Fodor's Review:

Gaucho-clad servers parade through the dining room brandishing carved-to-order skewered and grilled meats in this all-you-can-eat Brazilian churrascaria. Diners warm up with a trip to the lavish salad bar. Then, using a plate-side chip, signal green for "go" to bring on lamb, pork loin, ribs, and several beef cuts, stopped only by flipping the chip to red. You can restart as often as you like. If that's not enough, there are starchy sides and dessert flans included in the $48.50 price as well; only drinks are extra. Compared to traditional steak houses, this carnivorous all-inclusive feast is a bargain. Go on a busy night (Thursday, Friday, or Saturday) to ensure the meat's tender—not dried out from reheating.
