   This was a waste of $399.50. Three of us came to celebrate a friends birthday. We literally had our card up, they probably came to the table 4 times without us having to ask to bring us meat. We had to ask servers to ask the people holding the steak to come to the table. I thought your card up ment they automatically come to your table; NOT in this location. One server stopped to ask one of the guys with the steak to serve our table, he literally finished serving the other table and left. I was just observing. It’s as if they purposely avoided our table. I had to complain to one of the managers. One good experience was with Al, he check on us and recommended drinks. He listen to my complaint.. After I complained, a couple of the guys with steak came around. The guy holding the pork did come around several times but unfortunately we don’t eat pork. I will not be coming back .

   Food, service and energy of restaurant great, but a surprise on bill. A server was going around with trays containing shots of Brazils national liquor, Cachaca. When he asked if we wanted to try, we said sure assuming they were complementary. Well, got bill and they were $17 each! So that was an additional $34 on our bill, plus we tipped on the total with that added. So, a bit deceiving by the restaurant as the server never said anything about the cost.

   Definitely for meat lovers. Ambiance is good, though tables could be less crowded. Unfortunately, food quality and selection could be better. As a successor to the previous Brazilian restaurant in that area, Brazilian Barbecue, it does not compare either for taste, for salad bar or for meat quality and selection. That said, there is no similar competition, so if you are a dedicated all-you-an-eat carnivore, this is the place for you.
