We are regulars at this restaurant but I had never written a review. It is worth going but warning - pace yourself. Know the cuts of meats you want and enjoy. Personally - I love the salad bar. The asparagus are huge and al dente. I usually have asparagus, fresh beets, a piece of parmigiano regiano (the real thing because... More

The food was so good and the service could not have been any better. This is my favorite place to eat. This was our first visit but I can tell you we will be back often. More

Had a late lunch here with large group. Best Brazilian BBQ I've ever had. Quality cuts of meat done perfectly. Salad bar and sides were great. Service was a little overdone (quit asking me if I like my meal! I only need to tell you once. ). Or it was lacking-- had to ask 2 different waiters for a beverage... More

The service was very good, although when they come to the table to slice meats it is a little intense. I can tell they are just trying to make sure you get to try everything, and I think the service comes with the territory. However the salad bar and the majority of the meats were excellent. I particularly enjoyed the... More

Food and service are always top notch. We like to do the lunch as it is the same food for a lower price. Do not eat before coming here as everything is fabulous. More

We decided to go for my wife's birthday during lunch (best time to go in my opinion) and they made her feel like the VIP she is supposed to be on her birthday. We Love the salad bar and of course all the different meats. When it came time for dessert they took the time to make it a special... More

My wife and I ate lunch here to celebrate our anniversary. As I had been told, the salad bar was spectacular with many unexpected yet delicious items. The main course was heavenly for a meat eater such as myself. So many mouthwatering meats brought to my table. The mutton was the best I have ever had. A couple of meats... More

Really great food, even better service. This place is very expensive so during lunch is the best time to go. You can expect to pay $60 with tip for 2 without alcoholic drinks or desserts. Definitely worth it. They do not recommend this place to children & I have to agree with them. Get a babysitter, it's not kid-friendly at... More

Go during lunch when they have half price. You get the exact food/service you get at dinner but for half price. I ate about 50lbs of meat for $28. Everything good said by previous folks is exactly right. The best meat I've had, not a vegetarians place but if you love meat, you won't leave dissapointed. I'm stuffed! More
