| - Man, Pampas sucks. So they started serving breakfast recently, and I got a hold of a coupon for $6.50/person. It seemed like a really good deal at the time, so I talked the fam into going. Which I completely regret doing cos I don't talk the fam into doing many things, and this time that I did completely sucked, and now I feel guilty that I did. =\
For one, our waiter was whack. My mum and brother had never done rodizio before, so they weren't sure what was going on. But at least they had BF and myself to explain. Any other noobs would've been completely lost. Cos not only were we seated for a pretty long time before our waiter came, when he finally did make it around to us, he did a poor job of explaining everything. Keep in mind this is morning time, with just one other table occupied besides ours. I couldn't help but watch this guy do nonsense stuff while we were just left hanging. Time after time again. I'm a lot more keen on waiter-behavior now, after doing my own time waiting tables.
The meat servers were...okay. They were definitely nice enough. But they just didn't have skills. Remember when I talked about Texas de Brazil meat servers looking unhappy? Well happy or not, I didn't get to appreciate their skills at cutting meat until seeing Pampas guys cutting meat. Watching these guys was so, so awkward. They were going for thin slices but then were only able to cut so much at the width they were cutting... It just seemed like such a process, whereas at Texas, voila--big chunka meat. The tables are also kinda small, so the servers would kind of have to cram in at the corners, and we were asked to move things around for them a few times.... Awkward.
The food itself was blah. It reminded me of what you might find at a cheap hotel's complimentary breakfast. You can def find better breakfast food at any other breakfast buffet in town. And what's up with that top glass that goes so far out, you have to crouch, stick your head in, and reach for inner items? Awkward. The breakfast meats included picanha, or 'beef' as we were told, ham, breakfast sausage, and some other sausage, ranging from substandard to standard. The best thing was definitely the grilled pineapple. Although the first time it came around, it was just normal pineapple. But the second time it came around, it was fresh off the grill, and that was absolutely delicious. It was the one and only good part of this whole experience. Oh, wait. $3 mimosas aren't bad either.
But to top off the bad, I'm pretty sure they overcharged us. And it sucks cos my mum is one of those who just hands over her credit card without looking at the check. I wonder how we're so deep in debt.... I even got reprimanded for being so stingy/skeptical when I mentioned something about the total being more than expected. Hey, I just like to know where my money's going. So I think it might've been that they didn't have a button or whatever to calculate this coupon we had, and they ended up just charging us the full price ($12.95) for three people instead of the $6.50 for four people. That's a difference of $12.85. I blame that waiter of ours. Bastard.
