We had a wonderful time celebrating our friends birthday. The staff went above and beyond accommodating us and what a great ending with a happy birthday celebration of the waiters singing to our friend. Thank you for having us we will be back.

Poor service. waited to get seated and then waiting for anyone to wait on us. Not once did any of the employees acknowledge us as we sat waiting for a server.

Truly an experience that I will never forget. But not in the way that you are probably thinking. This evening had me questioning whether it was a fever dream or a nightmare. Finding parking near the restaurant was the first challenge as finding a spot that was within 5 blocks is nearly impossible. I have listed some of my concerns and experiences from the night below: We ordered our drinks and waited more than 20-25 minutes before we even saw the waiter again. At one point I went up to the bar to ask for my drinks again and still had to wait another 10 minutes to get 2 waters. (30-35 minute wait in total) For some reasons, every person that I interacted with spoke with a condescending tone and avoided interactions with our table for the vast majority of the night. We were in no sense asking for a complex request (Our only request was water) The meat was raw. While I understand that some people enjoy a rare steak and that is fine; however, the meat was cold and completely inedible. This occurred on several occasions and regardless of requests for something cooked a bit longer, every item that was brought seemed to still moo as if it were still alive. The wait. If you are expecting an experience that is similar to a Fogo de Chao or Texas De Brazil, you are mistaken. We received meat maybe once in a 20-30 minute span, what we received was undercooked, and portions are sparse to say the least. Throughout the 2 hour night, we were fully ignored/avoided on 4 seperate occasions. The buffet options. If you enjoy undressed “caesar” salad, cold fries, or vegetables that have sitting in a mystery liquid for hours, then this is your spot. Otherwise, I would recommend avoiding the buffet all together and sticking to the seldomly seen selection of undercooked picanha or chicken thighs. While I wish that I could say that the dinner ended up on a high note, I cannot. The waiter ended up spilling his water pitcher on me and continued to avoid any attempt for our check or water.

Julia, the lady in pink. the man with the beard, the man with the glasses, (apologies for not remembering your names, but want to know you were greatly appreciated) and the Gauchos made for a WONDERFUL experience. The food was absolutely delicious, it was well seasoned, fresh, and the proper temperature. The foods offered, oh my!!! The sirloin, sausages, chicken, lamb, etc. Really loved each had their own distinct flavor. The salad bar was so amazing. I was afraid I was going to fill up on the seafood salad, rice and beans, the okra dish, and the other offerings. And don't forget the Caipirinhas, and dessert!! Valet parking, an added plus!! We live in Mercer County but will return to the Newark location very very soon!!!!

This was one of the best eating experiences I've ever had. The quality of the meat, the side dishes and the friendliness of the staff makes this great... but a personal touch by the head chef who personally delivered one of the best bites of the day (queijo coalho with honey) makes this a special place. If you're within 100 miles of this place, you must visit.

Food and service was very good. Always coming around with different meats. The only complaint we had is they don't expect Visa gift cards. Also paid $120 cash for a $114.08 bill and only got $4.75 charge. Don't care to be robbed at a restaurant. Don't know if it was done on purpose for extra tip or they don't know how to make change. Just recommend if paying in cash give exact change. They would have gotten an extra tip besides the gratuity they automatically take out, but I just wasn't feeling generous after not receiving correct change.

First time there. Went with 5 friends, we sat for a long time. Enjoyed it very much. I live 40 plus miles away so it's difficult to get there often in the future But will certainly for special events

The restaurant was closed due to health and safety concerns. But no one informed the guests who had already made reservations. We drove for an hour only to see empty rooms and roads being repaired. Very bad experience.

Made a reservation only to find this establishment closed when we arrived. This should be removed from Opentable.
