   I initially went because they advertised a Brazilian steakhouse dining menu but when I got there they had completely gotten rid of that portion of the restaurant only offering Mexican cuisine. I went specifically for the Brazilian steakhouse and when my wife and I showed up it was a let down.

   Absolutely loved the food and service. It was amazing. The only 'weird' part of the experience was the 'common' area bathrooms that had LOTS of traffic from the adjoining restaurants - which seemed to result in a lot of unmasked folks using the restrooms. But we were safe and enjoyed our meal. We will return!

   To be honest, Sizzler puts there salad bar to shame. The meats were ok at best. Extremely overpriced and will never dine here again. What a waste of time and money.

   Don't waste your time or money. Salad bar was awful. Sides were un-edible. Our table was skipped every time by the person bringing around the meats. The floors were sticky. Terrible selection of nonalcoholic drinks.We didn't even bother to finish out meal.

   Service is slow. Prices are way too high for the amount of food. Ambiance is awful and outdated. I would not recommend this place. The worst experience of the year! 3 of us with limited food options and amount, cost us about 250. Outrageous.

    Was expecting a more formal upscale environment for the price. Very casual and loud. We were over dressed. My money would of been better spent at Ruth Chris or Mortons.

    Food was poor quality for sure. Service took a long time even though there was only a handful of tables. Flies all over the salad bar area. For the price it was definitely not a good experience.

    Was very disappointed. Left feeling that I was oversold on an experience that even in the best of times would not happen. The restaurant's online menu is not accurate. Diners are only offered the full Monty and cannot select from smaller a la minute options. Meat was ok but for the price, I could get better quality at Safeway and cook it myself. The staff was overwhelmed and seemed distracted. There was a major issue with our bill (they gave us someone else's check). We couldn't get drinks ordered unless we went to the bar. There were long periods between meat service and the side bar was barely restocked with goodies. It was dirty and dark. It literally felt like a business in transition. The staff was very friendly and if this place survives Covid, I might try them again but at this point in time, I cannot recommend the restaurant. They have some work to do to get it right.

    This place is not great at all. Spent $600 on a birthday meal my mom. Not fancy, did not get the meat service we were looking for and the cold bar is tiny with very little variety. Come to find out during the AM it’s a Mexican restaurant, dinner it’s Brazilian steakhouse and nightclub after hours. $600 later.

    Met some friends here. The food was good, but they didn’t come around as often as we wanted and the portions they gave were small. Drink service also took a little longer than it should have. Nice overall, but not stellar. Maybe taking a little longer to build back from Covid....

    Unfortunately my family and I did not have the best experience here. Comparing this to other Brazilian Steakhouses (at lower costs at that) this restaurant had extremely poor customer service. The meat was served very very slow - literally twenty min servings apart. If you ask for well done be prepared to wait at least 45 min to see any kind of meat. The later the night gets the slower the service gets. My husband had one piece of meat he liked that he asked and waited 30 min for. Meat is also over seasoned. We arrived at 7:45 it is now 9:54 and none of the men in my family left full. That's should tell you something. Only good part of this restaurant was the sides. Also the bathrooms are very poorly cleaned especially during covid times, there were also gnats flying around our food. Annnd on top of it all, I asked for A1 and was served some cheap sweet steak sauce that reminded me of the old Sizzlers steak sauce. So if you love A1 better bring your own. I prefer Flame & Fire in Roseville WAAAAAY BETTER . I never post a bad review ever this is literally my first. My first Mother's Day dinner did not go as expected lol. Not worth an hour an ten min drive.

    Went in early, only the second table there. Took some time for the skewers to start coming out of the kitchen. All the meats were delicious. Ambiance a little lacking-front half is a bar that you walk through. Bathroom shared by three businesses

    I am from Brazil and have been in many Brazilian’s steakhouse in America as well Churrascaria in Brazil. I enjoyed very much Brazilian’s meat and it variety. My experience at O Ponto in regards the meat did not meet the level of my expectation. Many slices of meat were uncooked and one of my favorite cut of meat “picanha” came only once on our table and the meat was completely raw. We waisted a nice piece of meat due to not being cooked properly. For the price of $59 per person, the quality of meat were poor.

    Unfortunately, while I selected this restaurant to celebrate my sons 21st birthday ... we got moved from our table to the front and the bartender as responsible for our table and all the tables in the front of the house. I celebrated my son, but due to the amount of work, no real special celebration or dessert there... Perhaps they need more service folks at the dinner shift and to pay attention to their guests when they specifically pick Your Restaurant to celebrate a milestone celebration
