    Shoutout to Kevin for the wonderful service and the restaurant itself is gorgeous, and honestly, the food looks stunning when it hits the table. It's very aesthetic and perfect for photos, but unfortunately, the taste was not on par. I got the "Silver Experience" which was $99 a person. Given all the options, it sounds like it would have been a sweet deal. However, the sushi felt like it had been sitting out (stale rice, mushy fish), and the meats were too salty for my liking. I also never got to try some of the items as the rounds were never made to my table. The desserts were decent, but I wish they had more options there too. Overall, I'd likely not return and rather spend the money on Chima or Fogo that is close by.

    Still in their "soft opening" stage I believe because things are still a bit new. Parking garage is right around the corner so convenient : checked! Decor was beautiful, they had a hard time finding our reservations so it took 2 person but was able to seat us after! Menu was carefully explained, we chose the silver menu which is about $99 per person! The meat kept coming constantly which is a good thing, and servers are sweet but they talk a bit fast! My fav was the duck breast, it was cook to perfection! They also have a sushi bar and dessert. While it was pretty, I did not love most of the items on the sushi bar as the food was a bit dry! Overall, I would not go again! The esperience was nice to try but I would prefer the food to be a bit better and steaks to be less cooked and more on the medium rare side!

    Still in their "soft opening" stage but I have been here three times in the past month! They offer $5 valet but there's also a garage around the corner--it's closed but a sensor will open the gate when you pull up (first two hours are free). Decor inside the restaurant is gorgeous--has a fancy feel, energetic vibe with lots of bright & colorful lights and cute Japanese theme decorations. Dennis & Corey were both great servers--friendly and attentive! Managers on duty came around to check up as well. During my first visit, service was a bit slow, but it has much improved. Food was delicious! They offer different experiences but I have only ordered off the à la carte menu. Would recommend the Karaage do Brazil, Beef Gyoza, Osaka Oyster Rockefeller, Wagyu Prosciutto Skewer, Lobster Tempura, Wagyu Fried Rice, Bone Marrow Pasta and Uni Pasta. Everything is well flavored, but portions are on the smaller side. If you are a meat lover, I also recommend The Churasuko Tasting Experience ($125) which offers six different Wagyu cuts and lamb chop--each meat was 2 oz. and was shared among four people in addition to several à la carte dishes and was plenty of food. Cocktails/shots were tasty, the bartenders definitely hit the mark on them! They have three desserts--all pretty good but my favorite is the Amazon Four Milk Cake. We celebrated a birthday and they brought out lit sparklers which was super cool and great for pics! Once the restaurant has its grand opening and finalizes more food & cocktails options, I'm sure this place will do well--will have to come back again soon!

    Our server, Cue, was very accommodating and direct with every task we asked her to do. She provided very good intel on which food she enjoyed most, and she was not mistaken at all! We tried every meat that was passing us. Even the ones who cut the steak were very accommodating as they asked us what kind of steak we wanted, and they really did bring it out. The place was very cozy and elegant all at the same time. I thought I was in a different world when my family and I went inside and we just focused on our family time. Overall this place was amazing. Worth every penny!

    We went for dinner at Churasuko - a Brazilian Japanese restaurant that opened some time last month. We had a reservation but when we arrived, we were told that we either had to wait or sit at the bar until a table becomes available, so we sat at the bar. Well, it took over 45 minutes for that said table to be available (again, we had a reservation). We were supposedly seated at a VIP table - that VIP table is a high top with uncomfortable chairs and a table that could barely fit the serving plates. For food, we ordered the Churasuko Experience Menu - a big, large, expensive mistake. The Half Moon Canoe was great. The foam on the Oyster Tsunami was unnecessary. The sashimi was okay but definitely not the best cuts. The chawanmushi was overwhelming and not the comforting dish I'm used to having. The miso lobster bisque was good but took too long to arrive. The wagyu cuts - I honestly couldn't tell them apart. They all tasted the same to me and most of it were overcooked - a waste of wagyu (if the meat was even authentic wagyu). The lamb was the only item that tasted differently. Oh, the entrees come with a salt and sauce container that was the weirdest container I have ever seen. A simple salt cellar would have been fine. The chimichurri tasted like it came out of a jar. The service was mixed. We had two servers wearing Japanese robes. One server, Victoria, seems to know the food well. The ambiance was probably perfect for a bar but not for a steakhouse. The place is definitely Instagrammable. Whoever planned this place prioritized aesthetics over food quality but unfortunately I don't like spending for appearances. I am usually very considerate when reviewing restaurants that just opened but I need to warn future diners - go some place else with a Michelin star if you have $200 to spend.

