South Florida’s Best Brazilian Restaurants | Eater Miami

"Fogo de Chao focuses on fire-cooked meats served rotisserie-style. Opt for the rodizio service and Brazilian-cowboy-clad waiters will bring a 35-cut assortment with plenty of sides, including rice, yucca, cheese bread, and beans. The meal also features unlimited trips to the elaborate market table and feijoada bar, brimming with soups, appetizers, cold cuts, and hot dishes. Cap off the meal with either papaya cream topped with black currant liqueur or Brazilian-style flan." - Juliana Accioly

Traveling alone in a foreign country can feel isolating, but my dinner at Fogo de Chão was a beautiful reminder that kindness needs no translation. From the moment I stepped inside, I was met with genuine warmth—especially from Isabel, whose kindness turned my evening into something unforgettable. She welcomed me with a smile so sincere it instantly put me at ease. As a first-time guest and a solo diner, I had many questions. Isabel answered every one with patience, grace, and a touch of joy that made me feel truly cared for. She made wonderful recommendations and even ensured my favorite cuts arrived just when I wanted them. Her presence felt less like a server’s and more like a friend’s. The food was incredible, but what made the night truly special was the team. Every staff member treated me with such respect and warmth. It didn’t feel like dining out—it felt like being invited in. To Isabel, and to all the staff at Fogo de Chão: thank you. You gave one traveler a meal—and a memory—I will cherish forever.

I was in Miami for a work event. The company hosting bought out the restaurant. The food was never ending and delicious. I had the pleasure of meeting 2 Alex’s at the restaurant. Alex the server was amazing and very attentive. Alex the bartender created a drink just for me (we decided to call it Michelle on the beach). The whole experience was amazing and delicious!! A must try if you are in Miami.

From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch — and a special shoutout goes to Henry, our server, who truly made our evening unforgettable. He was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. The meats were perfectly cooked and just kept coming (as they should!), and the salad bar was fresh and full of amazing options. But it was Henry’s hospitality and professionalism that really stood out — he treated us like royalty! We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be asking for Henry again. Thank you for such a delicious and memorable dining experience!

Joao was our waiter and he was great. Friendly, checked in a great amount of times he is very personable and explained the experience for us and answered all of our questions. The atmosphere of the restaurant was 10/10 I came here for wedding lunch and honestly what a great day and restaurant my husband chose.

We usually visit other locations, but last night was our first time at the South Beach location—and it was fantastic! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, the service was excellent, and the food was just as incredible as we’ve come to expect. The steak was cooked to perfection, and every dish was full of flavor. We’re so glad we decided to try this location and will definitely be coming back!

I've never had a bad experience at a Fogo de Chao, and this place added to my pleasant experiences. The servers and manager were incredibly nice and attentive. It wasn't too busy the night I visited, so it was a nice comforting experience.

El lugar espectacular, bastante sorprendente, el salad bar fue lo que más me gustó cada cosa que probé: el sweet bacon, humus de remolacha, coliflor, brócoli, jamón crudo, porotos etc etc etc MUY bueno, pedimos picana para acompañar y MUUUUUUUY bueno. Nos atenderon Santiago, Edmilson y Manuel que no explicó el menú y recomendó unos drinks buenisi

I had the worst possible experience at this steakhouse! I went with my friends on January 1st, we just had the salad bar ( we dont eat meat), and as soon as we said that would be salad bar only, the started treating us poorly. We asked for water 3 times and nobody would bring it, we were even asked " you dont eat meat?" Our main server didn't checked on us once. Just because we dont eat meat, you need to treat us in this way? Like we dont have money to pay for it? Also the food ia very bad, rice and beans seems like made the day before and no taste, the street corn horrible. I will never come back to this place anymore.

Sure! Here's a review: Disappointing Experience at Fogo de Chão I had high hopes for Fogo de Chão, but my visit was incredibly disappointing. The meat, which should be the star of the show, was tough, dry, and often overcooked. It certainly did not reflect the high-quality cuts you'd expect for the premium prices they charge. The manager offered me a Filet Mignon cut, but it never came. When I asked him about it, he pretended as if he forgot, when he just never ordered it. Major BSer. For the price, I expected much better quality and attention to detail. Definitely not worth it--won't be returning. Stay away and find an Argentinian steak house. Texas De Brazil is also 10x better.

