The Grill From Ipanema Review

was an amazing new experience. loved all the meats they offered, and the salad bar was fresh. all you can eat too! so full definitely going back.

What else can I say about this place , besides its a meat lovers heaven

If you wanna eat to much red meat this is the place! Great food. Great service!

Excellent service and food. A little expensive but worth it.

My favorite restaurant. Exceptional service and top notch quality meat. Best rodizio I've been to, and we travel a lot and try out many of them.

This place is amazing!! Great food and excellent service.

Great selection of meats and all you can eat vegetables and salads. Courteous and attentive staff

As always the steaks are amazing! And the banana colada is so yummy. Just wish they had a pog for no pork, would be so much nicer not to waste the servers time offering us pork.

Good food, but also very expensive. They say they have over a certain amount of meats but it feels like they keep bringing the same ones over and over. Salad bar was really good!

This location is one of my favorites. I've had nothing but pleasant experiences here and plan to keep coming back.

I was extremely satisfied with The Grill from Ipanema. First off, there was live music from an amazing singer. The performance was worth the price of the food by far. The meat came around quick and the salad bar was quite tasty. I was also really satisfied with the price. It wasn't as expensive as I was expecting. Still 53 bucks for a rodizio dinner, but that's cheaper than what I've seen at other places. We will definitely come back when we are in need of a Brazilian steakhouse.

The passadores, Guy (I believe this is the correct spelling? The person with the beard) was fantastic! He was funny without being cheesy, and kept our plates full! Thank you for the birthday card and wonderful experience! We ll definitely be back.

Went here for our anniversary dinner and it was great. The meat they bring on skewers to your table and slice some for you. There were like 12 different meats from chicken to bison to shrimp to cheese steak! Filet mignon too! We went on a Friday and it was busy. They had live music that was very good. Fun festive place. Get a reservation for sure. It was a little expensive but the service and food is well worth it. Two adult beverages and dinner was about $130 all in.

Excellent service. Wonderful caster! Several food choices, really very satisfied!

Such a delicious and unique dining adventure. Great views out of huge windows on the back walls. Friday and Saturday live music. All around good time.

Very good Brazilian restaurant. They adapted to american taste.

Gluten free options abound. Only two table/buffet (meat) items have gluten out of 17 items served. The fresh vegetable buffet area also has numerous options.

Family member with DAIRY/GLUTEN/SOY ALLERGIES left weighing 5 lbs more than when they entered the restaurant after stuffing themselves with all the different foods they could eat.Then topped it off with some more food, maybe was more like 7 lbs.
This is a great place for any one with special diet needs. I have dined here twice and not been disappointed. Enjoyed
Live music both times I have been here, great entertainment

Awesome. Great food, great service, and great friends to eat with. We will be back.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere but the food was a bit salty and the staff kept getting our drinks wrong. Overall we had fun, but there were things that could be better.

it's perfect, Wonderful food, live music and the best service, we love it!

I hope you are hungry because the food doesn't stop. Grilled pineapple is surprisingly the best part of the meal.

Our group was pretty pleased with the food here. All you can eat can be hit or miss, but this place did not disappoint. Meats were cooked well and they had a plenty of options.

Good food, fairly attentive staff. The bison and the lamb were great. Lots of bacon wrapped tidbits.

Edit:

A friend wrangled me into going again. I must say it was a very much improved visit. I forgot my servers name, he was wearing a jersey with arm tattoos. Service was awesome! Meat seemed better than the last time I went. The live music was nice as well. Overall, I wish this was my experience the first time I dined here. Not sure if there is new management or what but very much improved.

Original review:

So I'm just going to begin by saying, the meat and service was amazing. The salad bar was pretty mediocre but but the meat was delicious.

Now my issue. Apparently this restaurant applies an autogratuity to tables of six or more. Originally our reservation was for six but went down to five. We noticed the 18% gratuity after we paid our check and had originally planned on leaving 20% in cash for our server. Neither the server or host (who is the GM) notified us of this charge.

When I go up to the GM to discuss the issue, he gave me a condescending tone and told me not to blame the server and that it was basically our fault because our party was smaller and that the table we sat at automatically has gratuity on it. As a guest it is not my responsibility to instruct my server with how to charge me. The GM is very unapproachable and rude. We easily were going to leave a 38% tip for our server without knowing. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND SNEAKY ESTABLISHMENT. BEWARE THE 18% GRATUITY BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT LET YOU KNOW.

I was very pleased with their customer service over the phone. I was looking to make a reservation for a birthday party, and they return my calls promptly and were super helpful.

Absolutely delicious food. Try everything if you can but make sure you don't fill up on the salad bar and also leave room for the amazing cinnamon pineapple dessert.

This is the most unbelievably delicious steak you can find! Tri-tip, sirloin, pepper encrusted, garlic braised, bacon wrapped, etc., etc. etc. They also do an unbelievably delicious cinnamon covered baked pineapple. This place will make you want to eat until you pass out. You can't find more delicious steak is Seattle and that's saying a lot! Don't miss this place, if you do one nice dinner in Seattle during a short stay make sure it is the Grill from Ipanema.

All you can eat meat comes to you on giant swords!! Good salad bar, but I wish some of the salad bar options were warm. Cold potatoes and rice are kinda weird... But the servers are awesome and the meat is delicious. It is a fun experience if you have never been to a Brazilian steakhouse.

It's very good place to eat ! Nice and quiet for ingoing . Delicious food !!!