    Pickled vegetables for the wagyu meats
    Alice P.

    TL;DR - overcooked meat, inconsistent staff knowledge, awkward/mumbling servers, wobbly tables, impractical offerings; absolutely not reflective of nor worth the price point and will not come back. Kinda upset we actually spent so much on a mid experience. But the staff are super kind. -- Highly disappointed after looking forward to this. It's clear that the restaurant favors aesthetics and gimmicks over actual quality, food and service. Note also that a good portion of the 5 star reviews here are either for the express takeout or are from dummy accounts with only one review. Food: the meat was overcooked! See my attached pictures. All well-done and tough with the exception of two of the cuts. The menu also doesn't describe any of the items, so good luck finding out what a "half moon canoe" is or what's in a "Rio trio tartlet" without making your server tell you. Nothing in the online menus either. Service: while kind, the servers didn't seem to know their own menu. Everyone also weirdly mumbled and it was difficult to understand them. One of the people who brought the meats to our table dropped the meat on my (dirty!) napkin and just picked it up and put I on my plate lol. Overall quality: our table was wobbly, which proved difficult when we were cutting our meats. The water was lukewarm/room temperature for some reason. The hostess failed to mention that being seated at the high top tables means you can't get AYCE. Or so our server said. But then I overheard another high top table ordering AYCE. There are inconsistencies in staff knowledge. The salt tower/tray thing was also cute but impractical; you can't actually dip your meat in it. The chimichurri also tasted like pickled celery or something that honestly didn't go well with the meat. The good things: The aesthetics, from the interior decor to the plateware, are vibe-y and instagrammable. The complimentary Brazilian cheese bread starter with 3 different butters was cute. Ample free parking is available in the garage for Lumen apartments. Soda refills are free as opposed to per bottle/can (except for the Brazilian soda). The miso lobster bisque and the half moon canoe were pretty good. A single order of the $125 churasuko tasting experience is plenty for two people alongside some side orders. The meat comes with pickled vegetables, which cleansed the palate. People will fall for the Instagrammable gimmick but the quality is not it for the price point.

