What People Say

Diners rave about the high-quality meats, especially the picanha and lamb chops, and appreciate the attentive, friendly staff. Many reviewers mention how the experience feels special without being stuffy, and how the ambiance balances upscale dining with a welcoming energy. The salad bar also gets high marks for freshness and variety, making it a hit even for non-meat eaters.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the dining room can get a bit noisy during peak hours, which might not suit those looking for a quiet pre-show meal.
