The Grill From Ipanema Review

Expensive but where else can you eat 17 different amazing cuts of meat!?!

This place is in my top 5 favorite restaurants ever. Save room for the pineapple.

A wonderful way to enjoy my birthday! The staff is friendly and helpful. My boyfriend and I really appreciated the excellent customer service. It is a special place!

All good. Tasty, nicely seasoned and grilled. No organ meats available.

This establishment goes above and beyond what the definition of a good restaurant is, their drinks are strong and the food is delicious. After hearing about "the grill from Ipanema" from a co-worker I got a Groupon and made the reservation!!! And I am glad I did. This is a must eat in Seattle Washington for sure

Food was amazing... we had a reservation but got there early and they were nice enough to seat us early

Even on Tuesday the service is dreadful and the food is lackluster.

Unique eating experience. Doubt if you can taste everything

Brazilian BBQ & meat sweats is one of the few cuisines that really get me excited, but I can say differently about this spot. First impressions are pretty normal, a slightly more upscale restaurant with modern decor. Upon getting seated, it was nothing different from a Brazilian BBQ, but I'm going to have high expectations going into the experience, since these meals arent exactly cheap.

I was drawn into this spot from a groupon deal, giving a ~40% discount on a dinner deal. So the reason for my rating is more of the quality & seasoning of the meat. Yeah, it was cooked well, but you can tell straight off the bat that the quality of the ingredients were definitely on the cheaper end. It's similar to buying a cheaper steak from a grocery store compared to a high end butcher.

I will say the plantains & grilled pineapple was done well, but the rest of the meats & salad bar/cold bar were pretty under average. I'd only recommend coming through to this spot if you are utilizing the groupon deal. If you are shelling out the full amount, take the same money and go to Fogo De Chao.

It's about twice the price of other Brazilian steakhouses that I've been too, but it is downtown Seattle, which probably explains it. The salad bar was meh, but the meats were amazing!

First time visiting. I must say, it was amazing! The filet mignon hands down my favorite! I ordered a dirty martini and asked for the olives on the side, Victoria brought over the Martini and the olives were in the glass. Not a big issue I just like to snack on the olives while I drink it before the olives touch alcohol. Anyway, She did a great job, great service all around. I'll definitely be back for the filet mignon. Also, I didn't realize the music was from a live band until we left. Great touch!

Great food, great staff, good atmosphere. Enjoyed my Birthday dinner here. The filet mignon is my favorite. This is our favorite Birthday celebration restaurant.

Pretty underrated place. Has 50% off at bar during happy hour.

Groupon discount not as expected, read the fine print!

This was my first time at a Brazilian steakhouse. I'm afraid that if I go somewhere else, it won't be this incredible. The service was fantastic and most of the meats were out of this world good. The "salad bar" puts some buffets to shame and the drinks are top notch. Get the Caipirinha with guava and passion fruit mixed.

Everything is cooked perfectly & delicious! I've been looking forward to this for a long time & I'm so glad I went! This is the only rodizio I know of with Bison steak & it's by far my favorite!

Love the atmosphere, staff is friendly, one of our favorite places. Bring your appetite! Mozzarella bites are to die for. Pretty pricey, but worth it! About $160 for 2

Lovely ambience and live music but service and food was not worth the price. Servers just served meat without caring for how you would like your meat, few cuts din't ever get served at our table. Salad bar was mediocre. Cheese bread was powdery.

We came here for my birthday, and it was an AMAZING experience. The meat was delicious (I'm drooling thinking about it now) and the servers were super friendly and well informed. 100% worth a visit, I can't recommend them enough!

This is set up like any Brazilian steakhouse, waiters bring skewers of meats or pineapple to your table and slice off a half ounce at a time, then wait for the next skewer. We were there near the end of lunchtime and the salad bar was old and nearly gone. The peppersteak was very good and the sirloin was tasty, but other than that the sausages were not very good, the pork was dry, and the garlic steak was so tough and chewy I couldn't actually eat it. For a $100 lunch I would say it was only worth $60ish for me and my wife and a couple beverages. I have had very good Brazilian steakhouses food before and the lunch service here was just ok.

This place is beyond delicious!! For vegetarians, the salad bar alone is a beautiful and tasty assortment. There meat selection was wonderful and taste even better!! They have a very nice drink selection to accommodate everyone. The place is nicely set up. Dessert was the topper. Quit wasting your time reading reviews and treat yourself to this amazing place.

Unique Brazilian experience, loved the food and atmosphere!

Super friendly staff and, of course, delicious food!

Excellent service, very good variety and quality of food and drinks. Very warm and pleasant music Show. A price that is agreeable and accessible. I recommend it for special events. We celebrated our 22nd anniversary and had a super!!!!

This was my first experience with a Brazilian steakhouse. The food was excellent and there was no shortage of food. The salad bar was fresh and the meat was delicious.

I would not recommend going here without a Groupon. It is fairly expensive, so I consider this a special event restaurant.

The food is great there. Great environment for a great date night.totally worth the money. Staff is friendly and fast.

Great meat but the sides/salad bar selection is lacking

My husband and I went here for lunch. We were really impressed with the food! My favorite was the sirloin - it was cooked perfectly, almost like it melts in your mouth. I can't say that I've had better sirloin! We were fascinated with the number of skewers of meat. A lot of great options. We felt the meal was a bit overpriced, but we understand that it is an "all you can eat" experience. Would recommend it to anyone!

