This was my last meal in the GTA and I wish I could give zero stars. There is no redeeming quality to this establishment. While waiting for seating, I noticed tables that were more or less in the waiting area. Very odd. No decor on this side of the restaurant but just looks like overflow table. No entertainment and only employees rushing around you because it's their prep area. Unfortunately we ended up being seated here despite seeing empty tables in the core eating area. Next, we sat down for nearly 10 minutes with just a carafe of water and no cups. We got our first 3 pieces of meat before water cups, I had to ask the nearest employee (turned out to be the manager) later when they appeared. Because of Covid, the sides come on carts and are served table side. Of the many sides listed, only salad and mash potatoes appeared. I had requested cheese bread (from a different server since ours rarely appeared) and the first sighting of the bread basket was 45 minutes later. It is obvious that the overflow area is often forgotten. There were multiple times where we went 10-15 minutes without any meat - plates just completely empty. And we were only there for 45 minutes... I probably had no more than 3oz of meat served to me in that time... for $65pp. We got a pitcher of the Brazilian sangria and it tasted like sugar water. Not a big deal since the main event is the meat, but definitely regret going for the pitcher first. Sides were subpar at best. Brussel sprouts tasted standard, braised beef and potato (?) purée tasted like unseasoned mashed potato and shredded beef. Even the salad was surprisingly whatever. Meats were the biggest disappointment of them all. When cutting the meat, the server kept cutting really thin pieces and only burnt ends for me, whole cutting thicker pieces for my boyfriend. Because of that, all my pieces were so dry and chewy. The house steak was inedible - over cooked, under seasoned, cheap steak. Other meats we had were powdery in texture, tasted like freezer burn, too salty, etc. I've been to many Brazilian steakhouses and I think it's fairly common to not prefer a few selections of meat, but when the majority is bad... it's kind of unacceptable for the price. The only meats that were good were skewered and heavily sauced. Maybe 1/4 meats were satisfactory. For the first time in my life, I was so disappointed that I spoke to the manager and expressed my dissatisfaction with the service, frequency of meat, quality of meat, etc. When I asked for the drink to be comped as a medium, he quickly vetoed it and disagreed with me saying that since no other patrons complained, he didn't believe me. Instead he said that they would make up for our poor experience and offered us more meat (lol). The only request I had was more grilled pineapple after seeing one of the servers walk by with a newly grilled one. And after 15 minutes... no pineapple to be found. I asked for the manager again and he said it takes 15 minutes to grill it (wrong), especially if it's a big pineapple. He went to check on it and said it was coming out in a minute. IF TOU COULD SEE MY FACE WHEN THE PINEAPPLE CAME OUT, it was down to half its size, no char or grill marks in sight. It looked like he just told to staff to flame it for a minute and bring to us to stop complaining. What a joke. Do better, Copa Cabana! I understand having pride for your establishment, but this meal should have been 25 dollars per person at the most. Felt like a bargain bbq buffet. Do not waste your time eating here. GTA has so much good food to offer and this is just... not it. read more

I'm a big fan of this restaurant and all locations as you see all my reviews, but recently the following happened after the pandemic: * price per person jumped from $40 to $60, I would normally understand the added expenses and to cover up for losses after the pandemic; however, that is only justified when you're running normal operations, but this isn't case. By saying that, I mean: * Dramatically reduce portions, and reducing your cuts of meats by a half maybe, is not acceptable * open Salad and tapas bar is removed (while the government has re-allowed the operations of open buffets). This has been reduced to only small limited options for mobile salad stations circling around, where you get a very small portion "to share". when you re-order a side of salad or rice or potatoes, they just never show up! * Service has highly decreased at this location, from once having the best team of staff, to a bunch of unprofessional young servers. I asked for two salads that never came, I asked for water refill 3 times until I got it! I asked for a fresh plate twice until I got it, and I asked for corn breads that never showed up! * Instead of improving the huge service gal. You have newly added an automatic gratuity of 18% to the bill. This is absurd. I 'normally' tip anywhere from 25% -35% at your location, because I am a regular and I certainly Enjoy and admire the service; last night after I saw the bill, it was the first time that I felt as I have been ripped off! With all the above reasons, doing all these points (increasing price, decreasing meat options and selections, reducing apps and salads, declining service, and adding 18% to the bill) it will be very easy to lose customers, new and old ones! And I certainly do not want to be one of them, Get your operations RIGHT! read more

