Cheesecake Brulee
Vanity H.

First time here and I'd say I enjoyed myself and so did my boyfriend. It was a date night for us/early sweetest day gift to him. We also went to 13th floor haunted house right after which is 5min away. We starved ourselves until our reservation at 5pm. $49 best of brazil deal highly recommended! We got seated about 2min after we arrived. Caesar was our server and he was really nice! Gave us a crème brûlée cheesecake for our anniversary. The other servers were also kind and very attentive. They catered to us quickly - Loved the service! Tried the cold bar first and honestly just a bunch of different stuff that was just okay. My fav was their pork & beans + their sweet bacon (yummmyyyy). The meats came out SWINGING! Every time I tried talking to my boyfriend another person was showing up with meat! Lol Everything was okay but I got so full sooo quick. Their parmesan pork surprised me positively. Their cheese & honey was my personal favorite!

Lamb, filet, sausage, salad bar

We came here right after the airport to meet another couple for dinner! Service was pretty on top of making sure we had soda refills and everything we needed. I wish we could order just a bunch of the little cheese breads at once! Those are the best. We did the full churrasco experience and enjoyed the garlic steak, lamb, sausage and cheese+honey the best! I think next time I'd stick to the garlic steak and sausage as those were my faves. I didn't try any chicken but our party thought the chimichurri chicken was really good! I did appreciate that they ask if there's anything particular you'd like, if you say no to their offering. There were definitely times where all the offerings were out and times where it slowed down and there wasn't a lot out. Definitely an ebb and flow. My only issue was that it was quite loud and hard to hear staff or even across the table sometimes. Not necessarily the restaurants fault though! The parking is also a little confusing but ended up being fine -- the garage has free parking!

Good and nice display on the hot and cold salad bars. Welcoming and attentive service, considering the busy Holiday rush. Would highly recommend. Loved the chicken and the lamb chops.

Overall: Satisfied with the staff friendliness, cheese bread, meat quality, and buffet bar selection. Slightly dissatisfied with the wait time of certain requests (like an extra straw), the inability to understand which meats are being served to you, and the key lime pie. - Would I return?: Yes, if you like a unique restaurant experience, meat, and a variety, then it's a great place. Talking to your guests may be difficult because of the almost non-stop meat interruptions. But If you are having a large party or want to talk to your guests, I'd suggest going during lunch hour when it's not as loud. My Food (I paid for the unlimited buffet and meats) ---------- * Stand out meats: Rib Eye, Lamb (2 kinds), Pork Belly w/ lime & honey, Filet Mignon *Ordered menu food: Brazilian Lemonade, Key Lime Pie * Flavor & Taste- First off, the free Brazilian cheese breads are one of the best parts. And they will keep bringing them out for you. My favorite meats are the lambs and the filet mignon. The Brazilian lemonade is also great and they will keep refilling. For the buffet bar, I love the wide selection. The rice, roasted veggies, and Greek salads are my favs. Personally, I hated the key lime pie I ordered. The crust was on the mushy side and tasted like mashed black beans. Was also disappointed with the "goat cheese with honey" squares that was served by the staff. I was expecting it to melt in my mouth but it tasted stiff. * Portion Size vs. Price- $65 each for all-you-can-eat during dinner (half off during lunch). For quality meats and a wide selection, I think it's worth it. The Place -------------- * Atmosphere- Large seating area that opens up to more space. Interior design is on the fancier side. People either dress up to attend, or they are very casually dressed. * Service- Table waiters are extremely friendly and over the top helpful. Though, I asked for a drink straw and waited at least 5 minutes while also asking another staff member. My friend also requested a specific meat and needed to ask the wait staff multiple times before actually getting it to the table. You will also always have a staff member ask to clear off plates from your table many times throughout your meal. The meat staff do not speak clearly or loudly when walking up to your table, so I needed to ask multiple times which meat they are serving, and sometimes I still did not understand. Not a big deal though. * Crowd Levels- Monday, 6pm, busy * Cleanliness- Clean, but there are sometimes tiny flies in the air. * Location- In a very nice Rosemont restaurant park, separate from the other restaurants. * Parking- Free parking garage (it's a confusing garage and you will need to walk 1/4 mile to the restaurant and validate your ticket) or $15 restaurant valet

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Came here on Saturday 3/22/25. Was visiting from California to see my son in the Navy. The service was exceptional! My Customer Service Representative was Nick. He made sure that my experience there with my family was pleasant and memorable. He took care of all of our needs and requests, was very personable, and very knowledgeable about all of the different menu items, and cuts of meat. All of the food was great. We came during brunch, and the waffles were delightful. Not heavy, very light, had a nice crisp around the edges and a nice flavor. Thank you, Nick for a pleasant dining experience thank you to the rest of the staff. Hope to see you next time we're visiting.

