If you're craving an endless feast of perfectly grilled meats, this Avenida Brazil Brazilian Steakhouse by Sal e Brasa is the place to be. The servers keep the skewers coming with juicy cuts of beef, lamb, pork, shrimp, scallops and chicken, all carved tableside. The salad bar is fresh and well-stocked. The service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is lovely. A special shout out to Luis Gonzalez, whose hospitality and attention to detail were extraordinary. He made the experience even better with his impeccable service. Go hungry, because you’ll want to try everything. Definitely worth it for meat lovers!

This is such a nice Brazilian Steakhouse. They staff is friendly and efficient. They come right away with table service and whatever you need. The salad bar is full stocked and beautifully displayed. They come right ambiance is very nice. I could see you going for special occasions because if the price or on a date. However maybe not a first date because of the dim lighting and who wants to be stuffed to the brim. But what a great place to visit and have a special dinner with others or even by yourself. Go check this place out.

The name of one of the staff members helping us was Linda and she truly helped make our visit amazing and unforgettable. I felt like our drinks and sides never got the chance to run out and every cut of meat we asked for was at our table shortly after we requested it. The cuts of meat at this place were phenomenal! I truly recommend the spicy picanha medium rare to rare as well as the New York steak. The cuts were perfect and melted as soon as we bit into it. Everything was perfect and at an amazing price. The staff should feel proud of what they do and I hope they keep their standards this high for our future visits.

My wife and I visited Avenida Brazil Brazilian Steakhouse for the first time, and it absolutely did not disappoint! From the moment we were seated, everything about our experience was exceptional. The service was impeccable, with our waiter, Miguel E., going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. He was incredibly attentive and proactive, making sure our experience felt personalized and seamless. As for the food—wow! The steaks, particularly the New York strip and sirloin, were cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. The seafood options were equally remarkable. The salmon, scallops, and shrimp were fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. This was a top-notch dining experience in every way, and we’re already looking forward to returning. If you’re looking for incredible food, outstanding service, and a memorable evening, Avenida Brazil is the place to go! Highly recommended!

This place didn't disappoint! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and the food was great, the service was amazing and overall just a great Brazilian steakhouse. They do serve more seafood here and the grilled halloumi cheese was to die for. Also l like my steaks medium well and there was certain meats that was a little too over done but I ended up getting them again and they came out way better.

We recently at Avenida Brazil, the new Brazilian Restaurant. It was a delightful experience from start to finish. The ambiance is nice and casual, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. We kicked off with some fabulous cocktails that set the tone. We followed with their salad bar that boasts with over 30 fresh items. It was a feast for the eyes and taste buds! The selection of meats was excellent, featuring lamb, beef, chicken, and seafood, all served with delicious sides of potatoes and caramelized bananas. One thing that stood out to me was the generous portion sizes; the meat was served in slightly larger pieces compared to the thin slices I've encountered at other Brazilian steakhouses. As it was our first visit, we were pleasantly surprised when my daughter received a complimentary molten chocolate cake for her birthday. It was a sweet touch that made her day extra special. We also indulged in the crème brûlée, which was unique in texture—less creamy than most, with a cheesecake-like consistency, yet bursting with flavor. It might just be one of the best I've had! The staff were very attentive and friendly, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Avenida Brazil Restaurant for anyone looking for a casual Brazilian dining experience.

“Amazing Dining Experience!” This Brazilian steakhouse was absolutely incredible! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The variety and quality of the meats were outstanding—each cut was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. But the real showstopper? The grilled cheese! It was unlike anything we’ve ever had—crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and bursting with flavor. It’s worth visiting just for that! Overall, a fantastic experience. If you’re looking for amazing food, impeccable service, and something a little different, this place is a must-visit! Thank you Luis Gonzales
