WOW ... WOW... WOW…read more. We were in the area and decided to try something new , came across this place and went in to check it out , here is how it went : Upon entering we were greeted by Jonas and an AMAZINGGGGGGGG bartender named Will . Will is simply the best , polite, professional, positive energy and outstanding customer service . He goes out of his way to make sure everything is perfect , we sat at the bar and had some delicious appetizers seasoned to perfection . I'm am Brazilian and I have been to MANY Brazilian steakhouses but this one topped them all and the didn't even try the rodizio. The whole vibe just makes you want to stay as long as you can , the only issue with that is that you will probably weight 100lbs more by the time you leave haha !! Everything is just so good . Jonas was very attentive and always asking if we needed anything else . An absolute amazing experience , we will definitely go back to enjoy other selections . Ohh and let me tell you their passion fruit caipirinha was awesome . If you want class,great customer service and great food definitely pay this guys a visit . You will not regret .

It was supposed to include waffles, an omelette station, exotic fruit and meat. No omelette station, no waffles. I asked for waffles and was told they were being prepared. I checked a few times they never arrived. Most of the meat was too salty and arrived very slowly unlike most Brazilian S.H. It even stopped before we turned over our cards. Not sure if they were taking a break but the serving time was brief. The salad bar lacked variety. It was half the size of other B.S.H. Nothing special just salad, fruit that you can get anywhere, cold cornbread. No shrimp, not much extras. The soup was ok.

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ 99.9% of the food was EXCELLENT!!! + Picanha, Sirloin, Beef Ribs, Garlic Picanha, Lamb, Sausage, Bacon-Wrapped Chicken, Grilled Pineapple and all of the Salad Bar food was absolutely delicious. ++++ All of the mentioned pieces of steak were fresh, juicy, tender and verrrrrry flavorful. Also, the meats weren't very gamey at all, which tends to be my gripe with churrascarias. ++++ Grilled pineapple was to die for and the perfect way to complete our meal. Easily could have eaten 10 slices of this! + Salad Bar was surprisingly quite large with many different salads, pastas, rice, beans, maduros, soups and freshly sliced fruit. - The pieces of Filet Mignon were really the only disappointment as they were well done and just not very tasty. THE SERVICE ------------------- + All of the waiters were friendly and on point with their service. ++++ Very quick in clearing our plates. ++++ Refilled our water multiple times. + All of the gauchos bringing the meat skewers and carving up the meats were friendly and accommodating with letting us grab multiple slices/pieces of meat. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Supppppper spacious, clean restaurant with classy, modern decor. + Located on level 1 across from Cheesecake Factory. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = We dined in at around 12:20ish on a rainy Saturday afternoon and we were the verrrrry first customers inside. In fact, there were only 3 other tables occupied during the 1.5 hours that we were there, so there were A LOTTTTT of empty tables. It was quite strange being the only customers in this large restaurant for a good 45 minutes, so they were bringing the meats out for just us! CONCLUSION -------------------- = Didn't expect that Picanha would be right up there with the best churrascarias I've ever been to, but not only are they up there with the best, but they MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE....ever!

Lunch today at Banana Brasil Grille in Waterbury. I went with the $14.95/lb Meat only option. My…read morelunch certainly "filled me up", but like other fellow Yelpers have stated in their reviews, some of the meat selections were very salty. The meats that were not as salty tasting were on the bland side, I just kinda expected to experience "more flavor", and it simply just wasn't there. I lived in the Deep South for a year, and the Q found in that region simply blows away what I experienced today. Maybe it's not a fair comparison, but I couldn't help but think that. The location of the Banana Brasil Grille is conveniently located near Rt8, so it was easy to get back on to the highway to continue my journey after my lunch. Overall, I'd say it was a mediocre lunch, I can't see a reason for a return visit. A weak 3 Star Rating, IMO.
