Excellent from start to finish. Mr Allen our server was friendly and made great recommendations. I had the trout dip and artisan crackers appetizer, shrimp and grits and chocolate oreo and coffee ice cream. I would definitely order all again. The food is prepared with estate grown and made and locally sourced items.

My family and I had a great evening, great food, great service, and a neat vibe. The meats were outstanding and my sister and I couldn't get enough of the carmelized bananas! The cocktails were very tasty, and if you've never experienced a Brazilian Steakhouse, you need to, it's fun and different and delicious! Thanks Gauchinho's for a great night!!
