We had the pleasure of celebrating Christmas dinner at this establishment, and the experience was truly exceptional. Every detail was thoughtfully executed—from the quality of the meal to the desserts—and the service provided by the staff was attentive, courteous, and professional throughout the evening.
I would also like to extend special recognition to Tracy, the marketing manager, who was an absolute pleasure to work with while coordinating our large family gathering. What initially began as a party of 30 ultimately concluded with 21 guests, and throughout the planning process, Tracy was accommodating, responsive, and exceptionally easy to work with. Her professionalism and flexibility made the entire experience seamless and stress-free.
We returned a few weeks later with friends and were once again impressed by the consistency in both service and quality. This is a venue that clearly takes pride in delivering an outstanding dining experience. I would highly recommend it for special occasions as well as everyday dining, and we look forward to returning again.

Many restaurants have decent food that one would come back for. The food and atmosphere were really good. However, the service from Tyler and the rest of the staff is why we’ll be back. They were extremely attentive meeting all our wants. I highly recommend him if you’d like exceptional service.

From the moment we walked in, the service was honestly what stood out the most. The hosts greeted us right away, got us seated quickly (we made a reservation definitely recommend doing that), and the entire staff was just… genuinely kind. Not fake nice. Not rushed. Just attentive, polite, and on top of everything without hovering. Our server checked in at the perfect times, explained how everything worked, and made sure our drinks were always full. Even the gauchos coming around with the meats were friendly and happy to answer questions.
The food? Really good. The Market Table had so many fresh options crisp salads, cheeses, charcuterie, and sides that didn’t feel like an afterthought. But obviously the star of the show is the meat. Every cut that came around was flavorful and cooked right. The picanha was probably my favorite juicy, seasoned perfectly, and sliced right at the table. It felt like one of those meals where you slow down and actually enjoy it instead of just eating to eat.
The whole experience just felt elevated. The atmosphere is warm and classy without being stuffy. It’s the kind of place where you can dress up a little and make it a real night out. Perfect for a date night, anniversary, or even just treating yourself when you want something nicer. You can easily spend a couple of hours there just talking and enjoying everything.
Overall, one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Virginia Beach. Great food, but even better service and that’s what really makes a place memorable. If you’re thinking about going, make the reservation. You won’t regret it.

I made a reservation for 3 to take my kids out for their birthdays. There was hardly any wait for the table. We went during the brunch/lunch hour so the dress code was more relaxed, think jeans with a shirt, no sweats. The service was good but with a lull in-between. Kudos to Elizabeth, Shania, Jordan, Noah and Brianna. There were plenty of vegetarian options on the market buffet along with smoked salmon. During brunch there’s an omelette station, Belgian waffles and braised beef hash which I really enjoyed. I don’t eat meat but there really wasn’t a lot in there. I had the Chilean sea bass which took about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, I had to send it back due to its have an off putting taste. Just my palate, I’m sure, no fault of the restaurant. I ordered the jumbo shrimp cocktail instead which I had grilled and it was exceptional. The kids really enjoyed the full Churrasco which comes with market buffet. All in all a great and highly recommended. They also have happy hour all day, everyday!!! I’ll definitely return for that!

My husband and I had such an amazing time for our anniversary.. We had a 5:30 reservations and we were seated quickly, addressed quickly, as well as served quickly. This was a wonderful addition to our anniversary of 15 years. We receive remarkable service from Tyler, Jorge, and James. Overall, we had an excellent experience for our first time.

Ok. Finally hit this highly recommended Brazilian steakhouse on a Saturday afternoon. New place in VB Towncenter meant the reservation was three weeks out. But so be it, fair enough.
Got there at 4:15, and were sat immediately. Market buffet had a great variety and everything was fresh and restocked regularly.
Service was great. Ari was our main server and was super kind, professional and attentive as was so many others that supported the table. The attention and genuine service provided by not only Ari, but Kamari, Ayla and so many more and even the gauchos like Christian made a great impression.
Lamb chops took a little long to come out but the sausage and picanha AND the flank were so delicious. Garlic mashed potatoes and Pão de queijo were especially tasty. Probably had those filled threes time! Diet Coke hit the spot and the creme brûlée cheesecake were a great way to end the meal.

My first time, and this was a wonderful experience. The customer service was definitely a 10 out 10. My waiter Jorge was wonderful. Just know that Happy hr for food starts at 6pm until close and you need reservations even for happy hr. I enjoyed the atmosphere, and food was delicious lamb, spinach dip and choc cake. You have to at least treat yourself at least one time if you have never been. I will definitely return.
