   Haven’t been here since 2018. They renovated the restaurant and it looks amazing. Food is great and servers were on top of their game. Love this spot.

   I’ve left reviews on Yelp. Definitely cheated for what I experienced. Wouldn’t go again.

   The place was just alright. When first seated they asked how we like our meat and we told them medium rare. All of the meat until the last ones (Sirlons) were very well done. There was no pink and it was dry and tough. Several of the meats, and the pineapple, on the menu were not available, but that was only found out when we specifically inquired. There was only 1 person serving the meats to the entire place. He was very friendly, however the woman that sat us and the others were very "meh". Not very friendly or attentive. We have gone to Copacabana Brazilian steak houses and thought this would be similar, it was not. Overall we would not recommend this place. Perhaps if it was priced cheaper, sure but it was 100 USD even with the groupon after tax and tip. Their prices without the groupon are about the same as Copacabana and the experience is lacking. The location is also in a not great part of the city and just after a very awkward turn. Our lyft drivers there and back both missed the turn on the first try.
   

   The Taste of BrazilResponded on March 14, 2023Hi Judy, we’re so sorry that your experience did not match your expectations. It’s important to us that our customers are more than satisfied this makes us all keener to ensure this gets resolved and doesn’t happen again. We would love to make things right if you give us another chance.

   Food was subpar, and service was not very good. If I am unable to understand you maybe you should try speaking a little slower.

   Full salad bar and hot side dishes are available to accompany carefully sliced meats brought right to your table. Ended the evening with dessert as well as grilled pineapple slices smothered with cinnamon and honey. Fresh tropical fruit juices were very nice, too. I would highly recommend if you wish to experience cuisine from Rio. Only thing I wished they offered- pão de queijo. Maybe next time…

   Bought dinner for 4 on Groupon. They request for you to reserve. First question when arrived if “we were Groupon” and before even allowing you to sit, they ask you for the voucher (like if made any difference to show it before or after) I found that rude; however, based on this is how they determine what kind of service they give you. The meet super salty and usually overcook. They missed items at the table, glasses, napkins etc. it took forever to bring these. You hd to ask several times. We needed to go to the counter ro order desserts, no menu or order taken for that. They forgot my dessert so i had it when everyone was done. And after the Groupon discount (that included full Rodizio, dessert a d drink) they still charged $170 on top. When we only ordered 1 child meal, 2desserts off the promo 1 drink and two coffees. Overpriced, bad service and although they don’t have liquor license, because they are in the process of getting one, you cannot bring your own. Never returning. For rodizio go to Casanova restaurant few blocks away 100% better.

    We enjoyed our visit and our service provider was very attentive. The buffet was excellent, but we felt the quality of the meat was not what we were hoping for.

    Don’t eat here - it cost $90 for two of us to eat here and the meat was so salty we could barely eat it. I can’t stress enough how I would never go back there again.

    It was extremely busy, but it was Mother’s Day. The staff was very nice and apologetic though so I do appreciate that. My first time at this location maybe I’ll try when not to busy. I like that’s it’s byob but I didn’t know until I arrived.

    5 star experience for sure! Some of the cuts I wasn't a fan of but everything else was incredible (especially the sirloin). The staff was attentive, and the head of house was was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend this place. Get the pineapple or passion fruit juice!

    Service was not that great, lacking training. The meat was taking way too long to get in the table, and it was not rendered or seasoned properly. The rest of the food was actually good. But for the first time I’ve been there for my birthday I don’t feel like going again.

    Poor ambience, some staff wore masks others didn't, awful decor, flourescent lights and highly overpriced , over cooked sub par Dominican style food. They should have played Brazilian music or something. Basically someone's first floor garage turned into a kitchen with tables. Attentive waitstaff. They snuck the 20% tip onto the bill so be careful not to tip. Will never go there again.

    We continuously kept getting passed by and serviced last. Every time someone came with meat or product they would skip us and go to the next table then come back to us. Did not get dessert that was apart of our meal. Much rather go to fogo or chimas.
