Awesome place for special occasion. Expensive, but worth it. $100 easy for 2. All you can eat. The sides are phenomenal and tons of meat options. From chicken, lamb, filet minion, ribeye, bacon wrapped...my wife's favorite is the roasted pineapple and cinnamon. Definitely will enjoy your time and not super loud. Looking forward to the next trip back. Hopefully it's not another year before that happens.
I've been going to this place for about 10 years service and food have always been excellent.. But unfortunately, not this time..lamb was overcooked and not very tasty.. and the steak was average at best..very disappointing :--) i am not one to leave negative reviews but someone in management needs to know ....even bad food one time i could overlook it because they always havegreat food ... But the server was horrible i mean horribledirty plates ...left on table ... no refill on the water glasses ..she just didn't want to be bothered .. playing on her phone was more important ... even if i get bad service i always leave them something .. which typically doesn't happen... i just could not leave her anything ... which i felt guilty afterward but i had to do it ! sorry :--(

Reservations recommend. One the best eating experiences to be found in Ocala. It was of course, a busy Saturday night at 6:30. Our wait wasn't long. Our party of 4 got Saturday near a large display window showing the meat rottissaries and preperations they go thru to bring to your table for caring. Fascinating process. We were gratful to have seen it close up. Of course the Garden buffett was trully graze worth. The many different meats made to perfectible, edible delights made my month gush with happiness. Just when I didn't think it could get any better at the conclusión, they brought out a Happy Birthday plate of fruit and tasty vainilla ice cream. Very memorable.

Very sweet staff. Love the chandeliers and atmosphere. Food is very good. Highly recommend. Worth the priceDietary restrictions: Plenty of veggie options on the salad bar and cold bar
My family and I have been going to this restaurant for over 10 years and I’m really sad to say it has gone down hill pretty badly. The past few times we have gone, the service has been terrible, the sides at the salad bar in the warmers were cold and we barely got any of the meats because they didn’t come to our area much at all. We most recently visited last night for my 30th birthday, and I was so excited. They sat us in the back area, which I hate, because everytime we get sat there, the meat waiters rarely come back there and we never get enough food or the variety that we would if we were sitting in the main area. Our salad bar sides were cold from the warmers and even most of the meat we got, and the pineapple were cold. We barely had our drinks refilled and honestly we left hungry. For the amount of money they charge for dinner I was extremely disappointed in every aspect of my dinner last night. We were there for over 2 hours, barely got any food, had horrible service and waited forever for our check. I don’t think we will be coming back anytime soon. The first couple times we had this issue we chalked it up as it was just a bad night, but clearly things haven’t changed. It’s honestly not even worth the money anymore.

Great place to celebrate anything really. Classic Brazilian meatfest which they bring to your table on endless spit roast rods. The side buffet is something to write home about from simple salads, to smoked salmon and capers there is something for everyone. Don't forget to try the classic Caipirinha National drink of Brazil (Sugarcane rum, sugar and lime) yummy.Parking: At the restaurant about 20 spaces.

It was a very nice experience for my buddy's 40th birthday party. I think the meat could come around a little quicker, but I am fat, that is a me problem, nor a them problem.

My husband and I, took my son and his wife to dinner there, for his birthday, It was a wonderful dining experience. The food was amazing. I loved that you were able to eat all you wanted ,and the servers who came to you table( .with all kinds of meat ).were very gracious. Everything I ate was absolutely deliciousOur server was delightful. I would highly recommend "Ipanema" for good food, and a beautiful and relaxing ambiance, that made our evening, a "Wonderful Dining Experience " I will definitely go again.
