We met our party there. They were already seated. We were greeted by our server Estrella soon after we sat down. Very friendly and polite server who made suggestions from the menu based on her knowledge of the foods offered. After we ordered our food it came to our table within reasonable time. They don't have a vegetarian menu but there are some things that you can order from the side dishes and a cauliflower appetizer. I ordered the roasted roots and vegetables side dish. My only disappointment with that was that half my plate was taken over by not so roasted onion. It was more of a mildly charred onion than a roasted one. I only ate two or three bites of it before deciding I had enough of that. The chimichurri and citrus cream served with this side dish were both yummy. Each one a nice balanced contrast to one another. My husband had the guisada. His dish presentation was nicely done. It's a hefty portioned dish too. He was satisfied with the flavor and said that he would order it again. The tea I had was very watered down and because the glass is rather small, I had to ask for multiple refills. A regular sized glass and less watered down tea would be nice. They seem to have a large bar selection and a good enough wine selection as well. We were celebrating a birthday and they provided a small, beautiful, tasty cake for the celebration. The ambiance was modern and tastefully done. The bathroom was clean. I'm gonna have to say that Ruben, the manager, went above and beyond. Good people skills. Great customer service. They definitely need to keep him and Estrella at this place. Congratulations Brownsville on this fantastic restaurant! read more

A Disappointing Dining Experience My husband noticed the 4.6-star rating on Yelp and thought it would be fun to try a new restaurant. Upon our arrival, the atmosphere was serene, and the hostess greeted us warmly. We were anticipating an upscale fine dining experience. Although several tables were unoccupied, a large group at one table gave us hope. We were seated, and the waitress took our drink orders. We chose a cocktail and a glass of wine, along with an appetizer. After about 20 minutes, our drinks finally arrived, and the waitress returned to confirm our appetizer selection. It seemed she was managing the larger party and a couple of smaller tables all by herself, while other waitstaff gathered on the opposite side of the restaurant. After another 30-minute wait, we finally received our appetizer: salmon carpaccio. This dish, one of our favorites, is typically made with raw salmon, but that was not the case here. My husband and I exchanged glances after our first bite and simultaneously remarked, "smoked salmon." The smoked salmon was drenched in heavy sauces and came with a small plastic container of seaweed paper. While the presentation was underwhelming, we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the dish was overly salty and bore no resemblance to Brazilian cuisine. For the entrée, my husband ordered a medium-rare picanha with mashed potatoes, while I opted for octopus with roots and veggies as my side. An hour later, my husband--extremely hungry--was served a bone-in ribeye cooked to medium at best, while I received a minuscule portion of octopus accompanied by two sauces: a watery Mexican pico de gallo, a version of chimichurri, and what appeared to be unsalted breadcrumbs with herbs. Most of the food lacked salt, except for my "roots and veggies." Regrettably, I never had the chance to ask for salt to enhance the flavor. The vegetables were charred and mushy, except for the potatoes; the Brussels sprouts were overcooked. My husband finally expressed his frustration, saying that had he come alone, he would have walked out within the first 30 minutes. I admitted that I was too embarrassed to speak up after the appetizer and wanted to cancel the entrées, but I feared they had already begun cooking. We both arrived hungry, yet found ourselves pushing our food around our plates in search of the edible parts. The ribeye steak, not what my husband ordered, was a low-grade cut of beef, tough to chew, and utterly flavorless. Even slathering it with chimichurri couldn't mask the texture. So, we savored the one enjoyable aspect of the meal--the wine--while scanning the restaurant for our waitress. The moment our eyes met, we requested the bill. After waiting for it, we paid and left as quickly as possible. There was no point in prolonging what turned out to be an almost three-hour ordeal of a bad dining experience. We left feeling hungry and thoroughly disappointed. This experience was certainly not worth the price range. We appreciate fine dining and don't mind paying for a delicious meal enjoyed in good company with excellent service. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose; this time was a complete loss in my opinion. The next time we're in Brownsville, we'll certainly stick to our usual spots. read more

This restaurant just opened up last month, so it's super new, BUT WOW!!!! Absolutely beautiful ambiance and vibe! Totally felt like we were not in Brownsville. Such a nice, different restaurant than what we're used to. The service was also impeccable. Gael was our waiter and he was knowledgeable and attentive. The food was AMAZING!!!! The flavors were different and went together so well! Beyond impressed and will definitely recommend this place to everyone I know. It is on the pricey end but that's what makes it a perfect spot for date night or a special occasion or even a "just because" date like we did! read more