Amazing company dinner here. The amazing and delicious fire roasted cuts of meat was all top notch quality. Love the filet mignon, lamb chops, bacon wrapped steaks, picanha, top sirloin and the pork belly was my favorites of the night. The Market Table was amazing with so many options for roasted veggies, salads and more. The service staff was wonderful and able to give attentive service to our big group. Wine glasses was always full, water glasses was filled. My negative feedback was the spacing of the BBQ meats was a bit rushed. I wished it was spaced out more to truly enjoyed the BBQ. The atmosphere was relaxing. And the private room felt like we were having a private dinner.

Salty meats and bloody filet mignon.  This fillet mignon was supposed to be medium well - NOT.
Chloe P.

We wanted to like this place, because it was the first time for most of us. Unfortunately, we had a bad experience and had to spend almost $700 for sub standard food and service. All of the meats we had were extremely salty and the cuts were mostly either dry or bloody. I think the meats they use is low quality and they had to cook them rare, so that they don't get tough and chewy. We were celebrating a birthday, so decided to splurge a little and go here. I wish we read the reviews and chose another restaurant. They may have served a lot of meat, but they did not taste good - salty, dry or bloody! The white table cloth got so disgusting looking because of the bloody meats they cut. We all had the indulgent churrasco which included the market buffet which had salads, soup, cheese, smoked salmon, etc. The meat was definitely NOT WORTH IT! The only thing I enjoyed was the cheese and honey. We also felt rushed here. The server Alyssa talked so fast and was moving around like a bee constantly asking if we needed anything else and always clearing our plates. When she gave the bill, she hovered around our table waiting for us to pay. We were only there for not even an hour. Definitely not a good experience, since we were charged an exorbitant amount for substandard food and rushed service. Will NOT go here again!

We stopped by after a Cubs game. Busy but well organized. We enjoyed all the salad bar options- fruit, veggies, meats and cheeses plus salads. We love our steak rare and were not disappointed. Many great meat options were offered. We were disappointed in the cheese bread- it wasn't as we remembered it. Tiny and more crunchy than soft. But we enjoyed our mojitos (regular and skinny) and dessert (mango and Ice cream). Not hard for 2 adults to rack up a $250 bill with tip. Service was efficient and friendly. Tables were filled and pretty close together- a bit of an adventure to go back and forth to the salad bar.

Beautiful Christmas tree inside second set of doors
Angela B.

We visited this restaurant on December 30, 2024 to celebrate my sons birthday and we brought along his girlfriend who was visiting for the first time. This facility was so beautifully decorated just inside the first doors and inside the second doors for the holidays 2024. Upon entering the second doors there is a tree to the left and just in front of that is the hostess station. To the left of the hostess station is the bar and in front of the bar is an area for seating and down the hall is the washroom (which I did not use). Straight ahead is the salad bar and to the right inside the restaurant is the seating area. We chose the whole experience for the four of us that included the salad bar and the meats. The salad bar at this location is by far my favorite of anywhere especially the fresh mozzarella and tomatoes and the fresh bread. There is a complentary cheese muffin that is very tasteful. There was also a cheese that was served with honey, not sure what it is called and cannot find it on the menu. We all enjoyed many types of meat, although I asked for the sausage it never came around sadly. The meat we did have was delicious! The team there are kind and helpful. They are fast as well between cleaning the plates to topping off the water and and coming around with the meat. Our server Johnathon was super kind and helpful. Was even kind enough to take a photo of us. Manager Nathaniel A is attentive to his guests needs and is good at what he does. It's clear your team runs well under your management. Kudos to you!

Adriana F.

My actual rating is 3.5. If you are a meat lover, true carnivorous this is your place. Excellent place for special celebrations. The service is really good, everyone is very attentive, and your plate, if you wish, is never empty. The salad bar, for me is the best part. A cornucopia of flavors, colors, textures, and aromas from a variety of veggies, fruits, salads, and charcuterie meats and cheeses. Their mixologists are knowledgeable serving a variety of cocktails, I enjoyed a good Negroni. The space is nice, specially during Christmas season. The price is reasonable as one can choose very good cuts of beef, lamb, and other meats and return to the salad bar unlimited times

We have been to many Fogo de Chaos over the years. This location doesn't disappoint Mauricio and his crew (Jasmine, Nick & Josh) were very attentive and made sure the service was top notch. The meat selection was spectacular. The drinks were phenomenal! There was live music while you ate. Really added to the ambiance. I just can't say enough about how much we love this place!

The salad bar is just as impressive, featuring an abundant selection of fresh vegetables, cheeses, and hot items that can easily stand on their own as a full meal. Every detail is thoughtfully presented, giving you plenty of options to customize your dining experience. What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service. The staff goes above and beyond, consistently refilling water glasses and wine without you ever needing to ask. Reservations are highly recommended to guarantee a table. For example, a 12:30 reservation was ready even earlier, with a convenient text notification at 12:10 letting us know the table was prepared. If you're looking to enjoy the experience at a better value, take advantage of their weekday lunch specials, which are often about half the price of dinner which makes it a great time to visit without sacrificing the experience.

