| - Eating out is more than just having Food ~ where you are and how you're treated count as well!
Atmosphere: Le Milsa's goal it seems is to create as much "atmosphere" as possible. The place is often crowded (especially dinner time), and sometimes even more than usual if a live show (dancers) are on hand. The staff all wear the Seleção (Brazil's national football team) jerseys - and are encouraged to be chatty with the customers. It may sometimes come off as been too contrived - but points for trying. A little too much on the touristy side.
Service: The service at le Milsa is good to very good. The staff is friendly, and being young(ish) tend to be open to bouncing around and mingling with the patrons on nights when a genuine part attitude develops. They make their rounds, with their spits of meat, as fast as possible, but sometimes that means it takes longer than necessary to catch a hold of one of them to ask for something like a menu, cutlery, etc.
Food: For a churrascaria no where near anything else Brazilian, Le Milsa's food get a C to B- grade. It tastes well enough, but those having been to an authentic Brazilian restaurant can tell the different. Indeed, le Milsa is not owned by Brazilians and neither is the chef / cook (as far as I have known). Not sure what the owner's connection to Brazil is or how much they know of it's history and culinary traditions, but it very much seems that le Milsa tries to capitalize on the whole "endless meat on a stick" wow factor. Lots to pork on the menu & lover of succulent filet mignon beware, you may only see the waiter with that type of meat only once or twice per sitting, the management seems to offer less of this in an attempt to move the other (cheaper) meats faster.
Good for a group and a ruckus time - but not for an authentic experience.