This restaurant is all hype. I went there on Father's Day and was so disappointed. I booked early reservations and still had to wait 40mins to be seated. The servers took so long to come around with the meats that we ended up filling up on the sides. Then was told they were out of dessert and several sides at 7pm! it's not like it was 8:30pm, poor plannin by management. Not worth the $75pp plus 18% forced gratuity. Won't be going back or recommending this place. read more

Amazing food Will come back again ! The food was fresh and very good We came on super busy time and the place were great ! read more

Disappointing overall. Used to really enjoy this place however things seem to have gone down hill. As soon as we were seated we were served a random variety of appetizers/sides, we had never asked for. Our table was filled with dishes nobody wanted/asked for within minutes of sitting down. I'm not shur whether this was done to get us eat less of the dishes we wanted. The older members of our party were confused by this and felt bad to not eat the random dishes they had brought. Most importantly they cut the meat very thinly, brought very few cuts and brought them rarely. This was really disappointing when you're paying 75$ per person, which could get you a great meal at any other steak house. And despite the delays in bringing food and half the restaurant being empty, they promptly asked us to leave the table before 2 hours. Wouldn't bring family or friends here to celebrate any important events in the future. The staff were nice enough, this seems like a management issue more then anything else read more

The food at this location was decent the staff would ask how we like the meat cooked and no matter how we said we would like it cooked it would all come medium well. Until we spoke to the manager/ supervisor for the kitchen team, they apologized and after that all of the meat came cooked as we had requested. The server we had was atrocious, it was quite frustrating as we would watch her provide great customer service to other tables and we're confused as to why she was treating our table so poorly. It was noticed that we were her only table of minorities and so it was assumed that is why. We spoke to the manager about it and they said they could not switch the server as it was quite busy. All in all, I would give it another chance for sure! read more

Avoid Copacabana Brazilian Steakhouse in Vaughan at all costs! My boyfriend was excited to take me there for my birthday, as he had a experience there many years ago. We went on Aug 22, 2024 and what a disappointment. The beer was flat, and we waited an average between 12 to 18 minutes for meats to circulate to our table, with only half of the advertised options available. We were there from 7 pm to 8:30 pm. No bakery items were served, and we ended up eating mostly rice, beans, corn, and french fries because of the wait time between the meats being served. At one point after waiting quite a while for a server to bring meat, I was given one tiny slice and when I asked for more, I told that was all I could have. This was hands down the worst birthday dinner I've ever had. To top it off, gratuity was included, so we paid around $215 for mostly rice, beans, corn, fries, flat beer, and a little bit of meat. It felt like a complete rip-off. Save your money and avoid this place. McDonald's would have be a better option. P.S Sometimes the tables next to us would get served repeatedly and the server would divert and go to another table all the way across the room. Not sure why. For reference I am black and my boyfriend is white and that's all I am going to say about that. read more

Meatlover's Heaven! My first time visiting CopaCabana and I really enjoyed my experience. It was just so much fun watching all these "meat" parading in front of me. And they just kept coming! The staff here was friendly. They even asked what we like and request the kitchen to have those prepared for us! The buffet spread was quite good. I like to have a little salad, some vegetables or even some fresh fruits in between my meat feeding. Oh there were even more cold cuts meat if you want to go all out! The only negative experience was we had a reservation and still waited over 30 minute for our table. But it was worth the wait. Great management team and awesome staff = Great Service! I hope you love your meat. That's the only thing that really worth coming for! read more

