CopaCabana Brazilian Steakhouse

Im amazed of how good the quality of their steak was. Went there right at 4pm when they open the restaurant and their meat was warm and fresh. they also had amazing service. We told the people that serve the steak we love their cheese steaks and they made sure to bring that to our table few times. Atmospheres looked great with their neon lights and graphics. Before coming here saw the reviews got kinda scared but came here anyways and im glad me and my friend had a blast day. I will recommend it to come when they open because it’s less busy. Overall, they made sure our bottle of water is always full and we always had steaks in our dishes. Amazing!

Been wanting to come here for my birthday, I ended up doing a solo dinner and had a blast. I went on a Wednesday and did the all inclusive and it’s worth it 1000%. The staff was so welcoming and accommodating. The food was amazing I left soooo full and satisfied. Gary is the best!!! I will definitely be returning and bringing my friends as well. The food was delicious unlimited drinks I was in heaven, I have no complaints🤌🏾

I would give this restaurant a better rating had our large group experience been better for the price we paid. We went on a Saturday night for a large group reservation. We got seated and once everyone arrived (it was a surprise bday) our server came over. She was friendly and showed us the sides menu which we were instructed to order from before the meat would come around. There were a few items we had asked for that were unavailable or never came out. Our server had placed orders in to the kitchen for a lot of different sides which we didn't order and were dropped off to our tables. That was very wasteful as we didn't want them nor ate them all. When it came time to the meat coming around the the tables, it was fast and easy to be served. After the rush of bringing out the different meats, they stopped coming around our tables and we had to wave them down or have our server send them over. The meat selection seemed to only have 5 varieties on rotation from the large list of meats. The meat we did have was delicious. The overall vibe was great, the dancers performed 2-3 times in our 2 hour reservation. The music and in-house DJ was playing incredible tracks. The price was a little steep, $80 a person on a Saturday with gratuity included on our large group. Parking wasn't an issue until it came time to leaving. I paid for Green P parking right across the street and still got a ticket 15 minutes before our time expired. There is lots of parking nearby, try to find a parking garage as that's safer than paying for street parking apparently.

Went there on Friday with my friend for the La Latina Night and we both had a great time! The La Latina Night is all-you-can-drink with the all-you-can-eat sides from the regular rodizio, but instead of the skewers with meat, you get 4 different options that come in boards for your table. My friend and I enjoyed all the sides we ordered, our caipirinha pitchers were very refreshing, and the meat board is so tasty! I can't wait to go back and try the other boards and maybe the dance floor - the music and the dancers make the whole vibe. Overall very satisfying experience, and probably one of my favorite places in Toronto 😊

🌟 La Latina Nights was a blast! We had such a great dinner here—delicious food, vibrant atmosphere, and top-notch entertainment. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the whole place had an electric energy that made the evening feel like a celebration. The performer was incredible and really brought the room to life. Loved the decor, the music, and the festive touches throughout. Definitely worth the all-inclusive price for a night of fun, flavor, and flair. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lively dining experience with a Latin twist!

The meats are so juicy and flavourful! Side dishes are tasty too! Service are quick and staff are friendly. Love it!

I went out for dinner with some friends last night. At first, I was really excited — ever since the downtown location closed during the pandemic, I hadn’t had a chance to eat here for years. This time, I even made the trip all the way from Aurora to the Eglinton spot just to relive those memories. Overall, the food quality hasn’t changed much, which was a relief. It used to be self-serve for appetizers and main dishes, but now everything is done through QR code ordering. That’s a bit inconvenient, but understandable. What really disappointed me, though, was the complete lack of service. It genuinely felt like there were no servers at all — no one checked on our table, no one came to clear our plates even when they were stacked and about to fall off the edge, and no one offered to change our dishes. Honestly, the guy grilling the meat was more friendly and attentive than any of the staff. And then came the forced 18% gratuity. I’m going to be honest — if I had known this before I sat down, I wouldn’t have chosen to eat here. When did this restaurant become so unsure of its own service that it needed to mandate tips? If you truly believe in the quality of your food and service, customers will tip generously on their own. The forced gratuity and the overall attitude left a bad taste. It just doesn’t feel like the same restaurant anymore. I won’t be coming back.

Our group had so much fun here on a Friday night. We loved the live DJ, the samba dancers, and that we could get up from the table and dance. We had a blast! They played a mix of salsa, bachata, and reggaeton so there was something for everyone. The drinks were fruity and fun and the meat boards were delicious! Our server was very attentive, we will definitely be back!

We made reservations for their Winterlicious menu (which is the only menu they have during these weeks apparently). Walking inside was underwhelming and it felt very dark, cafeteria style. We were seated at a table for two and when asked about a booth (my friend is 7 months pregnant) the response was no (not even a not right now, which wasn't the best first impression but, not a huge deal). Our server was very kind and explained the menu well and suggestions on how many sides to start with, etc. The sides came out randomly and the meats were pretty sparse between times they came around. For example, when garlic shrimp came around, they offered two and we waited nearly an hour (and asked a few times) for them to come back around. The meats were fine but definitely not anything special (especially for the price) and almost all were coated in different cheeses -- except the strip loin that like the shrimp, we waited ahead for. A table beside us left unhappy and another left before even ordering. The built in 18% gratuity was a bit of a surprise (something to keep in mind). The washrooms were not very clean, decor is dated and dark and the food was mediocre at best Needless to say, we won't be back -- a shame really.

