   The quality of the meats with the Rodizio is excellent, but they don't bring out some of the better cuts like filet mignon until the end of the night. By then, you've probably filled up on the picanha meat. The servers were efficient and helpful. If you get a birthday offer, they'll limit the choices of the meats because they know you have a free offer--seems like a dirty trick. Overall the food was well above average for a Brazilian Barbeque Rodizio-Style Restaurant.

   We had a great time celebrating our son's 18th birthday. The food was amazing as always! Jonathan Escobar was our server. He was a delight to talk with and was very attentive. Jonathan made our experience one we will never forget. He is definitely an asset to your team. He is friendly and professional with a high work ethic that shows with his service. Thank you Jonathan for a job well done!

   Too busy and far too noisy meaning its was not a nice atmosphere or experience . Food was average although service could have been better as had to attract waiters attention several times to get what we wanted. Priced high so would expect better. Buffett was a free for all with too many people feeding and piling there plates high .Utter greed it looked like.

   Second time there - first time over year ago was great. I was excited to entertain out of town guests but this time was very disappointing. We had a party of 8. Service was okay even though we had to ask repeatedly for water refills and plate removal and specific meats. Most of the meats (even the shrimp and salmon) were overcooked, burnt and dry. How can you literally overcook everything - even the lamb chops?? Also, all the skewers came out at once - chaotic - and then just abruptly stopped so we had to ask the waiter for specific items. 🙁

   We had reservations to celebrate a 50th birthday. We were seated promptly. Our table had a beautiful view of the tree out front. The service was amazing, attentive and fast. All of the servers were non-stop the entire evening. Food was delicious. Wine selection was good too. Our family thoroughly enjoyed and will be talking about this experience for a while. The only thing I would have liked to see was a warm green vegetable but they had a large cold bar of side dishes and cold salads, warm rice and beans, etc. Overall, we loved it and will definitely go back! We even bought a gift card for a friend while we were there.

   We love Chima and Dine here very frequently. The food is incredible and the crew will make sure your experience is TOP-TIER. My family dines out often, but this place is our absolute favorite. We love it so much we have dined at the Orlando location several times. We'll see you next month! 🫶🏽

   Im American, I came with my Brazilian wife and her Brazilian family who arrived in Miami a few days ago. The food particularly than meat was tender and perfectly salted and cooked just delicious especially the picanha. To be honest, the salad bar should have had other options, such as potato salad, salpicao maybe some sushi rolls. We had all delish cuts of beef, lamb, even lobster tail- all excellent. Great work by our waiter Angel. My mother in law left her bag there- Angel reached out personally to let me know as we were almost home. Thank you for friendly and super gracious service Angel !

   It was extremely cold in the dining room - making it very uncomfortable.
