| - I'm not sure what other churrascaria are available in Cleveland, but this was the first one that I became aware of. After a couple of months here, I finally made it out to try it. It's managed by the same group that owns the Sunset Lounge...
The lighting is dim, and goes for a cool-hip motif. The decor is competent, but hardly breath taking. The servers, on my visit were efficient but were clearly not interested in being pleasant. I'm used to going to Brasilian staffed Rodizios, where they are proud of being Brasilian. This place didn't exude that sort of raison d'etre. In fact, upon being asked, they had only one Brasilian in their employ at the time.
No obrigados for you!
The buffet has a lot of foods, but very generic. No Yuca of any sort. The feel is a typical buffet, with shrimp, pasta, cheeses etc. Competent, but without love or passion.
The meat came fast, and it was rather decent. Chicken, sausage, sirloin, prime rib, lamb chops, lamb roast, and flank steak, as well as ham. No roast cheese. Decent, but not great. Again, not spiced with passion, not served with zeal.
Darn.
Still, it's not bad.
I prefer the Caipirinhas at Sarava by far, by the way.
Would I go back?
Tough question. If I can't find a better Brasilian bbq, I might have no choice but to try it again. Most likely, however, I'll get my fix in another city.
If one must gorge, gorge well.
Why gorge with foods that aren't devilishly good?
