    a variety of salads
    Mori N.

    Clearly you can't expect high quality anything in an "All You Can Eat" situation....so let's get that outta the way. Here, you get what you pay for. If you're expecting a tender melt-in-your mouth filet cut, or a juicy tenderloin cut...and you get to order that over and over and over again for one base price....don't come here...that's not what this is. On the other hand, I do recommend this place...why? here's why.... If you're a carnivore like I am and at times you get these insane red meat cravings, but you don't wanna take out a second mortgage going to fancy steakhouses to meet those cravings...this is the place. The service is great. They come by constantly with their different cuts and you get to choose the temperature, which is a must for me, as I don't eat any red meat over a rare-medium rare. The appetizer buffet is plenty and hits the spot...again, don't be expecting caviar here or shrimp cocktail....not that kinda place. I think what I liked and appreciated about this place was the fact that they didn't pretend. They're like, "you like meat? we've got a lot of it and you can have as much as you want for a price that's not gonna put us out of business." Nothing wrong with that. It's all about getting what you pay for, and these guys are open and honest about it and stride it with pride.

    This review is more of a 3.5 rating. There are definitely differences to this Rio from the one downtown. I did like that there was an open buffet table for sides, salads, and some hot foods. Getting to go up myself to select what I want was great since it was complicated listing out various dishes we'd like to try when we were at the downtown location. Maybe we weren't seated at the best location, but initially a lot of the meats they circled around with skipped us. We also wanted more pão de queijo but was told they were "out". We later saw that they had another 3 baskets for other folks? You'll definitely leave full though!

    Outside sign.

    Mostly good - few minor issues. Down side - the parking around this location may seem plentiful but if you look closely not so much. One side has a sign that claims ticketing for parking at the restaurant and the other side has a time limit on the curb. Meaning there are only a few spots on the right and in back and if they are taken - out of luck. (Could be why the restaurant itself was never full.) In any case food and definitely service is pretty good. Kind of like a more stripped-down and low key Fogo de Chao, there are only a handful of side dishes and three hot items in salad bar buffet. But for regulars the meat is the key and they do it mostly right for sure. Picanha, New York, Filet, Tri-Tip are all amazing. (Don't forget to get a side of the Chimichurri sauce located end of the salad bar!) Skip the pork sausage (dry) and pork ribs (overly salty and tough!) Tried the chicken hearts - strange but may be good for some. Plus my girl had the drink sampler and they made it right in front of her. And she loved the cheese bread as well. Service tops, food selectively savory and leave time to find a spot without ticket and time hassles.

    Came by to try the churrasco here. My review is a bit biased since I have been spoiled elsewhere. See below. Parking is available in the spots surrounding the lot. Be careful. The lot is attached to the nearby strip mall as well as McDonald's, and the spots are not shared. The interior is dimly lit. Nice and spacious thanks to the high ceiling. Staff are friendly, though sparse. Had to wave them down a few times. The night we went (Sunday), there weren't too many customers. As a result, the meat was put under the warmers for a bit longer than I would've liked. Things were overcooked and the juice had dried up for a lot of the food. This applied especially to the steaks. The chicken was done well, though I suspect this was because we happened to get a fresh skewer. The place also serves lamb and ribs out of a mobile carving station, which seems different from the downtown location. Special mention. I also tried the salad bar. Nothing too special there, though one can get some vegetables there, as well as some cooked items such as steamed rice and fish. They also have feijoada (Brazilian pork and bean soup). They also serve hot pineapple slices with cinnamon. Wow this is good. Be sure to save some room towards the end. Pricing is a bit steep, at $40 a person (January 2020). Just a heads up. Overall it's one of few churrasco choices in town and it's half decent. However, for a better (but also more expensive) churrasco experience, hit up Fogo de Chao in Belluvue, WA (they have other locations too).

    Way overpriced lunch! Terrible dessert too
    Sierra J.