We've been huge fans of Copacabana for years, having visited most of their locations before the pandemic--even the ones that sadly closed during that time. This was our first visit to the Eglinton location, and we were excited to see how it compared to the others. We went for the Date Night Dinner ($145 for two people, including a bottle of wine). We chose red and got a bottle of Shiraz, which paired perfectly with the red meat feast ahead. The atmosphere was lively, with a live DJ setting the vibe for a fun evening. The food? Absolutely fantastic. The grilled meats were cooked to perfection--juicy, flavourful, and served medium rare, which we love. The servers were on top of their game, constantly bringing different cuts of meat to our table. For those who've been to Copa before, you might remember the little coasters you'd flip to signal if you wanted more or needed a break. That's gone now, so the meat just keeps coming! All you have to do is politely decline--but honestly, how do you say no to those hunks of meat? (Yes, I'm talking about the actual meat!) We tried nearly everything on the rodizio menu, but some standouts were the parmesan filet mignon, the signature picanha, and this amazing cut stuffed with melty cheese (wish I remembered the name). On the side, we had the salmon tartare and the roasted broccoli and zucchini. The tartare was a little too fishy for our taste--stronger than the sushi-grade salmon we're used to--but the veggies had a nice smoky flavour, even though they were a bit over-grilled and leaned towards bitter. Whenever we dine at Copa, we couldn't say no to the grilled pineapple--it's sweet, caramelized, and so addictive that I couldn't resist grabbing a couple of slices before finally putting my tongs down. I also had the cornbread, which was soft and pillowy, and ended with some vanilla gelato, a refreshing way to wrap up such a hearty meal. The Eglinton location itself is beautiful--though a bit smaller than the Vaughan location, it's clean, and tastefully decorated. One thing we did miss was the Brazilian dance show, which for some reason wasn't happening on the Friday we visited. But honestly, the amazing food and lively energy made up for it. Copacabana hasn't lost its touch, and we're so glad we finally made it to this location. If you're a fan of all-you-can-eat meat or just looking for a great night out, this place is definitely worth visiting.

We visited this restaurant on a weekday and opted for the rodizio style dinner ($75 AYCE). The meat was delicious and the servers kept a constant flow of food coming around to our table. We tried nearly everything we wanted to from the grilled meats menu, as well as several sides, including: the dinosaur kale salad (surprisingly very flavourful and crispy like chips), pao de queijo (sooo fluffy and cheesy, piping hot out of the stove), casava fries, and salmon carpaccio (delicious). For the meats, we really enjoyed the prime rib with cheddar and parmesan filet mignon. The anticucho steak was also nice and juicy. For dessert, the grilled pineapple was a hit across the table, as the charred flavour caramelizes the sugars and enhances the sweetness. The interior was nice and spacious, decorated tastefully and kept clean. The meal surpassed my expectations for an AYCE place that I've always worried would be too gimicky. Would definitely recommend.

Consistently my favourite restaurant in the GTA every year... but I wouldn't say that's everyone's opinion. It is pricey, but to me, worth it! Service: 4.5/5 - When my buddy and I got there, we had a reservation for 9pm but didn't get seated until 9:30. They were extremely busy... so it kind of was a downer for us, especially since I was fasting and came here to break it, expecting to be seated within a few minutes. However, the hosts were still very friendly and you could tell they were trying their best! I just don't get, though, how it could be so delayed... my suggestion would be to let people know when they're seated that they only have 2 hours to eat. That way, when it's up, you know you can seat the next person that's reserved the table. However, as soon as we were seated, the waiters and waitresses were EXCELLENT. Food came pretty frequently, everyone was so friendly checking up on us, and just great, great service, overall. I don't remember it being this efficient or food coming this regularly. Would be giving the service a 5/5 if it wasn't for the wait at the beginning. Ambiance: 5/5 - This is not a spot where you come to chat with a friend and eat; you come here for an entire experience, including the Brazilian dancers that performed halfway through the meal. Also, I'm a huge fan of Spanish music and they played so much good Spanish music throughout the night - hats off to the DJ! Food: 5/5 - again, my favourite restaurant in the GTA. It's not necessarily that it has the best tasting food in the GTA, but the variety of the high quality steaks, that are all packed with flavour... with the pineapple and great appetizers as well, it's just the perfect place for me. I don't remember which steaks to recommend, but they were all really good, except for 1. The cassava fries were awesome too, from the appetizers menu. Can't wait to come back for my birthday!

Love their steaks. Don't over indulge on salads though to make more space for other stuff. Over all, love the service and food.

