The Grill From Ipanema

Left much to be desired. I purchased the Rosizio Completo to sample everything. Worst: Most of the steak cuts- Consistent temperatures, but not as fresh, they had an off flavor. Best: The Chicken wrapped in bacon, Grilled Pineapple, and fried banana. Salad bar was just okay, but also saved the service with some needed fresh elements. Well decorated and loungy. The staff was accommodating, but not especially warm. As a venue for a non-food event it looks nice. Not a place I would return to or recommend for food however.

You want to eat at a Brazilian steakhouse, but you are not hungry enough or don't want to spend too much money. Here is your solution: sit in the bar area and eat off their Happy Hour menu! Two of us split the $35, six piece prime Rodizio meal. It included small portions of several kinds of meat, plus one side. This was more than enough to leave two of us completely full. We also had two capirinhas, one basil and one guava. Very good cocktails. Our server was great. There was a 20% automotic gratuity added to the bill, but the server's attentiveness warranted it anyway. Very pleasant, satisfying, and tasty dinner.

Sunset views were nice - meat was high quality and seasoned well- to perfectly, service personable and efficient, salad bar nice though could have a bit more green garnishment. Recommend for a nice evening with family or friends. Background Jazz music enjoyable

We had a wonderful experience celebrating my husband’s birthday - it was his first time at the restaurant, and it did not disappoint! The selection of meats was excellent, and we loved being able to customize our meal with the open salad bar. The fried plantains were such a delicious treat! We also really appreciated the special touch of having our picture taken - it was such a sweet memento of our date night to take home with us. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable evening

We ordered here and they served us Brazilian bread bites that were COMPLETELY raw on the inside. We ordered medium rare steak as well…this is what they sent. Will not be returning.

We ate here tonight for the first time with friends who had been before. It was a great experience. The service was on point! I’m surprised by reviews mentioning slow service...our table was laughing (and delighted) at how fast and frequently the servers with spits were coming around. We were a hungry group and could hardly keep up. Warm ambiance, good salad bar and drinks, amazing staff, definitely recommend!

Very nice concept. Around 15 types of meat (chicken, pork and shrimp as well). For my opinion they added to much garlic butter sauce on the meet. The pepper steak was the best.

NICE BRAZILIAN RESTAURANT AND BAR . GREAT DOWNTOWN LOCATION . GREAT FOR DATES OR GROUPS . FRIENDLY STAFF . FANTASTIC GRILLED OPTIONS AND SALAD BAR

The service was great at Ipanema! Our server Patrick was on point. So, you may ask why are two pescatarians dining at a restaurant that is known for its variety of meats provided rodízio style, will we wanted to have the experience. They also provide an all-you-can-eat salad bar. We were able to dine on grill shrimp, grilled pineapple, and the offerings from the salad bar. The shrimp and mushroom pasta dish at the salad bar was great! While there were a few diners the restaurant was not overflowing around 5 pm which was welcomed. So, while we didn't partake of the beef, chicken, and bacon offerings, the salad bar, the grilled shrimp and pineapple, and the shrimp-mushroom pasta did the trick for us.

We went as a party of eight to Grill from Ipanema to celebrate my husband's birthday, since most of us had been there previously and enjoyed it very much. The food was good as always, as were the drinks, and we were puzzled that the place was so empty on a Friday evening. Two hours later we were rather less surprised. The service -- bearing in mind that there were never more than 25 customers at five tables in the restaurant during the over two hours we were there, and we were eight of them -- was friendly enough but inexcusably slow. Twice we waited at least 15 minutes for a very simple drink order, and after we'd waited 10 minutes for dessert menus and then another 15 minutes for the server to return we gave up and decided to leave without dessert, at which point I went to pay and wound up having to get the server's attention from his phone. I've been a server, and I 100% understand being in the weeds when you get slammed with a lot of tables, but this absolutely was not that. If you have five tables, and you aren't even responsible for delivering food to your tables or bussing them, absolutely nobody should be wondering if they should be ordering two drinks at a time because they take so long to arrive. My review is basically an average: food = 4, ambiance = 3, service = 1. We'll miss the pineapple with cinnamon but we'll be going to Fogo de Chão from here on out.