I've been to Fogo many times and it never disappoints! This time we came in for lunch on Xmas day, it was busy but we got seated right away. The service was top notch and we ordered some lime caipirinha to start. Immediately once we turned the card over we had a gentleman offer us picanha which is our favorite cut! It was super juicy and cooked medium which is how we like it! I tried the rice, beans, candied bacon and Cesar salad from the salad bar and everything tasted fresh and delicious. We skipped on dessert because we were stuffed but next time we have to try it.

My old pun from my Miami Lakes days is still valid as I can never be a vegetarian. This continues with the last weekend in Miami spice where I met a friend for dinner. I'll tell you if you are a meat lover, Fogo is the kind of place where both your tummy and your pockets will leave very happy. Their $45 dinner menu has as much of a spread as if you went full price (I think only two types of cuts are not in the Spice menu). You definitely will have to put to use the little yes and no signs on the table because the flow of meat, of delicious yummy meat is practically nonstop! We first started off with their salad bar, from which everything I tried tasted fresh. My favorites were the caprese salad, ají cachucha (sweet peppers), as well as a corn and tomato salad. I didn't see the feijoada although it was listed in the menu. Of the meat cuts, I definitely loved the picanha, both the steak & chicken medallions as well as the sirloin. I found the chicken to be pretty juicy as well. We did have to remind them to bring us the queijo asado (fire grilled Brazilian cheese with honey drizzle) as it was on the menu but hadn't made it to our table. As far as desserts we tried both the Creme brûlée and brigadiero. The creme brulle was definitely my favorite with its lightly crispy crust and berry garnish. The brigadero seemed lacking; it looked like just a regular piece of chocolate cake. The ambience was very nice, with the right amount of lighting and a certain corporate luxe. Lighting over the salad bar was my "architectural highlight". By the way, salad bar ingredients were deliciously fresh but some weren't labeled. This could be an issue for someone with allergies. Service was pretty attentive the whole evening as well. I'd definitely come back for regular dinner.

This was my first time at any Fogo de Chao location. I called at 5:30 to make a reservation for 6:30 and the girl at the desk told me that they were very booked. I asked if they could accommodate walk-ins, she said maybe. So i went to OpenTable and made a reservation. Funny enough every 15 mins were available online for appointments, so pretty much the hostess/receptionist that answered my call sucked. I arrived with my mom for dinner. In the elevator we met a walk-in who was sat right away because MOST OF THE RESTAURANT was free at 6:30PM. Service was impeccable. Julianna waited on us and she was very friendly and welcoming. We had picanha, fraudinha, sausage, lamb and of course the buffet. The buffet included all of the Brasilian staples. Farofa, molho vinagrete, palmitto, cold cuts and salads. I could eat like this every night. The ambiance was very inviting. The lighting and the music create the perfect atmosphere for something romantic or great for a large party. I will definitely come back. I am already craving the steak. As for parking, there is a garage behind it that leads into the restaurant and valet upfront

I love Happy Hour here, great food, very good drinks, at the bar and Patio they have Happy Hour all day every day, just amazing But service nowadays is pretty bad, we went at 4 pm, nobody was there and yet it took forever to get the food, we had 3 different bartenders while there and not once one of them asked if we wanted to order something else, every time we had to call them to order, ask about our foo etc. I hope the service can improve going forward, I know there has been a management change, not sure if that is the reason, it will not stop me going there, I just hope to have a better service next time.

Went for lunch today with friends. Salad bar (their market table) is sweeping and more than you can imagine. M-F they have a Gaucho lunch option of just the bar at $10 and you can add an additional protein item (cuts of steak or chicken) for $8-10 more. The bar itself had a chicken salad, bacon, multiple sliced pork cuts, as well as around 30 items as well as Fiejoada and fruit Deal of the neighborhood -- said as a homeowner Ask for server Jhoanna - she's my favorite

Do not do the Wagyu & Wine event. They ran out of food with around 70% capacity. Steak was mediocre as there was barely any seasoning. There were supposed to be side-by-side steaks. Only one cut was served. We left hungry and disappointed.

