The buffet line was full of options and everything was constantly refilled making it super fresh. Meats were also well-cooked and well-seasoned. One critique would be that they don't come around with meats as frequently, making it hard to get what you want. But other than that, services were amazing. Our waitress was great and we also got free desserts for our birthday celebration.

We went to Brasa Brazilian Steakhouse…read more We got to enjoy a dinner for two as part of our vacation stay The restaurant is big inside There is a lot of seating for groups We didn't get a chance to see the Samba dancers as we ate earlier that evening They have a large buffet with different choices I ended up eating mostly the buffet food as I don't eat much red meat Their braised salmon they had was really wonderful Our server was nice and the gauchos were nice Unfortunately the chicken options they had were overly salty The chicken thigh was way too salty The bacon wrapped chicken was okay I tried the rump steak steak but found too well done along with the ribeye I prefer the other spot in Niagara over this and unfortunately won't be coming back

Touro is a Brazilian Steakhouse where the waiters walk around with a selection of meats (and…read moresometimes shrimp) for you to select from. It's all you can eat. There are 2 locations north of Toronto, north essentially the same. It a large open space with tables far enough apart that you don't feel like you're sitting right next to strangers. There are a few appetizers like the cheese bread and some grilled vegetables. These are bland and have no real flavour. Their corn bread, however, is fantastic. The meat variety is good. Of course, they have picanha (a Brazilian cut of meat), Parmesan sirloin steak, sausage, chicken, grilled pineapple, shrimp, and others. They have beans and rice too. The staff walk around constantly and offer food. They're friendly and are happy to give you an extra piece of meat if that's the one you really like. These reason for 4 stars is that its nearly impossible to get meat that's prepared medium or well done. Not all my family likes rare/medium rare, and while it's possible to request well done, it takes 15-20 minutes to get 2 little pieces of meat by which time you're ready for more and have to wait another 15-20 minutes. This, while all the others are busily eating.

Finally checked out Touro and I have to say, compared to Copacabana, I still prefer Copa overall…read more Touro does have a nice atmosphere -- it feels a bit more suitable for special occasions like birthdays. The space is lively and the service is attentive, which makes the experience enjoyable. As for the food, the variety is decent, and the meats are generally well-seasoned and flavorful. I especially liked the grilled pineapple -- it was juicy and nicely caramelized. However, if you're not a fan of cinnamon, this might not be your favorite, as the flavor is quite noticeable. Overall, it's a good experience and worth trying at least once, but in terms of variety and overall balance, I personally still lean towards Copacabana.

Sabor Carioca serves excellent Brazilian food, including classics such as feijoada (Brazil's…read morenational dish, which is only served on weekends). Its location is the former site of another Brazilian restaurant (Sabor Brasil). They kept much of the exterior signage, interior, and most of the menu items the same / very similar to the restaurant that previously occupied the space. We came here specifically to try the Moqueca De Peixe Com Camarão & Arroz E Pirão (grouper fish & shrimps stew with tomatoes, green peppers, onions, cilantro, and coconut milk), and it did not disappoint! The stew was so flavourful and they gave a lot of grouper fish and big shrimps in the pot. I really liked the tomatoes and cilantro in the stew. It came bubbling hot, with Brazilian fish gravy served in a smaller pot beside it. It was served with garlic-infused rice that was just as flavourful. Tip: Order farofa (toasted cassava flour) alongside any stew dish, then mix it with the stew. The textures complement each other very well. The Grilled Salmon was also really good. It was flavourful and I could see and taste the charred grill mark. It came served with rice (also infused with garlic) and choice of side. I chose a side of vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, carrot, green beans) and they were excellent! In addition to the main dishes, we ordered a large House Salad (nice, simple, and refreshing), Brazilian Tomato Slaw (for extra veggies - also refreshing), and Farofa (a must-get every time I go to a Brazilian restaurant). Everything we tried was delicious x100. Food came out in a decent amount of time, and service was nice and friendly. The ambience was very casual with Portuguese music playing in the background. I definitely recommend this place if you want to try authentic Brazilian dishes in a casual setting!

So, when my family was looking for somewhere to gather for an early Father's Day connect. I quickly suggested Copa. So, disappointed in the entire experience and very embarrassed after how great I told my family it would be and everyone was extremely unhappy with the experience. You would think a group that large with the cost of this place would get some reasonable service, the entire staff literally overlooked our group. They would tell the kids they are coming back with things like pineapple that they were excited about and never came back. The management and servers should get a better flow and order to how the meats come out. The servers seem like they all forget where they stopped last and then they just never get around to some tables. There should be some kind of memory to what tables you went to before you ran out, and where to pick back up once you get back on the floor. $1400 for a dinner where all our men left hungry. We kept reminding the server that we had not seen any meat for over 30 minutes, and she said she would address it then the manager said the same, and still we were charged full price with 25% of the experience. Will never say positive words about Copa again. Complete waste of our time and money. No consideration from the staff. And after the hour were we had only 4 meats come to the table and the servers saying they can only give guests 2 small pieces of meat at a time, they started to again not appear then stop coming completely. I would dispute this charge that's how bad it is, as a person who happily spend over $300 on a meal for my self if the food and service is great. This was one of the most disappointing culinary experiences service and order wise I have ever encountered. Please do better

