Brazilian Steakhouse

Top Tags:

At Chama Nativa we serve a Traditional Southern Brazilian Rodízio. Our Prix-Fixe Menu, includes two courses. It provides the opportunity to enjoy a variety of Prime Meats including beef, chicken, pork and lamb, which we season and carefully fire-roast to expose the natural flavors contained in the meats.

A meal begins with a trip to our gourmet salad bar, featuring an extensive selection of the freshest vegetables as well as a mix of some of the most flavorful composed salads and hot dishes. The main course, the highlight of the meal, will start when you flip your coaster-sized “chip” from the red side to the green side, signaling the meat cutters you are ready to be served.

Trance music was a bit too upbeat for dinner. It was like speed eating with the music. Maybe consider more chill music.

This was our second visit to Chama Nativa. We just did the luncheon salad bar which was outstanding. It includes several hot dishes like beef stroganoff, black beans and rice, poached salmon. We added an excellent coffee and dessert selection for our party of 6. The crème brûlée is my husband,s favorite. He says it is as good as the best in France. The key lime pie was their only miss - tres leche cake with lime peel and lime slices is not key lime pie. Still a lovely meal in an elegant white tablecloth setting with really excellent service. We could see heartier eaters enjoying the expanded meat menu.

Thank you for another amazing dinner. The service was outstanding even with 15 people and being super busy. The food was fresh and full of flavor. My family was celebrating 2 birthdays and the service couldn’t have more than perfect. Thanks again and can’t wait to come back!

Went here this past week and it’s our 5th time in a few months. The food is just as good as it always was and the service was great. Much better then the chain at Santana Row in terms of service and food. Maybe the ambiance is not as nice but the food and service is better. No hassle with parking and easy to get a table. I’m come here every time over the others.

I'm a big fan of Brazilian churrascarias and am a frequent flyer at Fogo de Chao and Espetus in San Francisco. We were very eager to try Chama here in Gilroy, and so we ended up here spontaneously one day, just as they opened for dinner at 4. (They also have lunch hours most days from 11-2). It was fantastic. The building is nice and the furnishings are comfortable. Cool music swings without being intrusive. The waiters are friendly and knowledgeable. The rest will seem familiar: there's the red/green coaster to indicate your readiness for more food, the waiters parade around with swords of various meats; there's an enormous buffet table with salads, roasted vegetables, cheeses and sliced gourmet lunch meats and an adjacent hot table with soups and stews. There's a great wine list and plates of plantains, polenta and those bite-sized mini-Yorkshire-pudding things. And it's all terrific, absolutely top-notch. I'd rank a notch above Espetus and a couple notches above Fogo. And it's right here in Gilroy, amid the shopping mecca of the Outlets! We really enjoyed it and will be back and back and back again. For a really special lunch or dinner out, Chama has my highest recommendation.

Chama Nativa is never a disappointment. We have visited many times and we bring our guests to this restaurant as a sure thing for Great Food, Ambiance and Great Service. Our server was Consuelo. She was so very attentive, and we never had to ask for anything. She made sure we had everything we needed and if there was a particular cut of meat, she had the carvers over to our table right away. The Picanha is the specialty cut, but not to be topped by the many other flavorful meat items. Definitely a return trip over and over again.

I took five friends with me and we all enjoyed ourselves. Two of us, myself included, had lived extensively in Brazil, and found the Brazilian sides, from pao de queijo (cheese bread) to the feijoada (Brazil's national dish) to be both authentic and quite good. The selection of meats brought to and carved at our table were varied and first-rate: top and bottom sirloin, rib eye, filet, chicken, and sausage. Our near vegan found the salad bar to his liking and swore us to secrecy that we would not tell his wife he was weak and had more than just a taste of the meats. No pork that I can remember, but their dinner selection is wider. We will be back.

Chama Nativa is the BEST Brazilian Steakhouse from the Bay Area! From the moment we walk in and we are welcome by the Hostess, and all the crew, all are very pleasant and always with a smile while talking to you, ready to address your requests. The selection of meat, salad bar, drinks and dessert are amazingly delicious!! Is my favorite place to celebrate a special occasion, or for a business dinner, or simply have an amazing Brazilian meal with Caipirinha!

The food was delicious and staff were friendly and accommodating once seated. We did have trouble getting seated though even though we had reservations. They could benefit from a more organized system for seating people because the front counter seemed chaotic.

We have been to many Brazilian steakhouses and we have to say this one was one of the nicer ones. What we liked the most was the service. Everyone was friendly and very attentive to our needs. The manager was very active. He was helping the staff in everything he could. I think he stopped by our table at least 3 times to check on us. The drinks were great and the meats amazing. The staff was on it. Everyone helping each other to make sure that the customer’s needs were met. We recommend this place. We will definitely return.

Amazing evening. This is one of the best Brazilian steak homes I’ve ever been to, The food was amazingly tender, and the variation was superb. Not to mention the service was outstanding. Before we left, we booked another evening in three weeks, but will probably get back sooner. Most definitely highly recommend this restaurant and the experience salmon; come, hungry, and spend some time.