THE BEST HAPPY HOUR - somehow, not many people know about the happy hour at Fogo de Chao. It is all day, everyday when you sit at their bar or patio. Drinks are decently priced but very delicious. We had the rose on happy hour and it was light and not acidic like most cheap happy hour wines. As for food- that is the highlight. We got the chicken sliders ($6!), the Churrasco Board, and the Polenta Fries. Although the board was a bit more of a tougher meat, the sliders and polenta fries came through. Each served with a delicious pink sauce, I absolutely love this place. The service was phenomenal at the bar, you will not be disappointed.

Came here for Miami Spice with a friend. The atmosphere was nice. It had a typical upper scale chain restaurant vibe. The salad bar had a lot of options and was very fresh. They brought out wonderful sides of polenta, mashed potatoes, and glazed bananas. The meats were really good and plentiful. I really enjoyed the top sirloins and the lamb option. During our dinner they also had a bartender make specialty Brazilian drinks at the table. The overall experience was good, but not necessarily standout. It's one of those places you go to when you are in a mood for a lot of food and fun with family or a large group.

Restaurant Review: I had high hopes for this visit, but unfortunately, it fell short. Despite having a reservation, it took 15 minutes for someone to even acknowledge me at the counter and seat me. The restaurant wasn't busy, which made the slow service even more baffling. The food was another letdown. The meat, which should have been the star of the meal, consistently came out cold. The servers didn't seem in a rush to bring out fresh options either. The highlight of the experience was, surprisingly, the bacon at the salad bar--it was flavorful and well-prepared. However, that alone wasn't enough to salvage the overall experience. If they can work on improving their service speed and food quality, this place might have potential, but as it stands, I wouldn't rush back.

It is no longer good. They don't have carpaccio on the salad buffet, the black beans are tasteless and the quality of the meat's aren't like it used to be. The pork was very dried and picanha, no words to describe!

I had Fogo de Chāo's Picanha, a tender seasoned thin sliced steak, with robust flavor, and the Medalhōes Com Bacon, also a tender seasoned steak wrapped in hardwood smoked, honey cured bacon. Both are delicious and cooked to perfection! Had these with quinoa tabbouleh, steamed brocolli and feijoada and rice or black beans and white rice. The Frango, which is marinated chicken legs and thighs is tender and very tasty as well. The warm Paō De Queijo, a gluten-free warm soft cheese rolls made of yuca flour and parmesan cheese is also very good! A must try!

Visited for a girls night. The ambiance was cold, typical steakhouse aesthetic. The waiters were attentive and friendly. We were excited to try this place but unfortunately the food and their salad bar was VERY underwhelming in every way. We opted out of the endless meat rotation and just ordered entrees with access to the salad bar. They served us a really small portion of mashed potatoes, sweet plantain and fried yuca as a side and it was tasteless. The salad bar options wasn't great either and the chef who made my salmon was scared of seasoning because it had none. The drinks were the only stars of the night. Would recommend the bar for drinks, appetizers or maybe the FT Lauderdale location, but you would probably get better food and better bang for your buck at Texas de Brazil.

Went for happy hour. Drinks were great. Patio doesn't have a fan so I'd advise sitting inside if it's hot out. Service was good. Had the pincha burger. Not a big fan of the fries but for $10 you can't beat it!

I went to visit for Miami Spice. I really loved how the inside looked. The salad bar to me stole the show instead of what we had. Our server was nice. So much food being served to us. But we got repeats of the chicken which was decent. The steak was okay, the honey bread was really good too! Unfortunately, the bread and the mashed potatoes were lackluster for me. I wish the bread was fresh because I really like it and it fell short. I got the mozarella from the salad bar and other things and I loved it! It was just the best for me out of all the meats given to us which was the highlight for me. I think the service was great. The guy who made the drink for me had to put on a show and I just felt awkward looking at him making my drink. Lol. Other than that it was an okay experience for Miami Spice.

