My husband and I came to this steakhouse for Valentine's Day dinner--it was our first time. We made…read morea reservation for 9:00 PM and were seated by 9:03 PM. I even received a rose for the occasion! However, we waited 10 minutes before someone finally approached us and asked, 'Is anyone helping you? Are you okay with tap water?' I understand it was a busy Valentine's Day weekend, but I expected a proper greeting rather than just being asked about tap water. When she brought the water, she asked if it was our first time. We said yes, expecting a brief explanation of the restaurant's concept. Instead, she just said, 'Technically, the meats will come to you, and you can go to the market and get anything you want. That's our special for tonight, you can go ahead and head over to the marketplace.' We went to the 'marketplace,' and it was delicious! We tried several items, and everything was tasty and fresh. Salads. Cold cuts. Rice. Beans. Zero complaints there. Back at the table, the gauchos began bringing the meats--filet mignon, picanha, sausage, bacon-wrapped steak, chicken, and lamb. Everything was cooked to perfection. The service, however, stayed subpar. My mango caipirinha arrived five minutes later, but my husband's Coke never showed up. We waited all dinner for it and never received it. Our waitress only came back once because we flagged her down for water, and then again for the check. Even the tables around us were wondering where she was. This was extremely disappointing!!! Zero smiles or a nice tone from Her. The food was delicious (5 stars), but the service she provided was definitely 0 stars. I want to come back for the food, but the service is making me think twice. Mi esposo y yo vinimos a este steakhouse para la cena de San Valentín; era nuestra primera vez. Teníamos una reservación a las 9:00 PM y nos sentaron a las 9:03 PM. Incluso recibí una rosa por la ocasión. Sin embargo, esperamos 10 minutos hasta que alguien se acercó y nos preguntó: '¿Alguien los está atendiendo? ¿Está bien agua del grifo?'. Entiendo que era fin de semana de San Valentín, pero siento que debieron habernos saludado formalmente en lugar de solo preguntar por el agua. Cuando trajo el agua, preguntó si era nuestra primera vez. Dijimos que sí, esperando una breve explicación del restaurante. En cambio, ella solo dijo: 'Técnicamente, las carnes llegarán a su mesa y pueden ir a la barra y servirse lo que quieran. Ese es nuestro especial de hoy. Ok, pueden pasar al marketplace'. Fuimos al 'marketplace' y estaba delicioso. Probamos varias cosas y todo estaba muy rico y fresco; cero quejas sobre el buffet. De vuelta en la mesa, los meseros empezaron a traer las carnes: filet mignon, picanha, salchicha, carne con tocino, pollo y cordero. Todo estaba a la perfección. Sin embargo, el servicio dejó mucho que desear. Mi caipirinha de mango llegó a los cinco minutos, pero la Coca-Cola de mi esposo nunca llegó. La esperamos toda la cena y nunca la trajeron. La mesera solo regresó una vez porque la llamamos para pedir más agua y luego para la cuenta. Incluso en las mesas de al lado preguntaban dónde estaba ella. La comida estuvo deliciosa (5 estrellas), pero el servicio que ella brindó definitivamente fue de 0 estrellas. Quiero volver por la comida, pero el servicio me hace dudar.

The establishment closes at 10pm but was still willing to seat all of us at 9:30pm the service was quick they tried there best to give us a proper experience before closing and asked if there were any specific meats that we wanted to try. I appreciate how hard the staff worked to make the most of the night and it was a great experience. I can't wait to come back and give the restaurant a proper try. Thank you to the hardworking staff for making this a great birthday.

I like to support all of the ethnic establishment on Long Island, since there aren't enough of them; especially if they're family-owned! First, the Cafe: Their menu (see my photos) is extensive: Fresh pulp juices, Brazilian snacks, burgers sandwiches, Tapas, sweets and fresh breads! There is so much to explore here! I wasn't particularly hungry on the day I went, so opted to try two of their snacks; while my friend tried a burger and cheese breads: -- Frango com Catupiry (chicken w.cheese) ($6.23): this is a traditional Brazilian snack item filled with shredded chicken and cheese. This was mildly seasoned (maybe too mild) but packed with chicken and cheese. Very rich and heavy. Don't forget to ask for their green sauce and hot sauce to go with this. -- Carne e Queijo Pastel (beef & cheese) ($6.23): this snack item was made to order and freshly fried to perfection. The beef and cheese were mildly spiced (again, maybe too mild for me) but went well with the tomato relish they served with it. Ask for their green and hot sauces! -- X-Pichanha ($18): The person who had this Pichanha burger loved it! It's a rather large burger, and came with fries. Half was taken home. They said they would order this again! -- Pão de queijo (Brazilian Cheese Bread) (.70¢ each): the person who had this loved it so much, they ordered more to take home! The Market: Right next door to the Cafe is a small market, packed with Brazilian treasures! Their shelves, fridge and freezer are filled with Brazilian goodness! They even have a butcher shop full of different meats and sausages! Bonus items: bathing suits and flip flops!!! lol Take your time to peruse the market and you'll be amazed at what unique things you come across! I must add that customer service & hospitality in both the Cafe and the Market, were outstanding!! So friendly, welcoming, accommodating, and helpful! Welcome to the neighborhood!! I look forward to many return visits!

They have a cold food area where you can grab whatever you want. We got there at 11:30am but the hot food like rice, beans and potatoes weren't ready until 12pm which was fine because it was worth the wait! Food was so flavorful, the meats just kept coming and it kept us full quick! They come to your table with tons of different meats for you to try. Staff were very friendly and efficient. My only critic was that when they were slicing the meat for us, some of the juices did spill onto the table and on my pants. I know it was an accident but it did leave the table alittle messy. Otherwise this place was amazing, very high end, clean and professional!

