My last similar meal was at Texas de Brazil Irvine, CA, which I gave a 3 – no comparison, imho.
The salad bar is very decent and can be stand alone or with the meal. The veggies are fresh. Papaya is tender and juicy. I didn’t try the cold cuts but they look pretty.
They provided 3 small plates to the table: parmesan cheese puff, polenta fritter and caramelized banana. The last two are yummy. Didn’t try the puff.
The endless meats come/leave fast (would prefer slower pace, not feeling rushed) … most of photos are blurry – of course my skill isn’t top notch either. One server did ask if I got the photo, I said yes even I didn’t – don’t want to break their rhythms or flows.
Beef of various cuts, pork, lamb, chicken, sausage, shrimp, etc. I like the lamb chop and beef ribs the most.
The bathroom is no frill and clean … but the hook is so high – at the top of the door, even with my high heels I can’t reach. What are they thinking?!
