    There is a lot of great choices on the menu. The atmosphere of the restaurant was quiet (mostly because we dined on a holiday, but I am certain if we dined on a normal day it would’ve been lively and energetic). Our server was wonderful, and the food was great. The pizzas are great to share among 2 people as they are individual pizzas with 6 sizeable slices. The pastas a generous portion and fit the price. They do add gratuity (tip) to the bill & leave you the option to add more. Overall the experience was wonderful and I would recommend and go again.

    It's an experience! The food is great, the cheese bread is alluring and even a vegetarian can get thier fill in a Churrascuria like this. the salad bar is loaded with hearty salad options, cheeses, meats, candied bacon, all the best salad toppings! and so very much more. The gauchos walk around with freshly grilled cuts of meat, they tell you what they are serving and then slice it off for you.. The sides are delicious. We went on Christmas Eve. Lively atmosphere. IncrediblyFestive!
