Texas de Brazil - Rochester

To start I will say we have enjoyed every time we came here before. We have made it a tradition to come every New Year’s Eve and for some bdays. Typically we have had a great experience. I hate to complain in their day and age where help is hard to find in every industry. But…..the restaurant had such a foul odor when we were seated that I literally lost my appetite to eat. The server came to take our drink orders and wasn’t the typically trained enthusiastic waitresses we have come to know over the years. We barely saw her most of the night. The salad bar was reopened and was very limited. When I usually ask about gluten free options the waiter in the past has had the manager come over to give me a list of food to stay away from. The waitress barely was able to tell me anything. Except well you know what is gluten free. Really?? Was I there cooking or prepping the items? The meat servers barely came over to our table the entire time we sat there. That was very disappointing. The first cut of meat was so tough and fatty I couldn’t eat it. The rest was so raw it might as well have not even been cooked. When we requested other cuts it took forever to get them to the table and some never made it. The quality of everything from the food to the experience has gone down. Now….you might be thinking we’re they really busy? The answer to that was absolutely not. There was maybe three tables seated in my area when we sat down. The restaurant was so empty we thought it was closed when we approached it. Totally not the same restaurant anymore. I know I won’t be going back.

Good food. Gluten free options. Just a bit cramped for the seating.
