During our road trip along the 395, my husband and I wanted to have one fancy dinner. We've never experienced a Brazilian steakhouse before, so when we found out that Mammoth had one, we were elated.
I made a reservation for us through Yelp for our dinner. We saw that the prices for the AYCE were only $60 per person, which was pretty good considering the restaurant is in Mammoth.
Our reservation was for a Wednesday evening, which was great as we wanted to have a quiet meal to ourselves. When we arrived, we were only one of two other parties. (It did pick up as we were on the way out, but I'm glad I chose an earlier reservation for our first Brazilian steakhouse experience).
Harmony offers a ton of signature cocktails and wines, but we were feeling like having beers, so we ordered that instead. When we visit Mammoth again, however, I'd like to try the cocktails next time. Our beers were bold and paired very nicely with the meats.
On to the meats and salad bar. The AYCE comes with the unlimited salad bar, and there were plenty of side salads to choose from. I tried a little bit of everything and it was all refreshing and helped with cutting the intensity of the meats. I did not try the mashed potatoes as I did not want to fill up on those, but they looked good.
We were enamored with all the meats that Harmony served us that evening. I can't count how many rounds we did, but we for sure got our money's worth. The seasoning was on point, the meats had a nice crust, and damn were they juicy and tender. The picanha was sublime! Our meats were carved at the table as is customary for a Brazilian steakhouse experience, and our carver was so attentive and always asked how everything was and if we wanted another round (even if we had the indicator red side up). Even the chicken that we tried was delicious--juicy on the inside with a crispy outer skin. I absolutely loved the spicy sausage as well. I honestly cannot choose my favorite meats but if I had to, one of them would definitely be the picanha and another the sirloin. In the middle of service, our carver came around with some grilled pineapple, which paired splendidly with all the meats. We of course asked for more rounds of pineapple.
For our first experience dining at a Brazilian steakhouse, Harmony was amazing and I'm so glad I chose to dine here during our time in Mammoth. I would highly highly recommend Harmony Brazilian Steakhouse & Bar if you are looking for a fine dining experience during your vacation in the Eastern Sierras. We are looking forward to going again the next time we visit Mammoth Lakes.
