| - I have been hearing wonderful stories of the amazing meals my friends have been having at the Texas De Brazil in Baton Rouge; and I was counting the days until the Woodmere location opened. Last night my husband and I finally made time to treat ourselves and celebrate our 16th anniversary with a very special meal. I am so happy we chose this! From start to finish our meal was absolutely magnificent.
We made reservations for a Tuesday night at 7PM. The restaurant was not crowded and there was no line waiting. We were greeted by the hostess and shown to our table. She not only pulled out our chairs for us, but placed our napkins - even asking me if white napkins were OK, or did I prefer a black one. It was truly a detail in all my years of dining out I had never been asked. She introduced us to Tony, our waiter for the evening and he explained to us about our meal. At Texas De Brazil you can have simply the salad bar or you can have it with the meats. I cannot personally see why you would come to a Steak House and order a salad buuuut to each his own. The salad bar is beautiful and it has all sorts of lovely items, fresh hearts of pal, tomato, romaine and endive, fresh mozzarella balls, even sushi, boiled shrimp, smoked prosciutto and more. It is a gorgeous spread and laid out quite lavishly. I sampled the romaine with their blue cheese dressing, some smoked prosciutto, mozzarella and a bowl of their lobster bisque. It was the most unique bowl of bisque I ever tasted. There is no meat in it at all but it had the best flavor I have ever had in a bisque. I highly recommend it.
My husband had a small salad plate as well sampling the cheeses, prosciutto, onion ceviche and the potatos au gratin. He too enjoyed his selections. It was then we began our true adventure of the evening....our meal.
You have a disk by your glass that is red on one side and green on the other. If you leave it on green carvers will come by your table with the most wonderful skewers of everything from chicken to bacon wrapped filet. It was heavenly. We both love meat and so it was fun to taste all these magnificent flavors. My favorites included the Brazillan Picanha, bacon wrapped fillet, braised beef rib and the bacon wrapped chicken. My husband agreed he loved the Picanha and the beef. I can honestly say for 30 minutes we were just in awe of how many items we were offered and how great they were. As I told him I never even went back to get the Au Gratin Potatoes because I truly did not miss them... the meats were so good they truly needed no accompaniment. I did try the potatoes Tony brought to the table and they were very good!
Now I will say we were really full but since we were celebrating we split a piece of Key Lime Pie and I took home a piece of the Brazilian cheesecake. Both were just as wonderful as they looked and I cannot wait to have them again!
We will definitly be back for more. It's just too good not to. Is it pricey? Yes but its worth it! I would rather pay $44.95 and have a great meal and enjoy as much as I want of as many kinds of meats as I want than $25.00 for a plate of one item that might be done half this well. Now there are some things I have learned like - the water they bring you costs $6. I will pass on that next time. And cokes are $3 each so I might limit myself to one not 3. But all in all I look forward to doing this again! Very soon!
