Service was exceptional, there was no waiting, no flagging anyone down for more, and no pushing of any lower cuts of meat. We were consistently offered the better cuts and options for meet, no skimping here like, other similar places. Taste was equally exceptional, def recommend the spicy flavored in addition to all the other great cuts. Conclusion: impressed

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels upscale but not stuffy. There was a pianist playing beautiful classical versions of Top 40 songs from different decades (along with some traditional classical bangers), the live music was a fun and unexpected touch. The hostess was lovely and attentive, even offering to seat us before everyone arrived. The buffet area is absolutely gorgeous. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and clearly cared for. I know better, it's not my first rodeo (legit Gaucha here), Feijao, a pinch of rice, a few leaves of salad, and a micro-dosing of potato salad, than I sat back down for the real experience to begin. Which it did, promptly. Within moments, we were graciously swarmed by servers offering up an incredible variety: bacon wrapped chicken and filet, Picanha, Fraldinha, lamb, pork sausages, Costela (honestly to-die-for), grilled pineapple, and even queijo com mel drizzled on top. Perfeito. I was completely in my element and so was everyone at the table. The service was outstanding. Rafael, David, and the gentleman carving the gold wrapped steak (yup, I said gold). The entire team operated like a well oiled machine. Parabéns a todo eles.. e parabéns pra nos tambem, haha.

This restaurant is under new management, and the changes have been fantastic. They've lowered their…read moreprices, started opening for lunch, and seem to be in the middle of a full rebrand. We tried their lunch special at $25.90 per person, which is honestly an incredible deal. It includes the full salad bar plus table-side service with about 11 different cuts of meat. The portions were so generous that we filled up before we could even try them all... and this wasn't even the premium, full experience! The salad bar alone is worth a visit. It had a great variety, even including hot dishes like beef stew and chicken stroganoff. Still thinking about those yucca fries! If you just want the salad bar, it's only $17.90, which is a great lunch deal in downtown. What really set the experience apart, though, was the service. Erika took such great care of us--attentive, warm, and genuinely kind. Even though it was just a casual weekday lunch for us, she made us feel like we were celebrating something special. The food is great, but the main reason I want to come back is because of Erika! It wasn't always a busy place before, likely because the higher prices kept people away, but now it feels much more accessible, and I'm really rooting for them to succeed. A full dinner experience used to be $74.95. It's now $59.90, with an option for a dinner special at $49.90. Try it!

Kids five and under are free and I think 12 and under are half price. If you work for the state and show your state IS you get 20% off. Service was friendly and attentive. Bathrooms were spacious and clean as well as ADA compliant. The salad bar had many choices and my favorite items were the plantains and the cheese bread. The meat overall was average. Some too salty and some cuts were chewy and could have been seasoned more or less. There is a parking structure nearby that would be cheaper than parking on the street.

I always choose this place because its a little spendy for me. We made reservations this time for 1130. They ONLY service lunch on Fridays. Otherwise, it is dinner only here. Lunch has increased to $48.00 vs. the thirty something I used to remember. Our server Luiz was very nice and everything was great. The beef Pichana is my favorite. Very tender and flavorful. Sausage was the only lack luster item. They had fried bananas and cheese rolls that I don't remember them having before. Since I told him it was my birthday, I got a free dessert and chose the cheesecake. I asked for a container to take the leftover 3 cheese rolls that were still on the table and knew would be thrown away. He not only came back out with a container, but added 6 additional rolls for me to take home that I thought was a very nice touch. Our bill came to $500 after tip for the 7 of us so it was not a cheap meal by any means and we all stopped before we went into food coma so they made their money but its a family business and not one of those chains so that is A-okay. See you next year Foga! I had a lovely lunch.

The service was outstanding from start to finish , they were very attentive, friendly, and always making sure our table was taken care of. The steaks were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor, and the lamb was absolutely delicious. Honestly, I couldn't take pictures right away because everything looked so good and tasted even better, we just dove right in! Everyone was great but a special shoutout to Victor for providing exceptional service and making our dining experience even more enjoyable. His friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail really stood out. If you're looking for great service and high-quality meats, this place definitely delivers. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

We experienced inattentive service and the meat offerings came really slowly. We often sat waiting…read morefor quite a while. The meat was inconsistent-- sometimes it was good and sometimes it was tough. The highlights of the visit were the cheese breads and the overpriced pineapple mint lemonade. We didn't get offered cheese bread -- we saw a family table served them after we had been there for most of our meal. Our server had disappeared never to return and the rest of the staff including the hostess studiously ignored us. My spouse resorted to hailing random people with I know you're not our server. We did get our cheese breads hot out of the oven after we could snag someone and the cheese breads were so good. My spouse loved them so much we had to flag someone down again later for more because again, we didn't have a server. The salad bar offerings were good but some of it felt old. I ate some sliced cheese that was flat out hard. Not sick so I guess that's good. Anyway, we wanted to like this place but I feel like if you're spending this much money, you should have a stellar experience. The cheese bread and overpriced lemonade should not be the highlight. Also, there was broken floor trim near our table so it was difficult to move my chair to get up. And the fake wood floor planks were peeling up near us. This place is a never again, which is too bad because the other Brazilian steakhouses we have eaten at have been an elevated, special occasion. This felt like nobody cared. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Came in for date night and had a wonderful experience. Instead of the traditional Brazilian…read moresteakhouse service, we opted to order à la carte and shared the tomahawk steak. It was the perfect size for two and cooked beautifully--tender, flavorful, and presented perfectly. To complete the meal, we added several items from the marketplace, including fresh vegetables and sides that paired wonderfully with the steak. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and made for a satisfying dinner without feeling overly heavy. The atmosphere is upscale yet comfortable, making it a great spot for date night or a special occasion. Service was attentive, and we never felt rushed. If you're not looking for the full Brazilian steakhouse experience, ordering the tomahawk à la carte with a few marketplace selections is a fantastic option. We'll definitely be back for another date night!

The burger for brunch is delightful and for dinner, the Caesar Salad and Bavette were definitely choices we would also recommend. Complaints: We came on two separate days, once for brunch and once for dinner. The hostesses were the weak points on both visits. The first hostess brusquely told us to wait for our server when we thought to pay up front. All three hostesses incessantly touched their hair, and barely made eye contact. Both times, there were 1-2 flies as well.
