7 PM on Saturday night definitely expect a wait. We made a reservation so we got sat faster, so definitely something to consider depending on when you are wanting to dine.
The service was amazing, they have a card system to let the people bringing around the meats know if you are wanting to continue to get more meat or not. They had many different varieties as well as different cuts. The meats were all very delicious, though a little fatty! I saw some people said that it was salty, I did not have that problem at all. You can let them know how medium/rare you want the meat, but I will say that they do tend to be more on the medium rare side. I love medium rare, so I had no issues. You do get access to the unlimited salad and sides bar. They have many options for sides including Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, beans, rice, fried plantains, etc. the salad bar had many options as well, and there was also bread and butter available. Overall we left very full and satisfied!
Wanted to add that the service was excellent! They def went above and beyond.
Overall, It is a little pricy, so I prob would not come outside of a special occasion, but it was def worth it!

Went for Sunday brunch. Very nice inside, but on the smaller side. Very nice host at front. He was so friendly and wished us a good celebration. Only 5 meats offered at brunch. Most seemed to be Parmesan crusted. Restaurant was busy. Salad bar on smaller side. Will return but probably not on a Sunday.

VERY good dining experience. The atmosphere was relaxed upscale, if not romantic when we arrived prior to the dinner rush. (Reservations recommended) Servers were attentive, the food of good quality, and I give it 4/5 for Brazilian authenticity because it is a little bit Americanized but mostly there. All that was missing was the feijoada, farofa, & Portuguese! A+, definitely recommend.

Despite the multiple reviews of salt and bland taste we thought we would give this place a try. Well we were disappointed which sucks. The service was great! Unfortunately if you like well done which me and my fiancée do, this is not the place for you. Every steak we asked for well done they said ‘well this is the most done’ and all of it was pink pink. A lot of it did taste very very salty. With the amount of money it cost, it is very dissatisfying to not be able to eat alot of the steak because the ‘well done’ was nowhere near well done. We basically ate the chicken and salad from bar which is not worth what we paid for. I suggest to have well done meat options as not everyone likes pink. Not happy and a big let down as yesterday was supposed to be a special day for us.

Food was amazing, atmosphere was excellent. Everything on the menu was good, least favorite was the pork but was still good. A bit pricey but for special occasions it's a great choice!
Server disappeared for extended periods.
