First time eating at a Brazilian steakhouse, we went the rodizio route. We didn't make reservations but managed to get there early and was given almost 2 hours to eat and vacate the table which was more than enough time for us.
Are server was very attentive and checked up on us to make sure we were ok especially since it was our first time.
We went to the appetizer island first and we filled a plates - that alone pretty much filled us up so don't overdo it. Then we went on to the endless supply of meats. We felt that the meats were a bit on the salty side and they all pretty much tasted the same. We were so thirsty after dinner probably from our massive salt consumption. The grilled pineapple in between complimented the meats in a nice way.
There were Brazilian dancers and capoeira to entertain us. It was a nice dinner - it is definitely something different. It's worth a try if you've never tried Brazilian cuisine.