If you have ever wondered "how can I go to dinner and try steak 8 different ways", here's your answer. If you asked me to pick a favorite I would have to go with the ribeye probably because I like a good deal of marbling. Don't sleep on the salad and side bar, you are going to need some starchy mashed potatoes to help counter balance all the proteins. If I had one pro tip it would be to make sure and get a cup of the chimichuri sauce, it is perfect on some of the leaner cuts of beef.

Second brazilian bbq I've been to, and I must say the flavors here are better! I did the happy hour 4 pc premium rodizio meal and wow was it a good amount of meat! The price as of August 2025 is $25 and the website doesn't show this item. The meal comes with 4 cheeseballs which are delicious and a salad on the side which helps balance out all the meats. As a petite girl, I was not able to finish all of it and happily took my leftovers home. It wasn't too crowded on a Tuesday night, and our server was friendly. I read reviews where it says the place is dirty, but I didn't think so when I came. It was pretty clean.

Sis, Mom, and I celebrated our birthday here. I had a $70 Groupon for $25 so why not. The place has a beautiful dining room with lots of light from the large windows. We had planned to pace ourselves, so we went light on our first (and only) pass of the salad bar and then we turned our card over to bring on the meats. Lesson for me- never waste stomach space on chicken, even if it's wrapped in bacon, because it's all about the steak. They serve 14 different meats that come out served on a spit so we'd hoped to make it through all 14, but I think we stopped at 12. Try as we might, we just couldnt eat everything. The food is clean and fresh and very good. Not the best brazilian barbecue I ever had, but we were very happy that we got to mark another lap around the sun in such a pretty place.

Delicious Brazilian steak house, show up hungry for multiple cuts. And there's a salad and sides bar with lots of options, too. If you're okay with a more bar ambiance, sit in the bar and get a very reasonable amazing (steak) meal. The service is excellent and the owner was there when I visited, lots of Seattle history to share.

Highly recommend scheduling dinner reservation in advance. AYCE Brazilian Rodízio includes 16 different selections and salad bar at $66 pp ages 12 & older; $30 pp ages 6-11; $5 pp ages 5 & under. Ambience appears and feels more upscale. Depending on where you're sitting, it's possible to catch a beautiful view of the lake. Help yourself to salad bar line. Clam Chowder with Bacon tasted like a cheese soup which I disliked. Potato Salad with Bacon and Pasta Salad tasted fresh and complemented variety of protein. Face green circle up at edge of table when you're ready to eat or face up red circle up when you want to stop. I've tried in the following order: Tri Tip Rib Eye Garlic Steak Pork Sausage Filet Mignon Pepper Steak Tri Tip w/ Cheese Garlic Cheese Bread Beef Rib Lamb My faves were garlic steak and Tri tip with cheese because both were very tender and bursting with flavors. Garlic cheese bread tasted crispy on the edges, buttery and cheesy in the center. Water with ice is complimentary. Beverages and desserts cost extra. Staff were very helpful, friendly, customer service oriented, and efficient. Staff offered dessert; however, our party of five politely declined because we were full.