    Churasuko is a Brazillian-Japanese restaurant located near Tysons corner. I was excited to try their soft opening during their first weekend opening but unfortunately had to reschedule to a future date. Dined in with a party of 4 for dinner. We were seated right away and the server and the host both explained the menu to us. They have two menu options. 1. A la carte option where you just order individual items off the menu. For this, if you want meat, you have to order the $125 tasting experience. For the tasting experience, they serve 7 cuts of wagyu 2 oz each. It is good for two people to share. 2. The Churasuko Experience: it is a prix fixe but the meats are unlimited. Everyone has to get one or the other. We went for the a la carte option. They start you off with a Brazilian cheese bread with 3 types of butter. Gochujang, miso and black sesame. I ordered a Hojicha tea and it came in a hot kettle with a little espresso cup. It was nice to sip on the tea without it going cold. I don't think the server knew what Hojicha was since I repeated myself a few times just to get a blank stare. We ordered the chawanmushi, uni and bone marrow pasta, wagyu fried rice, chicken karaage, and omakase baller. The omakase baller had to be my least favorite. The rice was undercooked and hard. I could taste the plastic wrap used to make these into balls. The chawanmushi had a soft egg with strong umami flavors, but it was seasoned a bit too heavily. The chicken karaage was tender and came with a sweet sauce. It was garnished with a fried enoki mushroom. The end part of the mushroom with the dirt was still on it. The bone marrow pasta came in a stone bowl and they scraped the marrow off the bone at the table and squeezed the lemon for us too. The pasta has a lot of nori on it almost like a nori pasta. A bit of lemon juice got on a jacket which we just brushed off. The uni pasta looked identical to the bone marrow pasta, but just had uni on it. I think with all the wagyu and bone marrow flavors along with the rest of the meal, the uni flavor was too weak. The nori overpowered the dish. Wagyu fried rice had a good flavor with a lot of flavors of mushroom and wagyu. The rice was cooked well in this dish. Getting to the meats. We ordered two of the tasting experience. The meats came out in random order. They were all cooked really well. As you would expect from wagyu, everything was very rich. You get a mouthful of meaty, fatty flavor that dissolves in your mouth. Some cuts were meatier, some were very fatty and rich. I wish there was something to cut through all the fat content. Kimchi maybe? or something spicy. Ginger ale? Overall, I don't think we got anything that was refreshing and bright to compliment all the rich wagyu and fat. A salad or something citrus would have helped compliment the meats. I used the wasabi to eat with the wagyu. From reading other reviews of the soft opening, there seemed to be a positive experience. Some things that were off putting. The bench style seats made of leather made our butts stick to them. There was absolutely no sliding around and it was hard to maneuver in and out of those seats. The tables could have used much more space. The tabletop itself gets very cluttered quickly when you have too many plates and cups. The space in between tables for a different group was very tight. Churasuko is a newly opened business with a lot of new servers so a bit of patience is necessary. Overall, there is an excessive luxury feel, without the service and attention to detail to match. There is a parking garage shared with an apartment complex (Lumen) but free for two hours for retail. $8 if you go over 2 hours. They also have a valet parking for $5 for beyond 2 hours with tip.

    Soft opening and only serving food for carryout, I used the kiosk and I ordered the 13 sashimi platter ($39) and steak pad thai ($26) to go. I was able to watch them prepare the pad thai as they used all fresh ingredients minus the sauce concentrate that used which was a bit too salty. The sashimi was fresh and thick slices, I really enjoyed the portions. Overall the food was great. The interior looks nice but was not available to sit down yet

    The bar - eat on this floor - don't get their packages - they are a rip off

    Went here to celebrate my brother's birthday for the whole family because I wanted to check this place out after seeing it all over social media. Wow were we disappointed. We paid Michelin star prices for airport lounge food. That is how I can describe it. The silver and gold packages per person ARE NOT WORTH IT. They give you unlimited wine and beer but it's not wine you get to choose and they were out of the Japanese beer my brother wanted. They have house sake but you can't choose the sake you want. For the cost of what we paid per person (which includes tip) and the service reflects that. You could tell our server didn't want to come to our table very much at all. The only thing that blew me away with the gold package which is what we got was the grilled pineapple. The silver package sits you in the silver section with the silver buffet. The gold package sits you in the gold section with the gold buffet. You get the point so your party all has to do one of them...then there's the platinum which I will never find out about because it's NOT WORTH IT. I thought we were going to get lobster and oysters and all of the wagyu tacos I saw on instagram. I come to find out that is the à la carte menu and it is probably way cheaper than what we paid. The most disappointing thing was that we were told we were getting something called Australian and American Wagyus??? Yeah they were awful pieces of meat. I wanted the Japanese A5 Wagyu seared in front of me for $150 a person at a JAPANESE STEAKHOUSE. It's not the American steakhouse or the Australian steakhouse...it's Japanese...The Filet and Picanha were the softest pieces of meat they offered but even then I could have cooked and eaten better at home. Thank goodness the one great thing is that they didn't charge us for the 2 kids because there was no way they were going to eat $150 worth of food each. If they had charged us for the kids, it definitely would have been highway robbery. The sushi at their "airport lounge like buffet" wasn't great either. The sushi and seaweed salad was sitting out for awhile. It was my brother's birthday and we didn't get a cake- you could only choose 1 of 3 desserts from their buffet. I wanted to try the 4 milks cake but since we didn't know or do the à la carte we were limited to what they offered in the gold package. The ambience and vibes are cool. But definitely just stay downstairs and order off their menu. To do it right I would have gotten the first drink on the house for ladies at dusk and ordered from menu. I hate these kinds of steakhouses because you're always left feeling like you didn't get the quality -- you just got quantity. We felt defeated and I could have eaten better at Capital Grille or gone to a Michelin and at least would have felt more wow-ed! -after a $1,220 for 6 people, I honestly want my money back...