Oh what a night! Amazing atmosphere here! The front door is deceiving & doesn't look friendly. However, once your passed the 2nd set of doors you hear the music and the restaurant comes alive. We had reservations for 5:30 dinner and it was perfect! We decided to sit on the patio- it's open roof with umbrellas & has a faux green wall to block onlookers & the parking lot. All the food is super fresh & hot. I call this Table-side Buffet. They have a good variety of Gluten Free options & even GF cheese bread which he loved...us regular ppls quite enjoyed the cornbread. How it works: the servers will bring a wide assortment of grilled meats & it gets sliced off the giant skewers - using the little tongs you assist by holding the slices & place it on your plate. Mostly Beef cuts but there is also Chicken, Pork, Shrimp & Pineapple. The Miami Ribs are to die for! Some items "Board" means table-side but served off a plater not skewer. So so many appetizers to choose from. There are a lot of things to try so pace yourself...we got too much too fast . My favourite was the PeriPeri Wings & Fried Smashed Potatoes. All alcoholic drinks are charged per cup or bottle - soft drinks is charged perPerson but unlimited refills. This restaurant allows you to try new things...with individual portions you order as little or as much as you like. I encourage people to try everything! The Tuna tartar was super fresh and tasty. I got Nonna & Nonno to eat raw fish I would suggest to go early like us to enjoy each other's conversations because it gets pretty loud around 7pm . The only negative is that it's quite expensive- more suitable for big meat eaters. Average $100 perPerson Thank you for an awesome experience. Extra thanks to our waitress (sorry I didn't catch her name : she has amazing perfume from sep'ora with Brazilian notes). read more

Copacabana is one of my favourite restaurants, I go there twice or thrice a year and each time I get varying levels of service, sometimes our server will come every 10 minutes sometimes every 30 minutes and sometimes twice during our meal. My last visit to copacabana was June 2024, our server stopped visiting our table after 40 minutes and after 45 minutes we were served no meat even though we were still hungry, they forget about customers sometimes but never forget to charge that 18% gratuity or whatever it is now, copacabana is disappointing now and I will not be going back there as there's many all you can eat places that are significantly better quality and considerably cheaper than copacabana. Hope this helps. read more

Um, how bout NO. Copa used to be awesome, but not anymore. Back then, they had dancers, salad bar, and you couldn't stop them from bringing meat to your table even if you wanted to! But now, no more... I get things are difficult for restaurants now, but cut the right things dammit. I don't need a resting bitch face waitress, I want my salad bar! Where's my fruit and OKA cheese?! Where's my dancers?! Why are there 3 waitresses for one table for no reason at all? And now they barely even come to your table to give you food... There was barely any meat compared to before! And the desserts were all terrible. The waiter guys are all uniformly nice, I'll give them that. But they definitely skimp on the meat now, and that's what you're there for! And to top it all off, they force you to give an 18% tip. I've heard of 13%, I've heard if 15%, but forcing me to give that big a tip when all we got were dirty looks from the waitress? That's a crime... And they also don't give you a free meal on your birthday anymore either! We spent like over $400 here, and we were so disappointed. We could have gone to Fishman and had an epic King Crab dinner for that price! Unless things go back to the way they were here, it's best avoided. read more

I recently went to Copacabana over the weekend for a friends bday. The service was terrible. Our drink orders didn't show up and I had to remind the server twice what we ordered to drink. Half way into the meal the server later asked us if we wanted new plates, we said sure. She never returned with new plates, then when the other servers came by with the skewers, I had no plate for about 20 mins. I later had to ask another server for a plate. Half way into the meal they told us that certain meats were the last they will make at 9pm! I left with a $250 bill at the end of the night and left hungry. Also, 18% gratuity is included on your bill, not worth the experience when the service obviously bad and forced to tip on top of that for bad service. read more