If you are purchasing a Groupon read on before you sting at at the this place. First - yes you can purchase two Groupons per person -- but read in the fine print u can only use one for a table of two. So prepare full price of $69 you are doing buffet plus whatever u spend on the Groupon $25 and don't make mistake I did and buy two or ur money will be stuck in your Groupon account as Groupon bucks (unless u have two more friends ) cause u can only claim one 1 Groupon per party of two. Second prepare for terrible service (other than the lovely girl that comes by with the meets/etc) the waitress will be rude. She will sit you without saying anything and u will sit there confused not sure if are u supposed to start getting your food or what??? Waitress's wont visit your table much until u have to pay (and then u will be lucky to find out that your card was automatically charged 20% tip) which the service was for the most part 1star not what u was planning on tipping and wasn't planning on paying for the tip on my card so was upset to be charged an additional 20% on $140 dollar meal!! I did complain with the manager and he took it off my bill but overall left with a bad feeling over the situation. I will say that if it wasn't for the terrible service the food was delicious I really liked all of it. Would have liked to receive more shrimp but other than that yeah food wqs good: I won't return food was great but 1 star service for 70 a meal considering I do understand I got a discount for one of the meals was still around $80 excluding my Groupon for the two of us (no drinks just buffet). And I did complain to Groupon since this should be a disclaimer with the purchase. Update: my account still shows full 20% tip was charged ... I hope that 20% that I was told would be taken off is and it's just showing up slow from my end.

Went here on a weeknight and did the meat + salad bar combo. I visited Brazil last year and ever since then, I've had a big craving for churrasco! The Grill From Ipanema was pretty standard for a churrascaria -- meat and other dishes coming to your table that you can select, plus a salad bar. The meat itself was mid-tier. It was decent, but nothing mind-blowing. The standout dish that I was not expecting was the cinnamon pineapple. I've never had that before, but I loved it! Service was good as well, as our waitress was helpful and funny. However, the vibe of the restaurant wasn't it for me. Maybe it's because we went on a weeknight, but it was really empty and it felt a little awkward because of it. Plus, sometimes the music would cut out, and that added to the pressing silence. I'd be willing to try this place again, though, but I'd probably only go on a Friday or Saturday, or one of their live music nights.

Terrible service, average food, and a dark dining environment. Also, be cautious about the conditions of the Groupon coupon. Kit, who claimed to be the owner, was extremely disrespectful and insulted a customer over the phone. Check out their responses to lowest reviews, you'll understand this business doesn't respect customers. I purchased two coupons because the Groupon offer stated a minimum of two people. However, upon arrival, I was informed that only one coupon could be used for two people. We didn't complain and simply decided to save the second coupon for another visit. We ended up paying for both coupons ($30 each) and $130 for two people (including two drinks), averaging $95 per person. The meat options were limited, and the salad bar couldn't compare to other Brazilian BBQ restaurants in the region. The grilled pineapple was a highlight that other places didn't have. My Old Fashioned cocktail was served with grapefruit, which isn't a common ingredient and wasn't mentioned on the menu. I pointed out to the server that many people can't consume grapefruit, so it should be noted on the menu. It seemed that the employees didn't understand English well, so I didn't explain further. Paying was another frustrating experience. We were given the wrong checks multiple times. The servers were friendly but seemed unaware of how the Groupon coupons worked. They eventually took my Groupon order number from my email and said they'd figure it out. Later, I realized that the restaurant had redeemed both of my coupons when only one should have been used. I called to clarify and was transferred between three different people. The last person, Kit, who claimed to be the owner, didn't give me a chance to speak. He insisted that only one coupon could be used, which I already knew. When I pointed out that his employees seemed unfamiliar with the process during my visit, he accused me of insulting his staff, saying I called them "STUPID." I told him I never used that word, and I respect people and always leave tips. He dismissed my explanation and responded sarcastically until I asked for his name. At that point, he fell silent and then finally asked for my coupon number. I continued asking his name till he answered. If Kit is the owner, it's disappointing to see such unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. It makes me question how he treats his employees if he's willing to INSULT CUSTOMERS and MAKE FALSE ACCUSATIONS and handle customers so poorly. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do except report this to Groupon. I hope others read this and think twice before supporting such an unethical business.

