The staff was very friendly and took the time to explain various things on the menu. We went during lunch time, so I didn’t get a look at their dinner menu, which I assume would be much more expensive. It’s a large restaurant, appears much smaller from the outside. We went right when they opened for lunch, but we were only inside for 2 minutes when a couple large groups came in. Judging by the number of waiters there were, I would expect a large lunch crowd.
It smelled awesome and was impressive looking when you first come in. They have meat laying on roasting racks right there in front of you, enticing you to try something. They have a buffet style cold salad & meat selection entree, which was about $14. I would have liked to try it, but we were getting something to go so we can get back to work. I orderd the steak sandwich instead, $6.95.
The fries were pretty good, just the right about of crunchiness. I don’t even like fries that much either. The sandwich, though was just alright. The meat was excellent, and tender, but the sandwich just seemed sort of plain. It was lacking something I can’t put my finger on. Maybe more produce? We also got an appetizer of garlic bread or something like that, which was a little weird and not exactly what I was expecting. I guess it was good for what it was - a little round ball with some spices on it.
Overall I wasn’t all that impressed with this place except for it’s decorations. But pretty Brazillian decorations aren’t enough to make a restaurant good enough to visit all the time. Besides, it was too far from my office to go all the time anyway. Maybe I will try going at night sometime.
