My husband LOVES Brazilian steak so we went to Adega Gaucha on South Orange Blossom to celebrate…read morehis birthday. We were ushered in almost immediately by the host who was very gracious and friendly. The place is very clean and well maintained with classy decor. We appreciated that they have eye friendly, warm yellow lighting for the dining area at evening and not the bright white lights that feel somewhat disorienting. We tried the Tuna tartare for appetizer, the full churrascaria experience for the husband, the fish of the day with lemon butter sauce for me, a classic old fashioned and a Brazilian old fashioned. Everything that was served to us was absolutely delicious! The husband particularly LOVED the flank steak. He said he's never had flank steak so tender and juicy. The sides offered with the churrascaria experience were also to his liking. Especially the brussel sprouts topped with maple syrup. The fish of the day was very well prepared as well. The seasoning was on point. The fish was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside. The tuna tartare was very different from what we're used to but was really good with the avocado and arugula it was served with. The old fashioned were very nicely prepared too. The Brazilian old fashioned deserves a special mention here. It takes Cachaça instead of the usual bourbon and the flavors were so good, so delectable that we'd probably go back for more of just that. LOL! All in all, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely return here as well as recommend the place.

We visited Adega Gaúcha on a Saturday night with a large group of nine, and the restaurant is…read moredefinitely well suited for big parties. The space is very broad and we felt quite comfortable at our table. ​Regarding the food, everything was good. Half of our group went with the Full Rodizio Experience, while others ordered from the A La Carte menu, and everyone was satisfied with the quality of the meats and dishes. ​However, the overall experience felt a bit disorganized. While our server was friendly, the service was not as proactive as you would expect from a high end steakhouse. We had to constantly ask for water refills and specifically request to have the table cleared and cleaned, as it wasn't being done automatically. ​It's a beautiful spot with great potential and delicious food, but the attention to detail and service flow definitely need some refinement to match the quality of the kitchen. A solid choice for groups, but be prepared to be more vocal with the staff regarding your needs.

Visited the newly remodeled Fogo on I-Drive two nights ago and it is absolutely gorgeous in there!…read more The service is top notch, from the waiters to the bar staff and even the valet attendants. Everyone is friendly and attentive. We had light apps and a few cocktails. I tried the Yellowbird and my wife had the far superior Summer Splash Martini which was a recommendation from the Sales Manager Alejandra. The martini was an absolute standout. The fresh and vibrant guava juice was so forward and complimented by the lemon juice. It was the perfect cocktail for a warm Florida night. Alejandra was so upbeat and friendly, she was able to give us pointers and details for holding gatherings in the new space. The remodel has made the whole location so inviting and classy. Well done Fogo!

