Mel N.

Great food!! Everything was so flavorful and not dry. The dish that surprised me the most was the shrimp and pumpkin soup, which was delicious!!! The drinks are so strong, and I don't drink. My only gripe is the wait time, even with a reservation, and at certain times there isn't a large selection of meat available. Otherwise, best Brazilian steakhouse in Boston!!!

Black beans ...
Zita C.

Laying over at the Aloft Boston Seaport and wanted a quick takeaway meal. Alma Gaúcha Prime Brazilian Steakhouse is easy to get to through the hotel lobby - since I ordered takeout, I can't speak on the full dine-in experience, just the food. I got the Chicken & Picanha combo with rice and black beans. Other side choices included Caesar salad or Garlic Mashed Potatoes. The rice and beans were actually really good, and they give you two solid portions, which I appreciated. The meat, though... not my favorite. I love chicken thighs for how juicy they normally are, but these were a bit dry and shriveled. And my steak, which I asked for medium, came out more on the well-done side. It was a little disappointing - I was really expecting that tender, juicy Brazilian-steakhouse moment..

Lychee martini

The atmosphere is amazing, the lighting wasn't overly bright. The tables were spaced nicely. I got the lychee martini and that was really tasty. The first cut of meat came out quicker than I expected it to. And all of it tasted great. The servers were really nice and the service was great. 10/10 worth the price. We got the chocolate molten cake for dessert and it was amazing. It was my birthday and the servers came out with the dessert with a candle in it and sand and clapped. I would definitely recommend and go again.

I was quite underwhelmed with the quality of the meat. Almost all of the portions we received were overcooked. The salad bar was amazing though. I did notice that the batch of meat that came out as we were finishing up was A LOT better than the ones we received so I attributed our overcooked meal to timing. We ate around 4:45 pm, which must've been the end of their early afternoon rush. It was definitely heart wrenching to see everyone get perfect medium rare cuts after we just ate some well done meat.

Key lime pie??
Raquel D.

Key lime pie?? Hard pass. This was some sort of old cheesecake with a nasty congealed sauce that tasted like apple pucker, totally high school cafeteria vibes. In addition to this we arrive when the place was very much still open (according to posted hours) and got a lot of attitude from a bartender who clearly just wanted to go home. Save yourself the time and likely food poisoning

This place was great, you definitely get your money's worth here. The food was good, meats were delicious and the dessert was fantastic. I would definitely come back! Until the next one cheers!

I was craving some meat and decided to try a rodizio for the first time. I went for lunch, and they had two price options: $23, which doesn't include meat, and $45, which does, so I went straight for the $45. From the moment I walked in, the host greeted us very warmly. The staff was extremely friendly-someone even pulled out my chair for me to sit. The restaurant is beautiful, with well-arranged tables and a great atmosphere. The food was delicious. I went on a Monday, so it wasn't very busy, but I really appreciated that the staff was constantly checking to make sure all the food was fresh, well presented, and kept at the right temperature. Overall, it was an excellent experience: great service, a pleasant ambiance, and high-quality food. 10/10

Meats, sides, and all you can eat salad buffet

This was my first Brazilian steakhouse experience and I came here as part of a group of 4 a few weeks back, while Alma Gaucha had an ongoing DineOut Boston promotion where they were offering AYCE dinner for $46 per person. There's no doubt in my mind that this is by far the best deal of the entire Dine Out Boston period - I can guarantee that you won't find any other place that's this worth your money! I was impressed by the freshness of their sides and salads - the buffet section wasn't overwhelmingly huge and it definitely seemed like they wanted to highlight quality over quantity. They also had a couple of hot dishes for people to sample - their clam chowder was decent. The one thing that I kept on going back for was their candied bacon - it was truly dangerously addicting. The highlight was definitely the meat selections that were served throughout our meal. I think the servers did a great job making sure that there was a variety and even though they were quite busy, I appreciated how they tried to take our preferences into account (the size of the piece, what temperature we preferred, etc etc) whenever they could. There was truly so much food that we definitely had to prioritize which ones we wanted to try. I passed on most of the chicken and pork samples. I really liked the premium of top sirloin! Their ribs were also super tender. I'm not a lamb person at all but even I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try a small piece of their lamb steak, which was very juicy and flavorful and not too gamey at all. The cheese with honey is definitely a must-try in my opinion as well, but it's definitely very heavy and not as worth as the rest of the meat selections! The servers made sure that the sides of cheesy bread (had a very fun mochi-like texture), fried polenta, and yucca were always filled. I was truly impressed by how wonderful and attentive the service was! And I also appreciated how they had a very clear allergen list. My only disappointment was that they had a strict set of two desserts that each person could choose from (a chocolate brownie or a slice of red velvet cake), and they weren't able to offer a gluten-free dessert (even though they definitely had gluten-free options available on their regular menu) for someone with a strict gluten allergy. Since they were really good about accommodating allergies with everything else, that was understandably a letdown unfortunately. Still, would definitely recommend this spot for people to try out in the future, particularly during DineOut promotions!

