Steak is excellent and you will never leave hungry . Allot yourself enough time to enjoy everything. The salad bar , while great, is a trick to get you to eat less. Skip it...except the vegetable soup .

Sarah Imam

The salad bar alone is stunning. Where else can you get beef carpaccio in a buffet ?If you only want seafood then they have a seafood option but hey, why miss out on amazing steak when at a STEAKHOUSE

Alejandra ????

Best date place ! Don't underestimate the salad bar , there are some delicious things there. Bacon-wrapped fillet mignon was incredible????????????????and to top it off, papaya ice cream !

Anna Happy

Stake was so delicious I couldn't stop! Very cozy , very delitious!!!

Natie Nolasco Muriel

Superb service and authentic Brazilian bbq . A little pricey , but if you go during Restaurant Week, it's only $30 per person. Well worth the money.

Not too crazy about the salad bar but I LOVE the beef that is served! Go hungry and prepared to eat. Don't forget the bottle of chilled wine .

Meatiest!!!!!! But if you like blue cheese on your steak , on the salad bar they have a Gorgonzola moose! Same great flavor but it doesn't roll off your steak !

Emily Ellis

I'm in delicious meat heaven. Try the bacon-wrapped chicken , it's amazing.

Skip the salad bar and the hours d'oeuvres and and focus on the steak ! Ask for Picanha ! If you talk in Portuguese you will get the royal treatment!

Cyro Freitas

This is one of the best Brazilian restaurants I've ever eaten. The passion fruit mousse is delicious!

CLTdining

A meat lovers paradise! The salad and hot bar is amazing all by itself and the atmosphere is really cool. Great bar upstairs too.

Don't overlook the fish offerings (swordfish and salmon ). The sauces they put on the fish are fantastic...

Di Moore

The steaks , beef ribs and salmon are delicious!

Ryan Edge

The happy hour specials are a legitimate steal. I just wish they had more of them.

Angelica Moreno

Good, lots of food. Meats tend to be greasy (probably make you fill up faster).

Sophia Matthews

Try the Meat - I was a vegetarian for almost 10 years. I think I made up for it tonight.
