    The new owner is a great guy who personally thanked us for coming in. The place isn’t as fancy as some of its competitors, but it made for a great lunch in a newly renovated space.

    Before we went to restaurant week did hit some traffic so I was trying to call insuring we were on our way. Right as I dialed, it went to voicemail. I found this a little unprofessional because I feel that they should have answered. The service was not the best and I felt that the quality of the food was also not the best. The service was a little slow and not as attentive. We attended for restaurant week and we kind of regret and wish we went with something different.

    We tried Picanha for Philly restaurant week and enjoyed the $40 three course meal. The food was good. Highlight was the tres leches. Service was slow and our table was skipped several times by the meat servers who seemed to prioritize bigger tables. Our drinks also took a long time to come out and I noticed a few customers who came after us received drinks before us and more frequent service. The staff did comp us the drinks which we appreciated it. For the $40 deal it wasn’t bad, service could be improved, and would come back for the tres leches!

    Lovely experience eating at this restaurant last night. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Picanha, grilled pineapple, and sirloin. We even got a chance to meet the friendly and gracious owner I forgot his name but he came around and gave us all shots on the house, which is always a good time. Will definitely be dining here again.

    Last years restaurant week was way better than this years. The meats took forever to come out and by the time they got to your table it was nothing left and the sides were horrible. Won’t be back.

    The ambience was nice. The place was quiet you able to have a conversation. The food was hot. The only problem I had was it could’ve been season better but everything else was popping.

    Food was excellent. The buffet was so complete that you didn't even need the meat, but of course, the meat is what brought us to the restaurant in the first place. The staff were friendly and eager to help. Bring your appetite as the food is quite plentiful.

    Now know as Samba Steakhouse. The food was delicious and flavorful. The staff were attentive, friendly and accommodating. We had an amazing time, the place was clean and welcoming. We also had the pleasure of meeting the new owner and he was fantastic. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!
