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.","diningStyle":"Elegant Dining","publicTransit":"","executiveChef":null,"entertainment":null,"cateringDetails":"","website":"http://www.riobrazilsteakhouse.com/","hoursOfOperation":"Dinner\n

The food was superb, as was my first Cairipina(?), the Brazilian National cocktack. \n The salad bar was extentsive and absolutely fresh, and had items such as Shrimp , Chicken Salad, Marinated Salmon, all manner of vegetable and fruit salads. This is more than enough for someone like my wife who does not like to eat much meat. She was completely happy.\n I, on the other hand, am a real Carnivore - the meat was superb, served at yout table, hot and done the way you like it! I certainly got my money's worth!!! \n It was my Birthday, so Adrian gave us a complimentary dessert which my wife and I shared - it was absolutely decadent, and was complimented by a Double Espresso and Brazilian Coffee.
