   One of the best churrascaria experiences we've ever had. This was due primarily to our waiter, Tiago, who went above and beyond to create an extraordinary experience for us. Not only was Tiago's service prompt and attentive, but before we were served he asked if we'd like to request any particular cuts of meat, which were promptly brought to our table. In addition to Tiago's exemplary service, the food was delicious and fresh, and the other servers where excellent as well. A memorable evening!

   We came here for my daughter's birthday and booked a 5pm reservation on Opentable. We arrived a little late at 5:10, but still within the permitted alloted timeframe. The hostess advised that their Wifi was down and that they're working on getting ready to seat us. At 5:20 a larger table for 12 was seated before we were, even though we had reservations at 5pm. I had to ask the other hostess to check on what the status was, in which we were then seated. For a Monday, it seemed like they were either unnderstaffed, or overwhelmed with the total number of diners that were finally seated around 5:30pm. There were 2 waiters actively working the floor, and 3 folks that we serving meats. Perhaps this was because Mondays may be slower at restauraunts? In either case, service was very slow. We got one round of meats at one slice each, in which we mostly spent our time waiting for the folks serving meat grazing on the salad bar instead. For ~$50 per person for 2 adults and $25 for one kid, it was not worth the total cost, which for 2.5 people and 2 indiviudal wines priced at $160. To add insult to injury, we explicitly called out that it was our daughter's birthday, and when I finally flagged down our waiter after waiting for 15 minutes, we weren't even offered something nice for my daughter. This is the most significantly let-down and failure from a service standpoint I've ever experienced. I don't know if we will be coming back again in the near future, at least not for Mondays ever again.

   Food was a little bit on the salty side , not much variety to choose from in the salad bar and the side dishes. Only one type of soup available and it is salty too.

   The meats are too salty and you guys must do better. The salad bar could be must better and provide more of a variety for salad accompaniments.i had high expectations and they were not met. This is my 4th Brazilian Steak House and this would be on the low end of the 4 I’ve experienced so far. The Staff is super friendly loved everyone we came in contact with. The star of the night goes to the Carrot Cake…it’s so tasty very yummy.

   Excellent selection at salad bar. Everything you could want to make a delicious side for all the meats that are being served. Love the continuous hit delicious French fries brought to the table.

   Excellent choice of meats which revolved more frequently than expected. Salad bar was exceptional.

    The first course is a salad bar. The variety was pretty good, however some dishes were not stocked. Nothing really stood out. The second course was a side dish bar and meats on skewers that servers would walk around and offer to you. The waiter would bring a small dish of fries, Parmesan puffs, and cinnamon banana. All of the meat was smoked and pretty much tasted the same. The quality was lower than expected. Most of the meat was undercooked and tough. We were only offered 4 of meats listed of the menu. No pork or lamb was served. The side dish bar was pretty limited and the dishes were lukewarm. All in all, the meal was really disappointing. At the end of the meal, after I paid, I stopped at the hostess desk to inform them that where I was seated was directly under the air conditioning vent, causing my food to become immediately cold and maybe they should look into that. Well, the manager came up and started giving me a some explanation that made it clear they were aware of it and still they are seating people there.
