They also forgot to bring out the sides but once I brought it to their attention it was fixed.

So my sister graduated medical school in NJ and we were looking for a quick restaurant so that we…read morecan dine. The staff at the front were welcoming and courteous. Unfortunately, my overall experience was very disappointing due to poor service. Our server, a shorter male who I believe was named Ricardo, took our order. I ordered the lobster mac and cheese and yuca fries. After waiting 25 minutes, I asked a staff member serving steak to check on the order, and he agreed. After 45 minutes, I followed up again with another staff member, a woman with reddish hair in a ponytail, and asked her to check with the kitchen. After waiting over an hour with no update, when she passed back, I informed her that I no longer wanted the food, and she acknowledged my request. Throughout this entire time, our server never once checked in on us. When he finally came to the table, I confirmed that my order had been canceled, and he said yes. He then proceeded to tell us that cooking takes time and that we needed to be patient. I dine out regularly and understand reasonable wait times, but the lack of communication and follow-up was unacceptable. The comment made by our server felt dismissive and unprofessional, especially given the circumstances. Overall, this experience did not meet expectations, and I will likely just stick to New York in the future.

I picked this place for my birthday and it was the first time we had ever been. Everything was not…read moreperfect, but I loved the food, decor, and our waiter Sebastian gave good recommendations on what to eat. He also was very sweet. The place had a great vibe and I loved that the copocabana lady was everywhere. Very cool! We had a late reservation at 8 on Saturday and we were definitely a little rushed at the end so I would recommend eating earlier. We probably would prefer a 7 reservation as the kitchen seems to close around 9 and cleanup begins while you are eating. The food was all gluten free and there were plenty of dairy free options. I thought the food was clean and delicious and I could tell the chef put a lot of effort into his cooking. I also felt good after I ate it which is not always the case for me. They take great care in picking ingredients and it shows through in the taste and flavors of their food. I liked every single thing I ate. I also took home a lot of leftovers! I liked the food just as much a day later. Absolutely delicious. The other little issue I had was they tack on a service fee/ gratuity of 20%. We have seen this on vacations but never in the states. I feel this makes some people confused and uncomfortable. We always tip at least 20% for good service. The forced service fee/gratuity is not something we personally are a fan of. I would definitely 100% go back for the food and my husband felt the same. If in the area, check this place out as you will enjoy.

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

This time our particular craving was meat so naturally rodizio was on the table. My brother recommended Brazeiro because he had a good experience there and the price was very reasonable. Technically there's a parking lot but it's hilariously small. You'll likely need to find street parking when you dine here. We were able to snag a table for 4 pretty quickly. The sides are good but not great, but that's not what you come here for. They have some meat add-ons that cost extra and they were intriguing but not enough for us to order them. The meats were delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection. The server asks how you like your meats cooked prior to the service starting. They've got most of the typical cuts for rodizio and it's finished off with cinnamon-coated pineapple. Brazeiro just might be the new go-to for rodizio.

It is a small restaurant, but it is nice and intimate with smaller tables. We were seated immediately after walking in. Fortunately, the hostess informed us it was still happy hour, so we placed orders for a caipirinha and a mojito. We ordered the Rodizio Experience, which comes with access to the salad bar, fried sides, and tableside carved meats on skewers. Our drinks came, and the hostess asked how we liked our meats cooked, and we went with medium rare. The drinks were tasty, and definitely worth it at only $6 during happy hour. I tried the potato salad, Caesar salad, chickpeas, and feijoada off of the salad bar. The feijoada was especially good. The fried sides included yuca, croquets, plantains, and pao de queijo (cheese bread). All were done well. At first, i thought that the staff was skipping our table for the Rodizio Experience. But then I realized the skewers are dedicated to the table. They brought out sausage, chicken legs, garlic steak, steak wrapped in bacon, bottom sirloin, picanha, tenderloin, and beef rib. The skewers were all cooked to medium rare as I requested, and seasoned perfectly! Once we had all the meats, the hostess returned and asked us if we wanted to have another round of any particular cuts. Once we finished our second rounds, they offered us grilled pineapple dusted with cinnamon, which was also delicious. I would definitely return.

