I believe this place has just opened as the signage is poor. It's easy to miss unless you know exactly where it is. The exterior is very unassuming but it's quite nice inside. The service staff were quite good, and the food as well. Go hungry if you're going to visit as it's easy to over indulge. Would reco. read more

I have been to the CopaCabana before at different locations so was happy to make a reservation for 18 people for my husband's 70th birthday. We arrived on time and shown to a table with other people still sitting. When I said we don't know these people the girl said oh I thought you were with that party. It when downhill from there. I had a reservation for more than a month. They seated us finally at a table for 16 between the kitchen and bathroom. I thought it was setup for 18 until our guests all arrived and we squished them all in. The waitress was non existent. My party wanted drinks and the drinks that were delivered were wrong. We tried to flag her down during the dinner to get a drink. The food was like trying to catch a flying fish. The waiters were rude when I tried to catch one to serve us. Twice waiters came by served two people then said I will be right back... never to be seen again. One dropped his serving plate on the floor when I flagged him down that he was supposed to come back he rudely told me I wouldn't go hungry and he would be back...yet again. I heard there was cornbread.. we didn't get any.. fried bananas...nope and chicken. We never saw any of those. When we asked for our cake to be brought to the table it was brought in minus the little torch we had brought and thrown down in front of the wrong person. The plates and forks were also thrown in a heap on the other table. The bill certainly came fast enough. I resent having to give a $200 tip to rude indifferent staff. From the reception desk to the waitress to the food servers. Shame on you CopaCabana. You ruined a milestone birthday party. Update. A very nice man "John Paul" from head office contacted me and made it right. Thank you for your understanding and making me believe that your chain does believe in customer satisfaction read more

I had a horrible time at the Eglinton location a few years back. My fiancee was dying for some Brazilian Steakhouse and we were elated that there was a new location to give another try to. I was thoroughly impressed! We went at 4:30 in the afternoon on a Saturday so it was not busy at all... But there was absolutely zero issues with the meats, hot table, salad bar or the service. I will be back for sure! read more

I've been a big fan of copa since they opened downtown and am pleased to see another open up in the Woodbridge area. Actually booked this restaurant for a private dinner for my wedding earlier in the year and had great service, food and communication with the manager for my event. Been there twice since with friends and was not disappointed, the food is great, though I wish they changed it up every once and a while I've been dining at copa for a few years and I don't think they e changed anything on the menu. But the variety you get is still delicious, personally I love any of the steak cuts with cheese! Not a fan of the piripiri as it kind of just tastes like steak in green salsa. Lots of good food coming around though. Decent side buffet, the mac and cheese is not very good but it's more of an incentive to eat as much steak as you can handle. Very busy at dinner time like the other locations, I would definitely try and book ahead to reserve a spot on busy nights/ times. read more

Great food, service was quick. The steak and quality of food was amazing for a busy Saturday night. Servers were attentive and asked if we had any requests. Salad bar was a bit lacking though. Pricey but definitely worth it. read more

Took my husband there for his bday. Absolutely amazing. Good food and service and while it's expensive - it's worth it.

The service needs to improve, They can take care of costumers better if they don't have a fixed tip. Food is salty, too many low quality beef cuts for the price. read more

Celebrated my man's 40th last night at Copacabana in Vaughan. It was our first time there and THE most amazing experience at a restaurant we have ever had. The food service was non stop. The servers were all so friendly, I was so amazed! Thanks for showing us all such a great time, and a thank you to our server (Ximena) for being extra awesome! We will definitely be back! read more

I recently came here for a business dinner. From the outside it looks like the restaurants closed since there are sheets of wood covering the outside. When you go inside, it's a beautiful restaurant. Which shows Coba since it's relatively close to Pearson airport. We started very early before 5 o'clock. We are the first ones there. I've been to other Brazilian steak houses so I know how this works. As with others we started in the salad bar. I was very surprised how fresh everything was. Maybe it was because we are the first ones there. The selection was quite small but I wasnt disappointed since I typically don't eat a lot of salad at steakhouses. Once we sat down with our salads, the meat start coming over. After about for five different meats, we did flip the card to the stop side so we can have our business conversation without being constantly interrupted. It surprised me that none of the meat servers even noticed that we flipped the cards. That was probably the only disappointment for being at this restaurant. Everything else is great. I have to say that in some the other Brazilian steakhouse is the meats didn't seem as fresh. Everything seem that was coming straight from the ovens and was well-prepared. Other than ignoring the flipped cards, service was great. read more

