Everyone raves about the MEAT but can we also give praise to their Salad Bar? Meat you already know 10/10 with also providing fish options and shrimp everyone can eat here Salad Bar 10/10 constant eye on the bar where they always are replenishing it to offer freshness every time you step up your it Service 20/10 if there was such thing! They are constantly on top of you ( in a good way ) you feel like your on Vacation with the service they give you

The only reason this place is not a complete 5 stars is for one reason, the hostess that greeted us seemed irritated the moment we walked in the door. We had reservations, and I understand if the table is not quite ready yet but the way we were told this came off as somewhat rude, as though our presence was imposing on her somehow. Other than that brief interaction the service was top notch. Food was excellent and had a wide variety at both the self serve buffet and the meat that was presented.

This is our go-to Brazilian steakhouse, and it never disappoints! We originally came in 2019 for our Anniversary Dinner while visiting Tampa from Florida’s East Coast. Shortly after we moved to the West Coast and it’s been our go to since. We bring friends and family here whenever they want to experience authentic Brazilian cuisine, and it’s always a hit. My husband was born and raised in São Paulo,Brazil, and he says this is the best Brazilian steakhouse around—everything is fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. The variety of meats is incredible, and the service is top-notch. The grilled pineapple and ribs…..Absolutely to die for! If you’re looking for an amazing authentic Brazilian dining experience, this is the place to go!

Hands down the best food you will eat! Worth every penny. Service is perfection from the time you walk in until you leave it is a customer experience. The salad bar is by far some of the freshest food you will ever eat, everything is made fresh and from scratch. The gauchos walk around and keep your plate full. They will find out what you like and make sure they keep bringing it back around. We go several times a year and have never been disappointed. There are other Brazilian steakhouses but they don’t compare. This is one of the best we have visited in Central Fl.

My first time at a Brazilian Steakhouse and it was awesome. The ribeye and filet were my favorites of the night, but everything was really good. All you can eat quality cuts of steak, lamb, chicken, shrimp, salmon, and pork for only $62.50..yes please! My wife who is not a big eater had the salad bar, which had a huge selection of many different foods...calling it a salad bar is far far inadequate. As for the meat coming to your table, don't be shy about asking for what you want if you are not seeing it. Everyone there was friendly and attentive. They even indulged my odd request for ketchup. My wife said the lobster bisque was the best she ever had!

I would argue best restaurant in Tampa. Light but lively atmosphere. Pace of service is non-stop, so food is always fresh with endless selections. Buffet style side dish bar had top quality selections. Engaging service staff and management. My wife and I don't get many date nights, she said any time we can steal away for a dinner out, we know where we are going. 😁