The food is mid. The menu had food stains on it and the tables had crumbs on them. Horrible…read moreservice. The waiter Alex is careless and disrespectful. We were in the restaurant for over two hours and we got the indulgent choice, which the waiter said it comes with sides and desserts,The mashed potatoes tasted like the BS packaged ones you find in the stores. I chose the bone marrow for my side and my wife got the crab cake, the bone marrow came literally empty. I picked it up with a fork to see if it has more marrow inside and 3/4 of that fork was empty, and the crab cake was super mid, only thing making it edible was the sauce that came with it. Moving on, We kept getting the same 2 meats for over an hour and after telling them we want different meat (for the ones who don't know, you're supposed to get 7+ types of meat depending on what the restaurant serves, they told us the choices of the meat, and we only got served two of those). And not once did they ask us why temperature of meat we liked. While Alex is hanging out inside the restaurant ignoring us and setting up different tables and taking new customers orders while we're waiting. One of the times that they came out with a type of meat and we asked if it was medium rare he said yes it's medium rare, put it on the plate and it's well done. We told him that it's not medium rare. He said it's OK just Try it. They brought us some of the meat eventually after expressing our frustration but at that point we were mad and ready to leave. We had been waiting for the waiter Alex to come and ended up waiting for over 35 minutes just for him just to come and "clean" other tables that were around us and wait other tables and cleaning them, ignoring us and pretending to not see us the entire time. We ended up calling a different waitress that was passing by to get our dessert and bill. Our waiter Alex came outside again and we thought he might be coming to apologize for his ugly behavior, and surprise, surprise, came outside again to "clean" the rest of dirty tables and ignoring us for god knows many times now. The other waitress brought our bill and convenient enough, it had her name on it, for tips I'm assuming. I found this behavior super disgusting disrespectful. I looked for a manager to tell him what had happened And he said "yes that's how it works at the restaurant, it's team work between the waiters" And it felt like the whole thing was a joke to him. He ended up saying he's going to take care of some of the bill after we paid, didn't say what he's gonna do or anything but assuming he's gonna take something off the total, but he didn't say what he's gonna do or how much he's gonna take off it. Nothing against the waitress who ended up helping us because Alex was negligent, but it does speak volumes about the quality of the entire restaurant and how they're disrespectful and taking advantage of customers. We were supposed to leave Orlando at 8pm to be able to get home and rest for work the next day, (which was almost two hours away) ended up leaving at around 9:30 because no one paid attention to us. I was visiting Orlando for the weekend and I'm definitely not going back to that restaurant again, nor will I be recommending it to anyone for sure. The bill was almost 200$ and the whole experience wasn't even worth a fraction of that. There are so many amazing Brazilian steak houses out there and this is definitely not one of them. Utterly disappointing.

Fogo de Chao, who??? I would suggest to consider Rodizio…read moreGrill as an alternative since it is is very similar to Fogo where there is unlimited meats and open sides buffet. I was extremely impressed with their service as it's almost overwhelming because they keep coming over constantly with different meats until you turn your green place card over to red to signify that you are either done or taking a break from receiving more meat cuts. As a diner, it is a very good problem to have! Highlights: - plenty of tasty meat variety - unlimited side/salad bar - members receive birthday deal (sign up) - come hungry-prioritize protein -overwhelmingly quick service This location is near international Drive at a plaza known as The Point - great location if you are exploring the touristy regions and restaurants.

Consistency is not on point. The first time I visited, I was very impressed and I felt that the…read moreservice was outstanding. Tonight was my second visit and I couldn't have been more disappointed. We were scrunched at a table up against a column where I t was very difficult to sit comfortably. However, the most disappointing part was the service. We were either served dripping bloody red meat or charred dried out meat. It was very difficult for the servers to comprehend a medium warm red meat. Most disappointing was the fact that the main server was adamantly arguing with us stating that most people want a blood red dripping meat and that they did not have medium punk meat options available tonight. After complaining, they did bring out a couple of options and then significantly slowed down service to our table. Just as bad as the issue with the temperature of the meat and the argumentative server was the fact that the table waitress just never showed back up at the table to refill drinks. We had to go fu d the hostess to refill our $8 sodas. From a quality perspective, they brought out a cheese and honey option that was completely dried out and hard. Just not good. Overall, I would say that Rodizio Grill is a big maybe, depending on the service .... because it's clearly not consistent and they have some quality issues. The meat that we were able to try and eat; however, was very tasty.

Okay, I think I've figured out the way to avoid overeating at a churrascaria:…read more 1. Research the website to see the meat selection 2. Decide what cuts you want 3. Refuse any other cuts until you've first had what you really want That being said, we had out company Christmas party at Cafe Mineiro, and we had a blast. The only negative was that their sound system didn't work so well. We could barely hear speakers who used the mic. Other than that, the food was delicious. My cut of choice is the lamb chops. I declined other cuts until those came around. When they did, I asked for a double serving because I knew they wouldn't likely be coming back around. And I'm glad I did. I didn't fill up on a bunch of stuff I really didn't want and then hurt myself trying to squeeze in what I really wanted. The buffet items were very good and were a great variety. It wasn't as extensive as other churrascarias, but it was still impressive. I'd definitely eat here again.

