    Our experience at Texas de Brazil was perfect. Very clean, buffet well displayed, did not realize that you could order your meats the way you prefer the temperatures which was great. Everything was served, medium rare for me and my wife and all tasted outstanding. High level of attention to our table in what we wanted, however the restaurant was not very busy

    The one thing that took away from the experience was the music. Given the elegant setting, I was expecting something sophisticated and subtle to match the atmosphere. Instead, the playlist felt oddly out of place especially with their spotify ads, making it feel more like an average restaurant than the high-end experience it aimed to be. It was distracting, and at times with the noise level, even made it difficult to immerse myself fully in the atmosphere. If they reconsider the music selection to better align with their otherwise upscale vibe, this place would be flawless.
