    We asked for medium well and the food went from medium to extremely well done. There was no balance in between the food prep. It may have been better on the weekend but we were not impressed with the food. The food had very little flavor as well.

    Salad bar was good. Service was ok. Most Brazilian steakhouses bring you clean plates. This one doesn't. Some of my favorites plantain and cheese and honey aren't served here. Wine list is smaller and some of the meats didn't have a lot of flavor. Prices have went up.

    We had a great experience overall. However, we had to wait for the ‘meat’ for over 20 minutes and did not get many items: lamb, pineapple, filet. The tables surrounding us received much better service. Our waitress and hostess were very friendly and accommodating.

    I had a party of 7 and received a secluded area just for my family, I did not expect that! We felt like royalty that evening, the food was amazing, the staff was outstanding, and the atmosphere was superb! Not one complaint. The Brazilian restaurant idea is so enjoyable! Last but not least, the buffet table was beautiful, and the meats brought to our table taste so good we will definitely return!

    Food was ok, Gauchoes routinely skipped out table and focused on middle racetrack of store. Brisket was a perfectly done pot roast. The best item we were able to get was the garlic steak. Only Brazillian steakhouse I have visited that didn't bring bread bites to your table, they placed a small baskett at the buffet that guests had to find for. Server was wonderful.