Buffet is the trap haha, do not make your stomach full of appetizers and make sure there is enough room for the meat!! A little pricey but good :)

Great Saturday and Sunday buffet! Lunch and dinner. Wait staff is the best.

Been here a couple times over the last few years and they have improved their customer service. However, their food is still not amazing. Most of the rodizio meats are overcooked and full of char. There are other Brazilian steakhouse out there if you want to try some delicious rodizio.

So much goodness about this place. Great food and we'll worth the price. Pepper steak and bacon wrapped turkey and tri tip were some of what they served. Salad bar with good selections like pineapple, which is great to eat after all that meat to help with digestion.

Best grilled pineapple and they have shrimps on skewer.nice spot for dates and celebrations. Meat everywhere and tasty

Buy a discount on GROUP for 2 people and then this place will be doubly enjoyable!

A must try when in Seattle. Everything was delicious.

I am Brazilian and loved the food. It's authentic. Not as fancy as Fogo de Chao, but I like it better exactly because of that. Nice people and excellent service.

The price doesn't match what shows on Google. It's 7 Dollars more a person!. I talked to the manager he told me there's nothing he can do that's the prices on line from 8 year's ago. Sounds to me like he can't do his job and keep online price updated.

This place is awsome ! Classes but down to earth with a live band , yasss!

Very good. One of the best churrascarias out there!

I had an awesome time! The salad bar has great options, the meat was delicious, our servers were excellent as well. No complaints here! Will visit again (PS- pro tip: use groupon! 50% off)

Great food even though it's a bit pricey compared to our normal Brazilian steak house. Would go back if we were in Seattle again.

Great experience! Excellent staff, excellent food, great dinig experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone.

Excellent. If you wanted to be treated like a star. Great food and service.

Very good Rodizio! Salads were excellent, meats were delicious, and service was superb

I have always had a good experience. Service is great and food is amazing.

Boyfriend and I had the rodizio dinner, there were so many choices of cuts and they were all amazing! The side dishes at the salad bar were delicious as well. Highly recommended!

Visited at eight, it was not full. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. Bring your appetite because portions are large.

The meat tastes better about an hour into the dinner rush

My husband took me here for lunch. We had an incredible time. We made it just before the lunch rush, so it was pretty calm in the dining area. We were immediately greeted by a friendly staff. Their salad bar smelled and looked amazing. Due to being pregnant, I was unable to load up my salad bar plate, but the few items I did get were amazing. Everything from the olives to the roasted apple was delicious. The best part? The meat choice. This was a melt-in- your-mouth flavor explosion. I highly recommend trying this restaurant out for either a romantic dinner date or a night out with your friends.

Food was good, our server was extremely attentive, the atmosphere is also nice. My only complaint, one of the primary reasons for me wanting to go was the buffalo tri-tip which they no longer have but is still on the website.

Michael Anello is a whiney moron who can't spell or use punctuation, and based on his groupon complaints his reading comprehension is in question as well. People like him make service workers jobs difficult. Michael Anello, "your def dumb". Anyway, some pretty damn good "paper thin" meat. You should try it if you enjoy things and are a generally pleasant person, unlike Michael Anello.

Excellent food, they deserve 5 stars for the attention they provide.

Always impressed with this place for both the service and food quality. Due to covid, they closed down salad bar but still brought a huge selection...unlimited quantities...to the table. My favorite place

Mmmmm, one of my most favorite Buffet style Restaurant! Never ate meat red untill I tried it here! Bison is by far my favorite cut of meat!! Don't get me drooling over the grilled pineapple!! Gotta have a ton while there too!! Always go when I get the chance!

Delicious selection of meats, and a tasty salad bar. Worth the visit.

Basic food for premium price..this is not a 5 star restaurant, food & atmosphere were basic, not a lot of steak options and they cleared out our table after an hour..never experienced that at any restaurant, you usually can have food until they close..most (99%) of meat were medium rare bloody..they counted a baby (less than a year old) as guest to charge gratuity. Server and live music was good.

Most food is under cooked, long wait times, but its a good fun experience. Just a bit pricy.

The staff was very helpful and welcoming. The place has a cool feel to it.

Great food and service. Loves the chicken and salad bar. Flan was yum.

Definitely one of the best Brazilian restaurant outside of Brazil.

I had a wonderful evening here on Valentine's Day with my girlfriend. The manager was exceptional and the food was even better we had a great time and will definitely go back again and again. Thank you Rodrigo.

Without knowing the rule here, he passed by and saw only the signboard. I also kindly explained to strangers. I was able to eat a variety of high quality meat, and I was able to spend my last Seattle calendar.

Wow!... the food left me speechless. This place is good for a date or for a group of people. Amazing service as well.

Needs better and more engaged staff, and the salad bar is pretty meagre but, man, the meats are worth it. Excellent cuts, well prepared and no shortage of them. Fogo might be fancier but this place has far better meats.

Clean place very good waiters/waitresses friendly the food is awesome would go back love the love music very friendly atmosphere

Pretty expensive salad bar for what you get. Is not the place to go if you do not love meat. The live music was cheesy American and it would have been great to have Latin American music instead to fit the theme.

Took my boyfriend there for the first time and he loved it. The service was amazing.

Amaaaazing! The staff were very friendly, the food was fantastic, and the selection was more than I'd even expected. Definitely a place I look forward to going again.
