Avenida Brazil

So this review has been 2 visits in the making. After a first visit with dismal service, I sent a detailed email to the GM of the restaurant. The customer service team (Katie Specifically) reached out immediately, apologized profusely, attempted to make it right, and asked us to come try them again. SO - Second visit was a resounding success. Service was on point, salad bar is well stocked and delicious, and the meat with the main course is tender, flavorful, and quality cuts of meat. Our only nag was drink service was a little slow, but the drinks were quite good when they arrived, so l'll give em a pass on it. Two menu pricing options is a very positive attribute, but be sure you understand which one you are opting for and what you get with it. We will absolutely return and this is a going to be a go to spot for a friend group of ours. One further note: We did not test it, but I inquired about gluten free options for a celiac, and they said they absolutely could accommodate as a vast majority of their food is gluten free.

My partner and I came here for our anniversary through OpenTable and we were treated to something I can only describe as above and beyond. First the entryway to the restaurant is lowkey and doesn’t try to be pretentious. The waiting staff and front of house are very attentive and can pick out details here and there without even talking to you which is a big highlight that goes unnoticed in some of these reviews. It is their job to scout your likes, any special dates, or preferences when you are there and they knocked it out of the park. I’ve been to countless Brazilian restaurants both more traditional and churrascarias and this place has some great service that makes it stand apart from the others. When they do talk to you they always make sure you are their priority and make you feel welcome without being rushed. Second the servers always come by and refill your water or drink for you or even assist in getting you the dish that you’d like to come out for you. In our case it was the queso asadero for me and the lamb for my partner. Third the food itself was grandiose. It is truly a cut above the rest when it comes to the quality and techniques the chefs displayed and poured their very soul in. I felt truly touched by the accentuated flavors in the Picanha, the bottom sirloin, the Argentinian sausage, the salad bar bacon, the grilled garlic and the list goes on and on. The queso asadero was truly the best I’ve ever had in my life and will always recommend this delicious cheese whenever they come here (always let them add the honey). The big plus here was that my partner could eat most dishes (gluten free/celiac) and we had our own little display that mentioned a gluten allergy. It always makes us both happy when places care about an allergy that isn’t a choice and part of someone’s daily life. Fourth - From the cocktail menu we had the strawberry caipirinha and the Brazilian coffee to share. Both were excellent and the Cachaça in the caipirinha was excellent. The coffee itself was accentuated by a nice whip and a touch of chocolate syrup. Finally for dessert we had the Brazilian flan and the crème brûlée. The flan was by far the best flan I’ve ever had in my life and that is tough to say since I’ve had lots of different flans. The crème brûlée was heavenly to my partner and it was amazing that we were able to eat both as my partner has celiac and has to eat gluten free. Thank you so much for a wonderful meal and atmosphere. This place was truly welcoming and a highlight of the area.
