LOVE this place! The service is amazing, the restaurant is big and nice. All you can eat for about $75 per person. A nice wine list, decently priced. Salad bar had a variety of options, the table was served with mash potatoes and cheese bread. Thankful I was able to take some home because the bread was addicting! I wasn’t sure how to take pics of the different meats because we ate it as soon as it came lol but all of them tasted good, especially the Brazilian steak. Literally, Chef’s kiss! I’ve told all my friends to come here. Can’t wait to come back! :)

The ribeye, sirloin, pork ribs, salmon & picanha steak were our favorites. So much variety in meats as well as the salad bar area. A huge thank you to Philip & our waitress Nia as well as all the servers for such a wonderful dining experience. What a wonderful way to spend my son's 15th birthday as well as our 19th wedding anniversary.

Updated with a second visit. About what I expected this time around with attentive servers and nice calm atmosphere. Drinks are delicious and so is almost everything at the salad bar. Cheese bread appetizer and mashed potatoes served up were tasty as well. The meat itself, most it tastes good but on a personal preference alot of them were a little too buttery or oily. Overall good experience however and I would still recommend to others because not everyone's taste is the same. Cheers!

Yoooo, I was debating on leaving a review, but after talking to some coworkers and getting their reaction, I felt slightly robbed. The wife and I went here Saturday after not making it to the hard rock lobster buffet, so we settled for pampas ayce because we've been to plenty of brazilian places to have dinner. I being a big back and have been wanting to try this place out. The place is beautiful inside, and parking at the parking garage across the street was convenient. When we first got in, we told them we had reservations, and the host had the most awkward reaction at looking where to sit us. We got seated and then waited for a server. A goofy looking guy comes over and pretty much looks out of place, but his honesty through the night made me look past the dingy appearance. We went to the salad bar, and that's where the disappointment started. I expected the soup to be a lobster bisque, but it was a chicken marsala of sorts. The salad bar looked like they rarely got replenished. The deviled eggs most places have were just plane hard boiled eggs garnished with some chive. The cucumber salad was about 3 slices of cucumber and a couple of red onion slices, they never refilled that. I went back plenty of times to see if they refilled anything and nope. The meats were slow coming out at first but then when they finally started it seemed that with was the same 6 cuts. Of course we passed on the pork sausage and the chicken legs cause honesty we came for the beef and lamb. We asked about the lamb and cheese to see if it was being offered but after being there for an hour we still had to keep asking if it was going to come out. The lamb leg finally came out and it looked so undercooked. One bite and we didn't want anymore. The cheese I waited on for a hour was so burnt underneath that it felt like I had fallen on the beach and had my mouth open. So burnt up all the honey in that pot couldn't save it. A man I assumed was the manager would ask how everything was every 30 mins which was nice but the food there was definitely not worth it. At some point I asked the young man that was serving the meat to drop off a whole piece of meat on the place that when he did and it landed like a piece charcoal on my plate he asked me if I would like another one. The quality of the food here is not worth the price. I understand that it's a family owned buisness and we all struggle but I left there disappointed and less $250 in my pocket. Alright $250 was for 2 dinners and 2 of there mixed drinks. They got me when the tipping options started off at 25%. I have buyers remorse like 100%.

Food: AMAZING. Drinks: AMAZING. Bartender dude: AMAZING. Other service: pretty good, but a bit slow when we were trying to get our check (and the place was not busy). Overall: amazing, would definitely go back! Especially for their pão de queijo and the grilled cheese with honey and guava sauce 😍

This place is amazing, the staff is welcoming and attentive. Everyone was relaxed and not pushy. The smell of the food makes the mouth water in anticipation. Definitely need to come and try it out.
