First time I have ever eaten at a Brazilian Steak House. I did not try the salad as the main course looked way to good. Sampled all of the meats and loved the beef rib the best. Then had the molten lava cake for desert. It was as incredible as the main course. I would recommend this to anyone. Bring a huge appetite you will need it.

I wouldn't even make my worst enemy go here. We went because we love Texas de Brazil but thought we would try something new, BIG mistake. We waited 45 minutes after our reservation, in the dirty bar mind you, we finally sat and the server flew thru her spheal about how it worked and then hurried me to choose a drink. I didn’t get a drink in the bar because I was so excited to see the wine list only to find out that I could only get six or maybe seven wines my the glass even thought they had 5 pages of by the bottle. My boyfriend doesn’t like to drink wine so I had to settle for one of the seven. I could have spent the 45 minutes in the dirty bar with just a glass of RED at that point. The ranch at the salad bar was Kraft Light out of a bottle and tasted like it, the veggies were soggy, and there was no selection to make things not seem so bad. Out of the 15 meats they serve we saw the same four all night long because the other waiters never came to our table. The tables around us got rice and black beans and we never saw them, that being said it took over ten minutes for us to get the mashed potatoes. Our server came to the table once to ask how we were doing and then didn’t even stand there long enough to hear the answer. When the manager finally made it over we told him how unhappy we were and he said thank you, smiled and walked off!!! Thank You for being unhappy!!! The food was sad, the salad bar was embarrassing, and the staff was beyond non-attentive. I would have rather been held up at gun point and handed out my 100 dollars. We will never return and tell everyone we know to not waste there time!

My husband and I went here for our anniversary and it was fantastic! It was clean, the service was impecable and the food was amazing. The salad bar had many selections to choose from and everything was fresh and tasty. The cheese bread was to die for, as were the grilled meats - all you can eat! The waiters took great care of us and we were even treated to a complimentary dessert at the end of our meal. We chose the creme brulee - and they wrote "Happy Anniversary" on the plate with raspberry sauce. The creme brulee was the best I've ever had. I think we'll make this a tradition to come here for special occasions. It's a little pricey, but in my opinion it was well worth it.

We really enjoyed this Brazilian Steakhouse. A great value for the price fixed amount. The service was top notch - very knowledgeable staff, wonderful quality food from the salad bar to the fine selection of meats to the scrumptious desserts. We'll definitely head back and maybe bring a large group.

My experience at this white table cloth restaurant exceeded my expectations. The sophisticated salad bar was a great lead in to the main meal. In fact the salad bar could have been a meal into itself. The beef that was served was some of the best I have had in town, and you are not restricted to one cut, more more like six or seven, and that does not include the chicken and lamb cuts. I was able to taste them all and then focus on the ones I liked best, always warm and cooked to my preference. Great atmosphere to go out with friends, but also could be a great place for business dinners. Lots of energy in the restaurant. Check it out Denver.

    Eh. I don’t feel strongly about it either way. I don’t hate it or love it, I wouldn’t recommend it or dismiss it, it just is.
