We started with the Codfish Fritters and we all loved the Garlic Ancho Steak Picanha Beef (comes with rice, beans, potato mayonnaise, vinaigrette, and cassava). For drinks, we had a passion fruit juice and a Lagunitas. Can either walk through the market first to get to the restaurant or use the side door. Such a hidden gem, can't wait to come back

Bolinhos de bacalhau (bolinhos de batata )

Os bolinhos de bacalhau estavam péssimos, basicamente são bolos de batata com 1 fiapinho de bacalhau, gordurosos, e moles. I know that bacalhau is expensive, so charge the price of a good product, not cheating with potatos.

Been a while since I've been there definitely changed ,, chopped up into bite-size pieces on a bread roll half a jar of mayonnaise, small tomato, onions, and Costco lettuce 1695 and some fries .

Chicken Parmesan

The restaurant was remodeled and use to be Bacalhau Grill. It looks beautiful and the market with all the traditional food and ingredients and wine is located on the other side of the wall. The staff are kind and helpful. We decided to come with our family to dinner. The steak platter, steak sandwich and the chicken fingers with the French fries and chicken Parmesan and Bacalhau Gomes Sa were very good. Unfortunately the other dishes needed some help. The pork sandwich was soggy and the marinade was not tasty and pieces of pork were disappointing. It was not the traditional Acorian food. The other steak platter my family found to be chewy. And none of the salads came with dressing and they didn't give us any options. When we asked for Ranch we got Cesar dressing 2 times. Some water glass we were provide were dirty 2 times. We had a reservation but they seemed very unprepared for us and there were only 2 other tables seated. It was unfortunate.

Picanha Tradicional
Carla L.

As a Brazilian, I was looking forward to my meal but I found the meat to be very tough which is not typical of the picanha. The side dishes were tasty. For dessert, I tried the Romeo and Juliet which was well balanced and not very rich. The staff was friendly and there are a lot of options for dishes and sandwiches and other Brazilian street foods which make this a great stop. Next door there is a mini grocery store that sells a lot of Brazilian and Portuguese products. I left at the time when a musician was setting up but it's nice that they are beginning to provide entertainment as well. Lastly, there are several TVs in the restaurant inside and it's very dark. I think customers would be happier with less TVs and more natural lighting. The outside area is pretty but it wasn't set up for sitting. I would love to see the quality of the meat improve so this can become one of my favorite spots.

Carrot cake with brigadeiro

Amazing place!! Definitely scratches the itch to eat Brazilian food. The pizzas were fantastic, the service was excellent, and the new owner, Nicholas, was extremely kind. We took the food to go, but restaurant looks really good. Excited to go back and sit down with the family!

Não sou muito de escrever avaliações, mas durante uma visita a San José encontramos este restaurante pela internet e tivemos uma experiência simplesmente maravilhosa. Gostaria de agradecer e parabenizar o Márcio e a Jacqueline pelo atendimento impecável, pela simpatia e pela comida excelente, preparada com muito cuidado e sabor. A experiência foi tão positiva que, depois da refeição, ainda aproveitamos para fazer algumas compras no mercado. Sem dúvida, um lugar que recomendamos e ao qual esperamos voltar.

Great food, great Vibe, great ambiance, great service!   Definitely recommend this place!

Great food, great service, great ambience, great price! Would definitely recommend this place!

I knew this place as Bacalhau Grill a while back. It seems they serve the same brazilian and portuguese dishes under this new name. The menu indicates that most items take 15-20 minutes. But my takeout order was ready in no more than 10 minutes, on a slow Monday of course. I ordered the codfish with cream, a truly addicting dish. The taste has not changed, super creamy and buttery, and strangely more affordable than before. It even came with a small side salad. There are a couple things that have changed though. The menus are in English, which makes it so much easier to order. Also, the restaurant is open later, so I can actually grab dinner at dinnertime now (Bacalhau Grill used to close at 4pm). Woohoo! This 5-star review is mainly for the delicious codfish with cream (aka bacalhau de natas) and stress-free takeout experience.

