New favorite Brazilian steakhouse, better than the other famous name. I believe that if majority of the guests in an international cuisine restaurant are from that original region, it's approved by the local "experts". The guests in the restaurant proves the authenticity. I absolutely love their top loin, filet mignon and chicken heart, and everyone's favorite grilled cheese (can't have enough of it). Their waiter and waitresses are all very friendly. Booking a table was easy. read more

I think this is the most underrated of the popular Brazilian steakhouses in town. The servers are friendly, the meat is seasoned and cooked well, the buffet is slightly smaller but made up in the quality of the food overall. Every piece of steak was super tender and juicy. I'd highly recommend! read more

This is a great spot. I love Brazilian steakhouses and have been to many. The service here is fantastic. The atmosphere is elegant and peaceful. This is a great spot for a casual lunch or fancy night out. The food is always fresh, the meat always tender and juicy. Even when it's slow, they aren't serving yesterday's leftovers. I highly recommend this restaurant and I'll come back every time I'm in town. read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would! My husband and I have never been to a Brazilian steakhouse before and this did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, the hostesses were so nice and friendly, and when we got the table they took off our coats for us and pulled out our seats. Every single waiter/waitress made you feel like you were the only customer there and the experience was like no other. We were laughing the entire time because we were having so much. You are able to try out so many fine, quality, meats for one price, instead of going to a traditional restaurant and paying full price for something you might not like. The food was DELISH. My husband loves meat (esp steak), so for him this was a dream come true. They have so many different meats of really high quality. They are constantly coming around with new things to try but don't make you feel pressured to try anything! We felt so well taken care of and left with full and happy bellies. We will certainly be back! read more

We ordered takeout dessert for my birthday since it's right beneath our hotel. They told us 10 minutes on the phone...fast forward to an HOUR later. Still no dessert. We had to remind the bartender and she came out with it. I assume it had just been sitting around while we waited. They basically forgot they'd told us to wait for it at the bar then tried to blame us for not getting it. The molten chocolate cake wasn't even molten. It was cold and hard. Then they presented us with one bill--we assumed they'd comped things due to the egregious service--only for them to run one of our cards for 4x the amount we thought! Without running it by us first. At a place of this caliber you'd expect much much better. read more

Food was amazing. Actually authentic Brazilian food, unlike Fogo de Chão. Wasn't that busy when we went but buffet was still fresh. The meat is top notch and it's always coming! Service was also amazing, always being greeted and checked on. read more

We could not have asked for a more perfect birthday dinner. From ambiance to customer service, they have it all. Everyone in the staff is so attentive which almost makes you feel like family. This was our first time of hopefully many! Thank you to all of you. Thiago, Andres, Sherry, Vinicius and many more. Keep being great and this place should easily keep its 5 stars! read more

Stopped in for lunch, had the salad bar, wife and I loved it! Highly recommend. Huge salad bar with all the trimmings plus rice and a Brazilian beans. Will be back!! read more

I decided to treat myself to a steak for lunch today. Sadly I chose to order one from Alma Gaucha. What was supposed to be a nice rare picanha was an overcooked hockey puck with absolutely no flavor. What a complete waste of money and calories. read more

Why would anyone go to Fogo de Chao with this in town? Similar prices but better meat, and amazing sides (I tried to save my stomach for mostly meat, but even so couldn't resist having multiple cheese bread puffs and fried yucca sticks). Just wish they had some dessert options in the salad / unlimited sides bar. read more

This place is amazing! Friendly staff, food is unbelievably fresh, restaurant is spotless!! Prices and service are top notch!! Much better than the chain Brazilian steak houses, highly recommended! read more

Hands down recommend this restaurant! We went with a large party of 9 including kids and the service was prompt, attentive without being too obtrusive. The cuts of meat were seasoned well and the temp requested was served accordingly. The picanha was one of my favorite cuts as well as the classic filet mignon. It was difficult not filling up on the salad bar, cheesy bread, and Parmesan polenta but we did save some room! Also there was plenty of easy off street parking and valet service was offered as well. Do yourself a favor and try it! read more