Food: The food was good. I will say I think the quality is slightly less than Rodeo on the Danforth. We tried a number of their sides: Casava fries, regular fries, corn bread, grilled mushrooms, & braised beef with Casava purée. Hubby & I both thought the Casava fries were the best. For those who haven't been to this restaurant before, it's all you can eat. The servers come around with skewers where they carve the meat off in front of you. They also have boards of dishes. We tried many things: garlic sirloin, garlic shrimp, salmon, top sirloin, flank sirloin, filet mignon, Miami ribs, roasted pineapple, Hawaiian sirloin, chicken piri piri, & sirloin with dry rub. At the end of our meal we tried the three desserts: orange flan, chocolate brownie & vanilla bean gelato. Hubby & I agreed the flan was the best. Ambiance: The decor is nice. Tables are black with black wooden chairs. Booths have green upholstery on it. There are neon signs on the walls & mirror partitions. Looks like there are two bars. The music is loud & you'll be shouting. At 6pm on a Saturday the live DJ comes on & a samba dancer started dancing around the restaurant. We really enjoyed that part. But before we left the loud music was starting to get to me. Not sure about others but too much noise, lights & smells make me feel overstimulated. So if you're looking for a nice quiet place to have dinner this isn't that place. LOL Service: Our waitstaff Hayley & Kenya were really great. The servers with the skewers were all great too. But when we got the bill I was surprised to see an 18% gratuity. It's common to get charged gratuity for groups of 6 & over. But it was just hubby & I. On the bill it says gratuity for parties 1 or over, which is basically everyone. It was not a pleasant surprise. I didn't see anything about that on the website & wasn't warned when we sat down. Also when we were getting ready to leave, hubby went to the bathroom & I was approached by one of the management. He said there was 3 hour limit on the table & we'd almost reached it. He said other people are waiting for the table & he really needs it. I told him that I was just waiting for my hubby to come back & then we would leave. He said ok. It was another not so pleasant surprise. If we'd been warned when we sat down about the gratuity & time limit I think it wouldn't have bothered me as much because I knew what to expect. But I didn't feel so welcome when we were leaving the restaurant. Conclusion: Even though we enjoyed the food & the variety they had, I wish they could cook the meats a little bit more. I don't like seeing blood on my plate. Also I didn't like the two surprises we had with the gratuity & time limit. Btw if you have any intolerance for dairy like me, it's in almost any dish so be careful. Let your waitstaff know of any food restrictions. I'm not sure I would come back. Rodeo treated us much better than Copacabana. I think I'd rather go there even thought it's farther away for us. Update: I looked on the menu & the gratuity info is posted there on the bottom in fine print. I totally missed that. Still nothing about a 3 hour time limit though.

This is an awesome place! I love the unique Brazilian restaurant concept! The restaurant had a modern club feel, dimly lit, high energy music and modern decor. There was a big selection of sides and desserts that you can order from the menu. The meat selection was pretty good not too salty with great flavors. The sirloin, garlic parmesan chicken, shrimp, prime rib, grilled pineapple and fish were my favorite. Definitely come here with an empty stomach. What an excellent experience of quality food options, great service and the ambiance was impeccable with the brazilin Sumba dance throughout the restaurant and free shots every hours of different alcoholic beverages to taste from the bars. The staff was very attentive, and the washrooms were clean. I wish we could move this restaurant to the States! I will definitely be back.

The food was delish... when we actually got served!!! We went to this location on May 18, 2025 for my in-laws 50th anniversary. I told my family that this was a good place to go. Some of our family frequently go to Touro's, another Brazilian restaurant. I wanted them to try Copacabana because we always enjoyed it (we went to the old downtown location a few times before which was amazing!) Well, to say I was disappointed, was putting it mildly. I was embarrassed that I suggested this place. We were a group of 13 ppl. And I know that can be challenging to serve such a big group, but I haven't been so underserved and ignored in an all you can eat Brazilian resto before (and price bracket resto). And we've been to Touro and other Copacabana locations multiple times both before and after the pandemic. My husband said he didn't think he even ate 8 oz of meat in total!!! We were ignored most of the time - I don't think they had enough meat servers to fully feed the ppl in the restaurant. And when we told our main server about it, I'm not even sure she did anything. We finally mentioned it to one of the meat servers and he made such effort to come to us as often as possible and made sure to bring chicken for the three kids in our group. He was the only one that made the night better and not a total joke! For the amount of money that was spent at this restaurant, it was definitely NOT WORTH THE MONEY! And for such a special occasion, it was so disappointing. If I wasn't so embarrassed to my family, I would've definitely demanded to be refunded some of the money. Highly disappointed at this Copacabana location. I suggest the Vaughn location if you want to be feed properly, get your money's worth and have a good experience. Or try Touro's. I wish I had the name of the main server for not taking care of our group and also the meat server ... he was the only one that saved it from being the worst experience.

The food was either overly seasoned or under seasoned. Meat is either too chewy or too burnt. I just didnt have a good experience here. Staff is nice and they come around with different meat options. The place is nice and fancy. But the pricing did not justify. I paid $100 and never again.