Please note: Birthday person does not eat for free anymore! No one will remind you until it is time for you to pay. Then they will say happy birthday to you. The pandemic has changed our lives meaningfully, and AYCE restaurants were no exception. Rising prices are palpable, and I get it. Even with this challenge, many places still offer a great experience, and unfortunately, this place does not. I visited with my friends to celebrate a birthday. The person who booked us did not inform us that the birthday person could no longer eat for free. Also, there were no dancers anymore, and we were not impressed. The waitress who seemed to be the main server for our table was insincere and rarely visited our table. She hardly cleaned our table and never really tried to get new plates when they got dirty or offered dessert when I clearly said that we were ready for them. We were not having a good time and never bothered to ask for the birthday celebration with the cake I brought. So, I asked her to bring it back to us at the end of the meal. She did not even think twice about putting it on the dirty table, where many servers had dropped steak slices and other food particles. We had to ask her to put it on the seat so that the birthday person could bring it back home without making her hands dirty. I found it very inconsiderate and not deserving of the 18% tip included in the meal. Besides the waitress, other male servers who carved steaks tried to chat with us and asked us what we wanted to eat. Even though visits were noticeably fewer, they increased the variety by introducing lamb and short ribs. Lamb was all right, and short ribs were a decent distraction if not over-seasoned. They now grill the chicken perfectly, then serve it in a bowl instead of overcooking them on a skewer. I think the grilled shrimp, top sirloin steak, and grilled pineapples were just like how I remembered them. One downside was that because the serving cycles were infrequent, we actually could not try all the meat options they had on the menu. There were steaks wrapped in bacon that I saw served after our 2-hour seating at the table had passed. As for the sides, there were no more salad bars. You have to use the QR code to see the menu and then verbally request them to the server. Since our waitress never visited us, we had to grab other servers who passed by our table. It was inconvenient because the menu used Brazilian words and did not explain what they were with explanations or pictures. We got grilled mushrooms, grilled potatoes, and mashed potato cakes. They were made to order and tasted good. I wanted simple condiments like olives, pickles, and pickled peppers. However, I could not readily find them on the menu and could not order them. The desserts were overall let-downs in terms of quality. Mini churros were smaller than a pinky but still had good flavour. Berry cobbler was like a berry cake, and the gelato tasted more like ice cream. When I ordered gelato and cobbler simultaneously, I noted that they put one scoop of ice cream over the cobbler. However, my friend who just ordered gelato got a bowl with three scoops. Overall, I could see that the restaurant changed dramatically for the worse. They kept the quality of some of their signature offerings. However, the drop in frequency of steak slices made it less of an AYCE experience and more of a food ration experience. They removed their signature token, and I could see why - there were not enough visits in the first place to need a stop sign! The poor experience with the waitress was the final nail in the coffin for me. The restaurant fixed the tip at 18%, which I thought was very high. There was no quality control in service. I would not be coming back and cannot recommend this place to my worst enemy. Considering that we almost paid $100 per person, I would wait for others who can afford such luxury to write favourable reviews before reconsidering this place. read more

4/5 stars because I found it to be a little pricey at $70 per person (subjectively speaking). However, if you eat a lot (like my bf), then you'll definitely get your money's worth! They had a great variety of meat that would satisfy any meat lover's palette. I highly recommend the grilled pineapple, even though it's not a meat. I think I ate more pineapple than meat, TBH. They were a little slow with bringing out the grilled pineapple and we had to request it multiple times. However, it is understandable because they have to bring it back into the kitchen to flavour it after they're finished serving the top layers. There was never a shortage of meat though - they came around faster than we could eat! They also have other salads and apps on the side that you can help yourself to at any time. The entertainment was great, though I think this is only available on weekends. I suppose that when you factor that in too, then it is worth the money you pay. read more

5 stars. Let's get it out of the way We eat at a lot of Brazilian restaurants. Copacabana sets the standards. We we served more types of meat than any Brazilian restaurants that I have been to. Multiple types of beef, chicken, pork, lamb severed multiple ways Easily double the variety of any other place Tnat I have been to. Friendly, clean, helpful and the food went fast. 5 stars read more

I went here with my family for my 37th birthday. (Sept 2020) We were all amazed! We all loved the experience. The food was fresh & delicious. The service was excellent! The chef was incredible & came to our table a few times to bring us food and see how our experience was. We are coming back again in July for my dad's 80th milestone birthday. My dad is the most pickiest man and he had nothing but great things to say. The ambiance was great too. Thanks for making my birthday so memorable We appreciate you The only complaint I have is: Please bring back free birthday meals!! Also, we missed the entertainment that night I I pray it's there on my dad's birthday read more