Cochinha,
Daniel I.

Absolutely terrible. The food little was served was either cold or greasy. Service was equally disappointing--slow and rude. I've had better meals from gas stations. Save your money and go anywhere else.

My experience with Bacalhau Grill was extremely disappointing and frustrating…read more Before placing my order, I called multiple times because I have significant food allergies and needed to verify ingredients and preparation methods. Asking questions about allergens is not a matter of preference--it's a matter of safety. During these calls, I experienced repeated hang-ups while simply trying to get information about whether the restaurant could accommodate my allergies. Eventually, I was assured that my meal could be prepared without the ingredients I am allergic to, so I felt comfortable enough to place and pay for an order. Unfortunately, that was where the problems only got worse. After placing the order, I waited more than an hour and a half. During that time, I repeatedly attempted to contact the restaurant for updates and clarification. Instead of receiving assistance, my calls were repeatedly ignored or disconnected. It felt as though the restaurant was actively refusing to communicate after taking my payment. The most upsetting part of the experience was that after assuring me they could accommodate my allergies and accepting my money, I never received the level of communication or service that any customer should reasonably expect. When someone has food allergies, clear communication is essential. Being unable to get answers about an order involving allergens is stressful and unacceptable. What should have been a straightforward transaction turned into an exhausting experience filled with confusion, unanswered questions, and a complete lack of customer service. I spent considerable time trying to reach someone, waiting for an order, and attempting to resolve the situation, only to be met with silence and disconnected calls. I understand that restaurants get busy and mistakes can happen. However, repeatedly hanging up on a customer, failing to communicate after taking payment, and leaving someone waiting for over an hour and a half without meaningful updates is not acceptable. Customers deserve honesty, respect, and basic communication--especially when food allergies are involved. This was one of the most frustrating restaurant experiences I have had, and unfortunately I cannot recommend Bacalhau Grill based on the way this situation was handled.

We recently visited Show De Carnes Brazilian Steakhouse in San Jose, which has taken over the…read moreformer Taurinus location, and it was an incredible experience. When we first went, the restaurant was running special promotions--$49.99 per person for the dinner buffet and a Wagyu steak for two (with the full all-you-can-eat buffet included) for $155. We tried both during two separate visits, and the food was so delicious we couldn't resist coming back the very next weekend. (According to the restaurant, these promotions have since ended, but the quality of the food makes it worth visiting regardless.) The service was equally impressive. Felipe, the manager/host, was welcoming, patient, and very thorough in explaining the menu. Our server, Lays, was outstanding as well--she made our anniversary dinner feel so special and even surprised us with a complimentary dessert. Food-wise, the ribeye, sirloin, filet mignon, and garlic shrimp were my favorites--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The grilled pineapple and fried bananas added the perfect sweet touch. On our second visit, we ordered the Wagyu steak, and it was phenomenal: tender, juicy, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Even as I write this, I find myself craving it all over again. I highly recommend Show De Carnes under its new ownership--it's one of the best dining experiences we've had in San Jose!