Excellent food, terrible logistics. Let's start with what I loved. The food. Excellent fare. All you can eat Brazilian steakhouse with unlimited alcohol options. Doesn't disappoint. The taste is fantastic. Especially their bacon wrapped steak, their cheesy bread and their cilantro lime chicken. Then why am I giving them 3 stars? Few reasons: 1) Terrible logistics will ensure that if you are a small group, you'll receive the food much later than the larger groups. In two hours, the my group of 2 people didn't get the shrimp even once despite reminding them a couple of times. To the point that we were full by the time we told our waitress again and asked her to take our plates away. The bacon wrapped steak also came once and then we got it once more after an hour. I hated how 18% gratuity was included despite terrible service. I am happy to pay good gratuity if the service is actually good. 2) The unlimited drinks on weekdays have a 90 minute limit but they don't do last call reminders. 3) The servers serving the meat were good but our main server who took our order wasn't good. It's worth trying once for their food but I wouldn't care about going back again. If I'm paying north of $80 I expect good service and truly excellent food.

I was so excited to eat here as my parents are from Brasil So I order a green salad and found a hair it ruined my whole experience Bad service and the waitress not even apologized she just said let me bring you a clean plate I'm sad Not worth it One star is what I'll give

TL;DR: Like others have mentioned, go to any location but this one. Frustrating, slow service. I had a very disappointing experience at CopaCabana this past Saturday night. For $100 per person, with an 18% gratuity already added to the bill, we expected much better service. Our server, Nilufer K., was barely present throughout our two-hour visit--only checking in with us four times. We were also served the same two steaks for a large portion of the meal, and after the first hour, we had to request more steak service because we'd only seen it three times. I ordered a drink through the app, and it took a full 30 minutes to arrive, and only after I flagged our server down. The service was painfully slow, and when we were ready to pay, I had to actually ask the manager to track down our server. Instead of bringing the POS machine with them, the server made us wait even longer, and we ended up just leaving cash on the table. Overall, the experience was frustrating and not at all worth the price. I will not be returning.

I wish there was a Copacabana in every city. The meat is so extraordinary. The way it's prepared is unmatched. Yes, there are other Brazilian Rodizio steakhouses in the world, but Copacabana is still my favorite by FAR. That's just the main food! The service - is still rock on the best. I've seen different folks serving and managing, and.. still keeping it up. It's great for a catch up with an evening with a close friend, or a family event. The nights when there's live music, it's very fun and lively. I think i was one of the first customers when this placed opened in 2009.. so.. 15 years later.. wow..that's a lot of Copacabana. Also, unlike every other Brazilian rodizio steakhouse I've tried, I've never craved to go back for more the next day like I have with Copacabana. And yes.. no one also has ever come close to matching the pineapple finish.. Aaaand I'm hungry again.

Our friends recently took us here for a joint bachelor & bachelorette party. We had an wonderful evening with live dancers and amazing food. The restaurant had a modern club feel, dimly lit with neon lights. There was a big selection of sides and desserts that you can order from the menu, and a variety of meats were served by waiters (who thinly sliced the meat from a giant skewer onto your plate). Our favourite sides were the sweet potato fries, pulled pork, and chicken croquettes. The meat was mostly done medium rare (just the way I like it). However, I did find the seasoning of the meat to be a bit on the salty side. Also I had a hard time hearing what the waiters were serving since the music was so loud - so most of the time I didn't know which cuts of meat I was having. Overall, it was a great experience. This is the perfect place for any celebration

The worst experience of my entire life! Was visiting Toronto early November from California, and decided to invite my family out to dinner and based on my experience with Brazilian steakhouses in the USA, I decided to take them to this place. What a mistake!!! The service was terrible. The hostess told my nephew "tell me if you want a lot of soda so I can bring it all at once!" Then she shows up with like four glasses of soda and he only asked for one. After that she forgot to bring all four of our alcoholic drinks and shows up with one, and when I inquired, she said you must've just ordered one, so I placed another order for three more, then she shows up with six, saying oh you must've ordered them all. The meat was not all that good, and the servings were terrible. Comes the check, and they have added 18% tip automatic for a party of five. So I asked them to remove the tip and make it "optional" as it is supposed to be ( I am not a cheap tipper, I just don't like to be forced to tip). This is when all hell broke loose! The guy responds, what? You think we work here for free! So I asked for a manager, he comes and he is even more rude than the boss boy and ruined the entire experience with my family witnessing the whole ordeal! In any case, just be aware of the terrible service that awaits you at this place.

Busy night at the restaurant but that is not really an excuse. If you are seated at table 508 I guess it does not belong to a rotation as getting meat seems to be a miracle when it happens. Weak service quality. Too bad.

Great food, good service, and a nice ambiance. We really enjoyed our meal. The restaurant wasn't too busy which helped.

I've been to this location several times, but lately, it feels like a complete money trap. The service is consistently slow and frustrating. We waited over 1.5 hours and only received about 6 pieces of meat in that time. They bring out meat every 15 minutes or so, and after just a couple of rounds (worth maybe $10-15 of food), you end up feeling full--not from the food but from the long waits in between. The sides we ordered never arrived, and they didn't bring the cornbread or cheese balls, which are usually staples at this restaurant. The waiter kept blaming the kitchen, saying it was busy, but it was a weekday, and the place was only half full. After waiting 75 minutes, and racking up a $200 bill, we left the restaurant still half hungry. The manager was polite and reduced the tip from the bill, but it didn't make up for the poor experience. The food was overpriced for what little we received. It's disappointing to see the decline in service here--what used to be a fun experience has turned into a frustrating, overpriced ordeal.