If you are looking for a dining experience that feels like a celebratory event, Chama Gaúcha…read moreBrazilian Steakhouse is a masterclass in the art of churrasco. It manages to strike that rare balance between upscale sophistication and the high-energy "service at the speed of light" that defines a world-class steakhouse. ​Here is a breakdown of what makes it a magnificent choice. ​1. The Meats: A Carnivore's Symphony ​The star of the show is, without question, the Picanha. This prime cut of top sirloin is seasoned simply with sea salt and roasted to perfection. When the gaúchos carve it tableside, the outer layer is beautifully seared while the center remains incredibly succulent. ​Diversity of Cuts: From the garlic-heavy Cordeiro (lamb) to the tender Filet Mignon and the smoky Costela (beef ribs) that fall off the bone with the slightest nudge of a fork. ​The "Green Means Go" System: The service is relentless (in the best way). As long as your card is green side up, a parade of skewers will arrive, ensuring your plate is never empty. ​2. The Gourmet Salad Bar ​Calling it a "salad bar" feels like an understatement. It is an architectural display of fresh, high-end ingredients that could easily stand as a meal on its own. ​Highlights: Huge wheels of aged cheeses (like Grana Padano), smoked salmon, marinated artichokes, giant grilled asparagus, and traditional Brazilian feijoada (black bean stew). ​Freshness: Everything is crisp, vibrant, and replenished so frequently it feels like you're the first person to plate a serving. ​3. Atmosphere & Service ​The ambiance is warm, dimly lit, and refined, making it perfect for anything from a high-stakes business dinner to an anniversary. ​Authentic Hospitality: The staff are knowledgeable and move with a choreographed precision. They don't just serve food; they share the culture of the Rio Grande do Sul. ​The Sides: Don't overlook the warm pão de queijo (cheese bread) or the caramelized bananas, which serve as the perfect palate cleanser between savory bites. ​4. The Final Verdict ​Chama Gaúcha isn't just a meal; it's an investment in indulgence. You don't go there for a quick bite; you go there to be treated like royalty while exploring the very best of Southern Brazilian grilling. ​Pro Tip: Save a little room for the Papaya Cream dessert. It's light, refreshing, and topped with a swirl of Crème de Cassis to perfectly round out a heavy meal. 5 star

Caesar salad: Probably the weakest part of the meal, and not just because it was salad. Aside from the the capers, which didn't add much to the dish, this version of Caesar salad was rather boring, and just didn't feel like the kind of elevated fare you expect from a steakhouse. Petite filet: this was what you'd expect from a quality steakhouse. Perfectly cooked, quality steak. Nothing transcendental, but it's good. Dry aged rib eye: Again, you have to nail this if you're a steakhouse, and they did. Properly cooked, with a notable charcoal crust. If you don't like your steak with that kind of crust, be aware and ready to request something different. Edit: I'm posting this just in time for them to go out of business, sorry to hear it.

We had a phenomenal dinner on 12/26, which was bittersweet as we were told on a previous visit that…read morethe Lincolnshire location would cease operating after the end of the year. For starters, we had the onion rings. The main courses were the bone-in ribeye topped with Diablo shrimp for myself and the New York Strip for my wife. Corn brulee was our side. Dessert was mixed fruit with Chantilly cream. All was delicious, and now will be but a fond memory.

I had the pleasure to dine at Penumbra on a Thursday evening. We were celebrating a graduation and…read morethe staff were very welcoming when we arrived. I was visiting from out of town and was not familiar with the parking around the area. I asked one of the staff members and immediately they reassured me that the side street would raking was totally fine to park just so long as it wasn't the front of the building where you have to pay. The food started with a complementary potato soup which was flavorful and lovely. We got a round of drinks and one of our party didn't care for her drink and it was replaced no question. We had the flat iron steak, the chicken, and the salmon and each entree was wonderful. The proteins were all very tender and juicy. I was also very pleased with the salad that came first which was lightly dressed and very seasonal. We finished our dining experience with a slice of cheesecake. It was a nice cap to the end of a wonderful meal. I would recommend this restaurant for any occasion - I would love to come back and try some of the other items on their menu.

**Hidden gem!!!**…read more Penumbra is SUPER sexy and low-key elite. This is one of those spots that will make you look like a total restaurant pro if you take someone there or recommend it. The ambiance is intimate, romantic, and just feels exclusive without trying too hard. I took my girl there for her birthday and she absolutely loved it -- which is always the real test. We had the ribeye and the Rotini Bianco, and both were excellent. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful. The Rotini Bianco was rich, creamy, and done just right. Every dish felt intentional and well executed. Don't hesitate to book. If you're trying to impress or celebrate something special, this is the move.
