I had an amazing experience at Terra Gaúcha in Stamford! From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed. The hostess seated me right away, Bryan and the other servers made me feel right at home. I started with a caipirinha, which was delicious, and then headed to the salad bar. There were so many fresh options to choose from! But the real highlight was the meat service. Honestly, it was phenomenal. They brought out so many different cuts, all cooked perfectly to my liking (medium rare). I just had to let them know how I wanted it, and it was delivered straight to my table. To top it off, I had the most amazing crème brûlée for dessert. I also had my infant with me, and the staff were really accommodating, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back to Terra Gaúcha for another incredible rodízio experience. Thanks for everything!

Fantastic food and service! Holiday music was a little loud but we still enjoyed our meal. Booths are comfortable but a little tight if you have more than 4 adults. We were a party of 5 and will request a round table next time.

Overall we enjoyed and appreciated the music , the creativity of the artwork and seating arrangements . It is definitely a place to consider going for a date night. The servers and owners were extremely welcoming and eager to assist, even with the bottle of wine to consider. The food is average for bar food .
