After trying a similar restaurant in Philadelphia, I was excited to try San Diego's Brazilian. Tonight's dinner was a special celebration of my son's birthday with his soon-to-be fiance. The meals are pricey, however, I was willing to pay the fare for a good celebration dinner. While plentiful, I found the meats to all have a gamey flavor. Strike 1.... more

Meats were dry and mostly of the beef variety. Salad buffet was not that exciting. For the best brazilian bbq visit Churrascaria Plataforma in Times Square, NYC. more

We had high expectations for RDG and found them completely unmet. Cost is $48/person. I knew this going in but it was a special night so we figured it would be worthwhile.

However, most people probably are not going to a Brazilian steakhouse to eat salad. I was very disappointed in the quality of the meat. It was... more

Maybe it was on off day for Rei Do Gado . . . We were very excited to finally make it downtown for lunch (we're San Diego county locals) as we'd heard good things from friends. We were there for a late lunch, about 1:30pm on Sat afternoon, 7/5/08, and were very disappointed. The facility appears out of date and... more

Always a family favorite because of the fun "buffet-like" experience. But don't come here if you like your meat cooked medium rare to rare (aka you know how to eat your meat). You'll never have it that way. more
