The only reason I did not give them a five star is because they did not have garlic bread (a Brazilian staple) Our server was outstanding and very attentive.

As with most other reviews mention, our stop here was for lunch on a day tour that was included in the price of the tour package. Every other group of diners also appeared to have been there in that capacity. Cruzeiro definitely felt almost like a cafeteria, with super white walls, tables, and decor. There is a swimming pool outside, that I am not sure what it's connected to, so that was odd. They did have the normal steakhouse Gauchos walking around with spokes of meats and food, and there were some side items in the middle of each table to share among the diners. Aside from the ambiance not being as upscale as other steakhouses we tried in Rio, the quality of meats also wasn't quite as top notch as the others either. Some were pretty fatty and others were sort of flavorless. I apologize sort of for comparing this to other highly acclaimed Brazilian Steakhouses, but it's hard to be impressed with Cruzeiro do Sol after trying those others. After reading other reviews, it appears that this steakhouse exists solely for the use of tours to offer a "lunch" option as part of the package. I would save your money (about $35 USD if you eat there outside of a tour) and eat elsewhere. Churrascaria Palace was only a tad bit more than that, and the ambiance and service there was ten times higher quality than that of Churrascaria Cruzeiro do Sol.

I showed up with my partners relatives and they put me on this spot and it was amazing. We showed on a busy day so our tables were on the road. Wasn't any problem but added on to our experience!

I definitely would love to come back here.
