We went around 2pm on a Saturday. Service here was really…read moregreat. The restaurant was relatively empty. We did the full experience. Any meats we requested came out fast. Interior was clean and beautiful. As always unlimited cheese bread was amazing. Would go again to this location. Room for improvement: I wish they would ask for our phone number for the fogo rewards. They also forgot to bring out the sides but once I brought it to their attention it was fixed.

So my sister graduated medical school in NJ and we were looking for a quick restaurant so that we…read morecan dine. The staff at the front were welcoming and courteous. Unfortunately, my overall experience was very disappointing due to poor service. Our server, a shorter male who I believe was named Ricardo, took our order. I ordered the lobster mac and cheese and yuca fries. After waiting 25 minutes, I asked a staff member serving steak to check on the order, and he agreed. After 45 minutes, I followed up again with another staff member, a woman with reddish hair in a ponytail, and asked her to check with the kitchen. After waiting over an hour with no update, when she passed back, I informed her that I no longer wanted the food, and she acknowledged my request. Throughout this entire time, our server never once checked in on us. When he finally came to the table, I confirmed that my order had been canceled, and he said yes. He then proceeded to tell us that cooking takes time and that we needed to be patient. I dine out regularly and understand reasonable wait times, but the lack of communication and follow-up was unacceptable. The comment made by our server felt dismissive and unprofessional, especially given the circumstances. Overall, this experience did not meet expectations, and I will likely just stick to New York in the future.

Parking is all on street meter parking. The restaurant is nicely decorated. The servers were extremely accommodating to our needs. The meat selection was just ok compared to other Brazilian steakhouses we have been to. The food was very good, just a poor selection of sides and meats. The atmosphere was nice but noisy, making it difficult to carry on a conversation. Overall, for the price, I would say it's ok, not great.

I'm still thinking about the steak that I got from this restaurant!! It a buffet style, pay by the…read morepound place that serves a plethora of Brazilian food. They have a window in the back where you can order different cuts of meat, all which were cooked to perfection(hanger steak was my favorite)! The added green sauce made it even better! The buffet bar has premade dishes and sides that you can pick from yourself. I got a little of everything and it all tasted amazing. They have a good amount of seating and the service was quick! Would definitely come back if I was in the area!

Lovely Brazilian restaurant in the heart of the Ironbound district in Newark. On Fridays, they…read morebring DJs to play vinyl. I enjoyed the contemporary design of the restaurant and the food was amazing. I had a dish that I normally don't make and don't see it in restaurants across the US - beef parmigiana. The meat was very tender, and the tomato sauce was well balanced without a lot of acidity, which I liked. It's a good size and you will probably take some home. Luis, the owner, is very proud of their vinyl equipment and says that the music selection of the DJs is very diverse and upbeat. This is a son and mother business and mom is in charge of the kitchen, menu design, produce purchase to keep everything fresh. I would definitely dine here again and I recommend it.

I did not expect to enjoy this restaurant that much! It's unfortunate that it's located far into…read moreNewark, but I'm so happy I was able to try it. They had a wide variety of food, all ranging from beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and some vegetarian options. They had an extensive wine menu, and my boyfriend joyfully enjoyed a glass of wine. I got the brazilian fried chicken, which was extremely flavorful, and i was surprised there wasn't any breading on the chicken as typical fried chicken does. I much preferred the no-breading style, which I think is the Brazilian way. I would have preferred a boneless dish, as there were quite a few pieces with bones, and it was pretty oily at the bottom of the dish. It came with two very large sides, and totaled around $25. 100% would recommend this dish, but I do think at a lower price point, this could make do with just one side, instead of two, as the main dish was quite large enough to fill me up. My favorite part of this meal was the garlic butter bread that they provide for free. It comes out extremely fresh with lots of chopped up garlic, which is my favorite part of garlic bread. It was a great way to start the dinner off. The service was great and the waiters were extremely attentive. They regularly checked up on how we felt about the food and filled up our drinks. The restaurant was pretty empty while we were dining, but the space was laid out very nicely and the decor was beautiful. Would come again if it wasn't so far!

The half bbq ribs had really good flavor and were the right amount of ultra greasy and salty to hit the 'guilty food' spot. The half chicken was a bit dry. The steaks were good, little chewy but that's just the cut of meat. There was a ton of rice and beans, and a vinegary sauce. We liked the fried banana too. Overall it was very filling. Ingredients probably not the highest quality, but this will feed a big family and was not too expensive.
