THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ 99.9% of the food was EXCELLENT!!! + Picanha, Sirloin, Beef Ribs, Garlic Picanha, Lamb, Sausage, Bacon-Wrapped Chicken, Grilled Pineapple and all of the Salad Bar food was absolutely delicious. ++++ All of the mentioned pieces of steak were fresh, juicy, tender and verrrrrry flavorful. Also, the meats weren't very gamey at all, which tends to be my gripe with churrascarias. ++++ Grilled pineapple was to die for and the perfect way to complete our meal. Easily could have eaten 10 slices of this! + Salad Bar was surprisingly quite large with many different salads, pastas, rice, beans, maduros, soups and freshly sliced fruit. - The pieces of Filet Mignon were really the only disappointment as they were well done and just not very tasty. THE SERVICE ------------------- + All of the waiters were friendly and on point with their service. ++++ Very quick in clearing our plates. ++++ Refilled our water multiple times. + All of the gauchos bringing the meat skewers and carving up the meats were friendly and accommodating with letting us grab multiple slices/pieces of meat. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Supppppper spacious, clean restaurant with classy, modern decor. + Located on level 1 across from Cheesecake Factory. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We dined in at around 12:20ish on a rainy Saturday afternoon and we were the verrrrry first customers inside. In fact, there were only 3 other tables occupied during the 1.5 hours that we were there, so there were A LOTTTTT of empty tables. It was quite strange being the only customers in this large restaurant for a good 45 minutes, so they were bringing the meats out for just us! CONCLUSION -------------------- = Didn't expect that Picanha would be right up there with the best churrascarias I've ever been to, but not only are they up there with the best, but they MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE....ever!

I very much have always loved the experience of Texas de Brazil…read more I love the cheesy bread, the salad bar and tried a really yummy Brazilian soda this time around. At the salad bar, I got some cheese, prosciutto, rice, potato salad, green beans, asparagus and potatoes au gratin. The only thing I found worth getting again was the potato salad but I didn't even need it because the mashed potatoes they bring out were enough for me, they're pretty good. I didn't like how the vegetables were all cold. The potatoes au gratin were warm but weren't good in my opinion but I was here for the steak so let's get to it: Picanha top sirloin - fire honestly, my favorite. Perfectly cooked. No notes whatsoever. This heavily weighed my rating. Tri tip - Pretty good taste, could've been more rare in my opinion. Flank - Okay, a little tougher than I was expecting. Garlic steak - Tough, not garlicky enough, overdone :/ not good. Barbeque ribs - Alot of cartilage, flavor was fine, not my favorite especially when there's steak involved. Bacon-wrapped filet - it was first brought out well done so I asked if they had it more rare. The server was nice enough to put in a medium rare request for me! He came back in about 5-10 minutes and it was more medium than rare (he asked me if it was alright and I lied because I didn't want to cause more stress so that's on me lol) I will say that it was definitely more rare than that first one and was more tender than the garlic steak but it fully absorbed the bacon flavor and it was a bit too much for me to enjoy. Other notes: I avoided the chicken because I remembered that it tends to be dry and I was right based on my family's reactions. I'm not a huge fan of sausage but my brother did have three of them so they're probably good lmao. The bananas are a good palate cleanser for in between and after. Since my birthday is coming up, I got a piece of the banana's foster pie and it was good! Just could do without the nuts inside personally. I would try something else next time probably. I think overall, Texas de Brazil is a bit hit or miss but I do enjoy the experience of trying and comparing different cuts, and there are some really good ones that make it worth it especially when I've been to expensive steakhouses that definitely don't have anything as good as that amazing picanha steak.

It's loud though something to keep in mind and you need to be ready to…read moreeat a lot. if you choose the option of eat all types of meat they comes around constantly giving you meat. Until you flip to red the circle card on your table. They also have plenty selection if you prefer to eat more clean and light food. Also the bar area where you get all the salads, cold cuts, etc it's phenomenal with lots of sections for everyone. One thing I would change when I'll go back don't say yes for every meat they offer you. select the good ones of your preference or asked them for it. Example ( filled mignon) well done/ medium well/ or rare wish to me they look all almost rare not my style so make sure you tell them. They're very helpful and calls each other's to serve. Dessert we didn't have it because honestly we ate so much and our dessert was the grilled pineapple they had going around in the kebab style cutting who ever wanted. It was the BEST!!!! Caramelize pineapple on the grilled with brown sugar and cinnamon so delicious. We had an amazing time as a family together for Father's Day!

