   Two of our party ordered the Full Churasco- meat cuts very good quality and well seasoned. I had the Chilean sea bass which was delicious. Staff was nice but what waitress was not as attentive - got busy.

   We were there to celebrate a birthday and were not disappointed! Food was good; service was great. The market bar was well balanced! We will be back for sure!

   Half of Meat options were wrapped in pork… Meat was consistently overcooked and lacked seasoning. Very expensive and over priced compared to better stakehouses

   Service is severely lacking at this restaurant. No one standing at and manning the front desk but despite multiple servers seeing people congregate at the front, there is no one to check you in for the longest time. Despite multiple servers, it took another 4 minutes before menus were given out and another 4 minutes before someone took our order. The server barely contacted us about 4 times during a 2 hour meal. The contact level is too low for a restaurant that is not that busy. The meats are all overcooked and oversalted. They're hot when they arrive to table, which is good, but none are a rare to medium rare. Several pieces looked like burnt charcoal and some parts tasted like licking a salt packet. The salad bar has too few items compared to most Brazilian steakhouses. One soup, one type of white rice, one type of bread. It's likely the last time I will go to this particular location.

   Had such a great time celebrating my birthday there and our waitress, Jaydin, was so kind and patient with us. Thank you for the good service, food and being so helpful, Jaydin!

   Maybe because it was a weeknight. We asked for churrasco several times that if we wanted more, we just gave up, paid and left. Plus, after a certain time, they started skipping our table even if our indicators were still green. Did they not cook or have enough meat to cook? We’ve been here a few times before and this was the first not so good experience.

    Our server Ryan was attentive and helpful. We were more than pleased with the Market Table. Drinks were slow and a tad sweet I had the Passion fruit mimosas. Brunch is a nice time to go