10/10 experience. The food is absolutely incredible and the service is even better. I would highly recommend visiting this location.

This is an awesome place! I love the unique Brazilian restaurant concept (I don't know anyone who wouldn't love the delicious meats here) and it's perfect for any type of celebration! Highly recommended! Tip. Their chicken is amazing, so don't just focus on the steaks and chops.

I went to the restaurant on eglinton January 26 . I have been to many Brazilian restaurants and this is the first time that all the meat skewer that came to our table was all rare meats. All the other restaurants had the skewers some are med , some were well done as well. I had to wait 20 minutes each time to get well done meats. . If I wanted the steak to be cooked in the back room, I would have gone to a regular steak house. I did complain and all I got was sorry. Very bad customer service From the manager. Manager even came up to us and said next time we come back. they will make sure we get want we want. . News flash. There will NOT be a next time.

I've been to three of the Copacabana locations, this one was my least favorite. The staff is nice but the service just wasn't there, literally. We waited almost an hour for our drink, granted it was a pitcher, but that's just unacceptable especially because we asked twice for an update. They were out of lots of sides and we arrived at 7pm, I would understand if it was closer to closing. The food is great, but I wouldn't come to this location again.

Wow. DO NOT VISIT THIS RESTAURANT! If I could leave a 0 star I would!! What a disappointment and difference from the Copa Cabana of old. I decided to celebrate my birthday at Copa after not having been there in probably a decade. What a mistake. The food was good but the service was not. I'm taking, drinks taking so long that we started ordering 2 at a time, our table constantly being skipped over, and our side orders not being placed. That still wasn't going to get me to write a bad review but here's what did... We mentioned to the manager, Gary, about the service, the server and also commended "JP" who was the only one that ensured we got the things we ordered even though he was not a server. The manager did nothing except thank us for our feed back. Ok fine. When the bill came, there was an 18% gratuity automatically added (Party of 5) . We advised the person cashing us out that we would like to remove the tip and add a manual one ourselves. Shortly after this, the manager came back to our table and refused to take the tip off. He said that based on the fact that there was a birthday dinner (birthday patrons eat for free if there if there are at least 4 paying patrons) he could either charge me for the dinner or remove the tips. I had stayed quiet until this point, however at this point I spoke up. I explained to him that everyone was still intending to tip, cash, however based on the service we were not comfortable with the 18%. He insisted that he could not remove the tip so I asked him, based on the feedback he received, and that he had a table full of people who were extremely disappointed with the service, what he would offer as a solution. He offered for us to pay for all the dinners and remove the tip. Now, for the record, this was offering us absolutely nothing as we would then in fact be paying more. After asking him again if that's what he felt was the best he could offer, he said yes. When I told him ok, leave the tip and we would let the review speak for itself, he said they were used to that and left the table. This is the point that got to me. After the bills were paid, and the rest of my party left, I asked to speak with him again. I simply wanted to ask him why he was not willing to offer disappointed patrons any type of courtesy. I ended up asking for him twice, both times he looked over and walked away, never actually come to speak with me which I found extremely rude. This is clearly not the Copa of old, or a restaurant that appreciates their patrons. They are relying solely on merit which is quickly fading. Please do not visit this restaurant ever!

Copacabana is any carnivore's dream. All you can eat grilled meats and sides? COUNT. ME. IN. Copacabana is an AYCE Brazilian steakhouse which has several locations scattered throughout the GTA. It's known for its grilled meats that are carved table side by waiters and it's magnificent side dishes. The meat quality is out of this world and is always cooked to perfection. My favourites are the garlic sirloin, prime rib with cheddar and the roasted pineapple. The high quality and unlimited quantity does cost a pretty penny though, costing $80 per person during the weekend. So if you're just trying to hit your protein intake at a budget price, I'd look elsewhere. This place screams luxury. On certain days, there are live dancers and music - enhancing the dining experience even more. If you're ever looking for a great dining experience, definitely check one of its locations out!

Service was very slow AND manager was extremely rude when I ask if a friend can join us after dinner just for a drink - he said to me " this type of customer doesn't pay our rent" . WOW . The meet is good, but not worth the silliness of the way the place is run (Yonge & Eglinton)

I have always loved this place up until recently. The food is very tasty and the concept is really fun. Unfortunately the cost of dinner for two people now it runs over $200. We had to make a $200 deposit to book for Valentine's Day. When the bill came, we said we already pre-paid $200 but they insisted we pay the whole bill and will be refunded our $200 the wet method in which we paid to hold the reservation. I thought that was extremely ridiculous. Considering now I'm out $475 and only 275 were for the meal. In addition to that, I've been there with they rip the bills out of everybody's hands because they forgot to add the tip to a group of six or more They often forget the side orders you've requested. I preferred it much much better when you went to the buffet yourself and selected the amount and you yourself would be assured you'd get what you wanted. Considering the huge price tag of a meal combined with the inattentive service at times, paired with limited rotation of all the meats and seafood available, it really isn't worth it. It may be up your alley if you want something different and have loads to spend but when you're spending that much I think you should get exactly what you want with very good service. That is not the case here any longer.

