    My "salad" plate to start. This place is fantastic. Was eating too frantically to take any other photos.
    Rob S.

    For years I heard the hype. For years I thought it could not be as advertised due to being in a shopping mall. Then... my oldest son turned 18. We wanted something different. Simply outstanding. From the service to the feel to the selection. Any dietary preference can be more than amply accommodated. Don't let anyone in your family/friends group use the argument of "I don't eat meat" as a barrier to entry. The sides and salad bar should be named something more substantial as they surpass any expectation of what those terms used to mean. The meats... OMG. And the best part is you can learn which cuts you prefer the most and your server will help guide the carvers to you. Amazing. Tips: 1) come hungry 2) budget $60 per person with tip (if not drinking alcohol) 3) make a big charcuterie plate for the table as you also enjoy your salads and soups, etc. 4) get a plate for meat. And a plate for sides. 5) the lamb varieties and the Picanha beef are fantastic. The beef ribs put it over the top 6) the carrot cake is worth the drive 7) walk the mall before and after to allow you recover. But you'll be smiling so widely. Simply a must go.

    I brought my husband here for a milestone birthday. We love churrascarias so a Brazilian steakhouse like this was perfect for us. You can try all different meats and the salad bar has plenty of variety as well. Everything was really tasty. We got a bottle of red wine to enjoy the meat with and then a really delicious dessert. Definitely worth a visit .

    I've been here once before and this place is great for special occasions!! Came here for a family members birthday and our server, Amanda, did such a fantastic job. She was prompt, on top of drinks and checked in to see if there were other meats we missed or wanted to try and notified the servers. She even asked how we liked our meats cooked even with the continuous serving layout! For constant meat service, you will always have a full plate! And for being inside of a mall, the ambiance is perfect! Not too dark, with a mellow laid back feel. You start off at the table where the sever gives a quick run down of how they cook their Brazilian style meats (rock salt) and how to use the green and red signs (yes for more food/no to stop serving). There is a HUGE drink menu to choose from also, a la carte. You start off at the salad bar with various toppings and dressings, a variety of imported cheeses and meats. Green beans, potato salad, fruits and veggies, couscous, smoked salmon, rice and beans, tabouli, specialty soup (we had lobster bisque)... and I'm missing some still!! You ALSO get fries, creamy mashed potatoes, sweet cinnamon bananas and Brazilians cheese bread that keeps coming out fresh! There are 16 different meats to choose from (beef, pork, chicken, lamb, sausage) and are seasoned different ways. Bacon wrapped, Parmesan rub, garlic marinated... **Everything is SO good, and I suggest NOT filling up at the salad bar in order to try all the different means! You get full quick! There are also many dessert options to choose from...flan, creme brulee, different pies and cakes, custards. We had the Brazilian cheese cake (chocolate, caramel and nuts), Carrot cake and a chocolate mouse.

    I was honestly disappointed with my experience at this steakhouse. I love Brazilian steakhouses but this one felt incomplete. The restaurant presentation was really nice and looking more upscale and the staff were all friendly and nice. So it was the standard salad bar and flip your card to green for Meats to arrive. Our waitress asked us how we liked our meat but that didn't seem to matter cause everything that came seem to be raw, rare or medium rare when we said medium well. They brought one well done steak but that seemed more burnt. It was a full house so I can understand the service being slowly so they can tend to everyone but it seemed like they slowed down drastically on serving our table meat. I left an all you can eat buffet hungry pretty much sums it up. Maybe I gone on a bad day but I don't think I'll be going back.

    I love this place service was amazing very nice people!, the food was a hit or miss depending on if you like medium rare meat or over cooked like for me I'm a medium rare girl but my boyfriend isn't so we would switch the meat if I have something this wasn't medium rare then we would like the food. Very seasoned. Too this is my new favorite place! Our bill was $250 got 4 alcoholic drinks two desserts and two of the all you can eat.

    Great food, great service, great ambiance. You'd never know this place was attached to a mall. When you walk in through the heavy wooden doors, you are transported to a quiet, intimate steakhouse. All you can eat grilled meats, a full salad bar, multiple soups, and bread options. This place is heaven for your taste buds. Plus, an excellent assortment of signature cocktails and mocktails. Our waiter was friendly, fun, and efficient. He really made us feel at home and was happy to join in with our goofiness. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in the area!

    Amazing food! Make sure you go here hungry because the food is endless. Everything was delicious here. I enjoyed steak, lamb ,chicken and the amazing salad bar. Our server was friendly and explained everything we needed to know about the restaurant.

    Went for a birthday dinner and was so happy with the service and selection. Food was delicious and wait staff were attentive. Our waiter Eddie was very funny and made us feel special. He deserves a raise, and that's the 100% truth. Dinner was a very memorable experience. Would definitely go back.

    Plan wout meats as I kept waiting for the servers to walk by
    Jon B.

