    It’s my 4th time here and it’s always a fantastic experience. Each experience is better than the last. Waiters, servers and hostesses are so kind and accommodating. The food is fantastic. Best salad bar!

    Very good. I like very rare. So the meat is excellent, cooked the way I like it. But it’s very expensive. The base is $75/person. Wine, corkage fee($25/bottle), water, and dessert are extra. So before tip, $100 person, including tip figure $120/person.

    Our family of 7 had a fantastic time celebrating our son’s 37th birthday! All the people that work at this restaurant went out of their way to make sure it was a very special evening! Everyone was so fun, attentive and kind…Really the best dining experience we have had in ages! The food was wonderful and the servers came around constantly checking in on us, asking if we needed anything else, laughing and joking with us.. such a fun and memorable birthday celebration!🥳

    Having so many options for our Gluten-Free daughter made this celebratory dinner fantastic from the moment we walked in. It’s hard to find places where we can all eat without being pretty limited. Everyone was so kind and friendly! The food was delicious!

    Great place for a date night or special occasion! The servers were friendly, attentive, and extremely engaging with us and knowing we spoke Portuguese, they all communicate with us in Portuguese/Brazilian. The meat selections we tried were all delicious and the salad bar was one of the best we’ve had; everything was so fresh. I highly recommend Galpão Gaucho in Walnut Creek and we’ll be returning!

    Everything was great except for one item. The ribeye for some reason was on the tough side. It didn’t used to be. I’m not sure if they down graded the ribeye or not but I hope it goes back to the way it was.

    This is an average to poor restaurant. It’s not really a Brazilian steakhouse. It’s an American’Brazliian steakhouse. The meat is average, all comes at once, and is cold before you can eat it. I wouldn’t go again. And won’t.
