There is nothing not to love about this place! From the excellent service we got from our waitress, Sarah, to management being out and about on the floor helping with the small things (like clearing tables), and to the amazing food! My husband and I loved it all! We recommend always making a reservation ahead of time, as it does get packed, but for good reason.

This has got to be the best Rodizio I've ever had. Everything from the phenomenal service, the outstanding quality at both the salad bar and the cuts of meats, I was truly blown away! Better than any Rodizio in Toronto, and I've had them all. The service is so amazing. I felt like I was in a 5-star steak house... but better. Every cut of meat was unreal and they kept coming and coming and even asked what have we not tried yet and brought it out immediately. We did a 5-day Texas food trip, and I think this was the best spot we ate at.

Wonderful service, delicious steak and drinks and nice ambiance. The meats were moist and flavorful. Best lamb chops ive ever had. Service is very attentive even pulling out my chair for me. Waiter made good drink recommendations too

This place beats its competitors in my eyes. Just to start the adventure, the center bar was loaded with options all flavored to perfection. The meats were more then just a few selections. My child's personal favorite was the smoked sausage. Will definitely be back.

The meats were just a tad salty but don't think that means they weren't delicious. We were even told they they can correct this! They were outstanding! The salad bar was good and the service and atmosphere were fantastic. Highly recommended and will be returning.

We visited Chama gaucha on Tuesday evening, January 28th. After we entered, we were quickly greeted and seated. I will note that on this visit, we were guests and had no actual cash outlay. After we were seated, a wait person stopped by to explain how everything works and flows. I will note that we have been to Chama gaucha and are fortunate to return. We ordered our drinks and quickly set off to the salad bar (pictures attached). After the salad bar, the sides and flows of various meat selections began. For the sides, we opted for mashed potatoes, the little cheesy bread rolls, and some other items - fried bananas and bread. Meats were filets, sirloin, other cuts, sausage, chicken, etc. Overall, we had a great time. The service is top-notch, and the staff is very professional.

Some of the most attentive service I have ever experienced. There was a bit of a wait even though we had a reservation however the experience was worth the wait. The server, staff and everyone was extremely friendly and took the time to explain any questions we may have even though they stayed busy all the time. Will definitely be back and would most definitely recommend. Thank you for making my son’s 21st an awesome experience. 🙏
