    Tami M.

    The girls and I went for a 4 pm Saturday evening dinner when Ipanema first opens and when we first walked in I was impressed. I've never been to a Brazilian steakhouse before so this was very exciting to me! When we were seated the waitress explained everything and pretty much you can serve yourself from the meat/salad bar where there is enough there for a meal your meal all on its own. Then when you are seated at your table you have a card that you leave green when you would like them to keep coming around bringing meats and other surprises like their delicious pineapple. I was seriously surprised by the pineapple it was so good it was warm, flavorful and melted in your mouth I actually asked for more. When you want to take a break or are finished with eating you simply turn your card to red and then they will not serve you unless you turn it back to green. I will say that the ambiance is wonderful, the service is impeccable and the staff is extremely attentive. Your glass is never left empty and you are never wanting for more or disappointed by the quality of service you receive at Ipanema! Now as far as the food it was delicious and cooked to perfection with just a steak or two perhaps overdone ( maybe a fluke ) considering that more of the steaks and meats were done just right. At the salad bar there were a few items that we all agreed needed more flavor and could have been better and then there were other items that we could not stop eating. I really enjoyed this experience and Ipanema and was truly impressed with this restaurant and how well they serve their customers that I know I will be going back and I recommend experiencing Ipanema to you!

    The food is very high quality and delicious. Service is great and this is a great place for a special occasion. We went here for my birthday and they gave a free dessert to celebrate. We had a great time and will be back!

    Oh wow for Ocala, this place is pretty good if you are craving meat!! My top favs are the top sirloin, bottom sirloin, kale salad and mashed potatoes. The service here is quite quick. They did messed up our receipt by charging us for two extra people so just be cautious. Overall, if you dont want to drive to tampa or orlando, its not bad place to satisfy your cravings

    This was so good it was my first time at a Brazilian stake house, the different meats were really good and tender, I'm gonna dream about that Mac and cheese I want to know your secrets, it was very pretty inside, I had 1 drink I think it was the second option it had orange foam on top and it was really good and sugar rim, service was on top of everything your water never gets low, I will be coming back some day I don't live close we came for an early Valentine's Day dinner, oh we also had the Dubi brownie it was good

    Are kids under 4 years of age free, or do I have to pay?

    I suggest you call the restaurant and ask them. I doubt it would be free!

    Is there a dress code for this restaurant?

    No, but I wouldn't go there wearing workout clothes. I would suggest casual yet put together and clean. Semi-formal would be appropriate too.

    I've tried multiple times to confirm my reservation through the app but it's not showing up, is my table still reserved?

    We never have any problem confirming through Yelp.

We started with the cheese bread and pork belly guacamole - both delicious. Drinks: wife got Pina Coloda and I got the Caipirinha, both made well. We order the 3 lbs of meet and the premium meet tray with mash potatoes (garlic and great!), asparagus, sautéed vegetables and caramelized bananas. This dinner was wonderful and we came away with take home box with some left over meat. Service was prompt and took excellent care of us. Only negatives: small area, we were lucky wasn't that busy but tight accommodations. Drinks: zero refills, unless you get tap water. We will return? Absolutely. If the owner keeps this up he will soon be able to expand his operation into a larger setting.

    In the manner of all Brazilian style steakhouses, ALWAYS, ALWAYS OVERPRICED! The food is good, the…read moreservice is mediocre to nearly good service. I have no idea how they "get away" with charging such prices for their beef, chicken, lamb served with "sticky rice" (by the way on my trips to Brazil, I do not recall EVER getting lousy sticky rice - normally it is a Jasmine variety that is delicious and never sticky!) Also Black beans and a small assortment of side sauces that were decent. Oh and very soft Pao de Queso... one of my all time favorites, very much UNDERCOOKED - but I still liked it, due to the difference in cooking style. I have always had Pau de Queso well baked, with a hard crusty outer shell and a soft inner cheesy delightful center! Ani was the waitress, she is Cuban, while the remainder of the staff appears to be Brazilian, not sure, did not have the opportunity to ask. Ani worked her butt off, while the 4 others stood around watching. I hated that I had the sense of prejudice, maybe my "American" sensitivities were set off? I am a conservative, usually not looking for such BS, but this just seemed to be a bit obvious. Albeit the initial amount of people dining was 5 tables with an average of 4... she was able to do her job, but at the sacrifice of timely service to tables. The "ambiance" is fine, nothing truly distinguishes this as a Brazilian restaurant; I have been to Brazil 6 times, there restaurants do not really have anything distinguishable. Except the road side Churrasco - or those inside wayfaring gas stations... always loved those set ups! After sitting and being served for 1.5 hour, the people started to come in... and the place was full of families having a good meal! The other staff finally stepped up and did a good job! All of the staff were congenial, engaging and proactively serving, once the crowd showed up. Do I recommend this place? Yes, but only for an event where you seek a casual ambiance, decent food, pretty good service and you want a less expensive (albeit still expensive) alternative to the "high falooting" Brazilian Steakhouses like Rodizio or Texas de Brazil... those are off the charts!