The food was delicious, the servers who carved the meats were excellent, the décor was beautiful, and the Brazilian music created a wonderful atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience changed when the hostess approached our table while we were still eating and asked us to make a charitable donation. I explained that I had already donated to the charity, but she continued by asking if I would donate again. My nephew eventually made a donation and received a gift card. My concern is not with supporting a charity; I believe in giving and have donated many times. It was the timing and persistence of the request. Being approached during our meal interrupted a meaningful conversation and made us feel uncomfortable. A request like this would be much more appropriate after the meal, perhaps when presenting the check, when guests can consider it without having their dining experience disrupted. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere were very good. I simply hope management reconsiders how and when these donation requests are made, as this one interruption took away from what otherwise would have been a lovely and memorable evening.

They had a wide variety of food, all ranging from beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and some vegetarian options. They had an extensive wine menu, and my boyfriend joyfully enjoyed a glass of wine. I got the brazilian fried chicken, which was extremely flavorful, and i was surprised there wasn't any breading on the chicken as typical fried chicken does. I much preferred the no-breading style, which I think is the Brazilian way. I would have preferred a boneless dish, as there were quite a few pieces with bones, and it was pretty oily at the bottom of the dish. It came with two very large sides, and totaled around $25. 100% would recommend this dish, but I do think at a lower price point, this could make do with just one side, instead of two, as the main dish was quite large enough to fill me up. My favorite part of this meal was the garlic butter bread that they provide for free. It comes out extremely fresh with lots of chopped up garlic, which is my favorite part of garlic bread. It was a great way to start the dinner off. The service was great and the waiters were extremely attentive. They regularly checked up on how we felt about the food and filled up our drinks. The restaurant was pretty empty while we were dining, but the space was laid out very nicely and the decor was beautiful. Would come again if it wasn't so far!

For dessert we all had the Serradura (Portuguese Sawdust Pudding) which was made with a meringued cream, whipped cream, and crushed cookies mixed together. Very delicious, not too sweet and not too filling. All around there was brick, stone and solid wood. I felt like I was in what I imagined a restaurant in Portugal would be like back in the day. The servers were friendly. I gives me the sense that it is a good place to have a range of events - from a business lunch to a celebratory party. There is lots of space in the restaurant with different rooms. One room seemed specifically set up for large parties whereas another room was set up like a typical restaurant.

My wife, Cindy, and I recently planned to celebrate our anniversary with dinner at Rios Brazilian…read moreSteakhouse. We've enjoyed Rios in the past, and because I have very little free time, it's been more than a year since our last visit. We looked forward to a quiet evening together. I found the Rios business card I had saved, called the telephone number printed on it, spoke directly with a woman at the restaurant, and made a reservation. At no point during that conversation did she mention that Rios had moved from Nazareth to Easton about a year earlier. She also did not ask whether we knew about the new location or confirm the current address. On the evening of our reservation, we drove to the address on the business card, only to find the restaurant permanently closed. Understandably confused, I called the same telephone number again. Someone answered and then told me Rios had moved to downtown Easton. We immediately drove to the new location. Unlike the former restaurant, which had its own parking lot, the Easton location required us to circle around, search for downtown street parking, and scour our vehicle and belongings for quarters since we didn't bring a credit card to pay for metered parking. After everything we had already been through, we still arrived only a few minutes late for our reservation. When I entered the restaurant, I explained what had happened and why I was upset. I will be honest: I was frustrated, and the conversation became heated. However, our complaint was simple and reasonable. When someone calls the restaurant to make a reservation, especially using the same telephone number the restaurant has used for years, the employee taking the reservation should confirm the current location. One sentence during that telephone call could have prevented the entire situation. We were not looking for anything free. We were not asking for special treatment. All we wanted was an acknowledgment that the situation could have been better handled and an apology. Instead, the hostess became defensive. When my wife entered and tried to explain that we simply wanted someone to understand why we were upset, we were told we were not welcome to eat at Rios and had to leave. After owning and operating businesses for many years, I understand that mistakes happen. What matters is how a business responds when a mistake inconveniences a customer. A simple apology would have ended the matter. Instead, a preventable communication failure turned into an embarrassing and disappointing end to what should have been a special anniversary dinner with my wife. Because we were never allowed to sit down and eat, I cannot comment on the food at the new location. This review focuses strictly on the reservation process, the lack of communication, and how our concerns were handled once we arrived. I hope the owners take this seriously and ensure employees confirm the current Easton address when accepting telephone reservations, particularly from returning customers who may still have the restaurant's former business card. I also hope the staff receives better guidance on how to listen, apologize, and de-escalate a customer's concern rather than becoming defensive and turning the customer away. We left shocked, embarrassed, and deeply disappointed. This is not how loyal returning customers, or any customers, should be treated. We will NEVER eat at Rios Brazilian Steakhouse in Easton, Pennsylvania again.
