I went here two days ago and this place was spot on. Waiter was excellent service top notch and the overall atmosphere was fantastic. The food there was amazing. A little too rare for my liking I’m more a medium guy but I loved the meat there. I highly recommend this place if you’re having a party, going with friends, family or to go there for fun. Love this place!!!

The best experience in Saint Paul. Great ambient and space. The servers are wonderful and polite, especially Yasmin and Luis, they were attentive and respectful with us. There is a great variety of meats and all them was delicious. The buffet is amazing with a enormous variety of options including Feijoada. I have to talk about the Brazilian's Cheese Bread, it's the best in town!

My wife enjoyed it. I am just just not a fan of Brazilian style endless meat. The place was lively and everyone really seemed to enjoy it. Looks to be a great spot for a larger gathering.

The place is cute for a date. However, the meat was just ok. They had everything that Brazilian steak house would have, but salt and pepper! The pineapple was the best thing on the menu.

We've been twice. Both times for lunch, and both times we selected the top shelf lunch. The second time was more fun time as we knew exactly what we liked from the huge salad bar and the fire-grilled meats (especially useful with the servers checking in to see what options you'd prefer to come out next). We love the lamb chops, tenderloin, ribeye, chicken legs and pineapple. Their mango caipiroska cocktail was also delicious. For the service, ambiance, and variety of flavorful food, we'll keep driving the two hours to come back!

We went here for the restaurant week special. The food was awesome! The atmosphere of the historic building was very cool. But the best part was our server T. She was an absolute delight. She was so professional, but still incredibly friendly. She was very attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. T was a total rockstar and I will definitely be returning to Bullvino’s again in the not too distant future.

I took my husband here for his birthday dinner. Yes, it is Restraunt Week but... Our reservation was for 5:45 we were finally seated in the attached Donut Cafe around 6:20. Being that we were off the path of the people serving meats the meat actually did not come very often at all. The staff attending the area actually tried to get them to come in and did ask if there were things we wanted to try but I do they even they were a little frustrated with that area being skipped over repeatedly. The food we had access to was very good. It would probably be much more enjoyable on a different less crowded week. We made the most of it and did enjoy our evening. Most disturbing for me was the fact there was no handicap access to the bathrooms as the elevator was broken or not working. A server actually tried to find out how someone who has difficulty with stairs was supposed to make it down and back up the stairs to use the bathroom before he actually helped me go to the less crowded safer stairs to get down there and made sure I got down there okay. I remembered waiting for our table near a gentleman in a wheelchair, I felt very bad for him. Totally unacceptable and not even sure this kinda thing is even legal.

This was AMAZING! I have only been to one other Brazilian Steakhouse, and while that was good, this was better. The meat is SO good, and while the salad bar looked delicious, we didn't want to waste any room in our stomachs for non-meat. My two recommendations: get a slice of pineapple when they bring it around, as it's a great palette cleanser between different types of meat, and if you're going with a group: divide and conquer. Don't have everyone get one of everything. Split a couple so that you can taste more and really enjoy everything. Also, if you can be in Yasmin's section, she'll make sure you have an amazing experience. This was our first time there and we will definitely be going back!