My fiance and myself went the day before Valentine's Day. Right away we hated the music which was too loud and like rave music. When I am paying $50 a plate I expect a fine dining experience; elegant with soft background music. This was loud like a bar and obnoxious. Most of the food in the "Galleria" that is supposed to be hot is warm to cold. The lasagna and the mac and cheese were slightly warm. I like cooked food to be hot. Most of the meat is very rare; I prefer well done. They did their best to prepare some well done meat for me and I appreciate that. What I had was very good however I expected to see all of the varieties on the website menu. That didn't happen. They serve the meat on skewers cutting off for each person the portion that they want. Unfortunately some of those skewers were gone before the server made it to our table. We were never served 1/3 of the menu items which was disappointing. There was no Cajun or Ginger chicken or salmon. Don't go here unless you like very rare meat, lukewarm fries and pasta and loud rave style music. A small glass of Chardonnay was $14.00!!!! A Caesar was $11.00!!! 25.00 plus tax and tip for 2 drinks??? What a rip off!!! read more

We made reservations for dinner for a party of 6 people and we did not get seated until 20 minutes later, and the hostesses did not do anything about it and just continued socializing with other coworkers. The food and the entertainment were good though. read more

Went to CopaCabana in Vaughan with my husband and have to say we were both impressed with the food and service! Would definitely be going back again. read more

Overrated, overpriced, understaffed. Toro in Richmond Hill better atmosphere & food. Asked manager 2 times to send servers around with meat, when they did come only served half the table and argued what sliver of meat they would serve. All the waiters/tress try to do is fill you up with drinks as to not ask for anymore food. NEVER AGAIN read more

Let me get this straight, I email to make reservations 2 weeks prior and I call 2 days before to check, turns out there's no table for me. Birthday dinner plans ruined. I get an email back a week later implying I made a typo for November instead of October. Come on what type of service is this, it doesn't take a genius to check the date of an email. I'm usually not the type to give negative feedback but this is beyond careless from what I've experienced. read more

The food here was excellent. The quality of service was top-notch they really took great care of us it is very pricey but it was a premium experience read more

We chose this restaurant for Father's Day and what a disappointment. Our waitress was horrible barely came to check on us and when she did could barely hear her cause the music was so loud. I felt like I was 19 at a downtown Toronto club. When we asked our waitress for special orders she never communicated it to the kitchen. The guys walking around with the meat would ask if we wanted anything special and when we asked, it would take forever to get it. We asked for the roasted pineapple and it never came until the guy remembered at the last minute and we were paying the bill to leave. Also I placed my plate to the side of the table so it could be taken away and one of the meat serving guys came up and pushed it almost right back at me into my lap. When he did this the plate pushed my dirty knife and fork onto my lap staining my clothes. I was not impressed and he didn't even apologize. We noticed other tables were getting served different desserts and we had to flag a girl down with fried bananas just to get some! When paying the bill I believe it was the manager that came with the machine and man it wouldn't hurt to crack a smile, the guy looked miserable and barely said two words to us and my mother in law was being nice and said everything was great but we really wanted to tell him the truth. Furthermore, the food was ok but not worth $50 a person. I know this place is new and hopefully there is room for improvement but all I can say is NEVER AGAIN for us, I can't bring myself to give them anymore money than I already have! read more

Waiters did not listen to requests, despite multiple reminders. Very dissatisfying meal. If you ask for grilled pineapple, expect to wait approximately 4 hours. read more

All the meat sort of tastes the same, very salty steak. The Parmesan cheese steak is horrible wouldn't recommend it and prices seem fair for how many different types of meats you get to try. Entertainment is also very good on weekends. Worth going to at least once to try. read more

This was my first time visiting the Vaughan location and I was not disappointed. The meat, both in terms of quality and variety, was phenomenal and the service was fantastic. I had also chosen this location as the place to propose to my girlfriend, and the manager (Slobie) and his team were happy to help. I prearranged a song to be played, for the dancers to present the ring to us and for a bottle of prosseco to be brought out afterwards. Slobie and his staff were fantastic and helped everything go off without a hitch. I've been twice since and it's been equally great. Highly recommended. read more

Fastest all you can eat dinner ever! We were done just under an hour and my party was so stuffed from having copious amounts of meat! They have a small buffet table with salad and hot food (mostly pasta and rice). The guys walk around with a meat selection on a stick. You can have as much or as little as you want. They were coming around literally every 1-2 mins. All the meat was delicious especially if you eat it hot right after they carve. The shrimp and pineapple (with cinnamon) was so sweet and tasty. Spicy chicken was juicy. Lamb was really good. Service was attentive, friendly and exceptional. Tip: You eat for free on your birthday if you're a party of 4 adults. read more

