What makes it special: Endless tableside-carved prime cuts and A5 Wagyu in an upscale Brazilian rodizio setting.
Who should go: Meat-loving couples celebrating or splurging with friends.
When to visit: Weekend evenings for peak energy; brunch for a slower date.
What to order: Pão de queijo, classic picanha, garlic beef with salad bar.
Insider tip: Plan a later reservation and pace yourself—the best cuts often keep circulating deeper into dinner service.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet is typically available around $12–$15; nearby garages run $8–$20 depending on time. Street parking is limited and competitive after 6pm.
Dress code: Smart casual with a polished edge. Jeans are fine if paired with nice shoes or a button-down; many guests lean dressy for date night.
Noise level: Moderate. There’s lively energy from the dining room and tableside carving, but you can still hold a conversation without shouting.
Weekend wait: Expect 30–45 minutes without a reservation, sometimes longer during peak hours.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait, though larger groups may need a few extra minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited but workable—salad bar has several composed salads, cheeses, and hot sides, though the experience is still very meat-forward.
Vegan options: Very limited—salad bar provides a few plant-based items, but this is not a strong option for strict vegans.
Gluten-free options: Good options—most meats are naturally gluten-free and staff can help identify safe sides; the salad bar is friendly to gluten-free diners.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes if you want a high-energy, impressive experience. The tableside service sparks conversation, but the non-stop food pace may feel overwhelming for a quieter first date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possible but not ideal. Walk-ins are sometimes accommodated at the bar or during early dinner hours, but prime weekend slots almost always require a reservation.
Is it kid-friendly? Suitable for older kids who enjoy steakhouse dining. Younger children may find the long meal format and upscale vibe challenging; no dedicated kids’ menu.
Best For
Better for: Luxe Brazilian rodizio lovers seeking premium cuts like picanha and A5 Wagyu, plus a stylish downtown setting perfect for dates or celebrations.
Skip if: You prefer a quiet, slow meal, plant-forward menus, or single-entrée ordering instead of an all-you-can-enjoy rodizio format.
