   Great overall experience. The salad bar and meats were fresh and tasty.

   There was no lamb chops offered. Would’ve like more vegetables, there were only bacon wrapped chicken and chick legs and sirloin for the steak options.

   To preface - why I gave my rating for 4 stars overall and 3 stars for service (even though below I’m going to rave about my experience) is that it was pretty alarming that two of the of the servers I came across didn’t know if one the bar bites they were serving was made of fish or seafood. I’m not deathly allergic, but I cannot eat it because I get sick and have some minor allergic reactions that makes me down for the count. The server passing it out shrugged his shoulders when I asked him in English & Spanish, (yes I know it’s a Brazilian restaurant and Brazil speaks Portuguese but figured to try it because my friend’s BF and his friends are from Brazil and they’re very proficient in Spanish) he just looks at me blankly after I persistently said I can’t eat it AND STILL proceeds to put it on my plate with my other food. Like what?! Lmao, my brother in Christ- why? The table next to me did a general google search & the search said it is typically made with anchovies. A manager did get back to me that nothing was made with fish. Next time for an event, they should ask in the beginning if there’s any food allergies so people can tell the manager and maybe have a sign/paper on the table to show there’s a food allergy/food intolerance. HOWEVER, the manager was very cool, very nice and so were the rest of the staff! I really enjoyed the event as everything tasted incredibly delicious, was hot and fresh and was in abundance! I will be back again in general to dine/drink and for their upcoming events!!!

   Renato and his team of Gaucho Chefs all took very good care of us, meats were served at correct temperature and service was prompt. Ill be here many more times.

   I went in to have some good food. Well my husband and I got the full market and meat experience, so that included the breakfast that they make on Sundays. I went towards the omelet station and the employee was on her phone talking and talking. It took her a bit to give me attention. After that I told her I wanted an omelet and she said she'd take it to me when it was done. I said OK and went to take my seat. It took her a while to bring it to me and when she did.. it didn't even have the ingredients I wanted in it. When we were done and ready to pay, I told the waiter I had a reward and he told me he didn't know how those rewards worked. He went to get a manager and let me tell you.... he didn't know either. So basically I couldn't use my reward and the food wasn't even that good. So I do not recommend this place.

   Starting from walking through the door. Door very loudly slammed shut behind us. Great start. Checked in with host and were seated. Table was located beside the salad bar, not a good location as the staff seemed to just hang around our table and stare on their downtime. My wife and I ordered our drinks, she got hers rather quickly while I waited for mine pretty much half of the time we were there. Swords didn’t come by for about 15-20 minutes even though we were green. Overall the food was great in my opinion. Albeit, I only had meat. My wife on the other hand, mentioned the salad bar was sub par. Might be a rough critic but in my opinion for a restaurant that charges that much and is seemingly all customer attention related. It’s EH, we’ve been to much better in the chicago area.