Celebrated 50years birthday....got the diamond package came out to 180$ per person...spent over 2k ...wanted to add one more hour of premium bar which is $20 per person and they would no. Said I needed to say that in the beginning how were we suppose to know we wanted to stay an extra hour? Horrible service after that. Our waiter couldn't speak English don't even know if he was speaking Spanish . We had a party of 12 paid only 11 showed up and they won't refund said to use the 180$ in beverages ...service was slow by the time meats came to our private room we were ready to leave. Must be under new management ...never again.

I ordered takeout here. On arriving at the front desk, the bag with my items is on the table. But the waitress insists that she seats several people in the line (who are all behind me), first. while I wait. staring at the bag with my food in it. she then disappears while I wait for her to come back, a child vomits all over her mom and all over the floor. the servers literally just continue to walk past it. for several minutes. some of them literally walking in it. a different guy then eventually appears and I say i'm here to pick up my food. I point to the one takeout bag that's still on the table. he then starts grilling me on its contents and whether or not i've paid for it. fair enough . I guess they don't put names on the bags. they should. I eventually arrive back home. I open the bag. no cutlery. and one of the items is wrong (I ordered asparagus and not broccoli). the meat I ordered is great. as I eat it with my fingers. i guess have to eat the key lime pie like a slice of pizza. probably the most chaotic pick-up experience ever!

Fogo de Chao was an excellent date spot. My friend wasn't hungry and would do whatever I wanted. After some discussion we chose Fogo de Chao but lacked a reservation for a holiday weekend. Graciously we were seated at a high top in the bar. Then my not hungry date and I discussed dinner. Reluctantly he chose picanha still not hungry and I chose the sea bass. The food was delicious. My date had countless rounds of picanha complete with plantains and other sides. He liked the picanha so much that he was given a whole picanha steak from the skewer. We have talked about how much we enjoyed Fogo de Chao several times since then. Highly recommend!

They have a large list of meats on their menu but you won't see most of them if you go. If there is something you want you should study the menu and ask for it right away. Be sure to get extra because you may not get another chance. If you don't specifically ask for a meat you want (check online menu) they will keep bringing over cheap cuts to fill you up. The service is generally pretty good. But with the high price it is hard for me to get excited about going to Fogo again.

I went for my anniversary last night with my boyfriend, and we have been to multiple locations of Fogo because we really like it. But this was by far the most disappointing one. They shouldn't call it the churrasco experience (all you can eat) if they start to ignore you an hour in and stop bringing food to the table. Our server was nice but I think we fell for a marketing tactic in which she asked if we wanted water and brought us two bottles ($5 EACH) and we didn't realize until later that it meant we would be charged. Like damn we are just college students trying to have a nice time and stay within budget. Ok whatever, thats on us. By far the most disappointing meat cuts out of all the locations, most was dry, way too salty. And the side dishes looked like they were out for an hour before they brought it. Lastly (the WORST of it) was that there was bugs crawling all over the receipt folder thing. My boyfriend and I were pretty grossed out. They were small but this "high-class" "fine dining" restaurant shouldn't have that happening. Not worth the price, won't be going to this location again in the near future.

I recently tried Fogo De Chao while I was in Miami on a business trip. The atmosphere and food was great. The only complaint that I had was that the restaurant advertised a $39.00 dinner special which I even verified when I got there and the waiter explained that the special didn't come with certain items which I said was ok but they ended up bring out everything and charging me the regular $69.00 price and wouldn't do anything about it. The other thing was they advertised Valet parking but after using the service, they told me that I could not pay for the Valet service with my bill because it was a different company and the company only accepted cash.I would definitely try the place again if they were not so deceiving

Came to this location with friends, sat at the bar since the group wanted that spot. It was a nightmare ... both my bf and I ordered the chicken sliders.... Both orders were raw! The restaurant was empty so there was no excuse for the lack of care during preparation. Grilled cheese tasted like plastic and the drinks weren't great. Chill ambiance and music were accompanied by their stunning Christmas tree, only good thing about the spot. Restrooms were dirty. Service on behalf of Desiree and the manager were unpleasant. With so many places to choose from in South Beach, I'd go anywhere but here.