I swear I'm giving 4 stars because of the pita and guacamole alone. I was here for a gfs birthday. I avoided Copacobana for a long time because I was scarred after watching Bridesmaids lol if you know, you know. Anyways, I was actually excited leading up to it cuz I couldn't wait to eat everything! When we got there our table wasn't ready and it took them about 15 mins after the reso to get the table together. However, they said they would extend our time because it was their fault. The rest of our party was late anyways, so it wasn't too bad waiting for the table. We started right away with the salad bar/antipasto/hot food area. I swear I got full off of my one plate, which I forgot to take a picture of. They have an ok selection of food to eat with all the meats. BUT the star of the show...the frickin pita and spicy guacamole!!! Hooooooly crap, it was so good, I think I ate like 6 pitas. We would get a huge bowl of guac and a plate of pitas for the whole table of 9 lol, as if it was a shareable appetizer you'd order at a resto. We all wanted that guac recipe. Anyways, the other thing worth mentioning from the buffet bar was the lasagna and Asian noodles. The meat sauce in the lasagna was great and the Asian noodles really surprised me. It had a great flavour to it. At first, I was like, why did I even get these? But was glad I did lol. Their Caesar salad is weird because they put spinach in it. I didn't really like it. Finally the meats. I tried quite a few but only really liked the house steak and the ribs. I'm so glad the first meat we tried was the house steak because it set the bar really high. It was amazing. Nice and juicy, perfectly cooked. Next was the ribs and they were so tender, literally meat that has fallen off the bone. However, after those, nothing else was really up to par for me. A lot of the table really enjoyed the parm steak but it was not for me. The parm was just yuck. Same with the parmesan chicken, not to be confused with chicken parm lol. The one meat that was the worst was the bbq steak. This was just steak that was smothered in bbq sauce. But the sauce was like sweet and the steak was cooked hella rare. So not only was it super gross but it was super chewy. I really wanted to spit it out but you know, that's kinda gross. I didn't love any of the chickens either. The flank steak was actually ok and I usually don't like that cut of meat. Overall, I'm not sure if it was worth $55 but I really enjoyed that pita and guac lol like that's why I think I got my money's worth. Oh and the guys serving the meat were super down wid it. Like they would ask what we want more of and would bring that particular meat to us. That's service! read more

Second time visiting this chain but first time at this newer location out west. Pretty self explanatory but basically you must be meat lovers if you plan to come cause it serves mainly grilled meats. Came here on a Tues night so it's $50/person but essentially all you can eat meats and their buffet table which has various cheeses, breads, salad, pasta and many more. It's like other typical Brazilian Steakhouses where the meats are served and cut as at your table upon your request. Meat selection was primarily different beef cuts (sirloin, ribeye, filet mignon, garlic steak, iron steak, etc) with only one other chicken option, at least during the weekdays. I believe during the weekends they offer a few more premium meat selections at higher price. Beef cuts were tasty and cooked medium rare in most cases but cuts are sliced very thinly. Their grilled cinnamon pineapple is a must try. Buffet table had plenty of alternatives to accompany the meats if you prefer. Overall decent but could have offered more meat selections. As an example other similar restaurants had Pork Rib, Chicken Wings, Sausages, etc to fulfill everyone's different taste buds. For the price you pay don't expect Grade AAA quality here but be prepared to be fed. read more

The food was great. I got a chance to sit right next to the music (Guitar Player) was alot of fun - a bit difficult to have conversations near the music so try to sit abit away from the entertainment. For the most part the meat came fairly regularly but there were some moments where I felt I needed to flag someone down for more. But they came :) read more

So $80 later I got poorly cooked chicken with copious amounts of fat. I also had to wait for other servings of meat that also were full of fat and poorly cooked. The service was so slow that I had to fill up on their apps. I would have had better service at Mandarin for half the cost and more food. The best part is some of the items were sold out....sold out at a $80 buffet??? Wow 2nd time at copa and unfortunately my last time. read more