I'm currently writing this review in a state of food coma. I really really went in today telling myself I'd stop when I was comfortably full. But they just kept constantly bringing new cuts of meat I couldn't help to try. There were a few tougher cuts but they also continuously brought out some really good cuts too. It really was nonstop. I really liked the garlic covered one, the beef rib, the chicken drumstick was surprisingly good, the cheese steak, and obviously the picanha. But there have been so many different types I can't keep count. I'd pass on the bacon wrapped one and the shrimp - they weren't great, and there were a few others I didn't try. My friend loooooved the grilled pineapple and they were so nice about bringing over more and more and giving her a LOT every time lol. In general service was great and the restaurant has such a great view over puget sound too. Also, for a discount, there's a Groupon you can use to effectively get half off (limited number of people though)! I think the full price is a bit too pricey for this.

This place is ok. I had a group of 4 with me. I believe it was like $70 per person and I paid for us for both the salad bar and meats. I recommend getting the Groupon for $35 off and you can get a Groupon for every 2 ppl. Otherwise, I don't think it's worth the full price. I'm a bargain foodie. Food was ok. They come around with different cuts and types of meats. They were friendly. I went on a Sunday. I wish they had more variety in the salad bar. There's some 2-4 soups you can choose from as well. It's all you can eat. I go like once a year.

Even tho on Valentine's Day , we were skipped by some skinny big back dude thinking he all that with his big ego and his girlfriend that looks like she gets beat up by him everyday and works at aurora almost had to beat his As* aka tag team with my boyfriend. The food was absolutely amazing ! I will definitely come here again not only for round 2 but for the delicious food :)

Wow! Great value! And they even played Girl from Ipanema. We've been wanting to try this place, so we stepped in on a Friday night right as they opened. I believe we were maybe the second people there. We Trent really interested in the salad bar although we would go back to try it sometime. They sat us at the bar. We grabbed the 4 pc rodizio, which is a big ol platter of meat for $15. Like WTF you can barely get a burger in Seattle for $15! My favorite was definitely the beef. There was an optional option to go through the salad bar for an additional $5 but I was too stuffed. Along with our plates we got a few caipirinhas ($7)!! Boozy, fruity, you can't go wrong. I imagine this spot would be really fun on a bustling night. Would definitely go again for the good deals and to explore more meats :)

I used to love going to Ipanema but I went last night and everything disappointed me. All of the steak cuts I received were either too fatty or almost completely raw. And our drinks didn't even come out until we were 3/4 done with our meal. The salad bar options didn't look as fresh as it used to. The Caesar salad was drenched in too much dressing and then sat there. This is not worth $66 a person at all.

We had a big reunion here. The place is fun, decorated meticulously, with great service. The staff was polite, attentive, constantly checked on us for drinks. If you don't already know, this is a Brazilian steak house. An endless stream of delicious cut of meat just came our way all night until everyone was completely satisfied. One of our guest was a native of Brazil and he gave this place a very high mark.

I wanted to try something different and found a place that was better than Fogo de Chao, in my opinion. This cute little place on 1st Avenue gives you the feel of a Brazilian steakhouse was lovely decor. The name itself is a play on words, but the food and service did not disappoint. Our server was super friendly and explained the process, even though we were quite familiar. I tried the Caipirango, which was the strawberry version of a Caipirinha. The drink was flavorful and very lovely. If you've ever been to Brazilian steakhouse, you know they have a salad bar with people bringing you endless different varieties of meat until you turn your card over. That didn't stop them at this place, and we didn't complain. We liked how the salad bar gave you plenty of options. They had different varieties of salads, pastas, meats, and cheese. What put this place above Fogo was the offering of pineapple and shrimp... in addition to the normal cuts of ribeye and filet mignon. The only meat we did not like was the house special. Overall, the experience left us full and satisfied. Will definitely go back when we return to Seattle.

Service was attentive and the food was delicious. I don't understand some of the reviews that said the food was raw...you tell them how you like the meat cooked. If it's too raw tell them you want a medium well or cooked more. You may get a piece of meat with some fat....that's ok...it's all you can eat. I like the ambience. Job well done guys

We had a wonderful time! We went here for my son's graduation & being a meatlover and regular of Brazilian restaurant.. one thing stood out- their cheese bread! I can't recall how many tines we ordered for more. Their meat is well seasoned, too bad not too many selections. Service is exceptional & ambiance is good.

