They no longer have the full salad bar set-up, but you're here for the meat and not the veggies. They do make incredible salads. Meats are delicious and cooked perfectly. Service is wonderful. You must try their pineapple caipirinha and passion fruit version. And don't forget Creme de Papaya con Cassis...