I've been here multiple times for multiple birthday parties. Absolutely love coming here! I had my birthday here last year. They do ask for a deposit now for large events, $20 per person. Ambiance is amazing as per usual :)

Food was delicious but service was subpar. Our food took a while to get to us and some items we ordered never even came. We brought this up to a waitress and it still never came. I still give it 4 stars because I really enjoyed what I did get to eat and the manager was incredible. he went out of his way to help my friend and was just very kind and hilarious. i will be going back and if the service doesn't redeem itself, it will be my last time.

Had a reservation for 730pm on my husbands birthday. Imagine we were seated after 930pm only until after my pregnant sister couldn't manage standing for another minute. Terrible the point of a reservation is to be seated at that time. We wasted 2 hours crammed in the entrance. Staff would not even give an accurate time kept saying in a few minutes. Horrible do not recommend food is okay but for all the waiting with a reservation is not realistic.

What an experience excellent food, great service and the ambiance was impeccable. We are definitely going back. The staff was very attentive, and the washrooms were clean. Can't ask for much more. Definitely worth the price!

Service was weak, did not bring all the meat varieties. Low quality service. Food was fine but it was the same 3 meats over and over. Niagara Falls location has an ambiance that is much more elegant and clean. I would not suggest wasting your money on this. Instead get the proper experience at Niagara Falls or Vaughn. Eglinton is terrible.

Service! I look young so I was NOT catered to in the way I should I have, mainly ignored.

Oh Lord, you think for $50/person you can eat your heart out, but with eating meat after meat, you can get full real quick! The trick to this place is strategy! Right off the bat the waiter tells us there's 16 meats coming out to try, so we could start with hitting the buffet and grabbing some starters like salads, breads, and pasta. TIP: Serve the very minimal amount of everything just so you've had a little taste, the real food is on it's way! We tried to keep count and remember everything we ate, but by meat #7, we were only able to remember our faves, which was the Brazilian house steak and the filet mignon wrapped in bacon! Some other dishes that were pretty good were the Parmesan chicken and the fried bananas! Pro tip to try it all if you've never been, every time they come around, ask for small slivers of each to try. Don't feel the need to finish each portion right away as you can slowly scope out which ones you like best and reorder more of that at the end! The ambiance was also super cute because every so often they had a show with girls in full costume dancing and guys playing the drums. They also had a couple live singers up performing at the front. The staff were also amazing. Always checking on us to see what's up, what we liked, and what meats we wanted to come our way. Overall, very cool experience! A little pricey for a casual dinner but worth checking out for when you've got a special occasion or looking to try something new!

Reservation were made for 8pm but didn't get the table in time. The waitress just checked us in the waiting list at 8pm. I don't believe that's how reservations work as it's same as walk in

I absolutely love this place. I think it's ideal for meat lovers. We were here Friday night when they have bigger selection of steaks, as well as chicken and fish. Also I love corn bread and cheese bans. I would recommend to come there a bit earlier like at 5-5:30 pm because there are less people and you will get food circulate faster around you and by the time you are done the music and show starts at 7 pm and you can enjoy it without worrying about getting fed. The salad bar has good selection of salads and cheeses, again I don't eat much there as I want to have enough space for steaks, they are excellent. The service is great as well, they do make sure you are fed well and tried all you wanted!

Good variety of high end meet cuts ! Amazing vibe and great customer service ! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for an upscale entertaining diner spot !

The food was good but since corona they haven't brought back the open salad bar which is a shame. That was one of the the main reasons why I used to go regularly

I have just had dinner together with my wife and my daughter at Eglinton branch to celebrate Father's Day, we were seated within the indoors area at around 6:30 PM; I'm a customer of Copa Cabana since long ago; as usual food was great, vibes were really good; our table was served by two staff members, Subin, who was really great service provider, very dynamic, extremely pleasant and responsive to all our requests; however, the other service provider, Joao was (without any exaggeration), the worst waiter I have ever come across in my life (I'm 61 years old man), extremely dry, unpleasant, careless and disrespectful; I very cordially tried to draw his attention to his attitude, he gave me no chance to finish my comment, he cut me off and very arrogantly and carelessly said while leaving the space of my table, you can talk to the manager if you wish, which I did; the manager knew who's he before I even tell him which waiter I'm talking about, I asked the manager to tell him not to serve the table until we leave and I also asked him to give me his name , he was reluctant and told me that the guy is a troublemaker and that today is his last day in the restaurant, he gave me his name only when I insisted; end result is that the mood was completely ruined and instead of enjoying our time, we finished our dinner and left the place very tensed; I decided to never go again to Eglinton branch; obviously my above 2-star rating would have been much higher if Mr. Joao wasn't serving us.

