   This was our first time back in a while. We were really impressed with changes made and the food was amazing. Great service and we will definitely be back.

   Staff were all very nice, but they basically encourage you to order apps and ignore you for the first hour you're there. Then in the last half hour, they come around to give you the meats, obviously hoping you're already full on the all you can eat appetizers. Not worth like $120 each.

   This location has has its ups and downs and I know they have had at least 1 management change in the last decade or so. I'm happy to report that the service has greatly improved since the last time I was there, where I had to ask the waitress for napkins 3 times, only for me to have to walk over to the counter and get them myself. But prior to that, Copa Cabana Vaughan had always been soild. I'm very grateful that they brought back the birthday gift, especially since the price is $20.00 more than it used to be, before the pandemic. Food variety was okay, Copa has always been beef heavy in comparison to places like Brasa or Touro, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. They were a little heavy on the salt this time, in my party of 11 there were people who have a very high salt tolerance, who found some of the cuts too salty, albeit, the Brazilian seasoning tends to be on the salty side, but this was a bit too heavy. The spicy (Moroccan) Chicken has been absent for a number of years which they definitely need to consider bringing back, because it was that good; they're new chicken offerings are good, but they can't compare. (Peri-Peri and Lime). There was also no Beazilian Sausage, which I missed since it is one of my favourite offerings. Other than these minor nitpicks, it was a wonderful experience which aligns more with my earlier experiences at this location and helps forget about the more recent negative one.

   The meat as always is delicious but the sides need some additional seasoning. The service wasn’t the best this time around for the meat. We dined in February and it was amazing but it wasn’t great this time. The server was great. It’s a great restaurant but the serving of the meat is non consistent at each visit. I understand it was busy but that shouldn’t matter since the dining here isn’t cheap.

   The food and service are great but the ambience is nothing more than average. It’s a loud, bright and too open.. Tables are to close and you could actually hear the conversation next door. Price point is good and worth the money.

   I found the music to be too loud for the 8 of us sitting at one long table to be able to talk to each other. The central air should have been turned up a bit when the place got crowded because it was very stuffy in there sitting at the very back.

   I really enjoyed the food and the environment!! The grill guy was really nice, came out a couple times to ask what else we needed from the grill, how was the taste, that’s a nice touch!

   Numerous requests for sirloin cut however never came and kept being delivered to the table in front of us. Took long in between the variations of bbq to come to us vs Brisas @ Niagara, Touros @Vaughan and Copacabana @Yonge/Eglinton The restaurant was very hot this didn’t bother as much as the poor service. Maybe this was the time of the day as we felt upon leaving there were more servers entering and serving guests. One server named started with letter A- was very attentive. Rosa was also very attentive but quality and turnaround for the service was lousy and could do better in comparison to other similar services and restaurants. We all agree we will not return unless quality and service changes.
