Steakhouse

Glen Allen

About the restaurant

Rio Brazil Steakhouse set on the outskirts of Richmond and Glen Allen.
A Brazilian steakhouse, commonly known as a "churrascaria," is a dining establishment that specializes in the traditional Brazilian barbecue style of cooking meat. These restaurants are renowned for their "rodízio" service, where a variety of skewered meats, such as beef, pork, lamb, and chicken, are slow-cooked over an open flame.
Our Customers experiences a continuous tableside service where servers, known as "gauchos," carve the meats directly onto the diners' plates. The rodízio style allows patrons to enjoy a wide selection of meats until they are satisfied, with the serving process continuing until they signal for it to stop.
In addition to the succulent meats, Brazilian steakhouses often offer an expansive salad bar with a variety of fresh vegetables, cheeses, and side dishes to complement the main courses offering a unique and popular dining experience.

I've been here a few times, the food is always good. I love the pineapples with the cinnamon! The service is good, too. I do wish the seating was a little more intimate. There is no place to put your purse and the chairs don't allow you to hang it on the chair either so you have to hold it or wear it. It's a little annoying. Not a deal breaker, but definitely could elevate the place if there were booths added.

One can’t really go wrong with pizza but the fact there were premade choices for everyone AND the option to build your own - even VEGAN - was amazing. Food was delicious and we loved the crust options; will try the BELLLA next time.

Mosaic offers a mixed dining experience. My mother thoroughly enjoyed her meal, which was well-prepared and flavorful. Unfortunately, my hanger steak arrived cold, which was disappointing. We also ordered desserts to go, and they did not hold up well—dry and lacking flavor. While the ambiance and service were pleasant, the inconsistency in food quality left much to be desired.

It was nice, we sat outside. Mushroom taco amazing. Queso ok. Salsa not what I would call salsa, way too tomato-ish.
