Food is 4 stars. Tastes like authentic Portuguese bbq and they have all the right sauces like…read moregarlic aioli and chimichurri. NOTE: the beef ribs that everyone's talking about are sliced short ribs. Don't think those big bone beef ribs you get at American BBQ joints. Devil is in the details. What made this place a 3, star is that the staff doesn't introduce the menu and items well. For example, I got the beef ribs with vegetables and sweet plantains (both VERY good btw), they failed to explain that there are SPICY PICKLED VEGETABLES THAT GOES WITH IT. I took a bite of the cauliflower thinking it was the vegetables side, and spat it right out because it's the Portuguese style pickled veggies. If someone didn't eat spicy that would definitely mess them up. Ambiance? None, it's basically a small bodega with 3 pairs of booth seats and 5 bar seats. How is it colder in the restaurant than outside (it is currently March)

We opt to sit outside in the tent!! Even it was a little chilly, but their heat lamp made it very cosy.. Service is ok.. I think he was a bit disappointed when we didn't order anything to drink.. but anyway.. the food was great.. we ordered the Portuguese style steak, lamb porterhouse, chillian seabass, and roasted suckling pig.. the sauce in the steak is great!! It's nice to have a fried egg on top and don't think that the chip will be soggy afterward, mix it with the sauce and it was delicious!! Suckling pig is the best (in my opinion), the skin is crispy, and the meat is tender.. lamb porterhouse is ok, nothing too special, and the seabass is good... I mean it's hard to mess it up right?? We also ordered 2 desserts : flan and bolo de bolacha (almost like a tiramisu, but instead of lady finger, it's cookie, and chocolate syrup).. they were both good... I did ask the server about nut since my son is allergic to nuts, he said there's no nut, but when it come I saw walnut on top, I asked again and he still say it has no nut!!! Oh well... it definitely has walnut on top... my son just need to skip this one... but overall, it's a nice meal for sure!!! Oh also.. when you order water, they give you bottle water!! Just in case you want to know... it's almost $8 for it... lol

We were able to make a reservation, and the restaurant was kind enough to extend our reservation when we were delayed -- especially on one of their busiest nights of the week. Maria was exceptionally nice and helpful in making reservations. Food was delicious and enjoyable throughout all the courses. The Picanha and Beef Short Ribs were my favorites of the Rodizio. My parents split a steak entree and the salmon - the restaurant was kind enough to split both entrees on two plates for each of them. Both servings were generous. Had an Old Fashioned and a Caipirinha - both were excellent. They also have an extensive wine and whiskey menu. Service was pretty good. I would say the only hiccup was the food took forever to come, which seems strange for Rodizio. But I attribute the delay to the tardiness of two folks in our party, and a little inexperience of our server. But aside from that, he did a good job. We got to meet the manager Tatiana, who was fabulous - you can tell she cares about her craft, and the owner Joe, who was exceptionally kind and friendly. My niece and his son apparently went to the same school, so it was truly nice to make the acquaintance. I love to support small business, and it doesn't get better than this. I will make sure to stop here again soon - this was a fantastic experience.
