Very good food and good wine list. Friendly, attentive and efficient service. Comfortable ambience.

Valentine’s Day 2025. I had the good sense to make a reservation weeks earlier to actually get a table! Food - Amazing. Drinks - Fantastic. Service - Top Notch - and the BEST part is I made a special request that I didn’t think would be noticed in the online reservation, but it WAS, and she was very pleasantly surprised! We got looks of envy from the surrounding tables. I would and probably will go back again year after year now. This was an amazing guest experience. Did I mention the food is amazing? 🦾

Amazing Experience at Texas de Brazil! Texas de Brazil is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of upscale elegance and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. The service is top-notch—attentive, friendly, and always making sure you have everything you need. And the food? Absolutely incredible! The salad bar is fresh, diverse, and packed with delicious options, but the real star of the show is the endless parade of perfectly seasoned, expertly grilled meats. Each cut is juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Whether you love filet mignon, lamb chops, picanha, or Brazilian sausages, there’s something for everyone. The experience feels indulgent yet refined, making it perfect for special occasions, date nights, or simply treating yourself to a fantastic meal. If you’re a fan of quality meats and exceptional service, Texas de Brazil is a must-visit. Can’t wait to go back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our food was delicious, fresh, generous portions. We had roasted half chicken and avocado toast. We both asked for substitutions/add-ons which were accommodated. I was offered an alternative add-on because the one I initially requested was seasonal. Drinks and desserts were also good regarding taste and serving size. Our waiter was very pleasant and regularly checked on us without being intrusive. The manager also stopped by our table and other customers to check that everything was ok. It’s a diner, so noise levels are what one might expect, but we could easily converse without raising our voices. It has a retro diner vibe with posters/photos/vinyl of iconic performers at Carnegie Hall (original diner in New York is near the concert hall). It’s becoming a favorite neighborhood spot so it’s always busy and the one negative is that parking in this popular local shopping center is relatively limited so it can be hard to find a space during peak hours.

Very busy night on V-Day. We had reservations, but did need to wait a few minutes which was expected. Once sat down, we were greeted promptly got our drinks in and oysters. Our food and drinks were wonderful from beginning to end, but service was admittedly slow at first between the oysters and ordering our entrees. This couldn’t be helped, however, as they were packed so not docking points for a packed room on a holiday. We ended up getting our dessert to go, which we ate later and was great. Overall, a nice dinner for a special occasion as the service did take care of us with leftovers and getting things. Although pricey, you can’t deny the quality control of the food and service being top notch.
