Great place. Got the Rodizio for two on Groupon - good value with two drinks and two deserts. Buffet had a good selection, food tasted fresh and there was plenty to choose from. Meat was well cooked and plenty of it. Service with bringing meat was great, the regular service was a bit slow / distracted. Will visit again in the future.

I had the pleasure of eating at this place, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile by our waiter, Guilherme. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and provided exceptional service throughout our meal. But what really made our evening special was Guilherme's hospitality and charm. He was courteous, friendly, and made us feel like we were the only table in the restaurant. And, I must admit, Guilherme's handsome smile and charming personality didn't go unnoticed. He was a true professional, but also had a certain je ne sais quoi that made our dining experience even more enjoyable. But, onto the food - which was absolutely delicious! Which was fresh and flavorful. The portions were generous, and the presentation was impressive. Throughout the meal, Guilherme checked in on us regularly, ensuring that everything was to our liking. He even made some excellent recommendations. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a exceptional dining experience. The food is outstanding, and the service is top-notch, thanks to waiters like Guilherme who truly understand the meaning of hospitality. We will definitely be back, and I'm sure Guilherme will be the first person we ask for when we return.

Loved it! Quaint spot with casual vibe! Food was outstanding! Top sirloin, brisket, chicken, hot sausage, roast and many side options! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable! Eager to help! Suggest reservations.
