Party of 6; our main waiter was attentive; good salad bar. That’s where it ends. The meat selections were overcooked and unseasoned, when we could get any! Never saw some of the advertised meats. Seems the table of 4 next to us was kept in good supply, then, we were sometimes skipped, or they would run out. The last time I was here, a few years ago, it was much better. I was hugely disappointed in my experience this visit. Very pricey for basically a salad bar !

We even had one person wanting only well done - no problem!

The food was delicious (we loved the lamb chops and the Picanha were to die for ) and HOT! The servers and meat carvers were so pleasant and made the experience great! The side and salad bar were great-we just wished there was a bit more variety ! Overall it was an amazing experience !