Love this restaurant and specially this location. This is our go to restaurant for big group dinners and we've never been disappointed. Service is always amazing. Management is incredible. And the food! Never ending meat! Unlike many Brazilian restaurants they don't save the good cuts for last when u r full and can't even eat another bite. A wide variety of all the meats including the premium cuts come out right away. read more

Came here twice with the same group of friends, both for our Christmas get-together. First time was a few years back and the second was a few days ago. The second time around, the service was sub-standard and flat out rude. Three stars given mainly because of the food and salad bar/condiments selection. Initially, the food came out fairly consistent and at a steady pace. Then about 30-40 minutes into dinner, the service just slowed right down even with our signal cards showing "more food!". We basically had to hail down the servers to get more meats. We were then asking for particular selections and one of the servers was grumpy and irritated. Literally told us that this side of the table wants this, and others want this, and you want this, SO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT. We get that it's busy. All we were asking was for certain cuts of meat whenever he got the chance. No need to be angry about it. Pretty sure we also didn't get to try all the different types of beef and chicken. Probably won't be coming back to this location any time soon. read more

The staff were great and so pleasant The food was mouthwatering and still on my mind. Will definitely come back again.

First time for my family and I, wanted to go for a long time , was not disappointed, very highly recommended to anyone who likes meat, plus the live entertainment was an added bonus, would definitely go back . Must comment on one particular server, as he was the only one that asked us if we wanted any particular meat and upon our request was very prompt in complying and also keep checking back to make sure that we were not in need of anything, service like this goes a long way, made our first time that more memorable. read more

Service and meats were amazing but the salad bar needs work. The AC in the back upper floor was extremely strong hitting us on the head and side making us cold and uncomfortable. read more

I would honestly avoid this location. Especially if you're bringing someone to get the real Copacabana experience. There were no performers, very small variety of meat, we were not informed that you had to special order certain items like salmon or shrimp. Items at the hot table where not hot and where not replenished frequently. it was also pretty difficult to get water refills. read more

We celebrated our daughter's birthday here on Jan. 2nd, 2017. The food was really good and our waitress Kenia was awesome. She was very friendly, attentive, and pleasant. We will definitely come back and ask to be seated in her section. read more

Before I start, I just want to say the meat looks really good and there's a variety in meats. Me and my cousin came here for a birthday but only had the appetizers and 1 beer each because we ate before we arrived. A server came to us before closing time and asked us to try the meat because it is $45 even if we just eat the appetizers and we would be wasting our money if we didn't have any meat. We assured her we didn't want any meat but she kept being pushy. This was our first time here and didn't know there was a different price for appetizers and the steak. We also arrived late and didn't receive and menus. So after we paid the $132 for 2 Ceasar salads and 2 drinks, our friends looked at out bill and noticed they charged us for the steak dinner instead of the appetizers. We only thought it was one price. In the end we spoke to a manager and she gave us the difference of what the appetizers cost and she just said she didn't know why the server would tell us it's only one price and walked away. We didn't care how much we spent, but by trying to get money out of us for something we didn't have just made us never go back there. read more

Best. Dining. Experience. Ever. Food was simply perfect, all staff was super nice and caring. We really liked fried bananas, so we were taking like a half of the writer's plate every time, so they brought us a plate of those bananas without us asking! The manager was working as hard as everyone else, which was nice to see. First time I left 20% tip, because there was absolutely nothing I didn't like! read more

Worst experience ever!!!!! We had 10 people and Spend over 90 bucks per each people with drink. No service at all. Less than 8 rounds of meat and not everyone gets them as well!!! The waitress are the worst too, every time ask for something or order a drink, she has the attitude that don't even give a damn. Never will I go there or recommend it to anyone ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Let me start by saying this was by far the worst experience I've had at a Copacabana. The food was fantastic and lived right up to our expectations, but the service was terrible. We were a table of five, we waited an hour and fifteen minutes for a table which would have been fine if we weren't offered the same table which fit four people and was available when we first got there. There was only three cups, no plates or cutlery on the table, the server didn't show up to greet us for about 15 minutes and proceeded to not give us any of the set up that should have been on the table even though we had started getting our meals. We only recieved three tongs for the duration of our meal even though we had asked for two more for the other people in our party. We complained to the manager about how we were unhappy with our visit, he kept trying to leave the table while I was talking, he ultimately offered to bring us dessert which happened to be a joke. Our 'server' brought us a cup with two coconut balls and a few blueberry with a garnish strawberry. Completely laughable for five people who were disappointed. I will continue to give my business to the other two locations. I will NEVER bring my business or recommend this location to anyone who I would want to enjoy their evening. By the way if the manager reads this... Thanks for the dessert! read more

