The wine was robust I ordered the T-bone steak and Pooh ordered the Fillet Mignon. Both of us asked for medium rare but both were more rare than medium. Still the steak melted in my mouth. Our server, Damian was great. He brought out a tray with the different cuts of steaks to show us what each looked like (see photo). He did the same for the desserts (see photo) I ordered the Lime Charlotte and Pooh chocolate mousse. I had no idea what a Charlotte was but it was amazing. It was like a key lime pie without the crust but layers of cake with chunks of lime curd throughout-sublime truly Pooh loved his mousse. The taste and texture was velvety and he enjoyed the extra crunch of the chocolate chips. A wonderful supper. No complaints!!!

We went to the listed location expecting the restaurant, but instead found a Cuban restaurant there. We double-checked the address and walked around the area just to be sure, but there was no sign of Rio Brazilian Steakhouse anywhere.

The location is fabulous. it is on the main strip on 5th Ave but on the second floor overlooking the hustle and bustle below. You get a great view with a romantic, peaceful atmosphere. The décor has a tropical vibe with lots of plants. The hostess, server and manager were all super nice and helped us choose the best items on the diverse menu. We started with some ceviche and stuffed jalapenos. Both were delicious. I order a glass of Malbec from Argentina- happy they had a decent wine selection as many places in Mexico only have good beer or tequila. For my entrée, I had bacon wrapped tiger shrimp on a bed of mashed potatoes. Yum!! Daniel had a lobster pasta dish and it was quite good too though I think we both preferred mine. The price was very reasonable - for 2 apps, 2 entrees and 2 glasses of wine it was $77 USD before tip. It would be nearly impossible to have that much for that price at a fine dining place here. Thanks for a lovely experience, Madre Tierra!

We had a truly phenomenal experience at the grill. I am normally rather skeptical of restaurants in…read morehotels because I usually don't have the best experience but the grill exceeded all expectations. The service was incredible and the sunset views from the restaurant are really to die for. To start we were given an incredible amuse bouche, which was a pumpkin soup that was incredibly tasty and left us extremely excited for the meal (which literally means it did its job!). We were also brought a nut bread, which was great, not too heavy but fresh and yummy with just a little butter. For our appetizer we went with the mussels and the coconut sauce that they were cooked in was heavenly and fresh. I had the salmon as my main dish and my friend went with the lobster burger. I also ordered a side of the mashed potatoes and grilled veggies because the salmon does not come with much. Both of these sides were great with my salmon. The mashed potatoes were creamy and the veggies were grilled perfectly. The assortment of veggies was carrots, zucchini, and asparagus. My friend LOVED the burger. In her words it was juicy and you could taste the flavor of every item on the burger. I tried a bite and definitely agree! The fries also come with a sriracha ketchup, which has a nice kick! We were soooooo full after all the food but we had to get dessert because we always do. We went with the chocolate mousse, which was very rich but nice with the vanilla ice cream. Overall we had a fantastic experience and I would for sure recommend the grill if you are staying at the grand Hyatt or just in the area! Also fun fact if you are staying at the hotel in Thursday's is lady night and they give you 50% off the bill! It really doesn't get better than that! (Not sure if this is all year long but it was the case in July during my stay)