    Our beautiful take-home gifts

    Sorry for the late post. I was really excited when my husband surprised me with a birthday dinner reservation at Churasko last Saturday 3/28, but I'll admit I was a little nervous after seeing some mixed reviews on Yelp. Thankfully, our experience turned out to be absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, the host was warm, welcoming, and very patient as we figured out which dining option we wanted. She clearly explained the different experiences--from the churrasco and Wagyu offerings to the sushi and small plates--and gave us time to look over the menu without any pressure. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with great ambiance and music that really set the tone for a special night. My husband chose the Platinum Tier dining experience for my special occasion and it was worth it. Our server, Mike, truly made the entire evening unforgettable. From start to finish, he was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. He took the time to explain each dish, offered great recommendations, and made sure we were always taken care of. We started with Brazilian cheese bread, which was just okay, but the trio of flavored butters (gochujang, black sesame, and regular) was unique and delicious. Then came the Fire & Ice seafood tower, which was not only beautifully presented but also came with a dramatic tableside display. The grilled shrimp and oysters Rockefeller were excellent, and the chilled oysters and sashimi skewers were fresh and flavorful. The lotus chips on the side were also a nice touch. One dish that didn't quite hit for me was the lobster tempura--it was slightly salty and it was a bit soggy when I expected it to be crisp. However, the lobster bisque more than made up for it. It was hands down one of the best I've ever had--the broth was light but yet very rich and flavorful, perfectly executed!!! We were also served a shrimp egg custard that was interesting and enjoyable, though we were already starting to get full at that point! Then came the highlight: the unlimited premium meats. Everything from the A5 Japanese Wagyu to the lamb chops was delicious and high quality. The bone marrow pasta and Wagyu fried rice were standout favorites for us as well. The presentation throughout the entire meal was stunning--every dish felt thoughtfully crafted and visually beautiful. What truly made the night special, though, was Mike. He went above and beyond to make my birthday feel celebrated. He surprised me with all three desserts, a complimentary champagne toast, sparkles candles, and even two beautiful take-home gifts (a set of Japanese-style bowls like the ones used for the lobster bisque, with the restaurant's name on them). That level of thoughtfulness meant so much to us. We had so much food that we couldn't finish everything, and Mike kindly allowed us to pack up what we couldn't finished to take home. Overall, this was an incredible experience with outstanding service. Honestly, it was far better than when my husband took me to Hell's Kitchen a few years ago--we spent just as much there but received nowhere near the level of service or even a simple birthday acknowledgment. Highly recommend Churasko, and if you can, ask for Mike--he will take amazing care of you!

    We had the gold tier buffet with Wagyu upstairs. The sashimi and salad bar was pleasing to the eye but the quality was lacking. Desserts such as ube cake and raspberry mousse did not live up to our expectations. Wagyu cuts were good but we felt it didn't come around as often although manger asked us if there's any particular cut we wanted so service was pretty good. However because it was buffet, our server was not as attentive to us, our water was never filled unless we asked twice. Wagyu and butter mochi bread was pretty good but for the price I would just go to fogo or chima tbh. I did hear good reviews for platinum course meal downstairs but I am not too enticed to come back from this first experience.

