    Our server was great (Jose A). The staff that made the table-side guacamole NEVER engaged with us. We would have made different decisions if she had (i.e., fewer onions, more jalapeño). Disappointing.

    We had a rough travel day and the restaurant was able to flex a bit to still accommodate us which saved the day of an extended family trip. The servers were excellent and the food very good. They also got us out in time for a show we had booked. Would definitely go there next time we are in town.

    From the beginning we reserved a table and we greeted upon entrance. We were given a table timer for when our table was ready. We let our waitress know early we were there for the best of Brazilian $39 discount night and they were very attentive to our needs. We enjoyed the salad bar and we both had happy hour $10 drinks. Those were both very delicious. Then we were greeted by different servers of rounds of meats our favorite being the Pichana a must try.  the manager, actually came over and greeted us and gave us small talk along with our waitress who was kind enough to find our favorite dessert on the menu, to end the night on the house. Will most definitely be coming back!

    The chicken Parmesan, bread and lasagna were quite tasty. I’d definitely recommend this place. The service could have been better like providing suggestions and discussing menu items. It would also have been better if the server would stop to check rather than me continuously asking for things like cutlery, pepper, refills etc.