    My friend suggested to eat here so we decided to give it a try. Then we were told there is no a la carte, just all you can eat for $29.50 per person. The salads were ok but tomatoes mushy ... how do you screw up salad? Then the meat was good, sirloin and pork. Hard to understand the meat lady's accent though. Fries, sautéed mushrooms and green beans were decent. Then at the end the waiter asked if we wanted dessert. Thinking it was included, we ordered a Brazilian flan thing that was gross. We were charged an extra $8.50! All in all 2 stars for good meat, and decent sides. You need to continually wave them down for service and they won't ask how everything is or top up your drinks. I wouldn't go back or recommend unless someone really wanted to eat $30-$45 (dinner price) of meat. Not worth it, go to Milestones a couple doors down.

    Came across Rio Brazilian STeakhouse. It was fabulous. My party of 20 was able to reserve our seats adequately and upon arriving we were greeted. because it was our first time the waitress briefed us on the system. We had the opportunity to try various types of steaks from New York, ribeyes, brisket, lamb, chicken, sausage, chicken & bacon and many more. The portions were smaller which enabled us to try different types of meat. It was very tasty, marinated, soft and tender. Unforgettable experience. Unfortunately due to covid, there were no dancers available anymore but the staff who were serving the meat was very friendly, informative about the culture and very approachable. The traditional uniforms by the crew was lovely to see. The salad bar had so many choices. We loved the different types of salad and paella, mashed potato's & sautéed mushrooms. Definitely bringing more friends and coming back again.

The two ladies were just talking off on the side and texting on their phone all in plain sight. I understand there may be downtime in any shift but it lowers the vibe of the dining experience and also our soft drinks took forever to come to our table. just a Coke and just a sprite - also no offer for refills or asking if we wanted other drinks. the food itself took a LONG time to come out - only two entrees, no appetizers or fancy platters. once the food did come out I was surprised that everything was SO salty. also weird it's auto served with ketchup and bbq sauce. My steak had a lot of gristle on it and typically when the waitress would check in how things were I'd either mention it or they would apologize for the cut - but neither of the servers came by. I also didn't want to risk waiting another half hour for mediocre food and service. a family came in and they were seated right near us even though the restaurant was empty so that was also weird seating. when our meals were over and plates taken away eventually, we waited again for 10 minutes for someone to come by so we could get our bill. it's a weird layout because it's like the restaurant wants to be boujie but the service and food just don't meet the criteria. Needless to say it was not a good birthday dinner and I wouldn't recommend it.

Included is a Summer Corn salad, choice of entree, and daily dessert. I made a reservation for my Mom and I for Wednesday evening at 7pm and the restaurant was quite empty though golf course was buzzing. Pro tip: There is free parking in front of the restaurant but it's also for the golf course and is pretty busy even on a Wednesday after 7pm so plan accordingly as street parking is a bit far away. We ordered the mussels as an additional appetizer in white wine broth and also each ordered the $45 menu. We both selected the Oven Roasted Beef Striploin and for dessert there was a choice of cheesecake with caramel sauce, cinnamon cheesecake, and black forest cake. My Mom chose the black forest cake and I ordered the cinnamon cheesecake. The mussels appetizer dish was quite generous in quantity for $23 and mussels were a good size. Served with 2 slices of toast, the white wine sauce was more watery than other places but still decent. For the $45 course, the Summer Corn salad comes with artisan greens, feta, carrot, radish, tomato, red onion, orange vinaigrette. This was a refreshing light start to the meal and we both really enjoyed it. For the slow roasted beef striploin, it was served with asparagus and bell peppers, mash potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, and a red wine demi. The beef striploin was lean but not tough and was super trendy and juicy. Yorkshire pudding, which I'm usually not a fan of, was really warm and soft. Overall, a really solid dish that was generous in portion. Dessert was also solid for both the cinnamon cheesecake and black forest cake. We barely finished the dessert and both of us had leftovers of our entree to take home as we couldn't finish our food. Great value for a 3 course $45 meal for today's economy and the service was really friendly and warm.

