   Expect great food, but you will pay, but won't go hungry.

   I was very disappointed. The salad bar alone was over $30 and though large, the food was very bland. Adding the meat made it over $50 but there was no explanation of the prices or that the meat was all you can eat. We were kept in the dark about the process and pricing until I called afterwards to inquire. I was told the above and the explanation was that this is not well known in rochester as it is a Brazilian style. So I wonder if it’s not well known, why not explain the system? I would not come here again.

   Fantastic service as always, extremely salty meat. The flank steak in particular was so salty I didn't want to finish my piece. As someone who occasionally adds salt to Chinese takeout, if I'm saying something is too short, IT'S TOO SALTY.

   An amazing experience every time!! The manager, (Trevor) is extremely attentive as is the wait staff. Never a wait to be served and always prompt in servicing our table. Delish!!!

   Food was very good, although some of the meat was more rare than we prefer. Salad bar was a welcomed treat, especially since most venues have eliminated them post-COVID. However, we were seated a few feet from a large party of 20+ celebrants, who were extremely loud, shouting from one end of the table to the other. It made conversation between the two of us impossible…not even difficult.

   The service was ok, the meat was fantastic and the salad bar was amazing. However, I don't think we'll be back for a few reasons. First, we were sat at a small table pushed all the way against a stone wall on a very busy corner. It felt very cramped and uncomfortable. Especially since there were many other tables open. But, these were the ones they had available for parties of 2. Also, anytime we wanted to get up, it was like dodging rush hour traffic and it felt too hectic to enjoy our date night. We asked for spring water and the waitress brought us 2 liter bottles, one for each of us. Who drinks that much water? Since they were both cracked open and delivered while we were at the salad bar we just let it go but $8 a pop, come on. I've been to a lot of nice restaurants and that was definitely a ploy by the staff, if I wanted two I would have said so. Next, we ordered the sangria pitcher and neither of us are big drinkers (2-4 drinks a MONTH max) but it was our night out without the kid and needless to say $48 later and we weren't even buzzed. But, it was loaded with so much sugar it gave us both a slamming headache and there was sugar pooled in the bottom of our glasses. I didn't want sweetened juice with fruit in it. Where was the alcohol? Lastly, the staff loved to gossip and complain. They huddled together and complained about breaks and this and that for each table. It was distracting and hard to listen to. None of the employees seemed happy to be there. I don't know what the deal was with them but not a great atmosphere. We just moved to the area last year and we were hoping this was our new Brazilian steakhouse. But, no, we will keep searching for better. $235 later I wish I had picked a different restaurant. Go somewhere else unless being over charged for mediocre service is your thing.

   Servers should serve over the table on your plate so that foods don't hit the floor and then your expected to clean it up.

   Everything was good, but not like how it used to be. There were times there was no meat on the floor at all. It seems the selection has decreased compared to just a few years ago