So we went here for Christmas Eve dinner. Nothing special at the location. They do have live music which was fun to listen to. Meat was good. Gauchos were great and host was good too. Only weird thing is 20% gratuity is mandatory with a weird disclaimer at the bottom stating that they belong to the business but that they share with staff which was odd. Idk never seen it but it was good meat and good salad bar. They have a very different cheese bread. Banana were solid and nicely coated. Pine apple was superb. Picanha and Garlic steak were top. So was the lamb. Very good meats.

I think, in heaven, there will be angels walking by every few minutes with a succulent skewer of steak or parmesan pork or bacon-wrapped filet or lamb every few minutes, and you just lazily reach up and grab and incredibly delicious slice to feast on. And when you're feeling a little less carnivorous, there will be an ample buffet of delicious Mediterranean dishes. You can get a foretaste of this heaven at the Grill from Ipanema. I'm not sure there will be a guy playing pretty solid renditions of 90's tunes on his guitar in heaven, but you can have that too at Ipanema.

Fresh salad bar - yummy meats! So many meats!!! Drinks and service excellent! Will be back for sure

We went about an hour from close. The cuts came out quickly and the server was great, but some of the meat was a little more well done than I would have preferred and their cheese bread had a filling I wasn't expecting. I'm sure some folks would have loved it, but it wasn't my preferred rodizio experience.

This is going to sound so weird, but I would go here for everything but the meat, when I return. Recommendations: Brazilian cheese bread balls Orzo salad Good wine selection/drink menu From gaucho service: Garlic steak- the most delicious meat here. Brazilian pork sausage-close second Cinnamon pineapple - could sub for dessert omg Grilled drumstick - a little sweet and smoky Grilled Salmon - perfectly cooked Sirloin wrapped in bacon It's an absolutely beautiful atmosphere, and our server was cool, but with regards to the meat it's 2 big issues: 1) we kept getting served overcooked meat. Maybe 3 times they got it right and it was great. Most of my meat was well done. My favorite dish is Picanha, and it was so well done it barely had flavor. The sirloin wrapped in bacon was good but again, steak well done. 2) uninterested gauchos. 2 seemed nice, but there was one in particular, a bald gaucho, who really stood out. He skipped us more than once, then went all the way around the room then stood with his back to us. We tried to get his attention he turns and goes "I see you. We return to the kitchen to cook the meat and come back out.") I understand sometimes spaces are understaffed and as for chefs there's good nights and less good. Overall I enjoyed it, and perhaps our experience is unique. I still wanted to include a balanced review so you could be aware of the possibility

We went to a fairly early dinner and got seated right away. I'd say 6-8 couples eating at the same time. My wife only eats the salad bar and it was lacking. If you want to create a general type salad forget it. It was a single line salad bar. I actually took nothing. The meat was alright but not over the top. The cheese infused beef and bacon wrapped beef was really great. We were in the middle table and seemed to get the last choice. The choice where the cooked part is gone. Our server was great and attentive. Now the added gratuity of 20% even when deserved irks me. Tip in my opinion needs earned and we generally tip 20% or better. We reward great service and appreciate it. But let me decide!!! I'll be skipping this Brazil grill in the future. $135.00 for two of us and one meal was salad bar only with waters.

Updates review - another 5 star rating! I just gant get enough of this place!! So... it's been on repeat again, and always delivers. Cheese balls - yes please So many cuts of meat - yes please. Never ending selection of meat -yes! Shrimp and wonderful salad bar -yes! Best mashed potatoes -yes! Pricey but so worth it!

