    My husband and I visited for an impromptu lunch date on 1/27/2025 around 12pm. The cuts of meat I tried were all excellent except for the lamb, but I’m not a huge fan of it in general. The best part was our server, Chris. It looked like he was the only server working, but he still took time to check on every table and remember my special requests and our drink order.

    Service was very slow. Had to ask several times for different types of meats and waited. 30 minutes.

    We had a table for 2 in a quiet area but a large party was soon seated next to us who were obnoxiously loud. So much so that we couldn’t carry on a conversation. We were seated in the corner and were pretty much forgotten about. They didn’t bring the side dishes until the end of our meal. Food was good but service was poor.

    The restaurant serves many large parties. The arrival of large groups -- a relatively frequent occurrence -- can overwhelm the small waiting area. The area is understaffed, so the restaurant's first impression is not positive.

    I’ve been here a few times, and each time just I’m reminded why I should not come back. Service was OK, nothing special but not bad. Food in my opinion is subpar. I keep wishing they will get better, as I like this location and Brazilian BBQ. I favorite has always been the first at Churrascaria in NYC. Salad bar is kind of small with fewer selection compared even just to local rivalry Texas de Brazil.
