AUTHENTIC BRAZILIAN STEAKHOUSE
The Grill From Ipanema in Seattle is all about Rodízio, a popular Brazilian style of enjoying dinner among friends and a truly unique dining experience. Rodízio offers a wide variety of different cuts of grilled meats slowly roasted in specially designed charcoal grills. Served continuously by "passadores" or "gauchos" with food brought on skewers or carved to order tableside, servers make their rounds until guests can’t take another bite. Dining at The Grill From Ipanema also includes unlimited visits to the "mesa de frios" (cold table) for an array of cold cuts, cheeses, and exotic Brazilian specialties.

    The meat was really good but there wasn’t a huge assortment of sides on the salad bar however overall it was good! The service was top tier and so were the grilled meats!!! I would go again!

    Was looking to enjoy some rodizio with a couple of friends, and hadn't been to Ipanema since before Covid shutdowns. The biggest disappointment was evident as soon as we were greeted and shown to our tables: A noisy musician was playing American covers & doing crowdwork with nearby tables, which both diminished the ambiance of dining in a (supposedly) upscale Brazilian steakhouse & made it difficult for the three of us to carry a conversation. A trip to the salad bar also left a bit to be desired... The mix of options had very little in the way of fresh produce to balance out the heavier meal being served tableside, featuring options like clam chowder and potato salad which don't pair well with rodizio. The rodizio itself was great, with friendly and attentive servers keeping our plates full throughout our meal. But with a mandatory 20% service charge tacked on (boo junk fees!), even with a Groupon (which was applied incorrectly, negating nearly 30% of the promised value) it came out to $80pp before drinks. I still have a slight preference for Ipanema's rodizio over Fogo, but the ambiance & salad bar are better at Fogo, as well as the price point/value.

    We felt rushed. A lot of the beef tasted the same & it was hard to hear what they were saying. A sign on the meat skewer would have been helpful. The chicken was good, but could use more seafood. We felt like we were in a beef comatose.

    We’ve been here a half a dozen times in the last few years. The food is always excellent, the house special is always top tier. My only complaints are how long the drinks take to arrive and how slow the check-out process is. Last night we had a 4:30 reservation, there were only a few other people, and the drinks still took more than 15 minutes. Additionally, to close out took closer to 30 minutes. I do think they was extra lengthy due the use of a Groupon, a first at this establishment for us, which also ended up being applied incorrectly. It does appear that only one man is responsible for the drinks/close-put process for the entire restaurant. Despite the slow drink and check-out service, we will continue to come back as the food is always excellent, we will just make sure to allow for extra time to ensure we aren’t late to our events post-dinner.

    This grill is a unique and exciting experience where they bring your premium rotisserie cuts of a variety of meats and some fruits to your table as you pace your dining experience. They have a spacious and well stocked salad bar to add to your meal. This restaurant is a meat lovers dream! Bring your appetite.

    The Grill from Ipanema is my favorite Brazilian restaurant. Not only because of the food quality but also because of their service. I can’t wait to go back.
