The salad bar is exceptional! Artichoke hearts, Hearts of palm, fresh salmon, salad, fresh cheese, etc. Best salad bar EVER... The meat was SO GOOD.... Tender, delicious. Yes, it was pricey, but I will remember this restaurant and how awesome the food is.

We were disappointed. It barely resembled what it was like when we lived in São Paulo. Everything was spicy; the sausage, the black beans, even the dried tomatoes. Never had spicy food in the south of Brazil. There was a little attitude from some of the servers. The salad bar was sparse. With all that, I also have to say... More

There were so many intriguing items on the salad buffet that we couldn't get to them all. Delicious meat and vegetables. Price was high but the food was outstanding if you like lots of beef, lamb, chicken and pork!

It is a price fixed for Lunch or Dinner, Lunch $40/pp, Dinnner $60/pp. We went for lunch. It was quiet and relaxing. We had the Arnold Palmer, which is half ice tea and half lemonade, they add some ginger too. It was very good. Beautifully arranged salad bar with 20 or 30 choices, but don't fill up! You are there... More

I cannot find one dislike for this amazing restaurant. Buffet salad bar had the freshest vegetables and they were displayed so appetizingly. The staff were very nice and quick to serve all their appetizing meats. Number1

Incredible food and service. Our servers were great. Charlie, our main server, made our anniversary experience special. We were seated quickly and everything clearly explained. Wonderful salad bar, but save room for the main event. Watching the other diners, I would say they all seemed to be having an equally great time. We're from out of town but I'd love... More

Great food! The best salad bar, and I don't normally eat salad. The meat is sliced off the skewers at whatever degree of doneness you desire. The service is 2nd to none, as always. You can run up a sizeable tab with drinks but it is well worth it.

Salad bar was delightful with pleasant findings such as fresh asparagras and smoked salmon. Pace yourself because the best is yet to happen. Turn your serving card to the green side and you will be approached by servers ready to custom slice you excellently prepared beef, lamb, chicken, and pork. Remember to flip your card to red to slow down... More

It is recommended that you booked a reservation since the restaurant is quite a popular one. My party and I booked a reservation but we opted to sit at the bar for a few minutes before getting to our table. The staff greeted us promptly and showed us to the bar. The bartender promptly mixed our drinks of choice and... More

This restaurant is fabolous! My recommendation is to go really hungry and try to focus on the meat and not too much in the salad bar. The beef and pork are delicious, it almost melts in your mouth! The waiters are very friendly and they work in team, this means you can order what you want to any of them... More
