Great selection of meats, and the salad bar is plentiful and really tasty. Prices are fair and reasonable. I’d recommend this spot even for a date — the service is excellent with nothing to complain about.

It’s been about 5 years or so since I last been here. The side dishes have changed but the steaks have not. The service remains the same. Very hospitable.

The salad selection was great! The service was exceptional. Drinks were on point. The big let down was the meats. They were dry and salty. We had reservations for 5:30pm it felt like we were served the left overs from lunch. The fresh meats starting coming out around 6:45pm. Try going at that time.

My kids took me here for Mothers Day 2025. I was surprised and excited. I’ve been to the one in San Mateo and loved it. But I was so disappointed. We were a party of 9, No one came to our table for at least 30 minutes. The carvers never came to our table until I complained about it. And there was one in particular that seemed like he refused to come to our table. The supervisor of the carvers came to our table and apologized and he made sure the carvers made it to our table. But that only lasted for a little while. I hate when people make it always about ethnicity, but in this case I definitely felt like that was the issue. Should have stuck to the San Mateo establishment

It’s worth going! All the food is delicious and fresh. The picañana was one of my favorite meats, and the passion fruit mojito is a hit among the drinks.

Think mass level cruise cuisine.
Quality is adequate. Culture diversity in name only. IE: Paella,
Seafood and other proteins flavorless and a rubber like consistency.
Service was waiters in a factory like Assembly line of meats and chicken. In the 90 min I attended A holiday party chicken entrees
We’re presented in a 3 to 1 ratio To meats. I personally requested ribs 3X after their 1 brief appearance. Was told they would
Advise and have them brought.
Never happened.
In conclusion, good place for quantity., The culture aspect iis
Completely homogenized and Chain like. (Maybe should be
Called Brazilian Sizzler).

I wish I could’ve taken better pictures, but I really enjoy this Brazilian steakhouse. I’ve been here twice, and both times I’ve been satisfied with the food. The experience is worth the $70 for such high quality meats! The side dishes are also good, but try not to go to over board since you’re mostly paying for the fancy meats. I had to learn that the hard way the first time. Definitely a yummy and filling dinner!

Visited after a short tour of Alcatraz. We did a an early dinner and it was a quick trip with the local line and perfectly accessible. They had a special summer offering which discounted the meal but the experience was phenomenal. We received attentive service and the food was well cooked and quality. We had visited a handful of Brazilian steakhouses from different states and this one left an impression!

The experience was strange, first I was served by a table then we ended up with another waiter, and very little attention. The meats were short, I think it wasn’t enough, there were no seafood. I once went to Napa from the same chain and excellent service. Here they fell short. I would come back maybe not, I have a bad taste in my mouth.

Delicious, lots of options of savory bead fresh off the vertical rotisserie they slice off for you. Also, the buffet for non-meat items was full of great options like fried bananas and fresh fruit and vegetables. Whatever that cheese bread is called that they drop off for you is amazing.