Mi experiencia en Sodre's Cuisine fue muy buena. Desde que entras, el lugar tiene un ambiente agradable, acogedor y bien cuidado, ideal para una cena tranquila o una ocasión especial. La comida realmente destaca. La propuesta es diferente a lo que normalmente encuentras en Brownsville: una fusión brasileña bien ejecutada, con sabores bien balanceados y presentaciones cuidadas. Se nota la intención y el concepto detrás de cada platillo. Los mariscos y las salsas están muy bien trabajados, y cada bocado se siente pensado. El servicio fue amable y atento, siempre dispuestos a recomendar y a hacer la experiencia más agradable. Sí es un restaurante con precios un poco más elevados, pero en mi opinión lo vale por la calidad, el ambiente y la experiencia completa. Definitivamente un lugar al que volvería y que recomiendo si buscas algo diferente y bien hecho. read more

The food was high average. The service was an abomination. The waiter could not manage a simple substitution of potatoes for broccoli. My guest was to shy too say anything until the meal was over. Sadly, the service was a dark cloud over the menu. In addition to the horrible service, I ordered two different dishes to share with my coworkers, even sending pictures to them. Only one of the dishes was included. I called the restaurant and explained what happened and their response for the missing item, was "Well, we didn't charge you for it." That is not the point! I did not know I had to double check your work. A $400 meal turned into a rise in my blood pressure. Sadly, I gave the waiter a 20% tip how sad is that. The service brought my star rating down to a one star. read more

We came back the second time to make sure that it was still an amazing experience, and it was. Service both our visits were attentive and friendly, most important it was interactive. Food is simply delicious and the desserts are like no other. read more

The atmosphere is extraordinary. I loved the chairs, the high ceiling, perfect lighting and music. The sound level allowed for great conversations and the chairs were very comfortable. The service was superb. All the wait staff was available to help. It didn't matter who was in charge of the table. Food came out quickly. Appetizers were delicious. The grilled oysters had a great presentation. What I would expect from a place like this. The salmon carpaccio had a unique touch of asian fusion. The beet purée elevated this dish. For the main dish we had the Bobo and another Brazilian dishes that I can't remember the name but both were exquisite. Fresh, flavorful, unique and beautifully presented. We ordered the fruti di mare and de panko crusted filet mignon. These dishes could use some improvement on the pasta. They are served with a red tomato sauce that didn't feel fresh. It was heavy. It was good, but considering the amazing Brazilian dishes we were served, if we compare, these fell a bit short. However, I understand that these last two items are more of an Italian dish, so maybe that was the reason. The desserts were beautifully presented and delicious. Very different. I will definitely be going back and will make sure to order items that are part of their American-Brazilian specialties. I already have an idea of what dishes I am excited to try next. read more

Service was good and food is awesome. Rick is an awesome waiter. The Porchetta is a great appetizer.

It was a great first experience for me, the food, service, and drinks where great. The inside of the restaurant has a nice ambiance and very calm environment. Also, I appreciate the staff for their kindness and hospitality; as soon as we walked in they greeted my gf and I, then showed us to our table. You won't have trouble deciding which dish to get, the server will explain the dish to you and give you a list of recommendations. read more

Service was good.... Food was ok. I will go back sometime. I have had Brazilian food before and this one was a little bland.

First and foremost it's a great. Brownsville is very blessed to have a local Brazilian culinary option for dining. It's not your typical gaucho churrasco place. I'm impressed by the concept. There is no other restaurant like Sodre's Cuisine in 4200 sq miles. Service is great and friendly. Ambience is pretty contemporary. I will recommend that a business casual dress code. read more

The whole experience was awesome, food is awesome. Congratulations to the chef! Real Brazilian food

First time at this new restaurant, The ambiance was great, the food was brought to the table one plate at a time instead of all together, AND the food was cold. I loved the flavor however I could not enjoy it because it was cold. We were 8 of us and all of our plates were cold. Service was awful as well. Sorry but will not be back.. read more

Very nice atmosphere and ambiance. Our appetizers (oysters) were good. For our main dishes we chose the short rib over polenta with vegetables, this was very good. We also had a NY Strip steak (the more expensive Brazilian version of Kobe), it was a thinner cut than we are used to, but quite tasty and cooked perfectly. They were out of two of their signature alcohols, so we could not try those specialty drinks. They also only had 1 black Brazilian beer. On the bright side, they did make a drink that was very good, similar to an Amaretto Sour. The most disappointing thing were the chairs! We sat at a table near the window... the chairs were low, difficult to sit for eating because they were more like lounge chairs and not comfortable. The table base was in the way with large cross bars in the way of your feet. Maybe the chairs at tables not near the windows are better. The prices were reasonable, but not cheap. We will go back. Hopefully we can try their signature drinks! read more
