This was my second visit to Copa Cabana since moving to Toronto a few months ago. Both experiences were almost identical. The service was the only low point of the night (not terrible, but not up to par) Very slow to refill drinks and clear plates, and tough to flag down. We had to keep asking other staff to send our server over.
They have a decent selection of salads and cold items at the buffet (I didn't try any of the hot buffet items) and the breads they have are fantastic. There was a cranberry orange loaf that was still warm, and so delicious. I could've easily filled up on that.
The servers bring around freshly made corn bread, fried bananas and fries to the tables. The bananas have WAY too much sugar for my taste, but I love the corn bread.
The main event, of course, is that they bring around a wonderful selection of spit-roasted meats to slice at the tables. They can be a bit salty for some (perfect for me) but the quality is fantastic. Probably the best chicken I've ever had in a restaurant (you could just cut it with your fork!) and the other meats are so tender and flavourful.
The highlight of the evening, though, is the entertainment; beautiful Brazilian dancers / performers and fantastic music. It's very loud but such a great vibe! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely return.
