   Food is great, didn't realize how much food was included so we couldn't try more fish 5 or 6 types of the 16. However, very expensive for my budget. $250 ish for 2 of us. Good experience though.

   The foods were not great. They only had 1 guy who brought the foods & 1 guy who brought the drinks. It took forever. The foods were mostly raw & salty. Very disappointed

   The selection of meat was good and came by in good intervals. The best I felt were the Parmesan Pork Loin, Peppered Steak, Tri Tip and I REALLY enjoyed the Grilled Pineapple. Salad bars was good and had a nice variety of items. My only concern was they automatically included a 20% gratuity and it was only 2 of us. We were not told this would be automatically added.

   I walked in with great expectations, only to be rather disappointed. The location seems good, the entrance seems promising but... the host (likely the owner) was on the phone and couldn't bother; the menu includes only two items: the meat delivered to the table (with the usual green/red card on the table) and the salad bar. The salad bar (for $35) was... sad. The meat was... mediocre. No appetizers, no bread, no dessert. Limited (and poor) wine list. The decor inside left a lot to be desired, with aluminum windows and a cold appearance. Crossed off my list. Forever. And too bad, because I like the brazilian grill concept.

   Great food, terrific value using a Groupon. Ambient music too loud. Live music was fun.

   Place was close to empty and we had plenty of food at all times. Different variety as well. Buffett style salad bar was very nice, great selection! We ate a lot - so for us once a year thing.

   We went in the evening. We had reservations and there was still a line. My husband's silverware was dirty. We started getting food and never got our drinks and had to ask the person serving the meat if he could help and he did and brought us water and clean silverware. Kudos to him! It wasn't his job. Discount service for a discount price. We used Groupon. Sadly I bought 2 vouchers and prefer not to go back.

    Our server Patrick C was quite busy and overwhelmed, had to ask for refills several times and once he snapped at us saying “everyone wants something” not cool at all, this mandatory 20% tip (almost $40 for 3 of us) is ridiculous, he didn’t care at all knowing he’d get a tip regardless of service, food was good BUT won’t be returning