We went on Thanksgiving as it was a celebration for my son's birthday as well, so we knew it would be busy and came prepared. However, no one refilled our water glasses without us having to ask. Two of us got the table side meat service, while others at our table did not, so we kept getting forgotten. We had to go out of our way to flag the meat people down - which seemed so beggy and annoying - but we are paying customers like everyone else. The sides didn't get brought to our table to until over an hour into our dining experience. They didn't even bring out the entree for one of our party, and she had to have it taken off the bill. The waiter seemed annoyed when asked. I would not return to this location again. We didn't get what we paid for, and while the restaurant was nice and the food we did get was enjoyable, it left us feeling like we should have just gone to a Chili's or something

Ely wqs my server. She was so sweet and kept a smile on her face. She checked on us from time to time but it wasn't overbearing. The food was EXCELLENT!! I had the lamb chops and my husband the burger and bone ribs with chimmichuri sauce. The drinks were excellent as well. The only person that wasn't pleasant was the front desk person. When my husband and I arrived, she was on the phone; never greeted us when she got off. She walked away and we were just standing there. That's when she and Ely came over. Ely greeted us and asked if we had reservations. We told her no but we were here for happy hour. The rest is as I mentioned earlier. They received the stamp of approval from me at Fogo de Chao Las Olas

So disappointed with our first experience at this restaurant. We went as a part of a wedding party last night with high expectations since we've heard great things about this place. The servers were very kind but we kept having to ask for the meat to be brought out because by the time they'd reach our side of the table the meat was over since it was a big table. They'd also completely forget about our side and they'd skip us so we barely tried any meats at all and basically paid for salad. The only meat we tried was the picanha and steak wrapped in bacon which was delicious. We asked several times for our meat medium well which was most of our table's preferences yet it was always either rare or well done and we had to basically skip those. The desserts were ok, the chocolate one was good but nothing amazing. The strawberry cheesecake was pretty good probably the best out of the three we tried. The key lime one was not good, it has the most artificial lime taste ever. We had a great time since we were with friends and family but I wouldn't go back and I definitely wouldn't consider hosting an event here unfortunately.

Started the evening off by valet parking costing us 45 minutes waiting in the front then they did not honor our reservation due to the lack of their valet parking logistics completely ruined Valentine's Day. I would never in 1 million years ever go back to this place by the time we got to find another restaurant in town it was already too late as the majority of things close at 10 PM And they should be held accountable for ruining out what was supposed to be a memorable evening .. this restaurant and Company, as a whole should be ashamed of their self

Honestly the service here was not great at the start. Our server MEG, didn't come by to check in on us, took so long to bring us bread, didn't know how to open or pour a bottle of wine, my glass would be empty and she'd pass by and just not even look over at us, we were never offered fresh plates when needed, and when we finally got them the gauchos did not come by for over ten minutes. A gaucho even ended up giving a us attitude since we complained - saying that they are so busy and we need to be understanding. excuse me? You're still charging us the same amount and we haven't been rude to you,It's not my fault that you failed to prepare for today's cover. The manager came by after I asked for him and after that for a few minutes the gauchos surrounded us. So I did appreciate him for doing that so my family could try some other cuts of meats. The waiters here tip share so I guess that's why Meg didn't feel the need to do her job. I flagged our server over ONCE, and she said "you know if you need help you can ask the other servers since we all work together." I mean... then why do I see the other servers being so attentive to their tables and not you? Also, Meg never checked in on us after one of the managers came by, honestly so disappointing. I worked in service and if a manager came to my table I would run over! We came here to celebrate my brother's birthday dinner after eating at the Fuego de Chao in orlando (which was AMAZING!!, great service & location). HOWEVER.. Genaro was the server for the two tables near us, and he was VERY ATTENTIVE to his tables and ended up taking our table since Meg didn't give us any attention. He brought us fresh plates, asked the meat to come around, took our desert orders and more. The other manager we spoke to Violeta was very understanding, she listened to our concerns and did what she could to make our experience better. Very appreciative of Violeta and Genaro! They really did make this experience much better! Overall I feel like this place could have been better and we just didn't get good server to start with. The food that did come around was delicious, and the restaurant it self is in a good location, plays good music at a nice volume, and has romantic lighting. I would come back and try this place again now that I know who to ask for!

