Love this place. I went with my best friend and the service, the food was great. Totally forgot the name of my waitress but she was the best. It was my birthday and she got me a free dessert and martini. They sang happy birthday to me and made my dinner even more special. Can't wait to go back.

Absolutely amazing experience! Every single person was attentive and provided phenomenal customer service. The food is chefs kiss even down to the salad bar. The restaurant is impeccably clean and pristine, even down to the bar & the bathrooms. Plenty of parking and good location. Great experience all around! I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

Really enjoyed the huge salad bar with lots of choices. Could stay at this station and have a full meal. Had to save enough room for the delicious meat options. Word of caution to request the degree of cooking that you desire your meat be cooked to, several initial cuts were well done. Service was very good, attention to our needs for clean plates, drinks, or to endure we were happy was done very well. Wish we were closer to this location to revisit more often. Make a reservation because it gets busy.

Wow! I rarely give five star ratings, but this place has earned it. From the moment I walked in the door I was made to feel like I was the most important patron of this restaurant. The service was incredible! Friendly and very helpful. They understand that a rodizio style restaurant is as much about the experience as it is the meat. I never waited more than 30 seconds when I turned my card over from red to green and if they didn't have the temperature I wanted, they didn't serve it but rather went back to the kitchen so that I had the meat EXACTLY the way I wanted it cooked. The managers here are in their game. They pay very close attention to ensure that it's a great dining experience and their dedication rubs off on their staff. If you've never been to a rodizio, come here! If you love them as I do, come here! You won't regret it!

I loved this Brazilian Steakhouse and really loved the remodel of this restaurant. The service is always top tier here and are extremely attentive to each table. The salad bar was extensive with plenty of greens, cheeses, and various vegetables. The variety of steaks you are presented with at your table are overwhelmingly delicious. I loved the top sirloin and the filet. The plantains are also my favorite and they always delivered more when requested. I also ordered the pineapple caipirinha drink which was very tasty. Always a great time here!

My favorite all you can eat steakhouse! The meat quality here is very good. Quality- excellent. My favorite rare cuts of meat are the piccana and the ribeye. Everything else is good but these are the most worth it options here. The rare cuts are perfectly rare. I usually don't go any more cooked. Quantity- good for the price. Make sure you come hungry. Atmosphere- nice high quality and clean area Service- very fast and responsive servers.

We were there last night to celebrate my husband's birthday. I'm going to start by saying while the food is great - the service is impeccable! Everyone was so gracious and moving quickly and getting drinks / food out as soon as possible. The staff here deserves all the kudos from such a special night. As for the drinks - we tried different wines and Caipirinhia's. I liked my wines and my husband liked the Caipirinhia - albeit a tad sweet for him. As for the food - wonderful. I couldn't find prices online, so just FYI, it's $65/person. To me - same price as a steakhouse for a good piece of meat. The salad bar is really good and we were impressed by the different cheeses and spread. We knew not to fill up on it, but it was good selection and tasty. As for the meats - I was impressed by their "rubs". It wasn't just plain meats, but each had unique flavors and many had a "crust". I'm not a huge meat person, but they were delicious - especially the pork ribs and the pork/bacon. I wish I could tell you what else we ate, but it's rattled off so quickly, I had touble hearing it. In the end - they also sang happy birthday to my husband with a complimentary slice of cheesecake - which he thought was delicious. Overall a great experience - wonderful food but even more outstanding staff!

We had a really nice time at this Brazilian Steakhouse. We found this place from simply opening up the Yelp application and saw that this restaurant was just 4 miles/15 minutes away from where we were vacationing. I wanted to connect with something that my Brazilian husband would like for his Birthday. He was a little hesitant because of past experiences at different Churrascarias. Kirk was our table host and we sat right by the hosts' stand in the back room. The cool part is that people from Brazil actually work there so my husband was able to bring out his native Portuguese language. The caipirinhas were on point and dinner was generously delicious. We literally had no room in our bellies to finish his birthday cake treat! Kirk allowed us to bring it home to enjoy later. We appreciated that. So many around us were celebrating birthdays too, in our section, & so it felt like our own VIP party with strangers. We left toooo full and very happy that we gave this place a chance.
