- TTamishaSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review4.0Dined on Feb 15, 2025It was nice. Small table. I felt the selections were less than other places I’ve been. The salad bar wasn’t much that I wanted and the hot food station options were not desired either, white rice, tilapia and a couple other side dishes I wasn’t interested in. The meat that was served was excellent - every piece was mouth watering…. their signature drinks were also amazing. I definitely got my fill and for the price you should. It was nice but there are other places closer to home I’ll go to for a little cheaper with more options I like. It was Valentine’s Day and my honey is a Taurus so I thought it would be cute to dine there.More infoTaurinus Brazilian SteakhousePrice: Expensive• Brazilian Steakhouse• San Jose•4.4