Easily five stars. The accommodations were adequate, the wait staff were amazing and the meat came out hot each time. The salad bar was smaller in scale in comparison to other locations I've been to but the selection was more than enough. The only disappointment is that I didn't get lamb chops but other than that, no complaints here.

Amazing service, it's was our first time dining here I came with 4 other friends, the meat just kept on coming, it was amazing! Service was fast, the host was the sweetest, great communication, great service, food, drinks, and the QUALITY was outstanding! Great ambiance, it was calm lofty, warm. DEFINITELY great place for a birthday dinner or romantic dinner. Love this place! Thank you to Kathy! And Mari our host was amazing!! Cant thank enough the greatest experience. Unique to say the least.

As regular patrons of this restaurant, we have always enjoyed our visits and praised the exceptional service. However, our recent experience was far below par, leaving us greatly disappointed since it was supposed to be a special Father's Day lunch. Firstly, the service within the restaurant was uncharacteristically slow. It took an excessive amount of time for the meat cuts to arrive, leaving us waiting with increasing hunger and frustration. The lack of attentiveness from the waitstaff was evident, as they appeared overwhelmed and inattentive to our needs throughout the meal. To add to our disappointment, the valet parking service was equally disappointing. We waited an astonishing 30 minutes for our car to be retrieved. This extended delay not only inconvenienced us but also tarnished our overall dining experience. As regular customers, we expected a level of service that was consistent with our previous visits. Regrettably, this experience fell significantly short of our expectations, leaving us questioning the quality of service and attention to detail that we had come to appreciate. We hope that this review serves as constructive feedback for the restaurant management. We believe in the potential for improvement and trust that they will address these issues promptly to ensure future patrons receive the exceptional service they deserve.

The service was AMAZING! By far the best service at any Fogo we've ever been too. I couldn't BELIVE they beat NOLA but this. Is the Best group of the a chain. They were all so nice and fun and energetic. The only bad thing we experienced were the beef ribs. They cut my piece across the top and it was all charred. Barley any edible meat. Everywhere else they cut at the angle or off the bone so you get a piece of char as a crust on the meat. The only issue was at first most of the meats were medium well and not medium, but they were still tender and delicious so I didn't mind as much. Now as for the food... GREAT GREAT great AS ALWAYS. This location had lamb and lamb chops. We did have the Picanah lamb and it was good, I've never had this at any other locations so I guess it's a Florida/Miami addition. By the time the lamb chops came out we had finished eating. So we didn't get to try them. But they LOOKED GOOD! Also, this bar has fresh jalapeños and I actually wanted these a few weeks ago at the DC LOCATION, so it was good to see them on the bar here. The feta was good but not as seasons as some other locations. They also had a more reddish potato salad and hummus, all again good good good. We were celebrating our birthdays so they allowed me to use the bday coupon and gave my husband the free dessert. They offered me a feee dessert as well but I don't really eat sweets. But again did I tell you how great the staff was? They were GREAT! We can't wait to come back to this location when we are in Miami!

