We came here to celebrate a special occasion and had a great experience. The staff were friendly. They even brought us a strawberry cheesecake to mark the celebration, which was a lovely touch. It’s a buffet-style restaurant, but not your typical setup. There aren’t many salad options, but they bring a variety of meats and chicken with different seasonings right to your table. You just let them know if you want it, and they’ll slice it for you. Each person gets a card — green means “keep it coming,” and if you’re full, you flip it to red so they stop serving. They also started us off with some appetizers like fried banana and chess bread. It’s a bit pricey if you’re not into meat, but if you love steak and grilled meats, this is your spot. Lots of free parking nearby too!

Great time out with my family to celebrate my birthday. The salad bar was nice and clean, and that Mandarin Orange salad was so delicious especially with all the steak and chicken we were served. Ordered the chocolate flan after all that for dessert and it was also really nice, rich but not heavy. Service was great and we will definitely have to visit again.

It was our first time visiting Rio and Natalia was extra helpful explaining how everything works at the restaurant. Francisco was very friendly to us, and Peter too. The three of them are very welcoming, knowledgeable, very attentive and they made sure our visit was above and beyond. It was a wonderful dining experience for me and my husband. It was not crowded and we always had meat on our plates (special mention to Francisco again). Go on a Wednesday - They have a couple’s night where you get 15% off.

I had a wonderful experience bringing my family together for a birthday lunch celebration here! The overall staff was very accommodating in which they exceeded our expectations with their serving skills. Every request we had from booking the reservation to our food needs were met exceptionally. The foods were so delicious and worth the price we paid for. Will definitely come back here again and highly recommend it to others who haven’t been here yet!! It’s perfect for special occasions and celebrating milestones :)

My family and I came here for a birthday. It was our first time experiencing where they walked around to give you different cuts of meat. We really enjoyed it. They give you a card where if it's green you're still down to eat more food. If you flip it to the red, it means you're full and don't need any more food at the moment. They had a buffet style bar that had different salads, beans, some bread, sauces, and rice. I didn't get to try them all because I knew I'd get full from the meats they were walking by with. They gave us two appetizers, which was deep fried banana. That was delicious. I've never tried that before. The other was a bread it tasted like a cheesy salted butter bread. That was addictive, I think I had 4. I also had their Rose Sangria, who doesn't love a good drink! And their cheesecake, simple, sweet, and just the right size. I will definitely come back again. The cuts of meat were so delicious, I kept wanting more, but I tapped out because I was full. The service was great. They're very personable and gave us a great experience. 10/10 would recommend. 10/10 you'll get full fast.

A nice restaurant and very welcoming. It was our first time here, and we were ready to try all you can eat!! They had quite a few items in the salad bar. Hot paella, salads, veggies, rice, mashed potato’s and beans. There was lots of choices for the grilled meats, pork, chicken, sausages, chicken hearts and lamb. Although some meats I tried felt a little too rare they were ok, I prefer my steaks medium well. You can ask for certain cuts while they cut the meats for you. They are brought by the server to every table. My favourite was the pork ribs. So much flavour and so tender. The grilled pineapple with cinnamon was also so delicious. This is the perfect place for meat lovers. The buffet price is 49.00 per adult and you have a 2-hour dining limit. All Drinks cocktails, beer and wine and are not included with the price per person. Service is efficient our server was quite attentive. The dining area has a nice open touch and the Samba dancers were lovely! Parking can be hard to find and it’s a tight squeeze . Reservations are recommended.

Lunch on Father's Day – Absolutely blown away by the team! From the warm welcome at the restaurant, to the incredible service provided by Deise and Natalia, to the awesome folks serving the meats at our table — wow! I was genuinely pleased and happy. I’ll definitely be coming back. Now, onto the negative comments. What negative points? None! As a Brazilian myself, my partner and I loved the experience and truly appreciated the quality of the food and service. Oh, the buffet! The rice, black beans, corn puree, mushrooms, pasta salad, chimichurri sauce — all to die for! Thank you all so much!

Food came fast, almost TOO fast. Happened to reserve on a Friday night for the wife's birthday (date night) when they had live dance performers, cover was only 3 on top of the bill, very reasonable. Overall even though you're paying a lot, it's actually worth it for the amount of food you get and the quality felt quite high, as well. Wide variety of meats. Friendly staff. But parking was pretty tough. I'm quite full, so the walk to my car actually helped!
