    There were never 18 types of meat available at the most there were nine. At one point and the worst part of the experience besides all the meat being dry except for the pork ribs and the salmon was when I went to get some soup it was barely warm I told the server because he asked if he could clear the dish I said the soup Was barely warm he returned shortly after and said no the soup is hot and walked away. He could’ve offered to bring me another bowl and the fact that he insinuated that I was lying when I didn’t say anything about all the meat being dry and I didn’t mention anything else made me feel horrible This created a terrible feeling and I would never return and never recommend.

    I had the absolute best dining experience , From the moment I walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make the evening special. The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented, and every recommendation made by our server was spot on. It’s rare to find a place where both the service and the cuisine exceed expectations, but this restaurant truly delivers. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience!”

    Love this new place. Will bookmark this for future reservation. Lot better than Fogo or Texas. The Picanha was frequently rounding unlike Fogo of recent. Service was great. Want here NYE and hoping the service is the same as any other night. We shall see. Overall would definitely return!

    Service and food were outstanding. Out of the 4 Brazilian steakhouses I’ve been to, this is up for first or second favorite.

    Great place to take the family with lots of food options. The team is very helpful, friendly and supportive. Great food! Our favorites are the grilled cheese with honey and the beef ribs.

    Seems like they squeezed in a lot of tables. When everyone was walking around, it was a maze to get to the salad bar. For all the staff walking around it was hard to get an ice tea refill though. Lol. Other than those 3 little things, the meat was good, salad bar fun and staff was nice!

    It’s way overpriced at $75 per person for dinner. The old Agora had more items at the bar and meat quality was same if not better. You can go to Fogo or Texas de Brazil for cheaper and at least same quality food.