I generally try to support single location non-chain restaurants like this and virtually never give bad reviews. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this one at all. I give credit to the meat selection and taste. The steak staples such as ribeye and picanha were seasoned lightly, not too salty but still tasty. This includes non-beef choices such as garlic shrimp and grilled pineapple, as well as garlic bread that I assume was fresh baked. The gauchos generally were prompt as was the kitchen. Salad bar had hot soup (clam chowder in this case) and typical fare compared to similar churrascarias, but no smoked salmon. Their corn bread comes as balls the size of a large marble but otherwise tasted within expectations. Note they do not have polenta or grilled onions/jalapeños like other places do. At a per adult price of $66, on the high end of competitors, expectations are high. Physical ambiance was satisfactory but the music is loud. Parking is by paid lot or street, there is no dedicated lot. The service was terrible, probably in the top 5 worst experiences in my decades of eating. They were understaffed and we rarely saw our waitress, who apparently was the only one for the entire restaurant. We had to flag down the water refiller for requests, but he declined to help and kept referring me back to the waitress. When she did arrive at our table she was brusque and obviously not in good spirits. Despite this, I still tipped 20%. They add this mandatory gratuity to all checks regardless of party size and despite your actual service experience. When I asked for a manager, I was told he was not available. Don't bother with this place.

We had a wonderful meal. The staff was exceptional!!! we had an amazing experience. The ribeye was my favorite. The pineapple was delicious and I must try.

Food was great! Server was the only one for the whole restaurant but he was working so hard! We sat by the window and the view was beautiful. Very nice atmosphere!

This place is okay. Wanted to like it more, but there are some issues. We ended up here because the four other rodízio style restaurants (3 Brazilian and 1 Argentinean) in the region were busy, and we made a fairly late decision to go rodízio. So, they could accommodate us, and that was good. The place is bigger than it looks from the outside. It's a nice and comfortable space that is clean. The meat here is top-notch. It's as good as and in many cases better than the other four places. And that is why this review is three stars. Superb meat. So, why not five stars? First, the salad bar selection is small compared to the other spots. This is driven by the layout to some degree, but this restaurant had the same issue years ago when it was in its smaller space down near Pike Place. It could have designed to fix this issue when it moved, but it chose not to. So, this limited selections on the buffet line is intentional. Sad. Second, the service. The meat servers were all superb. Our waiter, not so much. Distracted. Bothered. Inaccurate. And did I mention bothered? Yeah. Not cool. Kind of ruined the whole evening. And the owner? Meh. My Brazilian daughter-in-law began speaking with him in Portuguese, and he cut her off and told her to speak English (he obviously spoke Portuguese, though his English accent suggested Russian heritage). Most of the meat and wait staff are Brazilians, so we spoke Portuguese and English to several of them, and they were all cherry and happy with it. The owner seemed very formal, stiff, and a bit grumpy. Overall, despite the EXCELLENT meats, we will probably wait and go to one of the other four restaurants next time the rodízio bug bites.

I never write reviews but the experience sucked so bad I feel inclined. It was our first time in and the systems of the buffet and Rodizio were a bit confusing. Our server rushed through her script and became visibly annoyed and rude when I asked clarifying questions on how it worked. Her response: "yeah, I just said that...". From there, they serve freezer food quality appetizers which are complimentary and a mild range of salad bar choice options. The actual Rodizio was okay. Some good meat cuts and liked the variety. However, the quality was inconsistent. $200 for overcooked and salty meat with a side of rude service and over the top music. Shameful...

This place was awesome ! Very similar to Fogo de chao. We got here closer to closing not realizing that but they still were able to get us lots of meat before closing. The salad bar was slim since it was closing time but still delicious