It's been a while since we got to enjoy a nice dinner out at Copacabana's and we definitely enjoyed dinner last night. Copacabana is serving by reservations only right now much like before due to their popularity, I suggest you make your reservations now because the food is still just a delicious as ever.. The patio attached to the restaurant is enclosed but with a retractable roof sort of like the Rogers Center. Check in with the hostess and wait to be seated. It is slightly different than pre covid with the appetizer now being served to you rather than on a buffet table. Sit down scan the QR code to access the menu and everything will show up on your smartphone. waved down the server and order your drinks and desired appetizer and the proteins will start coming to you just like before. You are limited to 90min din but don't worry the food is already waiting for you once you're seated. Price has gone up slightly last I remember it was $50 to $55 per person and not it is $60. Last night was slightly disappointed because we kept asking for the top sirloin but was always missed and we didn't end up getting it until after we paid the bill. other than that everything else was perfect. Still highly recommended. FeiJai Out! read more

Copa is a meat lover's institution. Their Vaughan outpost is relatively newer and much 'quieter' than its Toronto sisters. For one price, you get access to their salad bar which is chock full of great eats on its own...seriously, I would consider paying just to access it! Then, people walk around the restaurant, offering up fine meats that range from steaks, to chicken, to fish, and even dessert (cinnamon roasted pineapple, mmmmm). The one gripe I have about this place is that they don't rotate very well - if you get stuck in a seat away from the kitchen (or wherever they start their rounds), the good stuff will usually be gone before they get to you. read more

Series was prompt and came by often, food was well seasoned and there's a lot of space.

Food was terrific, no doubt; however, I didn't like how "they" added the tip at 15% to my bill. I know that servers live off tips; I would've gladly added a tip on my own. I enjoyed the Yonge/ Eglinton location better. Perhaps once Omicron is over, I will check out the Adelaide location and compare it! read more

RATING: 3.5 "At the Copa....Copacabana".... you can satisfy all your meat cravings. What can I say? If you are a meat lover look no further; even if you're not they have a decent buffet full of carbs and veggies. We came here on a Thursday night and it was decently packed but we made a reservation beforehand. We got seated in an indoor patio space with a sunroof above which was absolutely beautiful and I preferred it much more than the indoor section because it was full of natural light (compared to the dimly lit indoor area), The food was pretty good but I do have to say that the selection of meats were lacking and the meat servers didn't come around often enough. Every time someone would come by with meats, they would only go to one or two tables in our section before going back to the kitchen to roast it some more. This might've been because of the area we were seated in as it looked like they went to the indoor dining section first then to the patio area but it became pretty frustrating. Also, I would recommend staying away from all the heavy carbs as it can be very filling (taking up all that precious meat space). But overall, there's good food, good atmosphere, and decent service so it's worth going for special occasions (I wouldn't come for just a regular dinner because it's pretty pricey). Just make sure to bring a towel for all the meat sweats you'll have afterwards..... read more

This review is based on post-covid dining experience. I'm glad to see that they found a way to adapt to this new style of dining in for buffet. Instead of their usual salad and side bars they had a salad cart that gets pushed around by a waiter. I also love the implementation of chef specialties dishes that are made to order. This is actually what made my experience better. From the chef specialities menu I ordered the grilled corn, fried smash potatoes, Brussels sprout with pistachios and cauliflower with romesco sauce. All I can say is that the fried smash potatoes and Brussels sprouts were out of this world! The potatoes came out crispy on the outside but soft and creamy on the insides. The sprouts were also very crispy and seasoned to perfection! As per usual, the meat came around and was served by the waiters. However, I noticed some differences compared to my last experience (pre-covid). Pre-covid there was these red/blue card to show if your table still wanted meat to continue to come or to stop but this time I felt that the meat service stopped coming pretty early. It felt like they was an unspoken rule where all waiters just stopped serving our table meat because we were reaching the end of our time...which was only about an hour in. At this point we have tasted everything once and I was still hungry and wanting more but waiters kinda just turned to other tables. I finally called over the manager asking for a specific cut of meat to be served to our table and we got it. And because I felt heard, I will leave this review at 3 stars.... Or 3.5 if Yelp would let me. read more