An absolutely terrible experience from beginning to end…read more Celebrating my wife's birthday here was one of the worst decisions we could have made. The evening started with us being made to wait 15-20 minutes, despite there being multiple empty tables. We were then seated at what appeared to be the farthest and most isolated corner of the restaurant. I specifically asked the manager, Kevin, if we could be seated somewhere else. His response was that the other tables were reserved for "regulars." Apparently, being a paying customer on a birthday isn't quite enough to qualify for a decent table. What made it worse was that many of those tables appeared to remain empty throughout our visit. When we asked again, Kevin didn't even bother coming over to speak with us. He simply sent someone else. That was a great way to start a birthday dinner. Then there is the restaurant's claim that it has a "business formal" dress code. That was probably the funniest part of the evening. I watched a man walk in wearing torn jeans and a hoodie. I also saw another guest wearing a hoodie. So apparently "business formal" means whatever the restaurant decides it means when someone walks through the door. But the seating and dress code would have been easy to overlook if the food had been worth it. It wasn't. I have been fortunate enough to eat at some of the best Italian and French restaurants around the world. This was easily one of the most disappointing dining experiences I have had. The restaurant has all the appearance of a place that expects to be taken very seriously. Unfortunately, the food did absolutely nothing to justify it. We decided to skip the appetizers and order only entrées. Looking back, thank goodness we didn't order more. My wife's entrée was so excessively salty that it was practically inedible. We had to send it back. The restaurant then brought out complimentary arancini as an apology. I couldn't even get through the first bite. We were then given something else that appeared to be some kind of cornbread. At that point, the entire dinner had become almost absurd. A restaurant charging the kind of prices associated with an upscale dining experience should not be serving an entrée that is excessively salty and then following it up with terrible aranchini. For a place that seems to put so much importance on its image, the actual experience was remarkably far from what you would expect. If you want to spend your money waiting to be seated, being treated as though you're less important because you're not a "regular," sitting in the corner, watching the restaurant selectively enforce its own dress code, and sending back food because it is either excessively salty or undercooked, then by all means, come here. Otherwise, save your money and go somewhere that actually cares about the food and the people paying for it. We came here to celebrate my wife's birthday. Instead, we spent the evening wondering why we chose this restaurant in the first place. Never again.

Loved everything and loved how recharged I felt after my flight. I immediately made plans to come back here before leaving town to bring empanadas to enjoy with my husband. I stopped here again on my way to the airport, got 6 empanadas to go and told the ladies I was flying with them, they were so sweet and wrote what empanada was in the paper bags for each so I could identify them easily. They also wrote heating instructions for me, and went as far as packing them nicely in plastic wrap, and they made it home safe. I had saved space in my carry-on backback to make sure I had space for these, it paid off. My favorite empanadas were the beef, chicken and the ham and cheese (omg what cheese was that?! So yummy!!!), I took some other flavors, we loved them all but honestly when I go back these are the repeats for me. The size of the large empanadas is very generous, and the protein with potato empanadas are worth the try and even though they are smaller, they are still super worth it. Loved it all

I am not a big steak kinda gal but whenever a special celebrations calls for a boujee kinda night, it's almost ALWAYS Alexander's. With my little monster's baptism quickly coming, I made sure to give them a call and set up a reservation. Shout out to the staff and specifically, Josh [VP of Operations @ Alexander's] for the kind upgrade to the infamous Butterfly Room. This beautiful private room exudes love, romance, celebration, and happiness- extra points for the stunning butterfly ceiling and the live piano music playing in the background. WHAT A WAY TO KICK OFF MY CHILD'S SPECIAL DAY?!!

EVERYTHING was delicious. Food was fresh, made of high quality ingredients, plated beautifully, seasoned well, and kept you wanting more. The standout dishes for the night: popcorn crab, spicy tuna tartare, wagyu fried rice, and the steaks. Thank you Josh & Storm for the most amazingly magical night. We appreciate your patience and efforts in making my child feel seen. I couldn't have hoped for a better celebration and the service provided was 100% top tier. I'd come back without any hesitations and Alexander's comes highly recommended to all of my friends & fam! Until next time....

Group of 7 all picked fancy lunch prefix menu about $82 per person: one appetizer,one entry and one dessert . And anything on the steak fancy side - like aged ones, bone in.... All will cost extra 49 dollars or depends on what you chose. I went with the no extra cost option: poke + salmon+ chocolate cake thing . The poke is great, crispy chips with well seasoned fresh sashimi pieces, the flavors and textures tango on the taste buds. The salmon was ok for a non-chef dish, not much seasoning , tastes like well home cooked one, no surprise on good or bad, which didn't align with the fancy part. The chocolate cake is great, a little less sugar or more dark chocolate can make it perfect.