Excellent food, perfect if you like protein-heavy meals. Besides all the meats, they have amazing maple bacon at the buffet, and I highly recommend the corn chowder. They also have amazing cold smoked salmon, fried polenta sticks, and soft, fluffy, cheesy bread rolls. The staff are very friendly and gracious. This would be a great outing for a large group of people with diverse tastes. read more

Overall the entire experience was good. Positives, most of the meat was cooked nicely and very well seasoned. The leg of lamb was hands down me and my friends favorite. Service from the waiters, back staff and management was extremely attentive, kind and professional. 5 stars for the service. The selections from the cold bar and sides they brought to the table were decent. Negatives, some of the gauchos were not as attentive as the waitstaff. There were guys with meat that passed right by our table multiple times when I had my coaster flipped to green. As a result I didn't receive the rack of lamb and I think a couple other items. But received seconds on items I wasn't really wowed by, which were also obviously the cheaper cuts. I also never saw classic filet mignon even though it was mentioned in previous reviews. They did bring by bacon wrapped filet mignon but it was medium well. Which I don't really blame them too much for. In order to get the bacon properly rendered and cooked through on a smaller piece of steak its tricky not to have the meat overdone. And I've had bacon wrapped filet at other Brazilian steakhouses and it was also always overcooked. I've never been to the fogo de chao in Boston but went to the one in Orlando and I have to say I preferred it to this place. The meats and quality of were pretty close, however the cold bar was like twice the size at fogo and I received all the variety of meats at fogo including nice big portions of medium rare filet mignon. Still 4 stars though because this place I believe just opened and I never like giving negative reviews to new restaurants because it always takes time to work out the kinks. And as I mentioned overall the experience was positive and well worth the $50. read more

Best Brazilian steakhouse in Boston by farrrrr! The drinks are amazing and the all the meats are prime and you get like 8 different types!!! The service is spectacular and very formal and the two managers are the nicest most welcoming hosts I've ever had Great sense of Brazilian culture but also makes you feel like your home read more

The food is delicious. The staff is awesome, friendly and accommodating. Stopped in for drinks and some apps one night and came back the next for drinks and takeout. Next time I'm in Boston, I'm definitely stopping by. read more

Ordered takeout. We we're staying at hotel literally above it. Asked for no seasoning on food and adequate utensils to cut meat which we were assured of "no problem". Received cold clam chowder and heavily seasoned food, along with plastic utensils that even Dunkin' would consider flimsy. Food seemed precooked and maybe under a warmer. Not freshly cooked. We had hotter, fresher food delivered from Grub hub from restaurants across Boston. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant. For being in Seaport, the location was easy to get to and there was plenty of street parking even on a Thursday night. The food served is outstanding and the wait staff treated us like family. We had reserved for a party of 12 but had an extra person. They readily added another table without any hesitation. Surprisingly all of the cuts of meat were of high quality for an all you can eat restaurant. The soup and salad bar had a wide variety of options and was fresh while tasting delicious. This is definitely a must try restaurant! read more

What a place!!!! Everything at this restaurant is amazing, went on a Sunday to have lunch with my husband and couldn't be more happier with the experience. The food is absolutely delicious, so many options and everything freshly made! Caipirinha was also delicious! The service was GREAT!!!! If i can give 10 stars I would. Definitely recommend read more

Pretty good overall. I would say it is on par with Fogo de chao but some of the meats can be overdone or too salty here. The cheese bread and service at Fogo is also a little bit better. They advertise prime grade meat but some of the cuts I tasted were tough and went straight to the napkin. I would stick mainly with the fillet and picanha. read more

Great service and quality of steak. Drinks were amazing as well! Can't wait to go again.

