I know that most people go here for the beef however, my favorite part of this restaurant is their salad bar. As a salad lover, I can't tell you how much I enjoy sampling some of the delicacies they have available. I'm a cheese head so their variety of cheese never disappoints I also love their wine selection and their dessert menu. Service is amazing. It's good to eat at a restaurant where the employees are actually happy to be there lol. It really does make a difference. The ambience can be romantic, fun, private... whatever you're looking for there are so many different options for seating and lighting and ambience that you can go there for pretty much any occasion. It's just one of the perfect spots to eat.

Their salads were fresh and there's a lot of varieties. Same idea as any table side service you get at other places, But this one had some great staff and the cuts of meat were so delicious and done to specifications. About $70 per person but it's all worth it. They even give servings of mash potatoes to go with your meals. All their meats were seasoned well and so tasty. They had some fancy drinks also that came with an experience. Very vice and upscale.

This was quite literally the worst Brazilian steakhouse I've ever been to…read more We had a reservation for 7:45 PM on Valentine's Day. We got there and checked in right at 7:45 pm. We still had to wait 30 minutes. It was a Saturday night and Valentine's Day so it was busy and I get it. However, once we were sat, after nearly 2 hours, I only had about 6 pieces of meat. We didn't get offered half of the meat. Most of the meat we did get offered weren't even beef, mainly chicken, sausage, etc. Our cards were flipped to the green side the WHOLE time we were there, but servers were either skipping or just not even coming. Despite making eye contact. then, when we were offered certain meats, they would cut a slice for my s/o, but when it was my turn, the server would say "oh i have to get your cut from the back, I'll be right back" then never come back. This happened twice. By the 3rd time, i was clearly upset and that may have been the only reason the server actually came back that time. Our server also kept asking if we were just waiting on meat, in which we'd say yes just to still continue waiting. After THREE hours and still about 6 meats total, we requested the dessert menu - another 15 minutes just to get the menu to us. At this point, we ordered it and i asked to speak to the manager. I have never requested to speak to a manager at a restaurant before, that is how horrible this experience was. Again, had to wait for the manager to make his way to us. Once i explained to him my experience, his response in general was a very like "welp that sucks" attitude & didn't even seem really concerned. He offered to charge us as a "lite dinner" + drinks + dessert. Which I still dont even think is a fair resolution, because my dinner was their mashed potatoes, cheese bread, and 6 slices of meat. Even getting the check took time. God bless the host/hostess as they seem to be fighting for their life trying to get everyone seated. In the future, if there isn't availability, then they shouldnt be offering reservations they cannot honor. Will not be back and i definitely do not recommend the place.

Time to Appetizers: 20 minutes Time to Entree: 25 minutes Arrived at 2:30PM on a Saturday and were directed to sit anywhere. We sat near the buffet, which was a bit unclear. There was a live guitarist/singer playing which was a fantastic vibe. A complimentary basket of four pieces of cheese bread was brought out, excellent way to start the meal! For two people, we ordered: 2x Coxinha (3.5/5): While the chicken is a tad dry, it's complimented well by the creamy sauce 1x Kibe (3/5): Reminded me of a meatball crossed with a falafel, like something you'd order on a skewer. Not too grainy and a nice smoky flavor. 1x Risole de Camarao (4.5/5): I thought this was a better version of the Coxinha. The shrimp flavor really permeates and reminds you of a shrimp risotto in a single bite. Churrasco Gaucho (16oz) (2/5): We decided to get this to sample all of the meats. Unfortunately I thought everything was really salty. Maybe it's characteristic of the Brazilian grilling style, because the smoky flavors did come through, but it just felt too salty for me on everything. Honestly maybe it just needed some kind of vegetable besides beans to help offset. Whatever their chili sauce is (5/5): I have no idea what this is but it reminds me of mashed up bird eye chili sauce..it's really good. Sprinkle it on everything. Helps with the saltiness of things. Milk Flan (4/5): A rich custard style of flan, thick and very sharable. Not too sweet. I liked this as a great palate cleanser. Service was really prompt and friendly. Paid via inKind with no issues.

I definitely recommend Gauchos Do Sul in Highland Village for the ambiance and view. I've been to other Brazilian steakhouses and Gauchos seems to be the best one that has a nice salad bar and located on the third floor. You have a nice view overlooking Highland Village. The dinner price is pretty reasonable, which includes the salad bar. We got there early and made it to Happy Hour too. The dinner selection also included lamb chops! The lamb chops were pretty generous in size and cooked perfectly medium rare for me. The service is great too! I highly suggest booking a reservation through Open Table or directly in Gauchos website. You can check out their Happy Hour menu and prices there too.

The service is good with plenty of servers walking around with different cuts of meat - beef, chicken, and pork - and grilled pineapple. My one complaint and why I am giving it 4 stars, is that the grilled shrimp that is mentioned on the menu never appeared in the 1.5 hours we were there. And, I asked the server for the shrimp and he said "uh huh" and never followed through. The Brazilian lemonade is fantastic. Try that. The restaurant is noisy but not so bad like other restaurants. The tables are close but not one on top of another.

Each person you ask will give you a different answer (preference really). For me (personally), I like the service, food and ambience at Avenida. Especially the meat choices (see menu for more info). They have an enormous salad bar with every fixing you could think of. Now that I've gone so many times, I actually skip the salad bar and go straight meat! My favorites are : bottom sirloin (always tender, juicy, a little salty and oh so goood). Rib eye cap was amazingly good, and Picanha . Others that hit the spot are the bacon wrapped filet minion , beef ribs and the shrimp. That cheese with honey glaze is amazing! Keep in mind, dinner during the holidays was about $65 per person. The sides are okay. I mostly go to the cheesy bread (yes it's fresh, cheesy and good) and the fried banana (not too sweet just enough). They do have desserts but I don't remember any enough to provide. By this point, I've eaten so much meat (and food) I never have room for dessert :) I do see a few people order coffee after their meal for a pick er upper! The drinks are good here. Just depends what you like. I usually get the smoked old fashioned and my wife gets their Calpirinha. I'll definitely be back! Remember to get a reservation through open table!

There were about 35 people on a Sunday evening. We were able to reserve a room in the back, which they set up in a U formation. Our reservation was at 7:30pm but when we arrived a little after 7:15pm, it was already set up and we were seated immediately with part of the group. This wasn't my first Brazilian Churrascaría rodeo so I came hungry! They have a wonderful buffet, with salad, grilled veggies, soup (lobster bisque was on point!), cured meats and cheeses. The sides of cheese bread, plantains, potatoes and rice were awesome (filler food that is worth eating!!) We got the signature menu and soon after we had our drinks and salad bar items, the stars of the show started coming. Not gonna lie, I strategically had the best seat in our group and was often offered the amazing meats first. (Muahaha! ) The picanha was delicious! The sirloin was amazing! The beef rib was to die for! This was pretty much true of EVERY offering. The servers were so quick and attentive and generous. At other churrascarías, the most delicious cuts are offered maybe twice if you are there long enough (which is at least 30m) to be offered a second helping. Here, the variety and speed of the offerings made you feel like royalty. I had the Brazilian limeade and that and my water rarely were below halfway consumed before a server filled it to the top. It was a very good drink. Perfect blend of sweet and sour. Any sides or meats requested all came out super quickly. The staff and the chefs are on their game and then some!!! Honestly, this was one of the best dining experiences I've had, despite having a crazy large party. It felt like they were all there just for us, even though they were other diners I definitely let them know how great the service and food were because my gosh, did they deliver!
