We dined at Texas de Brazil during restaurant week, which was awesome because the meal was $10 off and it came with a dessert.
The restaurant was busy, but our waitress, Autumn, was completely on the ball. Our water glasses never went empty and she was conscious of what needed refilled on the table and asked several times if there was any particular types of meat we were looking for.
We ordered a pitcher of the house sangria, which was plenty enough for the three of us drinking it. My husband had the speciality mojito, which was also delicious.
The cold bar had an excellent variety of meats, cheeses, salads, sushi, and shrimp. We could not get enough of the cheese bread balls and the plantains! We could do without the mashed potatoes.
The meats were delivered regularly and everyone who came to our table was very friendly. They even accommodated numerous requests for our meat to be cooked to a higher temperature (the meat is typically cooked to medium rare). The quality is f meat was top notch (says my father the butcher). The beef rib fell off the bone and was a huge hit at our table. My husband also ate the lamb, which he said was delicious. They had a house special top sirloin and the seasoning was amazing!
Yes, the meat is very salty, but they explain up front that it's because of how's it's prepared (traditionally on a bed of rock salt).
This restaurant is everything we expected it to be: a meat lover's paradise.