We come here every year we go to Miami and have never once been disappointed with the quality of the food! All cuts of meat with the buffet option are very well-cooked, have a perfect texture, and are the perfect amount of hot as they're cut in front of you. Very tasty meat, and the "apetizer" options included with the buffet option are also incredible! I personally prefer the cheese balls (I don't know their actual name), but the mashed potatoes and plantains are also great. Salad bar options are also great, so much variety between forms of protein, carbs, and fruits/salad. However, the full price buffet has gotten a little more expensive over the years, and it just doesn't make sense to pay the full $66 per person, so we've been looking out for special deals like the $39 Best of Brazil that's out right now. Definitely worth it; you get the same amount of food but you just miss out on certain cuts of meat. Service was amazing though, the staff was extremely respectful, nice, and willing to assist us with any needs we had. Vibe is alright, a little out of the way from all the fun, busy areas, but that's not something I care about too much. Only issue I've ever had here was that we were once charged $45 for water, which was poured to us from a bottle, but this option wasn't presented to us like it would result in a charge. It wasn't sparkling water or anything, just still water which happened to be poured from a bottle, so I'd suggest that you specifically tell your waiter you just want tap water to avoid a charge like this in the future. Overall though, amazing restaurant and we will definitely be back next time! Make sure you come hungry, because you won't be able to walk after eating here! 9.7/10. Sigma out.

Definitely delicious food and well quality but the wait time for a reservation was very long. Had the shrimp dish which was delicious. Also loved the deserts and drinks. For appetizers had wontons which was delicious as well. Recommended but concerned with the wait

I've gone here a lot of times and really enjoyed and loved the place. I went again last night and I hadn't gone in a while and let's just say it went down completely. Not only were the people who were serving the meat rude and made me feel like burden but the service was horrible. Our waiter was trying to sell us an a la carte and once we said we were good we wanted the Fogo de chao churrasco experience he got upset and from there everything was just bleh. It took me ordering my lemonade five times to get it and the place wasn't even packed or busy it was genuinely a regular paced night. I wish I would've asked the girl for her name because if it wasn't for her I probably would've just walked out. She's the one who ended up setting everything straight and finally getting our drinks right and anything we needed at hand. That lady is probably getting paid wayyyy to little for how she handled that. Amazing work. The ambiance was also just bad it was just ugh.

It's birthday time again and their deal is great when you sign up to get their e-mails. I had the Full Churrasco experience for lunch about $15 - you cannot beat it. Their is such a good variety of salads, all fresh, along with charcuterie and cheeses. I did not even try the soups, did not want to use up space for the meats. And the meats were excellent; the servers do their best to give you the cuts you want. Though I had to wait a while for lamb chops - well worth the wait. I don't know what they put in the plantanos, caramelized perfectly. And the polenta was also perfect this time, crunchy on the outside, melting inside. There was also a grilled pineapple, don't miss it if offered. Service was impeccable and attentive. Don't forget to tip on the full price of the meal to recognize good service. Only fault - I did not ask for cake (I was celebrating my birthday) and left without cake. I'd even been careful to leave room for it!

Upon arrival, everything was perfect. It was a pleasant experience, and the server even recommended the Brazilian beer, which I ordered twice. I was enjoying myself, and the manager came by to check on me, it was going to be a wonderful night. Due to some inexplicable reason, I was assigned a new server who was rude, condescending and ended up ripping me off. Towards the end of my meal, I requested a dessert menu and ordered the flan. As soon as I placed the dessert menu on the table, he cleared the plates of beef I was working on without asking me! I was disappointed, but at least the dessert was on its way. Upon finishing my flan and receiving the bill, he made sure to let me know that tip was not included in the total. Because the meal cost only $88 and the cash on the table was $20, I was a little confused, so I asked him if the receipt was correct, he stated that I had 1 Brazilian Rodizio, 1 double screw driver cocktail, 1 flan, and (1) Brazilian beer with my meal. Immediately, I told him it was 2 beers, thinking he forgot to place 2 beers and was upset at forgetting, so I gave him $20 for the beer and I told him to keep the change when I left. I went to itemize my ticket when I got home still feeling uneasy about the replacement server's behavior and found the amount correct for the meal, cocktail, dessert, and 2 beers at $88 after all. I had been ripped off by $20. My advice is to ask for rude servers to be replaced. I thought it was going to be a wonderful experience but it became a foul aftertaste at the end of the night. DATE OF VISIT: 01/19/2022 TIME: 8PM TABLE: 1 guest at WINDOW (far back right near server podium)
