| - Last year, we were supposed to have our wedding dinner here. Our wedding chapel screwed things up and forgot to set the reservations w/ the restaurant, so we weren't able to get the private room. We figured for the price they were charging, it wasn't worth the money without the privacy, so we ended up going elsewhere. On our 2nd trip back to Vegas, we knew we had to try it and see what could have been.
This was my first Brazilian steakhouse, so I don't have anything else to compare it to. I notice a lot of reviews state that this isn't as good as ___insert another Brazilian steakhouse here___. My review will probably be on the higher side as a result.
The ambiance is beautiful. I really liked how it felt somewhat romantic, but I think it would have been a good spot even for a bunch of friends or family. The waiter boasted of the salad bar but I didn't think that they had a lot of great choices. It was a bit of a let down. The soups were soo good though, as was some of the cold pasta salads, so there was enough for me to eat. (Don't miss out on the cheesy bread either! It was my favorite non-meat item.)
The meats-
-Everything bacon wrapped was delicious, but then again what isn't?
-Sirloin. We had them keep bringing it back. So moist, perfectly seasoned and the definition of a good piece of meat.
-Grilled pineapple. Not really a meat but it was brought out in the same fashion. Loved it! Wish that they served it with the ham though. By the time the ham was brought out, the pineapple guy was nowhere in sight.
All in all, the deliciousness of the meat selection made up for the somewhat lacking salad bar. Now that I've experienced the Brazilian phenomenon, I'm hooked. Can't wait to try another one!
