"Our first Brazilian steakhouse experience and it was wonderful! The waitstaff was terrific. That gauchos were incredibly attentive with their varying cuts of meat. The salad bar was also tasty!"

"went several in the past and it was good all times.The Sunday 03/02/14 I went early at 4 pm, the meat was old with ugly color and odor Spend a lot of money and received poor quality of food. Not going back."

"I have been going to Chima since it opened. I was there this week and plan to go back again soon. I always take out of town guests there because it is so different and interesting."

"Having dined at Chima many times before, my party of six was very disappointed to find that when the restaurant was full, there were too few servers to provide a continuous flow of the grilled items that serve as the main dishes. Time after time at our table was passed by even though the "orange discs" were displayed requesting service. It seems that the restaurant was pushing top sirloin (a cheaper cut of meat), and servers with filet mignon, strip steak, flank steak and lamb items were few and far between. The wait staff also seemed new, and our waiter was perplexed when we ask for an additional saltshaker. On a positive note, a new wine steward was present who was totally knowledgeable and very helpful in selecting the right wine."

"The restaurant had a dim and very romantic feel, it is very clean, pleasant and classy. The meats were very tasty, my favorite was the parmesan pork, the salad bar was very fresh. The appetizers were also a great addition to the meal. The waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the wines. A must visit place!"

"the dining experience was great, i myself am not a big eater, so i would recommend this to people who like meat and in quantities. i loved the selection at the salad bar, I wouldve loved just to dine on the salad bar which I know you can do but for full price also, i am more of a veggie and fish person."

"My husband and I went with family and friends for our last dinner in Fort Lauderdale, we'd never been to a Brazilian restaurant so we were new to their interesting way of serving food! It had a modern, clean, European feel. We sat in the bar and I met Larry, the on staff wine guy, also known as a sommelier. He chose 3 amazing reds, all different and perfectly paired to our meal, not an easy task seeing that we were eating all kinds of different meats and vegetables!! He did a fantastic job,was entertaining and very knowledgeable. He graciously stayed within our budget but made it fun! What a fabulous experience, we can't wait to go back and thank Larry and also the excellent wait staff for making us feel very welcome and well cared for!"

"I eat out a lot in high end steakhouses and the new sommelier here was so aggressive my guests commented on it. The other comment was wait staff never gave us a chance to sit and talk, right there ready get us moving on the salad bar. It was like they wanted to move the people along to seat the next guest. Food was still great and typical Brazilian steakhouse with lots of action and movement around you constantly. I will go back but selective of my guests."

"I was looking for the best restaurant for a business dinner and definitively this one was the best choice! Also i made the reservation on line. Everything was outstanding. We went outdoor tables for dessert!"
Dined on 2/18/2014
"While the food is good and abundant, the service in this restaurant was horrible. First, arriving with a 7pm Open Table reservation at exactly 7, we were told to wait for a table to be cleaned and given an electronic device. Twenty minutes later and approaching 7:30 I went to the front desk to inquire about our "reservation" and a coupld of guys walked in, told her they did not have a reservation, and they seated them. We were also a party of 2!!!! Outrageous. I told them to seat us immediately which they did and told them to shove the device. Once seated, it took some time to get the attention of the servers with the meat platters. The place has gone downhill - also too many without proper attire and too many kids."

"This was my 1st time at Chima, so I didn't know what to expect. The food was amazing...you must come with an appetite! My boyfriend was WOW'ed by the meat selections! Some of the best cuts I've ever taste! Complimentary mini apps of cheese bread balls and croquets were delicious! That salad bar is wonderful....but save room for they meat selections because there's a lot! We had a strawberry caparihnia (my sure i spelled that wrong) which is like the Brasilian version of a mojito. Our waiter was a little busy due to the holiday crowd, but overall was attentive when we needed him and very nice ! This is the perfect restaurant for any special occassion. A little pricey, but well worth it. I will definitely come back!"
Dined on 2/13/2014
"pace yourself! They have a wonderful salad bar along with a great variety of meats. Only problem I had was the table was too small and close to the neighbors, NOT a place for a romantic night. Better for a fun night out where you don't mind a loud place. Seemed that the waitress was overwhelmed, I asked for salmon and never got it. Other than those, the experience was amazing and would most definitely go back. Staff was very friendly and welcoming and meet was delicious."
Dined on 2/16/2014
"Chima was outstanding but we made the mistake of not taking our time and before we knew it we were too stuffed to eat another morsel! You are in control of when you eat and what you eat so TAKE YOUR TIME.....we finished in just under an hour and at those prices, that was one pricey hour! The meats were amazing and delicious! Salad bar was great and had such a wide selection of choices!!"

