    Treated my team to dinner while in the area. The restaurant was very quiet at the time we went. The manager personally greeted us, and we were seated immediately. The hostess described everything to those who had never experienced a Brazilian steakhouse, took our drink orders, and delivered them to the table within minutes. But what made the experience for us were the servers. Both explained the meat that was being served and made sure to provide servings that were to our specifications ( I prefer my beef well, but some in the group wanted it walk to the table rare). We didn't have time to have second thoughts about eating too much because the gentlemen were right there with more. Everything we tried was well seasoned and tasty. However, I was a little concerned when we were being offered the grilled chicken, which was raw when he sliced into it. But it was immediately taken away by the server. The only other issue was that the food on the bar seemed to have been there for a while and could have been freshened up but was still tasty with several options. Highlight was the grilled pineapple, which brings me great joy. The team loves the food and experience and asked when we could dine there again. I hope the tip was split with the 2 folks who did all of the serving because they deserved a cut. If you are carnivorous, it's well worth the price.

    There was one person cooking and serving food for Sunday brunch. It took forever to get food to the table and what was brought was usually undercooked. Asked our server for beef ribs and she said they would be right out. 30 minutes go by and we ask again and she said it would be another 2 hours. Not sure why they open for brunch if nothing is ready. Really disappointing experience.

    We will not go back. Disorganized. Right hand did not know what the left was doing. We had four different waitresses, they said, because they "all help each other out." Three of us ordered one of the multiple meat options, and one ordered grilled salmon. After we all went through the salad bar (by a fancier name) one waitress brought our friend's salmon. But the other three of us were still waiting for meats to be served. Finally, about an hour after we arrived, and after our friend had FINISHED EATING her salmon, we asked a server why we had not received any meats that we saw being served to other tables. They apologized and guys started bringing meats to our table. But, even though I had specifically asked our first waitress if the smoked pork chop and lamb were included in my order, the servers brought EVERYTHING BUT what I had requested. I had to reiterate my request... I got lamb but never got the pork chop. No excuse... this was a Tuesday and only 1/2 the tables were occupied; I can't imagine how chaotic it would be if they were busy.

    We celebrated a birthday here with a large party of 20. Server seemed overwhelmed with the large party. She checked in some and the managers stepped in some as well but needs were often delayed in being met. The carving staff checked on one table but had to be directed to serve the second table of our reservation after they skipped the second table 3 rounds of offerings. The food itself was not the best. The self serve food from the buffet was not the freshest and the greens for the salad were brown and wilted. I ordered Salmon; it was cooked well but came out cold and unseasoned. My friend ordered the branzino and it came out cold and bland as well. The seafood was definitely a disappointment considering the price being $50+ on both dishes. The actual carved meat was good according to those who ate it. I brought a birthday cake and was told by the event coordinator they can cut it and serve for a fee. However, this was not offered. They brought the cake out in its box with a knife and the person celebrating the birthday cut his cake and served it. Which is perfectly fine but it would have been nice to have the cut service offered as discussed. We ended the dinner with the manager telling us about the great cuts of meat and cheese they offer (which was being served but was never brought to us). The cuts she discussed were requested and she responded with “next time you’re dining here, you can try it”, instead of offering it in the moment. It is a nice place and I was super grateful they could accommodate a large party. However, I was overall disappointed in the dinner.