There aren't many restaurants within easy walking distance to the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. But thank goodness Alma Gaucha is one of them! Located on the main floor of the Aloft Hotel, Alma Gaucha has everything you want in a Brazilian steakhouse experience, minus the large crowds often found in large city convention areas. I sat at the bar, which still allowed me to order a 'bar size' portion of their famous skewer meats (chicken, lamb, shrimp and of course picanha steak!). The custom cocktails were excellent and I even veered off their menu to ask if they could make a caipirinha. The bartender was thrilled I asked! Bonus that a few other diners saw this and ordered the same. Icing on the cake was most of the staff were actually Brazilian. They loved my trying out simple Portuguese phrases (thank you, good evening, etc). It was a fun, interactive and FULLfilling experience!

One part of buffet (this is mostly chowder and Soup).

Is it kid friendly?

During Lunch/Early Dinner Hours.

What's the dress code here?

Business causal I would say. Doesn't have to be totally dressed up either could be a nice causal dress with some heels and guys could wear a nice button up and jeans.

Please, How much pay for dinner for kids 12 years old and under?

6 and under is free, 7-12 is 1/2 price.

The Chinese name is "Juxiang Mianbao Fang聚香麵包坊". It had the taste of an old-fashioned bakery and…read morewas very cost-effective. Portuguese Egg Tart葡撻: The shop keeps the egg tarts in a warming box, which is very thoughtful. I've always preferred the cookie crust of old-fashioned Hongkongese egg tarts; they don't crumble or feel sticky in your throat. The custard filling looked a bit overbaked on the surface, but it was still smooth and creamy inside. The milk and egg flavors were qualified, and it was not too sweet. While not particularly amazing, it definitely deserved 4 stars, especially for a Cantonese person like me who hasn't had egg tarts in a long time. Hongkongese Egg Tart蛋撻: The crust is the same as the Portuguese egg tart, but the custard filling seems a bit more diluted, with a lighter milk flavor and a stronger egg flavor. People who aren't used to it might find it a bit eggy. I still prefer the former. Custard Bread奶黃包: Recommended by the owner, and it was definitely the best thing there! I ate it the next morning, but the bread was still soft, and the crust wasn't dry. The custard filling was generous, sweet, creamy, moist, and had a slightly grainy texture. Sausage Bread腸仔包: The seasoning was quite interesting, with a hint of wasabi (?). However, the sausage itself was just average, with a slightly starchy texture. Breads generally cost $2-4 each, and here four items were only $8+, enough to last me all day Important Reminder: Cash only for orders of $10 or less.

Awesome cafe & bakery with a great selection of mooncakes, pastries like egg tarts and other…read moredelicacies. Located right in the center of Boston Chinatown. Nice service and cozy interior where there are sometimes lines but it moves pretty fast. Check it out!

Came to Boston for a work trip and really wanted to eat something light and healthier. I loved it…read moreso much I came back twice! I came during lunchtime on a Monday. It was adequately busy but still had seats open. The lunch menu is very affordable! If you can, I'd highly recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. Service was really quick! Received my meal in like 5-7 mins after ordering. Fish was super fresh and I really liked the different textures in the Hoseki Don. I also added in negitoro. They gave me a big clump of it! The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!

absolutely adore tora! one of the few places i'd always recommend in boston! fish quality is pretty…read moregood and they have a good variety on the menu! i'd recommend the aburi waygu don but also something more interesting is the kani-yaki tama don however that's a bit more if u like imitation crab! resturant inside is pretty casual and service once seated is usually good and quick however resturant itself is very small so wait times on weekends are ALWAYS long but again it's a given for how popular the resturant is! (p.s. i've been here soooo many times times so i'd also say quality has always been consistent)
