I am not blaming the restaurant because the world post-covid has gone absolutely insane from an inflation standpoint. With beef as their 'go to' and chicken no longer being a 'loss leader's (now costing what steak did two years ago, it's not the restaurant's fault. However, I nearly fell out of my chair when I learned the All You Can eat lunch price was nearly $50! For this type of 'cafeteria', a total shocker. The other (better) option is the pay per pound. $17 for salad bar and meat and $20 for just meat. I did the salad bar ... you'd be surprised how much two plantains and a slice of tomato weigh! Salad bar: The rice was very good. The plantains were perfect. The French fries were surprisingly good. They had all kinds of fresh vegetables, mayonaise-covered salads and a huge variety of items. I suppose it would be worth it to get this alone ... however this is where the heavy items that add weight to the price are. Meat station: The guy serving was nice enough but spoke maybe two words of English. I speak English, Spanish and French but no Portuguese ... so we had a difficult time when it came to relating how big a slice I wanted, or how many pieces. My guess is that he is hired more for his expertise running the grill than for serving. And he did a great job as the meat was cooked perfectly. Bacon wrapped chicken ... The only disappointment of the meal. The chicken (and bacon) was dry. It really didn't taste like bacon and the only reason I finished my piece was because I had paid for it. Flank steak ... So good! The outside had a nice char with a salty, almost crunchy texture while the inside was juicy and flavorful. This was my favourite item and I actually went back to get a second plate, despite how filling it is. Garlic steak ... Incredibly salty. A little goes a long way. I didn't get any garlic taste ... it was mostly just salt. I liked it but would choose the flank steak (which is also salty) over this as the marinade made it a little drier. Pork sausage ... Very nice. I didn't notice a huge difference between the spicy and non-spicy but it was cooked really well and it was flavorful. Pineapple ... Okay, this is a must get! This was oddly my favorite part of the meal. I have never had pineapple this good. It is done on the grill with the entire pineapple and they slice pieces off. It is covered in a brown butter sauce that is so flavourful, it is certainly one of the best pineapple dishes I've ever eaten. Because there was a line and the pieces of paper with the meat choices are mostly in Portuguese, I didn't get to try all I'd have liked to ask ordering felt rushed with the line waiting behind me. The all-you-can eat will likely give you the opportunity to try a little of everything. Overall, the better value seems doing the pay by weight and going back for seconds if you are hungry. My first plate was some salad bar stuff (tomato slice, cucumber, plantains, yellow rice and a few french fries) plus a strip of flank steak, bacon wrapped chicken and a pork sausage. That was $17 and I could have stopped there. My second plate was two strips of flank steak, a strip of garlic steak, a piece of pineapple and two plantains from the salad bar. This one was $12. My total with a $2.25 lemon aid (terrible and flavorless from a jug) and a tip was around $35. Expensive for lunch ... but I probably didn't need as much steak on round 2 as I left feeling stuffed. Everything was tasty and while the atmosphere feels more like a cafeteria in a Caribbean country ... and the seating arrangement makes you snake through tables to get to the salad bar or meat station, everything seemed spotlessly clean. I will certainly return again, despite a fairly high lunch price. If there is one tip I can give you ... don't skip the pineapple from the meat station.

The restaurant was packed as expected but we had reservations so no worry. Unfortunately there were 2 large tables (6-8 people) who had already eaten and paid their bill but wouldn't leave backing up the entrance out the door. To this day I regret not confronting them about their rudeness. Please go this restaurant is filled with people who care.

The buffet needs to be changed and adjusted to reflect a more diverse selection of authentic Brazilian dishes.

The quality of the meat regarding temperature and seasoning was average. This restaurant has not been around for a very long time so I will give this one another chance down the road.

You walk in and are greeted with only a table number and a point into the other room. Which is fine except once you get there you have no idea what to do next. The plates are around a corner along with the silverware and napkins. So you have to first find them. After that you go get the buffet food and then find the place with the meat. Finally when you stand there looking like you are lost with a plate of food they will call you to a register to pay $12.99 a lb or all you can eat for $26.99. We chose all you can eat because we love Brazilian and knew we would be back for some more of that delicious meat. It was ok at best. The bacon chicken and garlic steak were the standouts. Everything else was under seasoned or very dry. My husband kept saying how little effort they put in to everything. No salt and pepper on tables. No napkins nearby. No one comes and takes plates or checks on you. You are just left to figure it out yourself. There are plenty of better places that I would choose over this one.