    Opened at 12 and at 1230 with no one else seated in this area of the restaurant food spills from night before?

    Opened in January at the base of the Lumen apartment building. Free garage parking for up to 2 hours around the backside. Take elevator to 1* to street level and walk around to the left to the front door beyond the ramp leading to the takeout counter. Decor is really nice. Service is friendly. Food is okay. For those working in the office buildings surrounding the Tysons BORO area, this is in the opposite direction than we would normally go and feels secluded from the BORO area. I came mid-day for lunch, but I got the impression that the decor and lighting would be much more appealing for an evening experience here, plus, this is a Japanese and Brazilian steakhouse so come hungry and ready to try it all. For reservations you notice they having a particular naming convention established at varying price points, best to review those on their website before making the reservation online. If you call, the hostess will gladly provide you all the details. Again, friendly service here. Bottom line: If you're craving a Brazilian steakhouse, but not their usual buffet of salads and sides, come here for the steak AND the buffet of Sushi beautifully displayed instead. I'll be back in a couple of months for dinner and provide an update.

    Nebi was absolutely amazing. We sat on the second floor and did the gold experience. It was fantastic. We have very discerning taste when it comes to meat and it was very high quality. Recommendation , don't fill up on the sushi bar. Not worth it. Overall great experience! Would do it again

The vibe was…read morenice, but I felt like service fell below what I had expected. 3.5/5 First and foremost, parking is either self parking in the garage for $8 or valet for $3. We had a family event of approximately 36-40, and 4 waiters to attend to our party. I think it would be better if they split the waiters by section- I felt it was disorganized - I had to ask for the drink menu 3x and waited 20 minutes. They also took our dessert order but then my mom and I never got ours- but the waiter said he brought everything out (there was nothing served to us), and he did eventually bring it out about 25-30 min later when we were leaving. It seems like they bring around the meat selections speedily for about 30-45 min (it's like one immediately after the other) and then it's finished- so make sure you get the selections within those first 30-45 min. But they did bring some meats back when people asked- so that was nice. The ribeye and filet were the best, I'd skip the chicken- super dry. Desserts were average to subpar. Cosmo was watered down but the espresso martini was good! I think I'll try again as just a smaller party/regular dining guest and see how that goes. Overall, felt like it was ok but room for improvement. Service was the biggest thing that overshadowed the experience.

The salad bar was plentiful and had a good mix of toppings. We really loved the smoked Salmon and beef carpaccio. They also had hot side dishes and steak sauces available. Our favorite was scallop potatoes. In terms of meats which is the star of the show, we loved the Cajun Lamb, Cajun ribeye, salmon with cilantro sauce, and grilled pineapple with cinnamon. We underwhelmed with the beef rib because it tasted more like pot roast. All the other options were solid and truly no bad bites at all. Loved the experience and will be back!

Fabricio anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. He made outstanding recommendations, and checked on us at just the right times without ever being intrusive. His warm personality, attention to detail, and passion for providing excellent hospitality truly set him apart. The food at Fogo de Chão was fantastic, but Fabricio's outstanding service is what made this visit unforgettable. He is a true asset to the restaurant and deserves to be recognized for going above and beyond. I will absolutely be returning, and I hope to have Fabricio as my server again. Thank you for delivering such an exceptional dining experience!

