Well the restaurant is beautiful. The menu is very limited and it does not represent the true Brazilian Churrascaria dining experience. The service was poor, and there were literally of eight tables dining. They only had one bottle of Prosecco. Ordered Champagne waited forever and then had remind the waiter to bring the Prosecco. Most of the meats were undercooked and flavorless. The salad bar was great, with some exceptions. The preparation of the food overall left a lot to be desired, most food items were full of garlic, the black beans over spiced with bay leaf, potatoes too whipped. It was a birthday and anniversary. No birthday cake. The desserts were not good at all. Then the coup 'd grace was the bill. The total cost for the entire evening $406 and change. We had $120 in coupons and still owed $286. The billing was confusing and presented on 4 separate tickets, the server could not explain it and the manager came to a different conclusion, we still paid $286, plus a $75 cash tip! Overpriced, underserved, left hungry and generally terribly disappointed. I doubt I would go back or refer anyone to the restaurant. For the money we paid we could have had a great meal at Canlis, Daniel's, Heartwood and a dozen other places. Complete disappointment.
