I came here for a group dinner, so my experience will be different than most diners, but I must say…read moreto start, the restaurant handled the large party very well and the food was terrific! About a 100 of us arrived and they directed us to a large room with a balcony overlooking the river- gorgeous. We had an open bar as well as a wine table. The servers brought appetizers which were tasty and after about an hour of mingling, we sat down to eat. The food was served Family Style, an assortment od salad and sides were brought to the table. followed by the meat parade. It was the typical Brazilian Churrascaria style- the cheaper cuts first, followed by the more expensive cuts. However, all the meat was great, still I held out for my favorite- Picanha! To be honest- the tenderloin was the star of the evening, I was a bit disappointed in the Picanha. Overall, it was a great meal, food good, staff attentive and friendly. I was impressed as to how well they handled our very large group. I would love to come back and experience the restaurant at a single table, but if this party was any indication, the experience would be stellar!

I have been to several Brazilian restaurants, and this is probably the worst that I have ever…read moreexperienced. The meat selection was extremely limited. The seasoning was not representative of what I am used to when I think of Brazilian food. The sides of beans came directly from the can without any seasoning. The bowl of side dishes were the size for a little child. The variety of meats was extremely limited. I requested sausage 10 times, before actually receiving a sausage. The servers were not sure of the type of meat that they were providing. The servers were kind and beautiful; however, they were not trained and how to create an experience of the Brazilian nature. The atmosphere was great, but the food didn't match what I received.

Did I enjoy the experience - it was OK; Was the food good - it was OK, but not to the level I was expecting; Service - was OK, although any requests for additional booze and food tended to be forgotten and had to be asked for several times, the people were lovely though; All you can eat - maybe not, you have to try hard to catch the attention of the staff if you want more than the set serving, that said there was a reasonable amount of food - i.e. it was OK; Would I go again - I'm glad I have tried it but would not rush back, that said I'd not object to going if someone else was particularly driven to go, it's probably aiming itself at (mostly) satisfying the tourist who would only be expected to visit once rather than cultivating a loyal following of locals, so on this basis it probably fulfilled the realistic brief, rather than the lofty and maybe slightly unrealistic aspirations I had for the place.

We found parking in the street, however there is a parking garage below that you can enter from either of the side streets. Upon arrival you are presented with the menu. There is a large menu ranging from all different types of brazilian food. They have an English option if you don't speak Portuguese. I decided to get the Picanha (rump steak) and my partner got the Sausage Plate. To drink we got Garana and for dessert we got Brigadeiro. All of our food came out after a short wait and was cooked perfectly. It was all served fresh off the grill and seasoned with the right amount of everything. The portions are big so definitely come hungry! I can't wait to be a frequent customer. Highly recommend!

It is very casual so no need to dress up for it. There are parking spots right out front. Upon entering we grabbed a table and read over the menus. Of course I had to order the Picanha as that is my favorite cut of meat. I also ordered cheese balls to start, Guarana to drink, and Brigadeiro for dessert. The cheese balls were delicious, a little different from the pão de queijo I'm used to but still melt-in-your-mouth good. The picanha was accompanied with rice and salad (it comes with beans too, but I opted out) and was cooked perfectly! The Guarana soda was delicious as always. However the Brigadeiro was phenomenal! Ive had it before and this one was one of my favorites. So happy to have found this Brazilian spot as I will be retuning often!

We had a Bife a Cavalo and Feijoada dish, plus some pastel, coxinha, and churros (of course the Brazilian way with Doce de Leite) and all were great. The meat in the Bife a Cavalo dish was a picanha cut, which was excellent. The feijoada (only on Saturdays) was very good. Lots of meat, served traditional style with Cove and slices of orange.