A special shoutout to Jenny Melo, affectionately known as "Jenny from Around the Corner." She was warm, welcoming, funny, and made our celebration even more memorable. Our servers, Michelle and Danny, were attentive and efficient, always making sure we had everything we needed. The food was outstanding. We especially loved the spicy steak, pork belly with honey, sweet plantains, polenta, and the warm pão de queijo. The gauchos were friendly and made sure we never had to wait for our favorite selections. What impressed me most was that everyone in our party of seven found something they loved, from adults and teens to a first-time 11-year-old guest. The complimentary birthday dessert was a thoughtful touch that made the birthday boy feel extra special. My only complaint is that I wish I had a bigger stomach so I could have gone back for seconds! We were a party of 7 and had a 10-star experience. Thank you to Jenny, Michelle, Danny, and the entire team for helping make this birthday celebration so memorable.

Just…read moredays before, my friend sent me the picture I posted from us 10 years ago when we started the tradition. The meats hit the same. I still get the mixed kebab because the all you can eat is way too much for me. Don't sleep on the collard greens. I would order an extra serving so you can mix them with eggs in the morning. Did we wait an hour for our table? Yes, but it was well worth it. There was a spot at the bar where we can chill and all catch up with the peeps we hadn't seen in a min. It was nice to have that time because there was silence when we sat and got our food. We were hungry. One thing I will say, they took away the bowls of olives. I mean I was probably the only one that looked forward to them, so I get it. But holla at me if you feel the same way. Until next year Carvalhos

They do not take reservations on the weekends so be prepared to wait 35-40 minutes for a table since it tends to get packed in the evening. They do have a big bar to have a drink and wait in the meantime. The staff is very friendly and attentive which I loved, they made sure our table was clean and our drinks were filled. Now the food, their appetizers that they bring to the table were just ok; the sweet plantains, rice and beans were pretty good. The French fries were undercooked which no one at the table touched. The salad could have used a little more color but the dressing was really good. The meats themselves were good but could better. I really enjoyed their picanha; it was cooked a perfectly medium. It was juicy and flavorful. The chicken legs and turkey wrapped in bacon were so delicious and well seasoned. When it came to the skirt steak, short ribs and other cuts of meat, I felt like they were on the drier side and not as tasty. They never asked how we liked it cooked (medium or well done) so we just got whichever temperature they were served. I was also disappointed they didn't have chicken hearts since I always look forward to those when I go to a rodizio. Each person rodizio is $54 which is definitely on the higher end and the prices on their website are outdated. I would probably not return; there are more affordable rodizio with higher end cuts.

I needed a treat. Something different. So I said you know what... let me try Texas de Brazil. I went on a Monday--figured it wouldn't be packed, no reservation needed. And it's just me... table for one. Now let me be clear--I'm not trying to spend an arm and a leg. I got cocktail dresses, wigs, and heels to fund So I went with the salad area buffet. Unlimited salad and charcuterie? I'm good with that. It's $31.99 and you get three sides included. They gave me fried banana--I thought it was plantains. Nope. A whole yellow banana, fried in sugar till it caramelized. Baby... AMAZING. You also get delicious crispy fries and creamy, silky mashed potatoes with a little skin in there. They were so good. They also give you a basket of Brazilian cheese bread. Salad is salad--your usual suspects. Romaine, spring mix, all the fixings. But I wasn't there for that. I was there for the charcuterie And they did not disappoint. A whole spread--cheeses, cured meats, olives, hearts of palm, roasted peppers, marinated artichokes. Fresh mozzarella, manchego, goat cheese, salami, prosciutto... Also pineapple carpaccio. The thinnest slices of pineapple fried in sugar for a delicious glaze. Was a good palate cleanser to combat the saltiness of the charcuterie. I could have eaten the whole platter. If you want to see the entire spread go to the website. But what got me? Smoked salmon. They had me at smoked salmon. Add some red onions and capers? I'm sitting there feeling like somebody's Bubbe Oh--and yes, they had linen napkins and actual water glasses. Real cute. Shame there were no linen tablecloths though... I love that kind of detail. Please look into it. I washed it all down with caipirinhas--had the traditional lime and the strawberry. Both did what they were supposed to do. They even serve their soda in wine glasses. Fancy AF lol Service? Amazing. From the hostesses to my server, Deliah--she was a doll. Answered all my questions like a pro. I left full and happy. Ngl the meats did look delicious. So one day I'll bite the bullet and get the full experience. I did order dessert. I got the pecan coconut pie. Didn't taste much coconut but it was good. PS: The bathroom? Clean and FABULOUS. Something about a full door stall that goes all the way up to the ceiling... yeah, that does it for me

I'd like to make recommendations to make this restaurant better than what I consider a 3 star…read morereview. Keep the reservations that are made to less than a 15 minute wait upon arrival. Ours was 30 minutes to be seated. Keep a front house manager actually verifying that guests are satisfied. Deliver the food as stated if you tell the table Medium rare, don't bring medium well, to well done. Verify that the noise level isn't increased by the music being too loud. Don't run out of drinks. Invest in blinds so that the cars parking don't shine their headlights through the windows. Make sure the waiters make eye contact with the guests, don't let them walk away from the table and not serve everyone. Verify that the food being served is not being over seasoned and is the correct temperature. The salad bar was good ! Make sure the grease catchers are emptied, ( they spilled grease on my pants ) Fix the bathroom doors, both men's and women's doors are being blocked open and that is not classy. I want to bring my family ( party of six ) back, but these deficiencies cannot continue.