    Got to be honest, not a big fan of this place. Really not about the food which I felt was very good, is just that on a busy day you just sit waiting for the servers to bring the meats. First you pay something like $55 for all you can eat, you can go to an area to get salad, rice, beans, bread etc, things to compliment your meats. The problem is you start eating, you run out of meat as you dint want to get a lot pieces (as you want to try the other and not get full), and then wait for the guys to come back. So in the mean time you are eating a bunch of non meat stuff, filling yourself up, with not enough people bringing meat out. Felt a bit like a sacm if you ask me, like we give you all these meat but won't be able to eat it because you will get full with non meat stuff. I was very frustrated at this place to say the least and was so expensive! Won't be coming back, or if I do will have to be on a slow day.

    I got the churaccassa plate to go. Parmesan pork and $2 more for leg of lamb with two sides of Parmesan potatoes au gratin and mushrooms. The only thing edible was the mushrooms. Both meats were dried out pieces of shoe leather that were overly salty. There was double the amount of pork than lamb. The potatoes were not cooked through and there were literally four slices in the side. I feel bad for the seated diners who paid $57.99 for this crap. What a waste of my money.

    My husband loves the Leg of Lamb. I like the Parmesan chicken and pork.

The guys behind the counter will take out the meat you want and will carve you however much you would like. They charge by the pound, you weigh your foods then pay at the counter. It's very much like a buffett in terms of the ring out process. The foods fresh, tasty, and abundant. They are not labeled well, so some things are guesswork as to what you get. But although you can't identify some things, it's going to taste good. Price is reasonable for the portions. It's not pretty, but it's tasty

Their lineup offers nine entrees served with two sides ($12-$19) and eight solo sides ($6-$7). The entrees are three kabob plates (Churrasquinho) with a half pound of chicken, pork or beef and two sides, steak, salmon or stew specialties, and two vegetarian options. I wanted to try their Feijoada ($15) "The Most Popular Brazilian Dish" - an enticing stew of black beans, sausage, bacon, beef, rice, plantains and kale. But it wasn't available right away and I didn't want to wait 20 minutes for it to get cooked up. Instead, I went for an order of Churrasquinho with Chicken and sides of Kale and Yucca fries for $16. It was delicious!! Everything on the plate was delicious. The grilled chicken was tender and flavorful with nice grill marks. It was stellar. The Yucca fries were very good too, yes, they tasted a lot like French Fries, but the texture and taste were slightly different. And the kale surprised me a lot -it was soft and tender and delicious, nothing like the cardboard or Styrofoam-like kale I had experience with. The crowning glory of my lunch came when the cook asked "Do you want some of our hot sauce?" Of course I did, and he handed me a quarter cup plastic container of beige/orange sauce. Prepare yourself before you try it because it is nuclear! Of course I loved it. I also liked the way the owner walked over during my meal and asked how I liked it. We exchanged some banter about his hot sauce! The Gulla Grille was a hit for me.

First time at their Newington location. We were seated a booth - very nice - extra roomy. It's nice that you aren't on top of other people in this restaurant. Nowadays they just pack people in which takes away from the dining experience. Started by splitting a Caesar salad. Forgot to take a picture - probably because it was so good and we were lost in conversation. My boyfriend got the filet with twin lobster tails special. He enjoyed the filet and I had the lobster tails. The lobster tails were huge! The waitress mentioned they normally put some sort of a spice on them but I asked for it to be left off as lobster is delicious on its own (I just asked for butter on the side). Unfortunately, they put salt on the lobster tails which kind of ruined the flavor, however the lobster was nice and fresh, so I just dunked them in butter to mask the salty taste. Lobster is so flavorful and delicious by itself - it doesn't need anything other than lemon and maybe some butter. Chefs are always trying to do different things with lobster and they don't need to. Perhaps they put too much salt in the water they cooked it with. We also split the Au Gratin Potatoes. I must not have read that it had three cheeses in it. WOW was that a lot of cheese. A bit much. Very tasty but too much cheese. It was also quite small. We got the flourless chocolate cake for dessert and I have to say I normally love these, but this had an espresso flavor to it. Like lobster, chocolate is good as it is - no need to add different flavors to it. I hate tiramisu/espresso flavored desserts typically, so that flavor ruined this for me. I wish they mentioned it had an espresso flavor in it. I will ask in the future when ordering at restaurants. Service impeccable. Just a few things that kept this from a 5 star review. We did bring in our own bottle of wine so they will allow that, you just have to pay the $25 corkage fee. Nice evening. Will be back.

We'd planned on some suds as part of our neighborhood exploration, but asked for menus because we saw a lot of folks at table enjoying some awesome-looking plates. All we had was a plate of incredible cheese (served in tiny 1/2 inch cubes, complete with picks) and "prosciutto." The meat was indeed a kind of prosciutto, but was served in 1/3 inch cubes, and set next to the cheese. The rosy, fatty, delicious hunks of meat were chewy but very good, also. Perfect for nibbling with beer. The "prosciutto and cheese" combo appetizer was $9.50. A shrimp appetizer, served in a seafood-forward, complex garlic sauce was only $7.95. The shrimp were pristine, sweet, and fresh -- and barely cooked. Perfection! We offered to pay for bread as an accompaniment. They didn't charge us.
