| - First time here on Father's Day, after hearing a lot of positive reviews. We usually go to Texas De Brazil, but thought we give this place a chance. Big mistake !
The place was packed, and service was super slow. We were past the first plate of food before the waiter even showed up to take drink orders or get sides (of which there are only plain mashed potatoes, super bland fried polenta, or sweet bananas.
The salad bar was nothing special, with the only items of notice being the smoked salmon and the candied bacon. The rest was rather blah.
But we're here for the meat, right ? First to the table was the bacon wrapped chicken that was so over cooked that it was totally inedible. Two later attempts from different skewers were better, but still very dry.
Pretty much none of the meat cuts were the requested temperature. I kept asking for medium rare, and half the pieces I got were rare or completely raw. I switched to asking for medium, and got either rare or well done.
Biggest disappointment was the filet mignon. Early on, a guy showed up with three pieces left, one for each of our party. It was tough and full of gristle, not like any filet I've ever seen. This was the only time filet mignon ever made it to our table.
"Holiday Pricing" for this debacle was $55. With one drink and one desert each, we ended up at $100 per head incl tax and tip - outrageous for the quality of food and service.
I don't even know why I gave this place 2 stars. I guess the candied bacon and the caipirinhas were ok.
