    The wait staff was very attentive All of the service was prompt and friendly. Getting drinks, the service was too slow. The food was well seasoned and delicious. One of our party is vegetarian, his experience was very complimentary. The hot bar and salad bar was well stocked and very good.

    Went for son's birthday on a Saturday night. It was very busy and hopping so take my words lightly. The food is pretty good and for the price definitely worth it. the carvers were very busy. We didn't get visited by the good stuff very often. But it's a Sat night so we get it. The only thing that was meh was the service. Subpar at best.

    Great bar experience, however, because of the attendance, was not held actually in the bar, but in a back room. Social sitting, so not private tables, not a problem, actually had fun with the people at my table, however just something to note.

    The meat from the churrasco was fantastic. Cooked to perfection no matter the cut. Nice selection of salads to go with and a very extensive wine selection

    Food was great and our server silvia was awesome. the only bad thing about our night was the location of our table. they say us right by the kitchen door and there was a lot of people walking by us. not to mention that one of the servers hit me in the head with a chair. this almost ruined the whole night

    One of the only things I would have offered is some sort of side to go in harmony with all the meats. Something like mashed potatoes or some normal side with steak or a large amount of meat.
