Very good variety of meats, the salad bar is also well-stocked and very tasty. The prices are reasonable and not exaggerated. I recommend this place even for a date, and the customer service leaves nothing to complain about. Parking is on the street.

I absolutely love the rich and savory flavors of Brazilian meat. The way it’s expertly grilled and seasoned truly elevates the dining experience. There's this incredible Brazilian restaurant I visit frequently, known for its authentic rodizio-style service, where waiters bring an array of perfectly cooked meats directly to your table. The juicy cuts of picanha and tender filets, combined with traditional side dishes like pão de queijo and farofa, create a feast that's hard to resist. It's definitely my go-to spot for a delicious meal that captures the essence of Brazilian cuisine.

Considerably one of the best restaurants I've been to! When you arrive you are seated, and you get to select from a wide arrangement of food from the self-serve bar, which in my opinion was all top tier quality! But don't fill up on the food bar, because this is when they start to bring out the meats! The perfect amount of smoke in the meat, nice and tender. The steak was the star of the show from my experience, and honestly blows every other steak house I've been to out of the water.

Visited after a short tour of Alcatraz. We did a an early dinner and it was a quick trip with the local line and perfectly accessible. They had a special summer offering which discounted the meal but the experience was phenomenal. We received attentive service and the food was well cooked and quality. We had visited a handful of Brazilian steakhouses from different states and this one left an impression!

The salad selection was great! The service was exceptional. Drinks were on point. The big let down was the meats. They were dry and salty. We had reservations for 5:30pm it felt like we were served the left overs from lunch. The fresh meats starting coming out around 6:45pm. Try going at that time.

It's worth going! All the food is delicious and fresh. The picañana was one of my favorite meats, and the passion fruit mojito is a hit among the drinks.