We came here for lunch. Service was so slow. The drinks were good and strong. When we finally got our sides we didn't get everything we ordered. They were small plates and not enough for the entire table. We felt like we were rationing it which isn't a feeling you should have at a buffet and especially when you are paying so much. When it finally ran out we asked for more and it never came. Neither did the items we ordered but never received. Eventually we did get them once we were done eating. The meats delivered were good but they didn't have the full selection of meats. No chicken items. They were nice enough to make some chicken specifically for me but it was so dry I could barely eat it. I feel bad because they tried and I think they were just very understaffed and couldn't keep up. Maybe only go at night when they are fully staffed and have all the food options. read more

Amazing meat and drinks. Come hungry. Make sure to ask for any cuts you don't see they will come with them right away. Best service for a Brazilian bbq. read more

Food is just fine. They don't have many options. I Liked the deserts. The service is very good. But I think is very expensive, considering the variety of food. $50 dólars for person. Crazy. read more

My first trip in Boston and celebrated my birthday here in Alma Gaucha. I tried many brazilian grill around LA and Las Vegas but I might say this is one of the best! The staff and crew were also welcoming, thumbs up when it comes to customer service. I'll definitely recommend and come back to this place. read more

Very nice place and people. As in most good Brazilian restaurants they keep coming around with skewers of different types of meat and you eat until you tell them to stop. The area with side dishes was filled with fresh Brazilian dishes and I would highly recommend this place. read more

I'm Portuguese and have family in Brazil. Been to rodizio type places my whole life. This place was awesome! Meat was great and they kept bringing the good cuts not like some other places that only send over mostly the lower quality stuff. Loved it! Gotta go. And owner met us and he was awesome! read more

My family and I lost power on the South Shore after an October Nor'easter. After 3 days without power, we decided to get a hotel room @ Aloft. All of us hadn't eaten since breakfast and had no idea what food options the Aloft had. We went to AG on a whim, as it was the only real restaurant in the hotel. We didn't even know it was a Brazilian steakhouse until we sat down. All I can say is WOW. This may have been the 2nd best meal I've ever had in my life. The salad bar was just a starting point but everything was delicious! From the candied bacon to fresh hard Parmesan to black beans to delicious tomatoes. Then, these amazing side dishes show up -- popovers for the table and fried bananas and polenta - both spectacular. But the the MEAT arrived. What do you mean you don't eat no MEAT! Wow. My favorite had to be the house special (prime rib). The server would actually cut a fresh outside piece for both my son and me, so we'd each get extra flavor and salt. The sirloin was also very good (until I tried the prime rib!) and the bacon wrapped chicken was to die for. My wife and daughter both loved the salmon too. The service was impeccable and waiter was incredibly attentive. The desserts were also incredible - we had the crem brulet and chocolate cake. The only one tiny thing I would have to say negatively was the host didn't explain the "system" very well -- how you have to turn over your card to "no" to stop getting meat. So for a while we were almost bombarded with meat. But once we figured it out it was fine. We 100% will be back. Certainly not a cheap dinner, but if you're looking for everything you eat for 2+ hours to burst with flavor and be perfectly salted, this place is for you! read more

Fantastic spot for when your belly is empty. Service was incredible and cleanliness was great. Delicious food and such a hospitable staff. We'll be back!! Enjoy read more

I had brunch today at the new and well managed Alma Gaucha! The service was excellent and wait staff worked as a team to make sure that our plates were changed and our drinks were filled. The food was like no other. The meats were cooked to perfection and the salad bar was out of this work. I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Every time I leave here I say it's the best meal I've ever had! Not only is the food outstanding , but the staff is amazing. They really go above and beyond to make sure the service is excellent!! read more

I've been going to Fogo for many years and felt like it has declined over time. Alma Gaucha is a much better version of Fogo, what that place used to be years ago. A bit expensive which is why I'm not giving 5 stars, but if you want Brazilian bbq in Boston, then Alma Gaucha is your best option. read more

prices totally incompatible with the menu and the service provided.

Food was amazing and the hostess was so attentive and kind. Went to lunch with my family and felt very well taken care of. Everything we tried was delicious! read more

Amazing!!!!! I am an American and my husband is Brazilian. We have checked out every Brazilian restaurant in Massachusetts. Alma Gaucha is phenomenal . Prime cuts of meat that are constantly circulating the floor, a top line salad bar and a delicious bar. Service was attentive and constant and friendly. The owner was circulating as well and I do not think we have met a nicer person. Overall A+ in everything. read more