"My husband and I completely loved our experience at chimas. Food was out of this world, wine menu was good, service was awesome! One wish, that the tables were a bit bigger!"

"Went there for valentine's and was meet with a over priced menu. usual price for the dinner is 54.00 per person but was over priced as a valentines package for 85.00 (glass of wine and a brownie for desert), which was not worth it !!! Don't get me wrong the place is a nice place, staff is good and food is good, just that their variety of meets are limited. I would recommend Texas de Brazil. I hate restaurants that over price there food because its a special occasion."

"Excellent steak, phenomenal service...every time I go here."
Dined on 2/15/2014
"We made a reservation for 9:30pm, but walked in around 9am and was seated right away. The food was amazing, much better in flavor than Texas de Brazil, and the service was by far the best I ever had. The price was way more than I expected, since they had a package for Valentine's day, and although I made a reservation, I was not told I would have no option but to have the package. But I don't regret it, since it was overall amazing."

"This was our first time at a Brazilian Steakhouse. The food was very good and the staff was great. Was a lot of fun."
Dined on 2/15/2014
"Chima has been my favorite Brazilian Steakhouse ofr several years, it is still a good place to go and I like it. I do find the level of food and service has been going down a bit. During this last visit (Feb 15) I had to ask the server to please have the meat servers stop by our table. Also it was not until the end of the dinner that they showed up with the fish selection. By that time my wife was done and she was very disappointed. It is getting to a point where the price we are paying is not matching what we are getting."
Dined on 2/15/2014
"Eating at Chima Steakhouse is a wonderfully special event. (At $100 per couple, this should come as no surprise.) However, the service is decidedly spotty. Servers are not assigned to individual tables. As a result, forget about having your water glass filled or getting a dirty plate removed without a lot of hand waving and dirty looks."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"What a wonderful evening for Valentines Day with my wife. From the moment we were seated until we walked out the door. Our table, the food and attentive service were outstanding. A special place for a special day. A sure bet as always."

"Heard this restaurant was great…it did not disappoint! The salad bar was filled with wonderful delights, just make sure you don't overeat there. The delicious meats were fun to help deliver to my plate. An all around super experience."
Dined on 2/13/2014
"I was really disappointed when I came here. To me, the steaks were mediocre. Nothing great. I expected the bacon wrapped filet mig non to be outstanding, but sadly it wasn't . The salad bar is pretty good, with lots of fresh salad. Their cheese bread in the appetizers is really good. I liked the little appetizer dishes they bring you the most. I also had a 20$ off coupon, and I gave it to the guy and I forgot to check for it on my bill. When I calculate it in my head, he definitely didn't give me my 20$ off. Really disappointed. Won't come back."

"We love going to Chima. Every time we come we like to bring a double date that has never been to Chima. We love introducing them to the excellent experience. My boyfriend and I live in West Palm Beach and we will always find some reason to take the drive south to Chima. If you haven't been, you are missing out."

"Chima Steakhouse is my absolute favorite restaurant. I have dined here on a few occasions and never leave disappointed. Meat was perfectly seasoned, salad bar was fresh and delicious, and the service was outstanding. One particular difference that I noticed is an extremely knowledgeable and friendly wine expert that came by our table. We expressed our interest in a bottle of Merlot or Cabernet and he recommended an amazing alternative that we never would have thought to order. He really knew his stuff and it was a really nice touch to the whole experience of Chima. Top notch service from Diego! He was very attentive to our table and made sure to make my friend's birthday very special. Can't wait to go back!"

"Went on a recommendation from a friend from Brazil. The recommendation was spot on! Excellent food and service, plus one of the few places to get a real Caipirinha in the US."

"Nice atmosphere, food served in the Brazilian style, with skewers of meat carved and served at your table. Included is a very complete salad bar. Overall a very pleasant experience."

"This year for my boyfriend's birthday I had such a hard time choosing a different restaurant but then I was referred to Chima. I must say that it was the best decision I made ! From the environment, to the service and more importantly the food- was phenomenal. My waiter suggested excellent wine choices to fit the occasion and we definitely enjoyed our night. We will be back within the next month month for sure .."
