My friend is Brazilian, and she highly recommended we meet here in Windermere for lunch. I've been…read moreto various parts of Brazil with her over the years and she said the food here is as close as you can get to being in Brazil. She was definitely on the mark! The restaurant is open and spacious. The look is sleek and relaxing. Our waiter spoke both Portuguese and English and menus are available in both languages. (You may have to ask for an English menu.) My friend and I discussed the menu (it is huge!) and made recommendations as there are more options than you can imagine. She noted that everything here is fresh and that the Caipirinhas are made with real fruit juices. (Caipirinhas were my favorite drink of choice in Brazil and the ones made here are amazing!) I tried two of them - one made with coconut and lime and the other the traditional lime Caipirinha. The presentation of the coconut one was picture worthy (see pic) but maybe had too much ice as my glass was still half full of ice when I finished it. The lime one was superb! My friend ordered a virgin pineapple and mint mocktail and loved it. Although the prices seem a little high, you get plenty of food for the money. We took half of our meal home with us because we could not eat it all in one setting - and we only had an appetizer and an entree! I understand half orders can be placed so you may want to consider that as an option also. Now for the food! For the "appetizer" (it is huge!), we selected the Full Fritters Manolo Combo Special ($42). The dumplings consisted of 2 codfish, 2 shrimp with Brazilian creamy cheese, 2 black beans, 2 jerked beef and 2 short ribs. WOW!!! The fritters were amazing! They did not taste like dried-out fried fritters but were soft and moist and full of flavor! (See pic.) They were definitely a meal in themselves, and we took half of them home. What a savory mixture and an awesome way to start off my Brazilian food adventure! Fluffy pillows of happiness are how I would summarize these delicious fritters. My friend then recommended the Moqueca Capixaba for our entree. It was a velvety combination of mahi-mahi fish stew with shrimp, served with white rice and smooth fish yuca puree. She told me to place the puree on the side of the stew close to the rice as this puree is also a Brazilian delicacy. She was correct in all regards. What a delicious main course, and again, enough food to take home for additional enjoyment. Finally, the service was quite good. Our server was pleasant and although my friend and him conversed a lot in Portuguese, he also spoke English to make me feel comfortable as well. He even gave me a Boteco do Manolo rubber coaster as a small gift for my first time there. It definitely will not be my last visit! Obrigado, Boteco do Manolo, Obrigado!!

Fogo de Chao, who??? I would suggest to consider Rodizio…read moreGrill as an alternative since it is is very similar to Fogo where there is unlimited meats and open sides buffet. I was extremely impressed with their service as it's almost overwhelming because they keep coming over constantly with different meats until you turn your green place card over to red to signify that you are either done or taking a break from receiving more meat cuts. As a diner, it is a very good problem to have! Highlights: - plenty of tasty meat variety - unlimited side/salad bar - members receive birthday deal (sign up) - come hungry-prioritize protein -overwhelmingly quick service This location is near international Drive at a plaza known as The Point - great location if you are exploring the touristy regions and restaurants.

They offer complementary parking that's about 7 min walking (and could be hard to find spot as it's shared with a lot of places) The downside it's the price, in this price range you can go to other ones that offers better cuts as well as better items on salad buffet as carpaccio, smoked salmon, artichoke heart, etc. Because of the price and benefit would give 3 stars, but service was good so will give 4, but for the food 3 That's the downside, if they lowered their price or out premium cuts and premium items would be 5 Stars, but at this price range I don't recommend

We went earlier today, to celebrate my birthday. We've been…read moreto this location a few times in the past, but things have definitely changed. They don't have tablecloths any more and only white napkins. When we were here before, they offered guests the choice of white or black napkins to match the color of their clothing. It also seems like the dress code has become more relaxed. When we were here before, most people seemed to dress "business causal", but today a lot of people wore t-shirts and shorts. However, it was also Saturday afternoon and I bet a lot of tourists walked from the shopping plaza and outlet mall. The front lobby/ waiting area now only has 2 chairs on the right and 1 on the left. I could have sworn they used to have a few chairs and a couch. And one of the chairs was really beat up and looked like it needed a lot of repair work. We were seated immediately, though it was 12:20 on a Saturday and they had just opened, so there weren't many people in the place. We told the waiter that we had been here before, so he didn't need to go through the introduction. We ordered some drinks and then another server immediately brought out the sides: cheese bread, fried bananas, garlic mashed potatoes, and french fries. We said we didn't want the potatoes and fries, and it would have been nice if they asked what we preferred before bringing everything out. We then got some food from the salad bar and my wife though the lobster bisque was excellent. After we were done, the waiter took our plates away. But then he never came back with plates for the meats. He also didn't ask which meat we wanted to start with. We flipped our discs to green and the gauchos started coming by. The picanha and filet mignon were very good, but the filet mignon wrapped in bacon was a little tough. We asked about it and the gaucho said it's because they have to cook the meat longer to make sure the bacon is fully cooked. We then got some more food from the salad area. About halfway through, the waiter saw that we had stopped eating and asked if we were done. We said yes, thinking that he was asking if we were done with the fruits from the salad bar. He then brought over a dessert tray and asked if we wanted a dessert liquor. I said we're not done eating the meats. Then we had more meat. Then when we were done, he started to come over with the desserts, but my wife saw him and shook her head, so he didn't come to the table. He then brought over a plate with "Happy Birthday" written in icing with a candle for me to blow out. I don't know if I was supposed to get a free dessert because it was my birthday or if that's not offered here. I assume it's not offered here since the waiter didn't mention it. Though to be fair, we were stuffed and probably couldn't fit it.
