Not the best experience. food was very slow to come to the table. The whole experience felt as though the restaurant is trying to minimize the amount of food they deliver to tables. After I left the restaurant I contemplated stopping at McDonald’s to get food because I was still hungry after leaving the this restaurant. Overall, there were few options of protein. Chicken, limited cuts of beef and some lamb and pork. I’ve been to others Brazilian steak houses with better equipped food options and faster turnover food options. This place needs to step up their game because it was 7 tables and they couldn’t keep up with the food. Very disappointing experience

I had an exceptional dining experience at this restaurant in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina. The meats are clearly carefully selected, offering high-quality cuts that are bursting with flavor. The sirloin cap, in particular, stood out for its incredible juiciness and taste. The side dishes were authentically Brazilian and complemented the meal perfectly. The customer service was top-notch, with Uri providing outstanding assistance and helping me experience the best the restaurant has to offer. The location is also convenient with easy and accessible parking. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend this place!" Wishing them all the best!

Best Picanha I’ve ever had. I’ve worked at a Brazilian steakhouse and lived in Brazil and this was the best in my opinion. The other cuts were great as well! Also- the cheese and honey was amazing… We also had great service from everyone, especially from Ezequiel and Angelica! We will definitely be back here. Highly recommend.

Everything just Perfect in this restaurant. The food is delicious, they have a big salad buffet, no ending meats and a great dessert. The service was great, all the servers very friendly and professional. The manager was phenomenal! The price is around $50 per person. I highly recommend this restaurant, most because of the quality and quantity food and great service.

To begin, let me say how wonderful the service was. We received excellent treatment from all of the servers, including the management. Everything looked fresh and tasted fantastic, and the food bar was tidy and clean. The assortment of meat was excellent. Every cut was done to my satisfaction. The filet mignon dissolved in my mouth. I highly recommend this eatery.

This was my 1st time eating at this establishment. It was awesome! The food was so flavorful, the variety of meats were plentiful. I have never seen a salad bar like that one. I love salads and I was very impressed with the choices. I had the Brazilian margarita. Delicious! The staff was very attentive and friendly. I will go back again.

Valentines day. A bit crowded, but enjoyable. Service a bit slow on requests and processing the check. The manager did give us the check after 18 minutes as well as a free meal, which I think was included in the Valentines day price.

Worst steak I have ever tasted. Salad bar had same bowls I use for mixing at my house ($4.99). Best part about the restaurant was leaving and eating the mints. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your money - you’re better off eating across the street at Buffalo Wild Wings.
