    The staff were SOOOOO incredibly kind, and attentive. 5 stars across the board. The experience was top tier, the meats were all seasoned, and cooked perfectly. The grilled pineapple? Sublime. The tres leches cake? Dear Lord. The owner brought over a passion fruit mouse jelly topped dessert as well that was just... out of this world. Can't recommend this place more highly.

    We went during Valentines day and they had a couples special (as places do). Since my fiance and I dont drink we were able to transfer the deal with the drinks to our friends. The staff were very attentive and sweet. They made adjustments to my friends dessert to suit her allergies and must've seen my fiance drooling over the pineapple because they made sure he had his fill. I appreciate the maitre de checking in with us during our meal and the salad bar (which offered WAY more than just salad) was amazing. We will be making another reservation.

    The service was excellent, salad bar was fresh, the variety of grilled meats at the temperature and seasoning I prefer was delicious. For a different type of night out, I would highly recommend Picanha Brazilian Steakhouse.
