I had never been to this restaurant before and had planned a surprise, special dinner for my husband on our anniversary. Zoes Steak and Seafood blew it out of the park for us with their service, food, and overall experience. I’m not one to write reviews, but they were too outstanding to not. Planning something for your loved one? They got you covered and highly recommend them.

Both Open Table and our server asked if there was a “special occasion “ for our visit. It was our anniversary and we let OT know and our server at William and Henry. They did nothing for us. That’s okay but maybe don’t ask if you don’t do a dessert or something like other restaurants you compete with.

Glen Allen

About the restaurant

Rio Brazil Steakhouse set on the outskirts of Richmond and Glen Allen.
A Brazilian steakhouse, commonly known as a "churrascaria," is a dining establishment that specializes in the traditional Brazilian barbecue style of cooking meat. These restaurants are renowned for their "rodízio" service, where a variety of skewered meats, such as beef, pork, lamb, and chicken, are slow-cooked over an open flame.
Our Customers experiences a continuous tableside service where servers, known as "gauchos," carve the meats directly onto the diners' plates. The rodízio style allows patrons to enjoy a wide selection of meats until they are satisfied, with the serving process continuing until they signal for it to stop.
In addition to the succulent meats, Brazilian steakhouses often offer an expansive salad bar with a variety of fresh vegetables, cheeses, and side dishes to complement the main courses offering a unique and popular dining experience.

The staff are ALL awesome! The greeters actually reviewed our request and arranged it! Everyone is so helpful, even top leaders checked on people to ensure the dining experience is grand . But Jenna, yes Jenna, is amazing! Our fourth time here and she is always our host(server) - we ask to be seated in her area and she does not disappoint. We have adopted her. The food, as always, is scrumptious, well seasoned, and served timely. The spices and seasonings are amazing adding to our experience! We enjoy the variety of flavors and dishes - my taste buds are in heaven! We dine here twice a year ( 2+ hour drive) and are never disappointed! Planning our next visit already ~~~ Thank you Jenna and all the staff for making us feel like part of the family!
