"Opened Monday, November 11 at 698 Maine Avenue SW, the Wharf outpost is sizably smaller than the city's first location but adds a patio surrounded with fire pits. An open churrasco grill gives guests a 360-degree vantage point of gaucho chefs carving and roasting dry-aged proteins before they parade around the room. The Wharf's endless meat-on-a-stick experience with a salad bar is priced at $67.50 (a few bucks less than the D.C. original on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, where VP-elect J.D. Vance is a known customer). Happy hour is an all-day affair with $10 Caipirinhas, $8 South American wines, and $5 beers. The chain was founded in Southern Brazil in 1979 and currently has over 70 locations across Brazil, the U.S., Mexico, and the Middle East. The Wharf location is open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch out of the gate and donates 10 percent of opening-week sales to charity No Kid Hungry." - Emily Venezky
