Our server Lucia was amazing. The meat carvers that went around would skip our table and the corner area several times throughout the evening. I’ve been to Texas de Brazil many times and in several locations and have never experienced where they would only go to certain tables and skip a whole section in the restaurant. I have always loved going to Texas de Brazil. I noticed that the gentleman server who was in the same section waiting on surrounding tables literally next to us would point to tables he served or call out table numbers and those were the only tables they would bring the meat carvers. I have always appreciated the establishment and this will not hinder me from going to this establishment. One thing I’d like to say is, the carvers should go to every table around the restaurant. Restaurant goers seek good service for the price someone pays to enjoy the experience.
