Also people were loading plates of just craw fish it was really interesting. And the fried snow crab. I tried a craw fish I liked it.

I rarely leave reviews like this, but my experience at Encore Boston Harbor was bad enough that I…read morefeel obligated to warn other business travelers. The problems started before I even arrived. I was traveling from Logan Airport and followed Encore's own website instructions for the shuttle. Those instructions were wrong. Because the hotel had not updated its posted pickup location, I spent roughly an hour walking around downtown Boston in the rain trying to find the shuttle. I called twice for help and spoke with two different representatives, both of whom were deeply uninterested and unable or unwilling to provide useful assistance. When I finally found the correct shuttle area, I waited even longer in the rain, only for the driver to tell me and two other passengers that we needed to get on a different shuttle that was already pulling away from the curb. We literally had to chase it down to catch it. Because of this, I missed a work meeting. Unfortunately, arriving at the hotel did not improve the experience. After standing in an excessively long check-in line, I finally got to the front desk, where the staff confidently insisted that I needed to pay the full room amount, even though my company had already paid for the reservation. At that point I was exhausted, wet, and late, so I paid it just to get into the room. Now my office manager is having to argue with the hotel because staff are apparently claiming I never had a reservation at all -- which is especially strange given that I am currently sitting in the room, and we have an emailed receipt showing that the room was already paid for. Even worse, the staff member speaking with my office manager has reportedly been snarky, condescending, and dismissive while she tries to resolve a problem created by the hotel's own systems. Rather than helping investigate the discrepancy, he appears to be treating her as though she is confused or incompetent. That is unacceptable customer service under any circumstances, but it is especially galling when she is the one trying to clean up Encore's billing and reservation mistake. This was not one minor inconvenience. It was a cascade of failures: incorrect transportation instructions, unhelpful phone support, chaotic shuttle coordination, a missed business meeting, a miserable check-in process, an apparent duplicate charge, and now a billing/reservation dispute being handled with condescension instead of professionalism. For a hotel that markets itself as a luxury resort, this was genuinely embarrassing. Nothing about this experience felt organized, hospitable, or guest-focused. It felt like a high-end property with low-end operations and staff who could not be bothered to solve problems they helped create. Encore Boston Harbor may be a great place to stay if you enjoy being wet, late, overcharged, dismissed, and treated like an inconvenience. I will not stay here again, and I would strongly caution business travelers against relying on this hotel for anything that requires competent logistics, accurate billing, or basic customer service. Beautiful building. Broken operation. Absolutely not worth the aggravation.

Everything was done right in my opinion, and the food choices were great for it being a smaller buffet. The price is awesome, $20 for dinner on the weekends, and that included tax.

The only negative thing about this fantastic buffet was their subjective pricing. As other…read morereviewers mentioned they sometimes change you more per pound (if you're paying per pound) if you have "more meat than buffet items." I tried to balance out my plate to be half and half and scored the 14.49 rate but if the staff thought I had too much meat I would have paid 19.99 per pound instead. lol. Otherwise I was a fan, the meat was tender juicy and flavorful (especially the steak) and the buffet items were really good as well (polenta and fried plantains were standouts) The wait staff were just okay, my waitress was just standing near the front and I tried to get her eye contact but that didn't work so when the manager came by to check on me (she didn't) I asked him if he could send her to pay. Overall a decent experience but because of their pricing model I won't likely come again.

It was our first time and we just got in line, luckily, someone let us know we had to go up and leave our name with the guy holding the tablet ; there were no directions/signs or staff to direct. Despite the crowd, we were seated in about 20ish minutes. We did the per pound option instead of AYCE and that's what most folks were doing. Service, once we were seated, was attentive, food was good. They could have done a better job at keeping the buffet options stalked, they were out of 3 options. This is definitely a more casual place, no frills and closer to an everyday Brazilian churrascaria. Overall, it was fine, if I were in the neighborhood and looking for a bite, I would stop in again.

After picking your sides, you choose from sliced fresh meats, which are added to your plate. Once everything is selected, your plate is weighed and you pay based on the weight. If you're dining in, you can then sit down with your plate and order drinks. If you're doing takeout, you simply take your box to go. The food was tasty overall, and the meats were definitely the highlight. I wasn't as impressed with the hot bar items--they were just okay--but we did go later in the day, which may have affected freshness. Overall, it was a nice meal and a good introduction to Brazilian food. We also noticed they have a bar area with TVs that looked really nice, though I'm not sure if food from the buffet is allowed in that section.

Primeiramente, eu já fui abordado com o atendente me advertindo sobre o aumento dos preços. (de $25 para $27) será que faz diferença? Gosto de deixar claro que Eu não pergunto preços quando eu saio para jantar. Eu simplesmente peço, pago e agradeço pelo servico. Vamos lá. No momento de preparar o marmitex, a atendente ficou com receio de colocar comida na marmita (Será que uma colher a mais de arroz e feijão tropeiro iria afetar o financeiro da empresa?) A atendente Nem sequer se importou em me perguntou se eu gostaria de um pouco mais ou se aquele tanto estava no meu agrado (lembrando, eu não questiono preços). Na hora de colocar o churrasco na marmita, tive a sensação de que o churrasqueiro não teve treinamento ou preparo adequado (cortes mau feito e o gosto da carne não era o dos melhores). Nesse novo pedido, Eu quis pessoalmente solicitar o preparo porque nas últimas vezes colocaram carne queimada na marmita. No geral, manifesto a minha total insatisfação e eu jamais recomendaria esse restaurante para meus amigos, tampouco para terceiros.

The quality of the meats is consistently excellent, and the side dish bar alone is worth the trip. An entire spread of banchan where you take as much as you can handle. Everything is fresh, and the flavors are incredible every single visit. What keeps me coming back beyond the food: the service is fast and friendly, and you're never rushed out the door. I've interacted with the owner multiple times over the years -- efficient, welcoming, and clearly cares about running a great restaurant. The ambiance rounds it all out. One practical tip: give yourself extra time for parking. There's a lot in the back plus metered street parking on the front, side, and back, but weekends can get tight. Plan for it and you're golden. Eight years of consistency doesn't happen by accident. Highly recommend.

I went to Oliveira's in East Boston with my friend for a pre-holiday dinner. We did the buffet for…read moretwo, had a couple of juices, and also grabbed a small plate to go for my partner at home. Overall, the meat was good, which is what you hope for at a Brazilian steakhouse. The lamb is always a hit, but the steak was also nicely cooked and perfectly salted. However, some of the items at the buffet bar were underwhelming and didn't quite match the quality I've experienced before. The cheese bread was cold, and the fried yucca lacked flavor. A few other buffet items also felt like they had been sitting out for a while. The total came to about $135 (before tip) for what we ordered, which felt steep given the food quality and overall experience. In hindsight, I wish I had asked for an itemized receipt to better understand how everything was priced. Service was mixed. The guy carving the meat was excellent and definitely a highlight, but beyond that, the service was pretty meh. All things considered, I'd probably skip the East Boston location next time and head back to Oliveira's in Somerville, where the food and service have consistently been better. At this price point, I might even opt for Fogo de Chão instead.
