Best Brazilian Restaurants in Corona del Mar

I took my team out to dinner for the holidays and we had an amazing experience! My husband and I got there early so we had a drink at the bar, great service, really nice bartenders and they were funny as well. I had the signature lime drink and it was so delicious! Then the manager came over 5 minutes before our reservation time and got us to take us to our table. Our server Diego was fabulous! He came over to explain how everything worked and then came back again right when the rest of our party arrived to explain it again, he was super nice and good with my gluten allergy which I appreciated. He was always there when we needed anything and made sure we were taken care of. There was plenty of meat that came to our table, one of the guys was amazing, he asked what we hadn’t tried and brought it over to us. We really enjoyed the dessert drink and the show our server put on for us while making it. We will definitely be coming back here! Thank you for a great experience.

Cons-They do not have a foyer/lobby area. Within 5 minutes of my arrival there were 15 people standing in a 6 x 8 space. They will not seat you until your entire party has arrived. It took awhile for our drinks to arrive and longer for the second round. We had to flag down our sever three times for more bread, plantains and polenta. It’s an open floor plan so it’s very loud. Pros- the selection of buffet items was excellent. The meat carvers came around frequently. The steak, pork chops and chicken were delicious. The decor is modern and stylish. It’s costly. Party of three drinks, dessert and tip $403.00. We overall had a great experience.

Lunch on a weekday was great! Somewhat less crowded, good pacing of the meat rounds. The market table is excellent, great fresh salad options and a few hot food ones too. If the feijoada isn't out you may be able to ask your server for a portion from the kitchen, which was nice to have. Oh and the cheese bread is irresistible!

From the front desk to the bar to the servers, the staff was exceptional. The offerings were plentiful and delicious! Valet parking was quick and easy. If I have one complaint, it's that they list a chocolate cake dessert, which is actually a solid piece of chocolate mousse no cake. However delicious, it was a bit deceiving.
