   We had to wait 1+hr to be seated with our reservation. What's the purpose of making a reservation if they are not going to honor it? They clearly overbooked on purpose.

   The food quality was exceptional. We decided to give this place a try for Thanksgiving, but it was far too crowded, and even with a reservation, the wait to be seated was excessively long.

   Salad bar was plentiful with a large variety of salad, veggies, cheeses, and salami/salmon options. Main meat course was a little bit lacking - most beef options are very salty. Seems like they offered garlic steak the most which was actually pretty tasty. Filet mignon came once and and was only available cooked Medium so it was kind of dry. I did not try the lamb (I’m not a fan of lamb) but others at the table said it was good. Accidentally got the mineral water ($8) instead of tap water which bummed me out.

   We had the Markettable buffet. It was great. Make sure to get the cheese rolls, polenta sticks, plantain s, and mashed potatoes that are included so you have the warm sides. I especially enjoyed the soup this time as well.

   Terrible service. Takes forever for meats to come out. Basically eating at the salad bar for the price you pay.

   We visited for the $44 best of Brazil special. We had visited before and enjoyed. Servers were greatand food were delicious, but the hostesses were terrible. We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation, and at 15 minutes past I asked what the ETA on our table was. One of the hostesses told me she 'had no idea when a table would be ready for us'. Obviously frustrating, because that is their job and the way she said it was pretty rude. We were somehow sitting 2 minutes later. We enjoyed the food. But won't be back because of that. Too many options to fail common courtesy to your diners when you walk in.

   Great food, just a little long for the skewers of food to come by our table. We had party of 17 so we had a table in the back. Wish the food came by sooner, we ended up being there almost 4 hours! The food were great though!!❤️

    So disappointed! Food was mediocre at best… all staff going around serving meat were so unfriendly and didn’t care for the grease dripping from the meat on skewers! Got drops of grease on my clothes! Every time they served meat, I said “thank you” and not a single staff even bother to respond! Definitely will not go back!
