This is a long overdue review concerning events, as we all know the food here is delicious, well cooked, with plenty of variety. I chose this restaurant as my dental school graduation dinner and the person in charge of parties was Katie Aguirre - I was not able to meet her in person but communicated through phone and email. She is responsive, accommodating, sweet, and professional! The Steakhouse has a couple of rooms for private parties depending on size and they do have a $ minimum which varies for each room. I was able to see each room in person before choosing, as they all have different layouts. For my party, I had planned for 28 people and had surprise extra guests, meaning the restaurant had to accommodate more people than intended. They did a fabulous job adjusting the chairs and tables so that everyone fit, even though I had a whole section displaying graduation regalia, gifts, signage, and flowers! They were responsive the day of the event as I had to let them know at the last minute what time my graduation ceremony ended (the school gave me an estimated time range) and to let them know a few friends would help me set up decor and they ensured my guests were NOT in the room until ready, as there were some earlybirds.
Additionally, everyone involved was understanding and professional as
1. they asked me what is considered ok to serve for the full bar drink package I chose (for example, asking me before service started what is ok to order and what is not ok to order - there was no sneaky guest ordering a super expensive champagne bottle haha)
1.5 the drinks were strong, which I know a lot of my guests appreciated and were quite a fan of
2. They were able to explain the menu and ordering process despite some language and confusion barriers with my guests, as there were some guests who have never been to a brazilian steakhouse before
3. They were quick and efficient with the rounds and variety of food, drinks, plates, refills etc
4. Great at timing when to bring the cake, allowing for photos, and serving it
5. The fact that the cake was dropped off earlier in the day by a local baker, communication and storage of cake was amazing
6. The service by everyone working was A+! They managed to appease grumpy guests (lol family reunions can be stressful and overwhelming) and I believe because of the service, food, and vibe the restaurant provided, all of my guests had a great time and left happy + full!
They did such a great job with delicious food that I would not hesitate to book them again for anything - whether it be a wedding related event, birthday, anniversary, or work event.