Upscale but cozy with excellent friendly servers! Meats come by quickly and the options rotate frequently, but beef cuts are a little on the small side. Salad bar is tasty but the options are limited. Every meat here is very well seasoned, and each cut tasted different yielding a new experience. However, the tenderness of each meat varied greatly, some cuts were juicy and tender but others were very tough and dry. My favorite meats here were the beef rib near the bone, the pork ribs, the lamb, the sausage, and the cheese steak. Both beef and pork ribs were especially tender and juicy, and they were, in my opinion, the best things here. My least favorite cuts were the turkey, the pepper steak, the outside of the beef rib, and the picanha. They were all very well seasoned but very tough (maybe I just got a bad cut). However, the meats come out quickly and I recommend that you try everything! Everything at the salad bar was delicious and the cold salads were light and refreshing. The feijoada was very meaty and had an amazing flavor but was a bit too soupy for me and there was no farofa. I really enjoyed the plantains but you have to ask for more because they're not at the salad bar. If you're getting dessert, the flan here is nice. Very silky, smooth, and not gelatinous. It has a deep toasty caramel flavor which was great but almost too sweet. I also enjoyed the caipirinha. It was sweet and you couldn't really taste the alcohol, so if you're like me and hate the taste of alcohol, I highly recommend it.

How have I not been here before? I'm a fan of the all-you-can-eat experience of Brazilian steak house restaurants. But this place takes it to another level with how well they season their meats. You have a coaster that you either leave on the green side to let the Gauchos know to keep coming by with their offering. The red side tells them you are done or need a break. The hot and searing meats came by at a decent pace and they shaved off small and tasty sized portions of meat to try. I appreciated that for many of the meats that I wasn't sure whether I'd enjoy or not. My favorite cut of meat was the garlic steak. Every bite had an amazing amount of garlic flavor accompanied by the wonderfully tender prime grade of beef. The cheese steak was injected with some type of delicious cheese that made the beef slice even more juicy. They also offered salmon, lamb, chorizo sausage, picania (sp?), ribeye, chicken, and many things wrapped in bacon. The staff was so friendly and nice. When my favorite garlic steak came by, I asked for extra slices and they so kindly accommodated me with that. One server even came back a second time, since she knew our entire table loved that specific cut of meat. I don't think I've been that full in a very long time. I literally had the "meat sweats" when I was finished. I'm so going to be back here again in the future. Thank you Grill from Ipanema!!

Was probably my 4th time here, but it's been a while. Was part of a party of 4. Restaurant had maybe 15-20 guests. Prevuous visits were pretty good, but seems it's been declining. Today was rock bottom and all I can do is laugh. Never been to a Brazilian steak house leaving still hungry for steak? There were 2 guys serving the entire restaurant. They seemed pretty new to the carving meat thing. They were literally slicing off a 2 inch paper thin slice and would ask if I wanted more. Yes, please. Then another shaky 2 inch shaving. Rinse and repeat. By the end of our patience, we probably had 4 ounces of steak in total. Had to fill up on the salad bar since we were so hungry salad bar choices have also been cut down noticeably. 20% automatic gratuity and pos machine asked if I wanted to give more tip. Total damage for 4 people, $350 for a few plates of salad, 4 ounce steaks of dried meat, and probably 4 glasses of water from the over saltiness. This place is on its last legs. Stay away and let it die in peice.

The Grill from Ipanema was not the best. It's unfortunate because the service is really nice, and they try their best with everything. The meat selection unfortunately tastes burnt and overtly smoky or like gas. In addition, with the food rotation, people who get seating at tables further away might not get to try as many meats. I liked their mashed potatoes and beets, but that was probably it from the salad bar. The salad bar mostly has some salami, a soup, rice, some premade salads, and cold vegetables.

It's been several years since I've visit this place but food is still pretty good. Took my brother here for his birthday last weekend and we had a good time. Salad bar had a great selection of things plus sides of rice and soup. The day we went they were also offering SRW for $50 but you get like 7 or 14 types of meat vs the 17? I kind of didnt' catch the exact number but that's a pretty great deal for the amount of food you're getting but we just did the rodízio. I really enjoyed the different cuts of meat. There were some that was a bit dry and overly salty but I guess that's why you should have it with a bit of rice or mash. I would not recommend the frijole soup though, it was soo salty the day we were there. I took 2 bites and could not finish the bowl. I'm hoping it was an off day for soup haha. I had a good time overall and I think my sibling and cousins did too. Service was really good, our server was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Veryyyy good steak is amazing the best selection of meats out of all the steakhouses and the grilled pineapple is to die for

Definitely the most expensive Rodizio I've ever had. Food was good as expected if you've been to a Brazilian steak house before. Drinks good Salad bar was fine A solid option if you're looking for a walk from the ferry, but there are equally good options for less if you're willing to drive

They snuck in a mandatory 20% gratuity. It's not listed on ther website and not posted anywhere. I disputed it and they said they will call me. I called several times and they hung up on me.

