    Server left (went home) after taking our order, and only after chasing up at 45minutes got any sort of response... Buckets of "ice cold" beers were warm. Food was ok, but after an hour, we would have enjoyed shoeleather. It was actually hard work to seek attention, in a quiet restaurant, withe one other large group of 8 and 2 tables of 2. Shameful.

    The service was absolutely terrible. I was there for a birthday celebration and the entire experience was appalling. Waiters spoke very limited English so orders were being incorrectly processed. Once we had settled the bill, we were not even informed that the sum of the bill was incorrect and a second bill was simply brought out and left on our table without any explanation. No apologies were given for the entire evening.

    Not a Brazilian in sight for a very good reason. Food is depressing and not authentic. Most people were eating nachos. Please stop calling yourself a Brazilian place.

    It was my bday treat, however the staff seemed unaware of the offer, so there was a bit of confusion with the order. The (lovely on point) new manager rectified it all and made it a better FILLING experience(thank you Juan). If the waiting staff knew of the offers prior to the customer, than the overall my rating would have had a few more 5s. I will be back :)

    Chef shortages in the kitchen caused problems for the staff. Food was late and cold but the manager was keen to sort out the problems. Slow service

    Love this place - the food is exactly the kind of thing I love. No other cuisine has everything that I like, just small aspects. Really recommend it.

    Food and atmosphere are amazing here. The service is a little slow - look time to order, wait for drinks, pay the bill etc - but everything else makes up for it.
