We had an amazing experience. Service was excellent and the food was delicious! They even remembered to celebrate my son's birthday when the dessert came out. We can't wait to go back again.
You come to a rodizio style steakhouse for the meat. So I should start by saying the meat was excellent. We went on Valentine's, and there was a lot of variety, excellent flavor, and brought quickly to the table.
Again, it was a busy night. However, I think they should take care of the customers with reservations instead of trying to take all the walk-ins. Due to their taking walk-ins, they had less to offer those of us who had later reservations. They were out of fried plantains. The mashed potatoes were instant and gross (this may be true always, not sure). There were no other sides besides the bread (their website has Brazilian side dishes such as: rice, beans, polenta, fried banana, mashed potatoes and our famous cheese bread). It would have made a huge difference to have something besides instant potatoes! The salad bar was average. It wasn't bad, but it does not compare to Fogo de Chao or Texas de Brazil, which are the gold standard for this rodizio of restaurant. No artichoke hearts, little cheese, no soups, basically lettuce and toppings. It was unattractive enough we only made one trip.
Other results of a busy night and not focusing on reservation customers was our table was stapled together with no tablecloth. There was no ambience to be had. The service was spotty (the food servers was the exception). We might try it again, but it might be worth slightly more for similar meat and better everything else
We booked reservations a week in advance for Valentines Day and showed up 15 minutes early. Upon arrival there was a line to the door and no hostess or anyone addressing the line. There was a family of 16 ahead of us and a few couples. A server seated the table of 16 and another 10 minutes passes by with no one addressing us. An older couple behind us went and complained and was seated before us and the couple in front of us. Again, waited another 10 minutes and someone behind us went and complained to a server. The manager comes up and seats a couple who came in 20 minutes after us, without addressing the whole line of people. Everyone who was there before this couple told the manager they came in way after them. He proceeded to tell everyone we were next amd ignore us and seat the couple. I would understand if it was simply busy... but reservations were required. They either over booked or sat people who didnt have reservations (because they were not checking reservations). Not only was the service non existant, but there were many people at their tables who did not look happy. People in line had no masks on and the salad bar was open, to which people would go up to with no mask on. They weren't even taking names or checking for reservations. We ended up leaving before being seated or even addressed... 40 minutes later. This was supposed to be my boyfriend's first experience at a Brazilian Steakhouse and we were really looking forward to it but this was our absolute worst experience at a restraunt ever.
Didn't take in to count how many reservations there were, manager sat people out or order didn't know what he was doing. Their server Ari was their saving grace very personable very quick.
Staff is always friendly and we always have a great time. This time the waiting time to be seated even with a reservation was a bit longer then other times but we enjoyed our dinner very much.
Decent meal. Food was outstanding. But service was disorganized and slow. Sides not replenished. Wine order took a lot of effort to even get in. Setting ok. All in all an ok experience.
Food is always excellant. Service is fast and friendly.
Valentines dinner. Our table service was horrible as our waiter never came and checked on us. However, I saw other waiters who attended to their tables in timely manner. Meats were overcooked and dry. Bill was incorrect by approximately $100 with another tables alcohol being listed on our bill. We do not drink alcohol. Food was average for price paid. Do not think we will come back.
My husband and I went to eat there for Valentines Day, and overall everything was good. They even gave us complimentary dinner for Valentines Day so it was nice!
Good food, good service, They have a Military discount, but not on holidays, but they gave me a gift card for a free meal the next time we go. That was very nice of them.
Jair and his team went above and beyond, as usual, to accommodate us! Even though they were extremely busy for Valentine’s Day, they didn’t miss a beat! We are happy to see them and experience the great food and service!
Although our reservation was for lunch on Valentines Day, we were also there to celebrate my 60th birthday. Just as with our previous experiences dining at Estampa Gaucha, the food was amazing and the service was first rate. The wait staff was a little slim in numbers, however, they more than made up for it with their punctuality and pleasant demeanor. Two thumbs up!!
Great place amazing food and incredible attentiveness of waiters
Not very authentic. Few buffet options. Weird layout and awkward space. No music and made the dining experience not desirable. Wouldn’t return or recommend to anyone.
Great dinner and lots of fun. Really enjoyed the evening.
This was our first trip so we didn't know what to expect. Our waiter was a little difficult to understand but fortunately, there were a number of people available to answer our questions. All of the staff were friendly and very competent. The food - well, I have never tasted such tender and delicious meat in all my life. The flavors were fantastic and the filet was like eating butter. It just melted in your mouth. It is expensive, but from my point of view, it is well worth every penny. If you are a meat lover, don't fill up on salad.
We had a great brunch with endless mimosas, many selections of meats served table side, and amazing service! Good value for kids, 1/2 price.
A most wonderful evening. Excellent food and service! We'll definitely be back and bring friends.
We were a little disappointed with how crowded and close the tables were to each other. Also our waiter didn't make sure we received our bread or drinks in a timely manor. The food was still excellent .
We went for brunch on a Sunday. The staff was friendly. The food was very good. We recommend them.
First time my son and his girlfriend at this restaurant. They thoroughly enjoyed their lunch. Great food and service. Will go again when we are in the area.

We had a lovely Christmas Dinner at Estampa. This was my first time dining in the Brazilian BBQ style. The service was fast and the food was good. We had a nice bottle of wine to match.
Very good food for the prices, Service was excellent
OUTSTANDING! As always! Traditional Christmas Eve meal with the family.
Outstanding service and excellent food!! My favorite restaurant in Melbourne/Palm Bay.
Great experience as always! We love the whole team from Jair at the helm, to Marlin and the rest of the servers to the gauchos! Great staff and great food!
Dinner is always fantastic. Waiters are so knowledgeable and helpful. Manager is on top of everything. Can not wait to go back.
Best meal for the price in town. Highly recommended
Probably the best service we ever had. The staff treated us like royalty and never missed a beat. Food and drinks were amazingly good. Definitely going back.
First time in 30yrs. we went out to eat for Thanksgiving and Estampa Gaucha was the ONLY place that had something for everyone. See you guys real soon.
A++ service! Waiters will go and get the meat the way you like upon request! Authentic brazilian steakhouse meaning unlimited premium cut meat that will came at you until you can eat no more!
Finally I had the meat the way it is supposed to be done! Congratations! We had a great time. Also the servers are very nice and professionals.
Service was amazing! Everyone was so accommodating and friendly. Salad bar was great but meat was the star and it really shined.
As always... This place is the best. It is my go to for good food and to not be in a rush. You will not regret making the decision to dine at Estampa Gaucha.
We always love Estampa Gaucha! From the staff and the owner, to the food, we love all of them!
