This place is amazing! The key is to PACE yourself! Unlimited salad and side dish bar, everything in the salad bar was delicious! Cold salads were great! All of them! Lol! Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy was good! Now let's get to the incredible MEATS! All Brazilian! Sausage, pork, chicken and steaks of all kinds! I tried them all! My favorite beside the steaks was the garlic Parmesan pork tenderloin! Melt in your mouth deliciousness! Wow! They give you red and green cards, you want more meat, keep the green card in front of you, when you're stuffed to the gills, put the red card out to STOP THE MEAT! I don't recall any of us using that one! 😂 It was a really fun dinner and very memorable! All the staff was amazing and friendly and the meat just kept coming! Go there! Bring a visiting family member or friends! It's a great date night too! We all loved it! Oh, and let's not forget the grilled pineapple at the end! OMG! 😋😋

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!

Christmas dinner at 5:00 pm we had just arrive and started our salad and the police came storming in the restaurant was on fire. From my seat I could see the kitchen filling with smoke. Then I see cooks with spray bottles spraying the vent and grill area. Alarms going off the employees shut the alarm off not once but twice and opened the door to let smoke out.while people continued eating. Needless to say we evacuated immediately after the police came in and said hurry run you have to evacuate the building is on fire!! The roof was on fire and there fire trucks, police everywhere. What is upsetting the most is that after speaking with The manager he was all non-chalant about the ordeal only focusing on their money loss.
How about Christmas dinner being ruined for people that look forward to such. This could have all been prevented if regulations were up
To par!!

Well, let's just say it was an extremely memorable Christmas dinner. Service was top notch, food was amazing with large selection of choices on cold bar, and warm..so many foods to list. Meats are served at each table.
LambChops fabulous and flavorful, Filets, Sirloin, Chicken. Me and my two lady friends, we totally enjoyed the experience....
Cocktails were unique and delicious.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Sadly, the kitchen had a situation, and we evacuated the building quickly. All got out safe. Seemed like staff knew how to help everyone exit quickly and safely.
Memorable Merry Christmas.
I'll only share the food and not the situation.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

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.
