    My husband and I went last night and had an excellent dining experience. It was our first time at Terra Gaucha and we are already planning a day to go back and bring more of our family. It was excellent. All team members were personable and all friendly. Our primary server, Marco, was fantastic and very attentive! The manager was very kind and rounded to the tables to check how the meal was going for each table. All servers were kind and polite. The meat was tender and delicious. We felt like Terra Gaucha had a better variety than other Brazilian steakhouses we’ve been to and our plates were full after being seated maybe 15 minutes, including - trip to the salad bar. The meat was consistently delicious and the time the meat rounded was consistently quick as well. Even during a busy Sunday night service, parking was still available and a much easier parking lot to get in and out of. We have always gone to Fogo, another Brazilian steakhouse in the Indy area, for our special date nights but had noticed our experiences were starting to become less enjoyable at Fogo. My husband told me in the first 30 minutes of dining that he feels this is our new special date night spot. Thank you Terra Gaucha for such a great dining experience!

    Our dinner and drinks were outstanding. I had the fried chicken and my husband had the ribs. The portion sizes were just right. We both had the Daisy Mae tequila drink and shared the Banana Creme Brulee. Highly recommend!

    Food, drinks and service were excellent. I said 4 stars for value because it was pricey to add steak to my salad and I just got 2 little bits of steak. I thought for the price, it should have been more. A large cut, properly cooked and sliced and placed on the salad would have been a better value and experience to eat. Everything else was good!
