eat meat isn't unreasonable, as in my opinion the meat was wonderful. I'm sure I ate more than I would have at a traditional steakhouse, so I'm not too upset. But with over $6 tax and the tip on top of $40/person, it is just a bit much for us. I cannot see how they only give $10 off for not having the meat. It is backwards, it should only cost $10 for the salad bar only, not $30!
Overall a pleasant experience. If the price were to come down, or I had a really good coupon I would definitely dine here again.
(on a side note, I never even thought about parking, we ended up parking about a block away, at a lot which was only $5. We don't normally dine downtown, so that may have been why it caught me off guard. Just be sure to have a couple extra bucks to park)