I came to Copacabana for my birthday celebration with my family. We came on a weeknight and it was actually hard getting reservations because of corporate Christmas events. Book in advance if you plan on coming here in near the holiday season! Service was great. Both our waitress and the waiters who come out with the meats were very friendly. You'll be given a coaster which has red and blue on either sides. Red represents "NO MORE MEAT!", and blue represents "PLEASE FEED ME MORE!". We successfully went through many rounds of "Blue". This is mainly because we had 3 guys at our table, who are competitive carnivores *thumbs up*. Part of the reason why we were able to go through so many rounds was because the "meat waiters" challenged the guys' meat-ability. The situation went down like this: Meat-waiter: "COM'ON.. CAN YOU HANDLE MORE?!" Our tables' competitive carnivores: *insert silent nod* and *flips coaster to blue* hahaha Highlights of the night include: * Parmesan cheese rib eye * Cheese infused prime ribs * Chimichurri steak * Corn bread (This was so gooood! We were planning not to try it but I was like.. meh, why not. Glad I did. The bread was sweet and spongy!) * Fried bananas

Reservation was made at 5 which is when the doors open. We were seated quickly. My boyfriend suggested not getting anything from the buffet because I would fill up quick. I didn't really listen and the meat took 30 minutes before it was ready to serve, so I ate a little more than I intended while waiting for the meat. However the wait I believe was only because we came as doors where opening. After the meat started coming it was constant and quick. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely incredible. My favorite was prime rib with cheese. Just wow. I can't wait to go back for that! My boyfriend has been many times and this is a place he wanted to take me, he's told me about it after many trips to visit him but we finally went. And was well worth the wait. They were also setting up a live band but we left before they had started. We also order Bellinis which were not what we expected. They aren't frozen drinks like the other restaurants. They were happy to get us another drink. We ordered pina coladas and they were perfect!

It was my first time going here ever after years of wanting to try it. The ambiance is really nice with dim lighting and lots of seating. I just didn't like where we were seated--it was for a birthday celebration and where we were placed, the birthday boy had people continuously walking behind him and it was a tight squeeze (to the point where he had to move his chair closer to the table just to accommodate people walking behind him). There was a lot of meats (obviously) came our way, most of which we both enjoyed. We just didn't like how all of them were cooked rare, like I had blood on all my plates which is not a nice view. However, one of the meat carvers was very understanding and even cooked the meat we asked for well done. For the buffet, it was mediocre. The lasagne was actually disgusting, cold (although it was in one of those warmers), dry and just overall very bland in taste. I did enjoy the rice with black beans and the fruit spinach salad (I went back up twice for this). As for our waitress, she was very sweet and friendly but all I can say is that common sense isn't so common anymore. I had come in the restaurant a couple hours prior to my reservation as I wanted to surprise the birthday boy with a special cake I had ordered. I explained to the hostess that it was a surprise and so we would be ready for the cake after we were done eating our meals. So our waitress now, comes up to my table after we're done eating and asks us if we're ready for the cake to be brought out. I mean commonsense would tell me to not ruin the surprise, so I wasn't very thrilled about that. Other than that she was very sweet but just for future reference, if the cake is supposed to be a surprise, don't announce it to the birthday boy. We also had plates break right beside our table 2 separate times so I guess we weren't seated in the best spot. To drink I got the Brazilian sangria which was actually very delicious so I would totally try that again. Overall, I had an OK time here and wouldn't be opposed to coming back but I'd probably try the Adelaide location which is apparently much nicer.

Being a big fan of this chain, All locations are unique and have something special to offer.. This original location gets very busy very fast, weekends or not, they're always packed..this might affect your experience if you're a smaller group, as they seat you with a limit of 1.5-2hours, in order to turn tables and seat the next group. Prices are standard across the chain I believe, with $5-$10 less on weekdays vs weekends. They have live Brazilian samba dancers on weekends, which adds a lot of hype to the place. Very accommodating staff, especially the general manager who was at this location, and he had moved to the Adelaide location when it first opened. For a specific reason on one of our visits, one of our guests could not have meat, only seafood, the GM simply created a whole grilled rodeo menu for seafood especially just for her, including shrimp, salmon, etc...which wasn't even on the menu for that day. This is a recipe' for success at any business, when your staff/management go above and beyond to accommodate your guests' requests. Located closer to the intersection of Yonge and Eglinton, parking could be a real issue. However, parking space can be found on side-roads with a small hourly fee.

took an hour for drinks and had a reservation and had to wait another 30 min just a bar restaurant

My work Christmas party was held at Copacabana on a Thursday night. It was packed in here with families, large groups, and other parties. From Sunday to Thursday, you can have unlimited M E A T and enjoy the salad bar for $40. The salad bar is self-serve and the meat comes around to tables on a skewer. I found the service to be excellent; staff came around often offering us a variety of meats along with fried bananas and cheese balls. The salad bar had A LOT of items to choose from, including pasta salads, pizza, sweet potato mash, rice, sauteed vegetables to name a few. I really enjoyed the ambiance - live music in a lounge setting was awesome. Make sure to come here on an empty stomach. There is a lot of food - speaking to colleagues the day after, many were still stuffed from the night prior. Good for: groups, parties

Happy birthday, mom! Hope you enjoyed your birthday present! In one of my family's rare midtown trips, we decided to visit this place after hearing/seeing great reviews on it, and the fact we wanted to try steak from a place that's not American or Chinese. We didn't get the memo that there was free parking at the rear, so we ended up parking a block down in one of the paid garages. The salad bar was, to be honest, nothing special. I would personally pass on it unless you really want your veggies. Besides, you're coming here for the meat, in which I was not disappointed. Despite the fact I went on a weekday, the meat variety is still quite decent, with flank steak, sirloin, turkey bacon, pork sausage, rib eye with cheese, filet mignon, Brazilian veal chop, and the last one I forgot but it had vinaigrette sauce. The standout ones were definitely the veal chop, rib eye with cheese, and pork sausage. Aside from the meats, the restaurant also serves up some nice desserts including pineapple, corn and cheese bread, and baked puff. All of them tasted excellent, especially the pineapple. Where this place loses a star would be because the bill took 10 minutes to come, even though our table was right next to the cash register. The manager eventually said it was a printer problem, but it was rather inconvenient since we paid our parking space for 90 minutes and were approaching the 90 minute limit. Regardless, I'll come back for our next major occasion. This place is not as busy during weekday nights, so if you don't want to wait I suggest you come then.

