   Overpriced to the level you wouldn’t expect I wouldn’t recommend anyone to go here

   My boyfriend and I went here for Valentines day, it was our first time and most likely the last. The tables were way too close to have any semblance of private conversation. The salad bar was all the way in the back of the restaurant and it was tough to maneuver between the tables without bumping into the guests seated at the tables. The meat came around very sporadically, we only saw a waiter twice. Once to take our drink order and the second time to drop them off. We waited 20 minutes before being able to flag someone down to get a refill, only to have it be forgotten. We had to flag someone else down who eventually brought our refill. It was not a good experience. Save your money and go to Rodizio.

   First time there. Food was fabulous, had to turn away food a number of time because we were just too full. Dessert was great. Service was wonderful. The server found out that we were celebrating our engagement anniversary (30 years) and made up a special plate for dessert with a message to us. Just a little spendy for us, and they didn't mention that some of the offerings weren't included, so we saw a charge for the grilled pineapple on our bill for 13.50, but it was never told to us that that was an additional charge. Otherwise, a fun, adventurous culinary experience!

   The young man was our waiter retuned only once to our table. He pointed us to the salad bar but I really don’t know if we were supposed to get a different plate for our main meal. We had food from the salad bar we didn’t like so we a different plate that had been giving to us with potatoes on it .we were not offered refills and I had to ask a random worker for my bill and to take it from our table so we could leave. The food and the food servers were fantastic. We didn’t like how open the restaurant was. There is no privacy and you feel very exposed. .

   Enjoyed the food greatly. Next time we will avoid being seated by the back wall wear extra plates and the wine rack is located. Staff congregate there to talk also staff run back and forth from that area so someone always seems to be passing by you table. The hostesses should seat that area as a last resort.

   We have eaten at many Brazilian restaurants and they all have a nice ambiance, a nice atmosphere except this restaurant. We were taken back especially with it being in Bloomington! The restaurant is located in a strip mall which wad a bit offsetting but when we got to the restaurant it ,it looked absolutely horrid. It was a big wide open setting with clear windows into the mall with florescent lighting, it felt like we were in Old Country Buffet! The ambiance was terrible and the tables were very close together too which made nonsense as the restaurant aren't even close to being full. Plus our waitress was very attentive, we had to ask for our dinner plates several times and find her to ask for more drinks. But after expressing our disappointment, she made sure to address it right away. I believe she was just very unexperienced. Paying $55/plate and ordering 3 or 4 drinks a person, that's a customer you want to attend to more which wasn't our case spending $250 there was NOT worth it. On a good note the food was EXCELLENT! The good was cooked perfect, very flavorful and the men servers did a good job

   We had 8 people and they were very accommodating and there was always someone coming to our table to see how things were going and ask if we needed anything or had any special requests we were looking for.

   The salad bar was fantastic. Meat cuts were good. Overall it was a good experience but I probably will not return. I prefer a more quiet ambiance for this type of dining. Servers were very attentive and cordial. Wine selection was good. This would be a great place to take clients.

    Great food and exceptional service! Huge salad bar selection and 17-21 meat selections that are brought to your table from which you can select and they are sliced at your table. You choose from rare, medium rare, medium to medium well done.