    Every week our community has a food truck night, and this week happened to be Brazilicious. Since…read moreI'm a huge picanha fan, it was a no brainer that we'd have to give it a shot. We ordered the samba plate, which allows you to pick any 3 meats, so we selected picanha (cooked rare), shrimp, and sausage. Unfortunately, the steak ended up being closer to well done by the time we made it back to the house, but I think that's just the cost of taking steak to-go, and not necessarily the fault of the restaurant or chef since it's natural for it to continue cooking inside of the styrofoam box. Temperature aside, the flavor and quality of the meat was great, and you receive a very generous portion for the price. Along with the samba plate, we ordered steak fries and empanadas. Although the steak fries were pretty plain.. basically just steak plopped on top of fries, they were delicious, especially with the creamy herb sauce that is served with them. The empanadas were ginormous, and I like that the dough almost flaky rather than being super thick. We were very pleased with Brazilicious and will definitely hit them up again next time!

    Got a Brazilian sausage wrap with fries. Not sure what makes it "Brazilian" sausage, if anything,…read morebut it's a good choice of sausage for a wrap I guess. It's thick and meaty and not too soft. The pita is of the very thick and soft variety, which is naturally my favorite. The vinaigrette and sour cream sauce mix also works pretty well. The fries were just okay. In hindsight, some of the other menu items were more interesting, but I just felt like getting a wrap. I'll have try other stuff if I see this truck again.

They don't have tablecloths any more and only white napkins. When we were here before, they offered guests the choice of white or black napkins to match the color of their clothing. It also seems like the dress code has become more relaxed. When we were here before, most people seemed to dress "business causal", but today a lot of people wore t-shirts and shorts. However, it was also Saturday afternoon and I bet a lot of tourists walked from the shopping plaza and outlet mall. The front lobby/ waiting area now only has 2 chairs on the right and 1 on the left. I could have sworn they used to have a few chairs and a couch. And one of the chairs was really beat up and looked like it needed a lot of repair work. We were seated immediately, though it was 12:20 on a Saturday and they had just opened, so there weren't many people in the place. We told the waiter that we had been here before, so he didn't need to go through the introduction. We ordered some drinks and then another server immediately brought out the sides: cheese bread, fried bananas, garlic mashed potatoes, and french fries. We said we didn't want the potatoes and fries, and it would have been nice if they asked what we preferred before bringing everything out. We then got some food from the salad bar and my wife though the lobster bisque was excellent. After we were done, the waiter took our plates away. But then he never came back with plates for the meats. He also didn't ask which meat we wanted to start with. We flipped our discs to green and the gauchos started coming by. The picanha and filet mignon were very good, but the filet mignon wrapped in bacon was a little tough. We asked about it and the gaucho said it's because they have to cook the meat longer to make sure the bacon is fully cooked. We then got some more food from the salad area. About halfway through, the waiter saw that we had stopped eating and asked if we were done. We said yes, thinking that he was asking if we were done with the fruits from the salad bar. He then brought over a dessert tray and asked if we wanted a dessert liquor. I said we're not done eating the meats. Then we had more meat. Then when we were done, he started to come over with the desserts, but my wife saw him and shook her head, so he didn't come to the table. He then brought over a plate with "Happy Birthday" written in icing with a candle for me to blow out. I don't know if I was supposed to get a free dessert because it was my birthday or if that's not offered here. I assume it's not offered here since the waiter didn't mention it. Though to be fair, we were stuffed and probably couldn't fit it.
