   Absolutely the best. Delicious food, terrific wait staff, and they are extremely open and accommodating about allergens. One of my all time favorite restaurants.

   It's been a while since I've been here. The steak is how I remember it (mouthwateringly delicious), but the prices have nearly doubled. At nearly $70 per plate, it is no longer the value it once was. Also, though our server was attentive to start, once he found out we were not ordering any mixed drinks, I don't think we saw him again. As the area filled in, he was either overworked or missing servers. In fact, his attention was very much focused on the large groups he was given. Once our table was entirely clear, even with the water glasses gone, we still waited 10-15 minutes to get our check. Which I had to ask one of the other servers to get! Not sure we'll be back. It is just not worth the price now. Not that they'll miss it, it was packed in there on a Monday night.

   The food was great, but service could not keep up with the crowd. We made reservations for 7PM, but had to wait about 20 minutes to get our seat. I have been here during less busy hours and service was exemplary, by comparison, the most recent visit was lacking. Meats were not making the rounds and we had periods where nothing was on our plates and we were left wanting. I get you have busy periods, but more staff was required. Please come during non prime time hours to get the best experience.

   Overall pretty good , however not sure if we received our moneys worth…. Our table of two was mainly offered bacon wrapped chicken, chicken wings and picanha. Although very delicious I would’ve liked for the fancier meats, like the filet mignon to have came around more. We were offered filet just once during our 1.5hr visit…. At that the piece I was given was quite small and well done temp. The menu on the website listed many more meats than we were offered.Salad bar was good but kinda feel like we got full off that and chicken and not so much steak. We visited to celebrate a birthday, I heard good reviews online and wanted a charming intimate dinner experience. The dining area was filled with little children. I was ran into by 3 kids on my way to the restroom. Kids were walking around even came up to our table. We received a complimentary dessert which was nice. Still would’ve liked to have been served more steak….for this being our first time visiting we weren’t really impressed..

    Great food! Way better attentive service than Fogo Rosemont. Will go back even though it’s 45 minutes away from us.