We left Fogo de Chão at Garden State Plaza extremely disappointed…read more Upon being seated, we were quickly steered toward the Full Churrasco ($74/person) experience, which is advertised as including premium cuts such as Picanha, Bone-In Ribeye, Lamb Chops, Filet, and more. Unfortunately, the reality did not match the marketing. Instead of being offered these premium selections, we were repeatedly served chicken and lower-cost meats, which filled us up long before we had a chance to try many of the cuts prominently featured on the menu. To make matters worse, when one of the premium cuts finally came around, my wife became full and saved a portion to take home. We were then told by the manager that we could not take it to go because they consider themselves a "buffet-style restaurant." This was surprising, as nowhere during the ordering process was this clearly explained, nor is that the dining experience they promote. We paid $74 per person expecting to enjoy the meats advertised and reasonably assumed that any uneaten portion of food we had already been served could be taken home. The manager repeatedly stated that it was their policy and even acknowledged that the food would be thrown away rather than allowing us to take home what we had paid for. That was frustrating and wasteful. The service only added to the disappointment. Our waitress lacked personality, provided very little explanation of how the dining experience worked, and failed to mention the no-takeout policy before encouraging us to order the most expensive option on the menu. Had these policies and limitations been clearly communicated upfront, our expectations would have been very different. For the price charged, the experience felt misleading, the service was poor, and the value simply wasn't there. We will not be returning.

Amazing food &…read moredrinks,I'm very partial to the Sangria myself Douglas & his staff will take care of your every need & make you feel right at home the desserts are also fantastic but my favorite is the Brazilian cheesecake we've been going here for way over a decade & have never been disappointed, they are that good. The place is gorgeous! So give Ipanema a visit, you'll definitely have friends for life

So starting off, I went to Ipanema Grille with my husband and wife, with a gift card. It was a…read moreChristmas gift. Not some place we would necessarily go to on our own, but it sounded fun. There was the option for Rodizio (endless table side meat with the buffet as well) or Boardwalk which is just the buffet. We chose to do the Rodizio all 3 of us. The buffet, was underwhelming. As a positive I will say each item we grabbed from the buffet was absolutely delicious, the correct temperature, and FRESH! They refill their boardwalk bar constantly. The buffet just didn't have many options. There were 2 tables basically side by side. One hot side where there was garlic broccoli, brown sugar carrots, mac and cheese, beans, rice, mash potatoes, and sweet potatoes, shrimp (which my wife adored) etc. In the middle a very amazing yucca stew. Then cold side had regular salad bar options, tomatoes, cheeses, lettuce, dressing, potato salad, pesto pasta, etc. Maybe if we went with the boardwalk option which was $39 something we would have been fully satisfied. However we did pay $70 each for the Rodizio. There were 13 meats, we were there for 2 hours and didn't try all the meats. The meats came pretty slowly with big breaks in between and some cuts of meat went right by us over and over. As well my husband and I requested medium rare, and consistently were offered well done or very well done meat. As well some of the meat was under seasoned in some cases. Some of the meat when it was actually medium rare was absolutely phenomenal, like the lamb with rosemary was all of our favorite. Again to some positives, the owner was very involved, walking around and asking everyone how they were, the entire staff was friendly. The tables were cute with candles in the middle, and the atmosphere was cozy. The place isn't very big so as more people fill in it gets a bit loud and hard to hear your gaucho say what meat they are offering, but they kindly repeated for me over and over despite my terrible hearing. The drinks seem to be amazing, we tried both sangrias white and red, and then got a pitcher we ended up taking most of home (yes they let you!). Which I thought was awesome, and the sangria is to die for! Like I said the meat was slow and inconsistent, but worse was our server, which I will not name because she was a teen and maybe this is her first job, but she consistently walked past us without checking in. Finally we flagged her down to beg for a water refill, and she refilled half the rooms water and stood talking in the kitchen for a bit, before getting us any. Now lastly to dessert. I got the liquor chocolate cake, it was delicious, but in my opinion quite small, though admittedly I'm a fat girl, so I like a good size dessert. My wife also got a dessert, the flan, she also complained it was small. They also only put like 3 strawberries on each which was disappointing because it enhanced the flavor a lot. All in all, it's a fun experience. 10/10 for kindness and vibes. 9/10 for the quality of the buffet. 7/10 for buffet variety 5 or less really, for actual service. Our bill was for three rodizios, two desserts, one beer, one glass white sangria, one glass red sangria, and a pitcher of white sangria. Mind you it was a Tuesday and they do sales of almost half price on sangria by the glass and pitcher. Our bill came out to about $308. I don't feel our experience met expectations. When we go out for anniversaries we drop $300 or more without thought and a good tip, (special occasions we go all out). So we considered if we liked this place coming back for our anniversary, but I wouldn't bother. I left a small tip for the lack of service, and would never go back. I still would recommend it to others if they have patience, maybe speak up more than I did about meat preference, and just want the experience. Go and see for yourself, but just keep in mind to be vocal about preferences, and ready to wait.

This is an extremely popular blue collar spot in Danbury that became really special to me as a undergrad student and has remained an amazing place. The Pao de queijo is amazing with the right balance of chewiness with a nice crust on the outside. Picanha and beef ribs are also outstanding-- the ribs are incredibly rich, tender and flavorful. The beans are also seasoned to perfection. Hot bar is also really nice and overall you can make a really satisfying, personalized meal for yourself at a reasonable cost. I recommend coming before 9 PM because they start running out of stuff and hot bar looks rough at night. Also definitely give the complimentary spicy peppers in oil a try-- super spicy but delicious.
