All in all, not a completely awful experience. The meat was overall good aside from the chicken, which was a little dry, and the atmosphere was comfortable. The service was not great at first, we wouldn't even be seated while we were waiting on our last guest, and they could have done a better job with explaining the process for how things work there. Once we were seated, service was okay, but a bit stop and go as we waited on our meats to be cooked. The meats were mostly great. The side bar was decent. The service gets a ding in rating as there was a lack of explanation for making us wait to be seated for service, and after paying for our meal we were rushed out by the bussing staff. Not bad, not great. Probably would recommend, but they also need a better manager.

I'll be honest, the food would be rated a 5 star if it wasn't for the hour wait for food that really isn't hard to cook. Not to mention within the hour wait we never got our soup or salad, but we're charged for them on top of an extra salad... if it were busy, sure accidents happen, people get held up, whatever that's understandable. But with 4 tables being occupied which none were large parties.... come on...even paying and being able to tip properly was a task. For a business that advertise a discount for 3.5% off for cash, we were told that they didn't have change for a 20, and then just stares at us awkwardly to see if we were just going to give them the $20 for a tip.

My fiancee made a reservation. We got there 20 minutes early. They seat us at the bar and tell us that they don't want to overwhelm the server and they will move us to a table in a bit. There were 4 tables with people then us. So not sure how they were so overwhelmed. Both of us order steak dinners. He got soup with his, and I a salad. We then wait 50 minutes for our rare and medium rare steak, they forgot to even bring us the salads and soup. We then got our steaks and had to wait for silverware to try it. Then we get our bill and they charged us for 2 salads, and the soup plus we were paying in cash so I was excited to see they offer a 3.5% discount for cash. Our bill was approx $74, after they removed the items we never got. The waitress brings back a $20, and $7 in misc bills. So I ask her to break the $20 so I can tip her $17 which 20% was like $13.She tells me she doesn't have change to give me and then awkwardly stares at me when I ask her, if she has any tips she could give me change for so I can tip her $17. This was one of the worst dining experiences I have had and every part was painful when it was supposed to be a relaxing date night. I would only recommend this place for takeout, and hopefully you order an hour ahead of time because if they have 3 orders before you, then the wait time will be an hour.

Arrived 1.5 hours after open for the meat parade. Figured that was enough time to have things rolling while still not too busy....There were only two other parties. One was a big family gathering with like 12-15 people including kids. Other was a 3 top. Waited for 45 mins till the meat started coming out. Servings were very small and Took over an hour to cycle through the meats. I was stealing meat off my wife's plate while I waited for another 3 bites to finally come out. Afterward I asked for more meat and got a tiny plate with 4 bites of meat. Left hungry. If you don't fill up on the buffet you will be disappointed. My wife liked it. But she is a little woman with a small stomach. IF I ever go again I will have to buy another place/plate to double the serving size.

I was in town recently and stopped by this restaurant as it was right next to my hotel. Service was excellent. The Caipirinha drinks were really good and the steak very well prepared. And whatever the little cheese snacks they give you before the meal are are basically like crack as you could easily eat those all day longAll in all, really good spot that I hope the locals take advantage of!

Went for our anniversary. Very nice ambiance. I am carnivore so I didn't partake in much of the cold bar/other offerings, I was there for the meat. You get tiny pieces of all the meats, but after 10 different meats you are glad you got tiny pieces. I have to say it wasn't worth the cost. All of the beef offerings tasted the same, they seem to use the same seasoning on everything.

The food was great! The service was attentive and accommodating. There were so many different meats to try and they just kept them coming. I liked the little bread balls they served with dinner. All in all it was a great experience.

I tried this restaurant after visiting Texas De Brazil in Detroit. I was told that they were basically the same. This couldn't be any further from the truth. Texas De Brazil is top tier. This place had hardly any food on the salad bar. They messed my reservation up and I had to wait but that was not the issue. It was the overall service that was terrible. We didn't have a waitress to help us we just kinda grabbed someone walking by. Finally a younger lady came to our table and told us that she doesn't think we have a waitress but she will take over. I appreciated HER service. I doubt I'll ever be back because that food that I ate last night was NOT worth $150 for two ppl. It was basic at best!

We got there 15 minutes prior to our reservation and just chilled at the bar til our table was ready, which no big deal but then it was 15-20 minutes past our reservation time til our table was ready. It also took our server some time to come over, but he was very helpful. The meat was good but the a la carte and salad bar were disappointing, they only refilled one or two items while we were there so it was slim pickings for both options. Overall it was good, but was not worth the price.
