   We were so absolutely disappointed in our visit. We had looked forward to this for quite a while. The server was just so so - there were four of us. The server had 2 larger tables and were constantly waiting on them, but we were pretty much ignored. I had to literally interrupt the server while he was inputting information into a kiosk behind us to ask for a refill, for plates to be removed, etc. Also, the people with the various meats rarely came to our table and when we asked for a well done filet we had to follow up with 2 other individuals to finally get it. And when it did come it was pretty much burnt, We were never offered everything that was on the menu (that I had to ask to see in order to know what was offered). We absolutely did not get our moneys worth in food or service whatsoever.

   Nice special occasion place. Excellent food except the pork was dry. They just keep on coming with the meats. Nice atmosphere and good service until the end. Not a good value if you have a small appetite. Beware, they give the impression that everything is included. Desert is not. No mention before hand. Spent an extra $65 dollars I didn’t need to. Brought to servers attention after getting the bill but she was indifferent and made no offer of an adjustment.

   Very good. Glad we went early as it got very noisy later on.

   Requested to sit in the middle of the restaurant to celebrate my birthday. It was printed out on the sheet for the server. Request was not followed. We were seated at the back end of the restaurant closest to the mall. Requested medium well meat and received a lot of rare meat. Waitress was very slow getting to our table just to ask what we wanted for drinks

   By far one of the best dining experiences I have had in quite a while. The food kept coming, and the quality was excellent. The service was great in every way. Will definitely be returning.

   Craving meat and lobster bisque. Need I say more? Delicious, expecially the flank steak, and the bisque is like drinking velvet. So sated!

   We had a server who didn’t even give us an idea of what we were supposed to do. We had someone who had never been to Texas De Brazil and it would have been nice to give him the run-down before we started eating. They also didn’t tell us we could go to the salad bar and hot sides. Just a weird interaction to begin the meal. We also just sat there with green “coins” flipped and no one came to our table for a solid 10mins. Again, awkward. Server did check in with us a few times for drinks but didn’t clear any empty plates & bowls, but kept clearing plates & bowels for the table next to ours. Again weird service for a table of 4 adults. Server did ask us if we wanted any particular cuts towards the end of our meal which was nice. They came right over and served us. Overall an…ok time. Just expect a bit more given the price pp & drinks. Plus, had we never been there before to know what to do or explain things, we would have been lost.

   The noise level made it hard for the server to explain how everything worked.

   Our server took longer than what’s acceptable bringing our drinks and the check. He was too informal with his language and attentiveness. I went to the bar and got our wine because we didn’t get our pre dinner drinks in over 12 minutes. The food and ambiance was delightful.