There's too much at steak in this review so I have to make sure it's perfect. I hope it's not a rare opinion. I made a reservation here for my family and myself as a celebratory dinner for my graduation and I couldn't be more pleased with the way we were treated. They called ahead to confirm the table, and welcomed us very pleasantly as we walked through the door and had our table already prepared for us. Our server gave us a run-down of how the meal works - Buffet, then the meat is delivered to you, and then pineapple for dessert The meal starts off with the buffet (it's a set menu) which is stacked with items to prep you for the meat that's about to come. The buffet has items ranging from fish fillet, Mac n Cheese to sweet potato noodles, mashed potatoes, garlic bread, and other vegetables. My family generally likes their meat to be well done so all our meat was extremely tender and had a lot of juices flowing out of it. We were served around 10-12 different types of meat ranging from Chicken to beef to lamb (We don't eat pork). There was not a single delay in getting our food and the staff just kept bringing it out for us, which was great! The pineapple was a wonderful way to top off the whole meal! The only qualms I have about this place is that they don't bother checking dietary restrictions or choose to ignore them and they don't try to accommodate you as well (The meat is NOT halal; 2 of our family chose not to eat the meat but the servers still would force them to try some; they brought pork to our table after we were explicitly told them not to) Other than that, the staff were friendly, our host was sweet, the food was delicious and the ambience was through the roof! It was an absolutely amazing experience and I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fancy dinner/date! PS Copa Cabana is free on your birthday!!!

This was my second visit to Copa Cabana since moving to Toronto a few months ago. Both experiences were almost identical. The service was the only low point of the night (not terrible, but not up to par) Very slow to refill drinks and clear plates, and tough to flag down. We had to keep asking other staff to send our server over. They have a decent selection of salads and cold items at the buffet (I didn't try any of the hot buffet items) and the breads they have are fantastic. There was a cranberry orange loaf that was still warm, and so delicious. I could've easily filled up on that. The servers bring around freshly made corn bread, fried bananas and fries to the tables. The bananas have WAY too much sugar for my taste, but I love the corn bread. The main event, of course, is that they bring around a wonderful selection of spit-roasted meats to slice at the tables. They can be a bit salty for some (perfect for me) but the quality is fantastic. Probably the best chicken I've ever had in a restaurant (you could just cut it with your fork!) and the other meats are so tender and flavourful. The highlight of the evening, though, is the entertainment; beautiful Brazilian dancers / performers and fantastic music. It's very loud but such a great vibe! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely return.

I Loved this Place. Came here for a gathering which in the end I'm glad I missed. With that said, Ragi (my female server) made me & my wife feel welcomed and certainly represented the restaurant to the highest professional level. She gave great suggestions on deals, food and drinks not to mention she was pleasing to the eyes. The atmosphere was very much casual but the decor was good enough for even a formal dinner. First time here and I WILL definitely return again. Found out on Wednesday & Friday nights they also have belly dancing , have to get the full Brazilian experience. Lol Great restaurant, great atmosphere, great people

Came here for dinner last night. They have maybe 10-15 different rodizio meat choices. It is a little pricey but hey I cant complain much when I end up stuffing myself to the point of high discomfort, from nonstop round after round of flavourful delicious AYCE meats. Most choices are steak, some chicken, one each of lamb/sausage/salmon - which we never saw brought out. Some meats are infused with cheese or wrapped in bacon. All of them are medium to medium rare except for the chicken and I would guess also the lamb/sausage/salmon that we didnt get this time. Another rave about this place is their side dishes buffet bar, serving everything from cheesy bread, naans, mashed potato, lasagnas, mac n cheese to salads, salsas, sauteed broccoli (or mushrooms) that were so good, and lots of cheeses. Usually you try to minimize eating the side dishes, but here its too good to be missed. They didnt have the Brazilian belly dancers here last night but the other three times I visited on Fridays/Saturdays, they did and it was silly fun to watch as they also interacted with some customers. One thing they should improve on is serving people who just arrived first. Seemed like the servers kept bringing the fresh meats to their fav big tables first while passing by us even when we just arrived (probably for tips), we were super hungry as it was kind of late so by the time they got to us they were done with that particular meat... and we also sat right by the kitchen... they did redeem themselves a bit by asking us near the end (where we were already full) if we had any special requests for them to bring out, which I could not reject no matter how much I wanted to hurl by this point... so I said "Yes please, more parmesan crusted chicken, spicy morrocan chicken, and caramlized pineapples!".