Stepping into BMC is like taking a time-machine back to the 1960's. Decor looks straight out of an era when Polaroid cameras ruled the photography world. The restaurant itself is moderately sized, but they were able to accommodate our party of 12. Restaurant was very dimly lit; most of the light was coming from the setting sun. The menu had as many choices as a typical White Spot. Prices were reasonable, but entrees could be upgraded which could cause prices to escalate if you weren't prudent. For example, I ordered the steak but got the lobster upgrade which raised the price by 30%. And, it was the lower-grade Caribbean lobster instead of the much juicier Atlantic lobster. It took a long time for the food to begin arriving. But, we did have a larger party that night. But, after a long wait, all our food arrived almost all at once. Presentation was good, and portion size was adequate. My steak was medium rare even though I had requested rare. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals, and a few were unable to finish their food. Service was only okay. If they weren't taking your order or delivering your food, you didn't see much of the staff. And, the restaurant wasn't exactly busy either. We did ask a server to take a group photo of our table, and they happily obliged. I'd skip the round of golf and go straight to the restaurant.

I thought that maybe it was a line that had been added on because of New Year's Eve or at that the prices on the menu now reflected the 20% gratuity and no further tipping would be required.

Chef Henry could cook this simple dish so well that I could 100% guarantee it is hard to find such a good simple dish in Greater Vancouver. Linguine Pescatora was full of seafood (shrimps, mussels, clams, scallops, and calamari) in a light spicy tomato sauce. The seafood was fresh (not frozen ones) and the texture of linguine was firm and chewy. Everything was irresistible. We would love to visit this restaurant and try other dishes in the near future. It was worth a trip to come all the way to Port Moody and eat the pasta here. (This pasta restaurant was originally located in Vancouver West.).

We were given a few small pieces of bread with some thinly sliced meat, a tomato spread and a few pieces of Parmigianno Reggiano cheese. Hmmm...that was kind of different. Usually it's just bread with Olive oil & balsamic vinegar, or bread with some kind of spread. Adding the thinly sliced meat and the few pieces of cheese was a nice touch. I especially enjoyed the cheese! For our entrees my friend ordered Linguine e salmone, and I ordered Bucatini all Bomba. The Linguine e salmone came with a fairly large and thick piece of salmon. I was impressed with how generous the portion of salmon was for this dish. My dish was tasty but kinda paled in comparison next to the huge slab of salmon on my friend's plate. No fault of the restaurant as I had opted not to add any protein to my dish. I have a feeling if I'd added protein then there's a good chance I'd have ended up with a similar sized piece on my plate as well. Salmon for example would have cost an extra $14 to add to my dish. For that sum, I have a feeling it would be a pretty generous slab of salmon they'd be adding. I did very much enjoy the flavors of my dish. The portion of pasta looked a bit small upon first glance, but it was actually quite filling. I had just enough room after my pasta to order a Grappa Tiramisu for dessert, and as I don't come to Port Moody very often, I decided to splurge and order one. Mmmmm...sooo good. If you like Italian food, this place is quite a gem. I also love that they have a Vegetarian lasagna on their menu.

We stumbled upon this place while waitlisted elsewhere nearby but Im glad that happened. The ambiance of Povera is old timey, warm, and intimate. Tables are small and somewhat compact but it doesn't feel that way. The service was alright. The only time service fell short was when we asked for things like a straw for the drink or fresh ground pepper. Maybe staff were tired as it was the end of the night or maybe they were really busy. Regardless, we did have to ask a few times before they brought things over. Brownie points to our server though - We had a lovely server who was patient and let us take our time to review the menu. And he generously offered up the antipasto spreads and focaccia, which was delicious! The food was great. Highly recommend the focaccia. It was so good! Seasoned just right and had a great crunch. Listened to others' recommendations and got the salmon linguine. Now, it may sound simple on paper (lemon, rosemary, linguine, salmon) but it is done very well. The salmon was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The rosemary did a lot of heavylifting but wasn't overwhelming the dish. The lemon was a touch of acid to being brightness to the dish. Everything worked together. We also got the Bomba pasta with chicken. Also good, had a lot of flavours working together! The chicken also has a crisp exterior and tender interior. I'd definitely come back here for a date night or a more intimate chat with friends.
