| - Okay, okay...So I had read and heard a lot of mixed reviews on this place before going, and my brain was in "just give em a chance"' mode. A guy invited me on a lunch date here, so I sighed and went with hopes for the best.
Location is a little weird in the middle of Miracle Mile, and of course pretty dead in the middle of a weekday. We opted for one of the "patio" seats on the outer part of the restaurant. Service was ok, but the server kept mentioning that my date had a big coupon and he'd tack on a birthday dessert for us to meet the requirements to use it. Weird. What if I wasn't supposed to know the date was so cheap?! lol
At any rate, we got up to do the salad bar thing and I wasn't disappointed with that part at all. Pretty good options and everything looked fresh. Great olives.
Meats started coming around and a lot of the cuts looked super fatty. Skipped those and went for the top sirloin and chicken wings. Both very good.
Since the "birthday dessert" was a must, per our server, I got a tiramisu. Pretty good, but I'm a tiramisu snob, so don't mind me.
Not a bad big meaty lunch for 2 at $16, but not sure if I would've paid much more for it, all things considered. Stick to Fogo or Texas de Brazil for the real fancy experience.