Delicious food. Great place to gather with friends and family. You're gonna want to bring a big appetite the portions are generous. Service is great and very attentive. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely don't recommend after getting food poisoning. We avoided the buffet area for obvious reasons but still got sick. First red flag was seeing the waiter pour water from a used decanter on a table of a party who just left to an empty tables decanter. Meat was really fatty or had a strange frozen taste. Very disappointing for paying $173.

We had a reservation tonight, Valentine's Day at 6:45. When we arrived there was a line of people who also had reservations. They overbooked and were not prepared for this evening. We ended up waiting in line but decided to leave after standing for over 30 minutes. What an awful experience on a day that was supposed to be special for my girlfriend and I. Shame on you!!!

Took 30 minutes to get seated and I had a reservation. Even after being seated the server took 10 minutes to eventually come to the table. Had to ask 3 different staff members to order a drink and took 30 minutes for each round. This place beats the Applebees in south center for worst place to get a steak in Seattle.Restaurants that are objectively this terrible are a rare breed.

Anytime I'm in Seattle this is my first choice for steak and a night out with friends and family. Definitely worth the money.

They can bring back the grilled/seared lines on pineapple without smothering cinnamon on them. Bring the real madoro/plantan with out a cinnamon covered banana. Do offer well done meat (not all of us like medium rare meat.) more importantly at the end of the meal don't double dip when it comes to a tip. Don't do it. Sad to say we will not be going into to dine here again. It used to be our favorite place. But after today not anymore. Was it under new management? Didn't see the regular waiter's there either just the one woman was still there.

Service - Was slow and we were ignored often, I think because the server was the only one on shift and he had (in the end) 10 tables. Food - Excellent, delicious and filling. We love the salad bar and the meats! All you can eat buffet and meats? Who wouldn't!

Food and service has gone downhill over the last few years. Every piece of meat we had last night was over cooked, even when we asked for more rare pieces. We both had stomach issues after eating here too. Some of the meats tasted good and the salad/cold bar was good, it wasn't all bad, but most of them were just far too tough or overcooked. Our service was very poor-- took forever to get any meat, cuts were all bad, and my partner did not get her wine for more than 20 minutes into the meal (the waiter had just forgotten it). They never asked if we were looking for any specific meats (they weren't even very busy), and it really felt like they only ever had the cheaper cuts readily available. They also auto-gratuity 20% here, even for parties of two, which I would not really mind, except they included the price of the drinks into what they took 20% of. That is not common practice anywhere, and just feels cheap and slimy. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anyone. The variety is not worth the lack of quality and the poor service. It used to be great, but like so many other places has inched its price up and quality down to the point of making it a bad experience.

I really liked this place! I enjoyed the experience. I feel like it's a less upscale version of fogo, but the vibe has its own charm. Since they frequently offer Groupon deals, I think this wins out. If I had to pay full price I'd just go to fogo since they have this awesome rice and meat + salmon in the salad bar. I would note the meat is basically lightly (or kinda heavily) salted. I love that with some rice though, there's not much variety in seasoning I feel. I'm not one that constantly eats extremely high end meats so for me, this was absolutely great and eat cut was juicy and tender. My sister's bf is big on good cuts of meat so I think I wouldn't take a meat expert but maybe for the average Joe this would do wonderfully haha All the servers here were so friendly!! They'd carve me specific meat cuts with a big smile all the time. I feel they came around frequently enough too. You have to wait a bit when requesting specific meats but overall no complaints. I'd come back! It's a fun experience. :)