    Sadly we returned here and I don't really know why. And no matter how many times we talked to…read moremanagement nothing ever changes. It's just like the bare minimum of things that they could do to improve the service at this restaurant and unfortunately, it just never happens. As other guests have mentioned, the service at this restaurant is quite terrible. We are paying $67 a person and barely get someone to refill our water. My husband kept going up to get a clean plate himself (something that the servers used to do ) while we see two of our alleged servers standing by talking to each other. I'm sorry, but if they have time to chitchat, then they probably have time to help the guests. We were there on a Saturday night and I just can't understand the indifference of the servers. We have probably been to this location about a dozen times and the service just keeps getting worse and worse. Now we are at the point where we're wondering why we would ever come back. I ordered a glass of wine and of course had to remind them to bring it, and the server looked at me curiously like oh right I forgot about that. ???Throughout the service there were at least three or four different people who helped us and I have no idea who actually was our main server. The gauchos repeatedly passed us by. I don't really understand the method to how they go to the tables. Also, all they kept coming by was with chicken, chicken and more chicken. Very minimal beef options. I understand inflation is out of control, but guess what you keep raising costs. So maybe stay on par with what you're charging and what you're offering. The biggest stressor of the night was trying to get the heck out of here. I am part of the rewards program and we were there to use one of our rewards, which I told one of the four servers and apparently he had no idea what I was talking about now this goes back to paragraph one. If you have a rewards program, shouldn't that be something that the servers are trained on? So anyway they ran my bill without the reward and then had to get a manager involved to figure it out. But this time it took about 30 minutes just to close my tab. Mind you the waiter had the audacity to ask me to close it out quickly because he was going to be switched to a different area. Now, dude, I would love to if somebody would help me!! Like um, you? It took me at least 15 min to even flag someone down. We will not be back to this location. Maybe we'll try a different Fogo, but we have just about had it with this one. It is not a pleasant experience when yes, you are paying a flat rate, but it doesn't mean you should sacrifice service.

    1 Star is too much -- Very disappointing experience…read more We were really excited to try this restaurant because we were hoping for an authentic Argentinian dining experience. Unfortunately, it was nothing like what we expected, and the food was extremely disappointing. Then I found out the owner is Bolivian not even Argentinian. The chimichurri was red and had a very different taste than what we expected. The green hot sauce was basically like eating raw jalapeño--extremely overpowering. The mashed potatoes were watery and very salty, and the broccoli was literally sitting in so much water that almost half of the bowl was full of it. The rice tasted like microwave rice, and the French fries were just ordinary fries. The biggest disappointment was the meat. It was extremely fatty, chewy, and had almost no flavor. The chicken was overcooked and tasted like leftovers that had been reheated. For an Argentinian restaurant, the quality and preparation of the meat should be one of the highlights, but unfortunately, it was the complete opposite. Honestly, we could barely eat our food and ended up leaving most of it. What made the experience even worse was that, despite barely being able to eat the food, we were still charged half of the meal. The total bill was over $85, and that included $5 for a small cup of what tasted like microwave rice. Just in case the food looks half-empty in the pictures, we did put some of the food onto our plates to try it. Unfortunately, we couldn't eat it, so that's why some of the containers look partially empty. As someone who was genuinely looking forward to trying Argentinian food, this experience was incredibly disappointing. In my opinion, this restaurant does not represent the quality or flavors that people expect from Argentinian cuisine. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant, and I would not return.

The service was excellent and accommodating. I was impressed because I know large groups can be difficult to wait on, so was very pleased with the service and how quick they were to get our orders in and us served. We ordered a variety of appetizers, such as the the empanadas, calamari, and garlic shrimp. My favorite items were the empanadas and calamari, which were extra tasty with the accompanying sauces. We also ordered a variety of grilled meats, including the two large Parrillada meat platters and picanha . The accompanying sides we tried were the fries, cheese rice, fried yucca, and plantains. I really liked the plantains, but the cheese rice was not was I expected. It was more like grits than cheesy rice. The meats were cooked to how we requested it, and of course tastes especially good with the sauces. My favorite cuts were the strip steak, beef rib, and picanha. I didn't really care for the sweet breads, but that is a personal preference. Value wise, the Parrillada platters could easily feed 4 - 5 people, so we had plenty of leftovers. I would definitely recommend checking out La Estancia if you enjoy grilled meats!