Good service. Amazing meats, and a great salad bar to complement. Most satisfying meal I've had in a very long time. And at a reasonable price

Great food. Great service. Make sure you come with an appetite for lots of meat. And remember that "all you can eat" is NOT a challenge.

Wonderful serve and fab food and drinks. Try the Groupon.

I had never so much different types of meat, was awesome

Staff was awesome. Food was outstanding. Food coma commencing....

Great dining experience. Staff was extremely nice and very attentive.

4 stars because they run regular groupon deals. worth it with the groupon.

I always have such a great experience here. The meat is ridiculously good and they have a very generous selection of delicious sides at the salad bar too. The ambiance is really relaxed and perfect for dates, brunch, or a family lunch/dinner. The staff is really attentive and kind. I have zero complaints. 10/10

Fun place. Lots to eat. It's hard to tell apart from different meats after a while

Always a fantastic experience with exceptional service.

This place was to die for!!!! Sooo DELICIOUS!!!! I almost died when leaving because of how much meat I ate. Great price as well!!

WARNING: They no longer serve Ala Carte items, even though their website says they do.

My favorite The Grill From Ipanema part of town and so conveniently close to my home. The service is amazing with friendly staff and DELICIOUS food. I've had a lot of Ipanema food over the years and many tikka massala's in my time and the ingredients here are the best.

Decided I would rate this place based entirely on it's rice pudding. 4.7 Stars, could be a little thicker but was very good especially mixed with the grill pineapple. Plus it's all you can eat so no need to order dessert. Don't worry about everything else, Rice Puddings a lock.

Amazing food! Amazing service! Everything that was offered and we tried was amazing! World class quality meats and others. It was hard to decide to stop accepting more, but we were getting so full.

A great selection of various meat and the endless salad bar is a great addition. Highly recommend their drink list as it's quite a variety.

Came here for my 50th with the family and loved the place. My son is in a wheelchair and they were very accommodating. The waitres, Victoria, was very nice and knowledgeable with the menu. Great service and great food.

Beautiful restaraunt, friendly staff, amazing food! The salad bar is awesome and the steak of course is top notch

Expensive, food was cold and rice was old/dry. I don t recommend this place.

Not bad but for the price, it should have more variety.

Always have a great time eating here. Food is great. atmosphere is good and has a decent view. Casual, but definitely more upscale and pricier than a standard restaurant, so probably not an everyday place

Great, non-stop meats and delicious sides. The staff is friendly and totally professional. Highly recommended. Bring your appetite for food and a good time.

This place is an experience. If you've never been, GO. Super fun and super delicious. The salad bar itself is impressive; add perfectly cooked steak (and other meats) and you've got a delectable journey to being so full you hurt!
...myonlycomplaintisthatmymenuwasdirtyandsmudgedbutnobigdealseriouslygogogo*cough*

Good selection of meats, including some you don't usually get such as bison and turkey. The cold salad bar was a little lacking.

One of my new favorite restaurants! The meat was delicious, the salad bar amazing, and it was such a fun place to eat.

The salad bar, and sides are great! 10/10
The meat, while seasoned well... is very very rare. If you don t like rare, it may not be for you.

I can only compare this place to my experience in Houston where I'm from. Can't beat Fogo de Chau in Houston. Nice place overall.

If you are a meat lover then go for it otherwise you are wasting your money.

Ok I have waited over 4 years to come back to this place. Boy was it worth it. We celebrated my brothers birthday here for lunch. Much more economical than dinner and worth the price. We skipped breakfast and ate our fill in this buffet style meal. They give you a coaster, red side means hold the meat and green side means keep it coming. They bring 9 different types of meat to your table and cut small portions off. It really adds up in the end. The buffet has endless options for rice, pasta, veggies and fruit. If your really tight for money I suggest the Groupon option.

Food was amazing, atmosphere was fancy and the food just keeps coming but for the price it's a bit much.

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.

I think I need to order bigger pants after this meal!

Excellent food. So many different types of meat to eat. Be careful not to fill up to much on the salad and fruit bar or you won't have time to eat all the different meats they bring out to you, which is really what you're paying that $50+ for.

Delicious food great environment most definitely will do again

Infinate steak, and insanley good service, just expect to spend a few hundred

I've enjoyed The Grill From Ipanema since highschool. The restaurant brings a continuous course of meat to your table which you can choose to take a break from or keep receiving. The drinks here are also great. I recommend the ribeye wrapped in bacon and to try the pineapple brought around to your table. If you're looking for some great tasting meats and drinks to boot I would definitely recommend this place. Great long islands.

Wow! This place is amazing! Kind wait staff, amazing food and awesome atmosphere. The cocktails are great too! Kinda spendy, but totally worth it!!!!

Great selection, but a bit too salty on several of the cuts. Must have been a different chef because I've been before and will go again in hopes of less salt next time.

Absolutely wonderful, got a deal with Groupon and I would come back without that. I loved most of the meats, they were all cooked perfect to my taste. Getting to eat the whole menu was great and many meats I asked for seconds.

The service was good, everyone was polite and catered to my every need.

Immersive experience, great food. I'd recommend friday or saturday night for the live music. All you can eat so come hungry!

Food and service and atmosphere is always exceptional!

Great food, but you can't expect them to call you back for a reservation.. You have to download the stupid app.

The food is amazing here with very friendly staff. Every visit makes us want to return again.

A very good place to have lunch or dinner alone or accompanied with family or friends and friends, good variety of cuts of meat and shrimp good drinks, a very pleasant place with a pleasant visual atmosphere, modern More
