There appears to be some changes with the new management. We enjoyed the food but a little disappointed with the variety. The food that we did have was delicious!

This was our second time here. The meat is ok but the salad and hot bar is so underwhelming. Nothing special about it. Salad dressings are store bought and not the good kind either. The service was good but they had Fox News on which is a turn off for me. I'll NOT be going back there again.

The food was good and the service was okay. My server could have been a bit more attentive and courteous. They also don't offer a wide selection of rodizio-style meat options.

The owner is very impressive gentlemen, I've never genuinely felt welcome in an establishment. Accepting ownership of reasonable scheduling issues. Making me and my guest feel welcomed and appreciated Food was great. I'd say would be a better experience if server could recommend good food pairing with wines on menu, for an even better experience. I will recommend and be returning!

Our second time here, last time was before the change in owner. The meat is always abundant and delicious. There’s an extensive salad and hot bar of offerings. This time they were a bit understaffed. And we were disappointed to find they only had one kind of dessert available. Overall a wonderful way to gorge ourselves on meat at a quite reasonable price.
