   Teething problems. Drinks were late and not properly mixed. Waitress was very pleasant. The Tyson's Virginia location is excellent and much preferred over The Wharf one.

   I feel we had to ask for what we wanted and they didn’t stop at your table often. I didn’t see the entire selection so I missed out trying some of the meats. Joined the rewards program was told they are new so it doesn’t really do anything but send out special for bdays etc

   Maybe it’s the new staff. our experience was — meh. Never could get a waiter to refill our drink, even water. Leave me a bottle on my table, and I’ll do it myself. When we decided we were done, we waited almost 15 minutes and could never find or flag down our table person. Finally, we had to find the manager at a register and ask for the bill. Then we had to wait 10 min more for someone to come take the cards and run them. That means that we couldn’t find someone for almost a solid 30 min. That’s not to say the staff wasn’t attentive. We had meat people still coming by the table every 90 seconds, but someone who could get more water or let us pay our bill—very invisible. The food is solid but not that amazing. We got out for $330 for 3 of us. Which is good enough I guess for an all you can eat meat buffet brought to your table.

   Reserved for a surprise birthday celebration for my wife. Came in day of to finalize the details everything seemed perfect. Once the guest arrived for dinner they were told the reservation had been cancelled and was never seated. Once I arrived with my wife (surprise now ruined because everyone is in front of the restaurant 😔), I had to some what argue with the staff to get everyone seated. The staff seemed to have no knowledge of any of the details to the party and I was extremely disappointed.

   The dining room experience was lovely. Our server was attentive but not hovering. The customer service manager made sure the experience was a delight. The bar team leaves a lot to be desired but I’m sure with time they’ll work out their kinks. The espresso martinis are perfect.

   FOOD WAS VERY TASTY. SERVICE WAS A LITTLE TO BE DESIRED. I THINK OUR WAITER WAS OVERWHELMED WITH HAVING TO SERVE OTHER TABLES.

   Eating here is an experience, not just a fabulous meal. So many choices for the starters that it was hard to control trying everything. I highly recommend trying foods you have not tried before as there are so many Brazilian options you will not find in other restaurants. I recommend any of the meats and take it slow. They come around and bring more meat as often as you want it. The cocktails and mocktails were lovely. I enjoyed the pineapple old fashioned; my friends enjoyed the mocktail martini and the blood orange martini. We had the Brazilian chocolate cake which is called the brigadiero. It's so very chocolatey but more sweet than dark chocolate.
