"Let's be fair, and not compare this restaurant to Fogo de Chao, because if it was, it would be called that. \n\nWith that being said, I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The restaurant is very large and can seat a lot people, and was about 60 to 70% full while we were there. They played familiar Brazilian music through out the night, which gave the restaurant a really great vibe. Guests were mostly in large parties, and seemed to be having a festive time, lots of loud crowds and laughing. \n\nAs far as the food goes, the salad bar had cheese, prosciutto, salami,chicken salad, leaf salad, cucumber salad, huge asparagus, tomato salad, potato salad, hearts of palm, rice, black beans and most likely more if I could remember. It was always fully stocked and super fresh looking. \n\nThe meats were good, some a little tastier than others. The chicken, lamb and pork were very tender. I was always able to get medium rare beef at all slicings. The servers were constantly coming to the table when our cards were green.\n\nComplimentary cheese bread (out of this world), fried sweet bananas (delish) and mashed potatoes were served plentifully. \n\nThe staff was extremely attentive and professional. \n\nYes, it's true, the bill was a bit shocking at the end, but for a special occasion, or to take guests from out of town, the price is certainly acceptable. \n\nWe will definitely come back, most likely with a group of friends as we did tonight."^^ .