It was a Saturday dinner and good thing I went early because by the end of my meal, this place got packed. The service, the food, the atmosphere at Trio is all phenomenal. My server Edlow provided excellent service as well as the rest of the Trio team. I tried the bison steak, and my wife got the beef bolognese pasta. The bison has cumin as a seasoning so it may taste a bit spicy, but it wasn't overwhelming. We also tried several sides as well. All the food here was delicious. My server brought us champagne and ginger ale on the house as well as a dessert to celebrate our special occasion. There was a live pianist filling the place with a jazzy vibe. The interior was clean and on the cooler side. There is a large bar area with seating there. Outdoor seating is also available. I will definitely be back in the future.

We didn't feel like driving into DC for a birthday dinner so we decided to finally go to TRIO. With so many accolades we are all expecting alot... Upon entering we wait a few minutes as nobody is at the front of the house. It's a nice looking place...I'd say its more casual than I thought it would be with an expansive bar on the left side with TVs and the dining area to the right. On to the food... French Onion Soup - Decent..not the best we've had but I thought it was good. Others thought it was a bit on the sweet side Tuna Tartare Nachos - Not too impressed Dry Aged Roasted Chicken - Tasty dish with mashed potatoes...comforting New York Strip - Good steak..cooked well but think it could have been seasoned better. For $52 you are getting into the realm of Capital Grille, Randys which I think have better flavor Crab Cakes - Good amount of crab...the son really enjoyed it. Fries were spot on. Overall giving 3.5 stars...Food is good but perhaps we were expecting more with the 4.5 rating on Yelp.

    Disappointing Experience with the Final Bill…read more We had a great time at Ruth's Chris overall and really enjoyed the food and the service throughout the evening. Unfortunately, the way our final bill was handled significantly impacted our experience. When reviewing the bill, I noticed that we had been charged for champagne that the restaurant had provided to us complimentary. I brought this to the waiter's attention, and that charge was removed. However, after the bill had already been paid, we discovered that we had also been charged for three entrees that were already included as part of our pre-fixe meal. This was very disappointing. We had a large dinner party, and the waiter received a $300 tip, so I would have expected the bill to be carefully reviewed before it was presented to us to ensure that we were being charged correctly. Having to identify multiple incorrect charges ourselves made us question whether the bill was being thoroughly reviewed before being given to the customer. After dinner, I emailed the restaurant regarding the additional overcharges and never received a response. I called the following day and spoke with a manager, who stated that she planned to refund the money. However, I still have not received written confirmation of the refund or an apology for the billing errors. The food and service were good, but billing accuracy and customer follow-up are also an important part of the dining experience, especially for a large and expensive dinner. I hope the restaurant addresses this situation and improves its billing and follow-up process so other customers do not have a similar experience.

It may sound unusual, but it is surprisingly tender and flavorful. It comes in a delicious stew served over stewed potatoes and rice. The steak is tasty, although the cut of meat could be better. It is served with a salad and topped with an egg. The Queperi is essentially beef brisket served with cheesy rice, fried plantains, and yuca. It is a delicious and satisfying plate. If you like hot dogs or sausage, try the Pique Macho. It is a huge plate of sautéed beef and sliced sausage cooked with onions, finished with slightly cooked tomato wedges and topped with jalapeños. The beef and sausage sit over a bed of steak fries, and all of the flavorful juices soak into the fries, giving them an incredible flavor. The downside is that some of the meat is a bit tendonous, but the overall flavor is very good and the dish is definitely worth trying. The Lomo Saltado is another good choice. The flavor is quite good, and the portion is generous. They also have a bakery section with Napoleons and a variety of Bolivian baked goods, including cheese bread. Everything we tried tasted fresh and was pretty good. Overall, there are lots of interesting Bolivian dishes to try here, and the generous portions make it a good place to explore different flavors.
