If you are not brasilian they will definetely rob you and over charge you.The food is ok, but they charge different prices, I went there several times every time I eat one little plate and drink a juice they charge me close to $100 maybe bcuz I look rich.One time I went there with my Brazilian friend we ate the same thing they charged me $90 and my Brazilian friend was charged only $15Even when you have money that still discrimination and disrespect that's why I stop going there. It's ridiculously absurd.

I really liked the food! Great option for Brazilian food. I recommend eating by the kilo since you eat what you want, get whatever roast meat you want, fresh off the grill... very good! I liked it and recommend it to anyone who likes Brazilian food.

The macaroni salad was completely hard and the waitresses' lack of interest in coming to the table and offering drinks was completely low, they passed by and didn't even look. The service weighs heavily on the tip. :)

I love this place! Don't sleep on the grilled pineapple. The stars are the grilled meats: picanha, lamb, bacon-wrapped chicken are my personal favorites. I usually just do a quick pass at the salad bar and hot bar when I'm paying by the pound, but there are some gems there too (farofa! beans!).Their dessert case is also worth writing home about! I love to pop in and grab a cake, flan, pudding, or brigadeiro to go.The ambience has changed a bit in the past few years. I love that it's very casual around lunchtime, lots of contractors and students grabbing a quick bite. Evenings and Sunday afternoons there are more families and often fun entertainment. My personal favorite is their patio in the summer, they have a ton of greenery and it feels like a little escape in the city.

Very authentic tasty cuisine. Seems to be full of Brazilians if that tells you something. A bit run down but absolutely clean.

The service was outstanding. We had a group of 10 and they made us feel like we were the only patrons in the restaurant. The food was well cooked with great flavor. They kept a steady arrival of new and interesting skewers coming to the table until we all called "Uncle" we can eat any more.

FIRST OF ALL PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF RESTAURANT NOT MATCH MANAGEMENT NOT HELPFUL AT ALL NO SERVERS YOU HAVE TO GET AND SERVE YOURSELF EVEN YOUR DRINKS NOT CLASSY RESTAURANT MORE BUFFETS STYLE PICTURES NOT ACCURATE

Went for dinner on a Sunday evening, place wasn’t busy. Manager was attentive and got us a table within 5 mins. There are several options to choose from . An all you can eat for $44.99 on the weekends (different pricing during the week) Self service for $12.99 per pound and Al la carte but we weren’t made aware of that. We decided to do the self service $12.99 per pound since we knew we weren’t going to eat $45 /per person worth of food. The waitress comes to your table to take your drink order. You’re then instructed to go up to get your food buffet style. Remember you’re paying per pound so be aware that you’ll be paying for everything you put on the plate. There’s a salad bar , hot food bar, rice, beans, potatoes, pork and fish. At the meat section you can let the person cutting the meat know what you want.Theres a sign above with the different cuts of beef and chicken, along with sausages. After that you get to the scale and the person weighs your food for everyone in your party. You’re given a number for your table in case you go up for seconds or thirds. The food was ok, I found the meat to be on the salty side but usually that’s expected from Brazilian steakhouses. Others in our party thought the meat was a bit tough. There was live entertainment which was fun to listen to at the beginning but then we really couldn’t have a conversation. We basically ate and decided to leave.***Pay attention to your bill ***When it was time to pay we noticed they included an automatic 18% gratuity for a party of 6 to the bill. I can justify paying that, if we were actually getting table service. But the only time the waitress came around was to take the order for our drinks. Everything else we did ourselves. We noticed it after paying and decided to leave the bill as is. We felt it would have been more complicated to ask them to adjust it since the music in the background was so loud. Overall, it was an ok establishment. If we do go back I’ll definitely be paying attention to our bill.
