The salad bar was very basic in options. The chicken in the chicken salad was extremely tough, chewy and just uneditable. The meats were very tough and flavorless. The mashed potatoes came to us cold and were terrible. We had to ask several waiters, many times for sauces that we needed to even eat the food. The entire experience, or lack thereof, was subpar at best, and there’s simply no reason to go back.

My husband and I went for a Xmas eve date and loved it!Food & service was wonderful!! There were lots of items at the buffet, and the meat kept on coming! We were asked multiple times if we had any requests on the meat which was very thoughtful. The staff were both kind and entertaining. We got the liquor cheesecake for dessert and LOVED it! So good! Will be back for another special occasion.

When we arrived, we were quickly seated and the waiter showed up immediately and offered us bottled water. We politely asked for tap water, which wasn't even offered as an option. We wanted to order wine - but our waiter disappeared, so we went to the salad bar. The selection seemed more extensive and varied than other Rodizios. We picked a few of the options including the Wedge Salad and the mozzarella and tomatoes. They turned out to look much better than they tasted. After 15 minutes when our waiter bother to show up - I told him we'll have no wine. The meat that was served varied in quality - The Top Sirloin was good, Bottom sirloin and chicken legs were both decent, the fillet mignon was below average (it didn't even taste like fillet mignon) and the lamb and chicken hearts were both smothered with what tasted like chili flakes which made them inedible, and you couldn't taste the meat at all. This was a huge disappointment. Another annoyance was we were never given the list of meats and some never made it to our table. I did remember some from the list we saw on the website, and they only arrived after I explicitly asked for them by name. Finally, once we were done - we were left for 20 minutes until someone noticed. We asked for the dessert menu. We received a single menu for dessert - to share. This really annoyed me - so I flagged a waiter and asked for the check. Needless to say - refills on our water were nonexistent. Finally - they tack a 20% mandatory service charge, without disclosing it anywhere on all checks. They then ask for another 20% tip. Most people probably wouldn't notice and would pay a 40% tip. In my opinion this is borderline fraud. Service was very bad, much worse then most restaurants. I would recommend to stir clear from this place. My first and last visit here.