The interior is lively and well-designed, with good music and an energetic vibe that makes it a nice spot for a night out. The food itself was solid, when it came. On paper, the all-you-can-eat and drink Tuesday for $80 sounded like excellent value. At the start, service was fast and attentive for about 30 minutes, with meats coming around regularly. Then, very abruptly, it slowed to a crawl. Servers stopped coming by altogether, and we had to wave people down, often unsuccessfully. At times, we were simply ignored. A few other drawbacks: - Drinks tasted noticeably watered down - An 18% gratuity was added without prior notice, which was frustrating given the service issues - The service flow seems designed to push sides more than meats, which hurts the AYCE value unless you're very proactive That said, the value can be there if you're strategic and maximize portions when the meats come around and don't hesitate to ask directly. Just be prepared for uneven service and some effort on your part. Overall Copacabana has a great ambiance, decent food, but inconsistent service and transparency issues make this place fall short of what it could be.

Washrooms were downstairs which would not be accessible if someone had mobility concerns. Upstairs table to chair height slight mis match low table. Street parking available and ttc accessible. Food the appetizer fried cheese ball squares with the spicy pineapple chutney was amazing. The fried chicken ball nothing special. Ordered the skewer meat and sausage with peppers came with beans and vinegarette and some cornmeal like carb rice and fries came way before the meat spit. Server also dropped out peppers and onion from the spit to the table and said he would replace it but never did. Also Had to ask the server what to do with it as with most of the meal had to ask how to eat it. The hot sauce on the table was good however not coming out of the bottle had to be switched. I asked the server for water for the table and was never given and my cup of water was not refilled and having to ask. Service was not so good though server was new said everything was good so I'm skeptical. The pork mash and veggies entre was good not out of this world but good. Filling yes worth the price debatable. Question remains would I come back? I could probably go to a Brazilian steakhouse to get more meat for dollar value. The only thing I would come back for is the fried cheese squares. To each their own.

It was still happy hour so there were drink specials. We started at the salad bar, too many choices to choose from, always a plus. The lobster bisque was real good and the potato choices were all good. They brought a plate of French fries to the table for the kids and those cheesy rolls melt in your mouth. The meats are served table side, they are sliced to your specifications. Your choices include sausage, pork, chicken , ribs and lamb. I suggest you go hungry and pace yourself so you get to try everything you want. We did end with dessert for the boys. They ordered the cheesecake & chocolate cake and said it was all good. The salad bar is constantly filled, dirty dishes taken away, clean restaurant and very relaxing atmosphere.

Great Gaucho style restaurant in the hotel zone at the Falls. It's slightly different from other…read moreplaces like this we've been to before in that they don't have an appetizer buffet, but instead a variety of sides and dishes you can order, aside from the meat. We tried several of the sides and especially liked the beef carpaccio, the chicken croquettes and the grilled mushroom. We got to try pretty much all the meats on the menu and while they were all good, we really liked the cheese stuffed prime rib, the Hawaiian strip loin and the bacon wrapped filet mignon. Our server, Ashley, was very friendly, helpful and attentive. She repeatedly apologized when there was a lull in meat coming by, though she doesn't really have any influence over how fast things come out, aside from telling the meat-servers what we wanted. We didn't really mind, because it gave us some time to talk and digest before getting more meat. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely come back when we're back in the area.

A NY Times food critic recently wrote, "What I really want from a restaurant is a quiet, well-lit…read moreplace where I can read the menu." This restaurant checks none of those boxes. Firstly, parking: It's all free, but the lot adjacent to the restaurant has 20 spaces for a business that seats 200 people. Arriving cars are to wait at the curb outside for the white shuttle to arrive, then follow this to a free parking place two blocks away. Reverse the process to leave. It's difficult to enter and exit a high van in a tight skirt and high heels. Just saying. We arrived just in time to see the 8pm floor show, but the music was so loud I was praying for it to end. To order from the menu for AYCE side dishes, you have to have a phone that can scan the QR code: No printed menu was forthcoming, and the print on my cell phone was too small for my husband to read. The music was so loud it made conversation impossible, so I made the choices. The kitchen had already run out of mashed potatoes, and green chimichurri sauce by 8pm, and they seat until 11pm on Saturdays. I was not impressed. There's a chaotic way the servers with the meats circulated. Some tables were served steak three times while we were never served. It's a $90 per person meal where drinks and desserts are extra, our table wobbled horribly, and we couldn't speak to each other. It was the opposite of hospitality. How loud was the music? I'm writing this the next morning and my ears are still ringing. There are many other steakhouses on this side of town: Brasa, Ruth Chris, STK. Next time, I'll try one of them.
