   Food delicious. Service appalling. Seated, and then ignored for over 15 minutes - it wasn't busy. Waitress arrived who had no idea about what was available to order. Had to wait for a senior member of staff to provide menus and take our drinks order. Cocktails then took 30 minutes to arrive, by which time we had passed starters and wre eating our main courses. Special requirements stated when we booked were completely ignored - what was the point of asking? Great food but a complete shambles for a meal and nice night out. Won’t book again.

   I booked for our Christmas Brunch meal weeks ago and when we arrived they had said they had changed the meal and the deal was no longer available. When we placed our booking i selected which meal we wanted and i selected the bottomless brunch. The staff kept saying if you ordered that meal it would say on your booking. I was not advised the meal had changed so we had to negotiate for a deal to be offered, as we had budgeted for the Bottomless brunch which included unlimited drinks to be told we would get one free drink for free. The service was appalling we sat waiting for the meat to arrive and was mostly offered sausages and had to keep asking where our drinks were as we had waited ages for them to arrive. In the end we had enough and asked for the bill. All the staff who attended complained and said their Christmas meal experience was a shamble and were very disappointed.

   Food was okay, but there wasn't the amount of choice we usually get. It wasn't made clear properly that they are already operating their Christmas menu, but if so, several of the listed meat types were never offered. Also the bill was confusing as there was nothing to tell us what the flat rate was for the Christmas menu. We received the wrong drinks at one point, despite showing the server the empty bottle from the first round. Most frustrating, though, was the fact that a bowl of very tasty fries, apparently now an automatic accompaniment to the menu, appeared on our table just at the point we had decided we were full. So, despite being really nice, they were largely wasted. Had they been delivered when we started eating, we would definitely have got through most of them. We decided to reduce the service charge because of these problems, but the server didn't seem able to comprehend what we were trying to do, so we ended up telling her to remove it altogether since that seemed to be the only option she could do.

   Won't be going again. Food advertised on the menu did not come out freely. Lots of steak but the others meats had to be requested several times and still we had to wait until a staff member chased it again. Had much better at other similar establishments. Very overpriced and poor service.

   Me and my husband use to enjoy going In recent times the quality of food and customer service as gone down hill rapidly. We thought we would give them another chance. Never again this was the biggest waste of money out. We paid for evening and would expect to be offered a choice of 15 cuts of meat as advertised. This was never the case and clearly what they did offer was done to maximise profit margins. We didn't even get 8 offered that would be offered in the afternoon .Instead we was just ignored by the servers who seemed clueless in there approach. What we was offered was fatty and laced with salt. On the plus side we know that nothing can be worse then this and will stick to Fazenda in future. Avoid this place like you would chernobyl.

   not the best experience. the waiter shouted at me when i asked for the chicken to come to our table too. however, i understand that he could've had a bad day. but when we left, the manager apologised and said he'll send a voucher, which after one week hasn't arrived yet. although it was not necessary, promising and not delivering feels like dishonesty.