Copa Cabana - Thanks for the dessert!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

best steakhouse ever!!!If you like meat and grilled things this restaurant is absolutely the best!!its just a little expensive but it really worth each cents you pey!!!dont forget to try the lasagna at the buffet its freaking delicious read more

Best bartender! Made the best gin martini (dirty) ever! This location had too notch service. Sometimes other copacabana locations can feel a bit pretencious... Not sure why. But this location has THE BEST vibe. This is an all you can eat restaurant. You need to 1) love eating steak and 2) love eating steak... These are different selections of meats.. The top favourites for me are: cheese stuffed prime rib, chimichuri, top sirloin, garlic sirloin, grilled pineapple. Bottles of wine start at $30. This is a great place to celebrate a birthday or special occasion. Reservations are highly recommended. There is also a 2hr seating limit so be mindful of that. On Friday and Saturday nights there are bellydancers- which make the experience all the more enjoyable. We used to travel to Niagara location but ever since finding about Vaughn this has become the go to spot. At first the location threw us off and we were concerned the place would not live up to our expectations set by the Niagara location...but after entering it definetly surpassed it! ' read more

My family and I had visited the new location 2 weeks ago to celebrate my mothers birthday. Outside of the restaurant hadn't even been completed as of yet, We were put into a room away in the corner with a few other families, it would have been great if we had decent service. One of the servers decided to fill my moms wine glass that already had wine in it with water, the servers came around with the meat but when it came time for us to take pieces of meat or shrimp they were out, and did not replenish. A lot of the servers seemed more interested with speaking with eachother rather than help the patrons, Not to mention to get to and from the bathroom (which is tucked away at the back of the busy dining room) took 10 minutes. For a $500 bill you'd think you'd leave there satisfied, we were all starving. Totally disappointed, and embarrassed that we had experienced this on my mothers birthday. Needless to say we won't be back. my suggestion, take notes from your Yonge st location... They're doing it right. read more

Do yourself a favor and go to Eglinton and Downtown location instead. Meat comes very infrequently,otherwise theyll just miss you, for the price you wouldnt be able to eat as much as you can. after 30 mins of sitting they will just pass by you, not even worth the expensive bill youre paying. The ceasar salad was mushy and brown looking as if theyve been sitting there for so long. We came here for a birthday and we were so disappointed. The table has no plates. And the workers seemed to cater to spanish people,since the couple beside us who were spanish got more meat than us. So if you arent spanish,book the other locations.Clearly, theyre very biased and has favoritism.The next 20 minutes no one came by even though we have the card up. Ever since I got there Ive been asking for salmon and none came so is the corn bread. Definitely not coming back and would not recommend it. Its funny how Im writing this review while waiting for anyone to come because thats how long you have to wait for food to arrive. read more

I very rarely give reviews online but I just had to share my experience. Immediately walking in we felt like we were at a club vs. a restaurant. The receptionist was very nice (due to the two starts) and she said our wait time would be 20min. We ended up waiting 40min and every time we asked "how much longer?" They would say "5 more min". We sat down and waited about 10min for a waitress to take our drink orders. When we realized no one was coming, we got up to get our food (this is a buffet). Soon after, our waitress arrived and being very polite she said "I'm sorry I took so long, I wasn't informed I had a table waiting for me. I thought I was done". **THE FOOD IS NOT TRADITIONAL BRASILIAN FOOD**( coming from a native brasilian ). They looked very understaffed. We barely got the "rodízio" and even after we communicated with our waitress that we were barely getting served meat, nothing changed. Overall, not a great experience and I would not recommend. read more

Copa Cabana is a great restaurant, but Not this one in Vaughan. As others have mentioned already, the service doesn't meet the expectation. I've been to Niagara location numerous times, where the restaurant is always busy with tourists, but still provides excellent service, food, and atmosphere. The orientation of tables at this Vaughan location is horrible, with tables all close to each other. No plate, or blue/red signal paper thingy was not given until I asked after 20 minutes, and meat cycle is really slow. It sped up slightly after I've politely told our server that the serving is too slow, but this is not what I expect from $50 a person dinner. Even worse, the salad bar is not as good as other locations, with less variety, taste and presentation. If it was a $30 buffet, I may have been satisfied with this location, but not at $50 per person. I highly recommend going to another location if you are considering Copa Cabana. read more