I'm not a huge fan of these types of places so keep that in mind. My friends changed to carnivore…read morediet so they wanted to go here. That worked for them- but for me, I eat everything. They were super hungry, which is great at a place like this- because you can hit up the buffet and meats are already ready. Unfortunately, I found the salad bar to be super drab. I didn't want anything from it other than blue cheese. I asked for seafood and they said there is a crab salad. Well, it's krab, which is a fish, but it didn't look tasty. I sat down with my plate of blue cheese and some rice with beef (which wasn't good). The other hot foods in the buffet were rice and mashed potatoes. The fries were fine and the cheese bread was delicious, akin to those frozen brazi bites. The servers started arriving with their meats. The flank steak and top sirloin came by too many times. The filet was one of the last ones to come by, with the actual last one being the picanha. And when I was finally full, the Parmesan pork came by. I feel like they filled us up with cuts that don't matter. And they saved the nice stuff for when we were already full. I asked the server for some sauces- they actually have a chimichurri in the back that you gotta ask for and they have some sort of garlic mayo aioli on the salad bar. It's a shame they don't have more sauces. A lot of those cheaper cuts needs some real help. Even the lamb was gross. The bacon wrapped filet- the bacon was too soggy. I was disappointed. I really wanted some shrimp or fish or some sort of seafood. Heck, bring me some octopus. But no, they don't have seafood. So.... I would say the flank steak, the bacon wrapped chicken, the tri tip, the garlic filet, the picanha and especially the sausage, were good. The rest was meh. Long drive for mediocre salad bar. The meats are just like other Brazilian steakhouses. I would prefer to go to Texas de Brazil over this place. Even Adega gaucha over this place. Dessert not included. Parking plentiful. Bathrooms clean.

We were afraid to not use our reservation so we still went. There were plenty of open tables, the service was incredible, we couldn't even go to the salad bar without our napkin being folded again upon return. The environment was beautiful, not stuffy at all, I was worried I was underdressed but there was definitely a mix of attire. The salad bar was so so good, truly don't fill up there, though it's hard. I will say we didn't touch the fries at all, the hot bar had a bit left to be desired (options were lobster bisque, rice, beans, sautéed mushrooms) the shrooms were great. The meat, ohhh the meats are so good. My favorite being the flank steak. We will be back.

First impression outside the restaurant was that the place was rundown. There were tables and…read morechairs quite literally rotting with holes outside. The doorframe to the restaurant was rusted. Service was a little spotty. At first no meat was coming around, then too much meat was coming around. I found it overstimulating personally because even when we had the card flipped over saying we weren't interested in more food, we'd still be approached. The walk up buffet had very few labels to what everything was which sometimes made it difficult to identify what an item was. Overall, I felt the food was pretty good, my favorites being the salad from the salad bar and cheese bread they bring to the table. Personally, this type of experience is not for me.

I recently tried this app called TooGoodToGo for the first time and wasn't quite sure what to…read moreexpect in terms of food quality. I received (a surprise bag) what I believe was the Picanha steak, Pork belly burnt ends, served with a cheese rice mixed in with shrimp, and Plantains. While the plantains were delicious, unfortunately, the steak and pork belly burnt ends seemed to be overcooked or left out for too long, lacking freshness and flavor. The cheese rice with shrimp had a unique taste, not bad but also lacking in flavor. On the bright side, I found the Cashew drink, which I had never tried before, to be uniquely tasty, not overly sweet, and quite enjoyable overall. Considering the quantity of food and the drink, the $10 price tag seemed fair to me. I also appreciated the kindness of the gentleman who gave me the food (as we had a very nice conversation) and the interesting items available at the market. I'm willing to give it another try during normal hours to experience fresher food before making a final judgment. So, I've awarded it 4 stars with the intention of revisiting for a fair chance.