My family came to this Vaughn location after my sons graduation on thurs june 21st held at universal Events Centre, we changed our reservation to 8 pm instead of 7:15 bec the grad ceremony was taking longer than usual. The hostess said if you come anytime before 8, we will set your table but we kept our reservations for 8pm. we came to restaurant at 7:35pm and the hostess made us wait 45 mins before getting seated while other small groups of family came after us and served them. we had to remind hostess several times we are still waiting for our table and reservations for 8pm. we were finally seated at 8:20pm and the service was terrible we sat at the table for another 15mins before our busy yet friendly waitress came to our table. we ordered our appetizers and patiently waited to be served our meat, again we waited for meat service and we felt very ignored, they kept serving the table beside us, behind us and we were ignored like we were invisible. finally we had to tell waitress how do we ask for the meat servers to come to our table? She said you have to request your meat and they will come to your table. wtf? You pay $70 for all you can eat steak and you really don't get the value of ur meat for that price.She went to the back to let the servers know of our request. One meat server was very unfriendly with served us several times and barely cut the meat thick enough for us to enjoy, it was so thin we could even pick it from our meat picker, several times we asked for more and he said rudely that it was not to be served thick and went back to the kitchen grill. yet the other meat servers gave us better cuts/slices of our requested meat/steak. Then at 9:30 we asked for some corn bread and the server/waitress said they are out of cornbread really? We were served with an alternate cheese bread that tasted like it was overcooked/overheated you couldn't even chew it! We were very disappointed with the food, service and the price you paid for the steakhouse is robbery compared to wat the quantity of meat they serve you. I've been to other locations and other brazilian steakhouses and I def would not recommend or come back to this place!! Terrible service, wait times for meat service and lack of consideration for a family of 6 adults! Complete waste of my time and money! read more

Excellent food, was a wonderful experience. Just wish our waitress was a bit more friendlier especially since the gratuity is already added to the bill. Would have tipped more if she was. read more

3.5 stars I believe I have mentioned this before in other reviews but I personally really don't enjoy buffets. My humble opinion is that you end up eating too much to get "you money's worth" and don't really enjoy anything in particular. Why did I come to visit, you ask? We ended up here for my (soon to be) brother in law's birthday celebration as he is a huge fan of CopaCabana. I am so glad I booked a reservation in advance as it was super busy when we arrived. So busy in fact, our table wasn't ready yet. We ended up ordering a couple of drinks at the bar while we waited to be seated. Even though I don't really eat meat anymore, I did opt for the "full" buffet as they were offering salmon on skewers. The buffet was plentiful and offered many tasty options. Don't make the rookie mistake of filling up on their yummy breads and salads before you get your fill of meats. The salmon took a white to come around but was really tasty when it finally did land on our table. Overall, our table enjoyed the meal and we did for sure leave super stuffed. We did have to request certain meats for the table a couple of times. Side note, if you visit on your actual birthday (they will ask for ID), your meal is free! read more

Food was good but service left much to be desired: at one point we were left twiddling our thumbs and watching every other table around us be offered steaks for 30-40 mins. The ambience was on the louder side, but we didn't mind. The server took it upon herself to bring random apps to us as well, like fries, chips, salads, brussel sprouts, etc. without us asking. Also even when I requested for specific steaks as per the menu said you could, they forgot 5/6 of the ones we ordered. Sure I understand it's busy but if you're unable to handle each table with the requisite attention, perhaps consider hiring more waiters or downsizing. read more

the food was amazing, we went at 5pm when they open for dinner and it was food coming left and right! got to be the favorites in the restaurant for about an hour, they say 1.5hours max but we were there for about 2hours. ambiance is nice, comfortable dark dim lighting unless outside but not in a bad way just cozy and relaxing. everyone was very nice and they even offered to cook me some meats longer since a few of them were too rare for me. will definitely be coming again. read more

Fantastic food, fantastic service, pretty good ambience. The only major issue with Copacabana, is the fact that all the tables are very close together, so having a conversation with your group is quite difficult. However, the quality of meat is amazing, and higher than its competitor Braza Brazilian steakhouse. The side dishes are nice and are a nice addition to the meats. But the biggest issue under the topic of food at Copacabana are the desserts. The desserts are extremely underwhelming, extremely simple, and some even taste a tad stale. However, all in all, for the Brazilian steakhouse experience, Copacabana is the best. read more
