    This was our first time at this restaurant, and the atmosphere was incredibly relaxed. Our waitress, Mariah, was exceptional--extremely helpful and incredibly friendly. The food here is consistently delicious, and the lobster bisque is a must-try.

    We went in for my birthday lunch as a family. Our waiter-Michel was duper friendly, helpful, and always available. This was our first experience, lots of meat selection and salad bar/soup/other dishes selection. The price was reasonable and the ambiance was cozy. The restaurant was fancy, more business-type customers and not as many kids (although kids ages 12 and under get 50% off). Not as many selection for kids as well but they have fries, sausages/hot dogs, rice, potato gratins, and meats. I do wish they serve grilled pineapple but not in this restaurant. The waiter gave me a birthday cheesecake-which is sweet. Overall, not bad for 1st timer customers. The meat keeps coming - so you better have big appetite or you can call it quit lol (the staff knows when you quit once you flip the tab on the table to red)

    Texas de Brazil is a Brazilian steakhouse where servers bring around a variety of grilled meats and there's an amazing salad bar to kick things off. We came with a big group of about 18 people and went for the full churrasco experience. The salad bar had a lot to offer -- I really liked the smoked salmon and the lobster bisque was a nice touch. The veggies were super salty though, which made us drink a lot of water and feel full faster, so they weren't my favorite. We were seated in a cozy nook that was perfect for a big group, with mirrors all around and a warm, comfortable vibe. Because of the layout, it took a little longer for the servers to reach us, but they were friendly and did their best to keep things moving. The mashed potatoes were cheesy and garlicky -- delicious -- and the cheese bread was also a hit. Some of the chicken was a bit dry, but the lamb and medium rare beef cuts were great. Picanha was my favorite. Overall, we had a fun night with good food and great company.

    Typically I'm enamored with Texas de Brazil. Not so much in this case. We made a reservation on OpenTable for Mother's Day. We figured it'd be busy, and well, we were indeed correct. Now this location is a stand alone location, which was a bit odd. We are used to seeing this chain being part of shopping plazas, but here they happened to have their own building. Did it make a difference? I believe it did and not necessarily in a good way. I will explain. This location is smaller than what I'm accustomed to, coming from Miami where this chain is everywhere. Heck, go to Central Florida and visit the Tampa location to boot and same deal. Consequently, given the size, you'd expect better service, but I will tell you this is not the case. I was asked how I wanted my meat as apparently medium rare is the default at this location. I answered medium as that's the lowest I can go, despite my preference being well done. Not to mention, too, that my companion is a medium rare type of guy, but we usually compromise on medium and go from there. Well, I will tell you that the meats were all over the place. Some were undercooked, some were overcooked, and although the servers figured it out by the end, I'm not accustomed to this. Rather instead I'm accustomed to being surrounded by a dozen servers with meat skewers, with the same meats in varying temperatures. Rare? Medium? Well done? We got it all, and if we don't, we will have it for you! This type of service is sadly not available at this location. Someone else may say they prefer the quiet way the servers leave you alone, but frankly I hated it. If I'm spending good money to dine, then I expect to fullheartedly enjoy my food and that was not the case here. This isn't to say I didn't enjoy my food at all. The salad bar was on point and the goodies they brought to the table divine. The pão de queijo in particular impressed me as it had just been freshly made. Perhaps I should've been more aggressive in asking for meat well done, but I didn't feel there was a point to it. I also didn't want to be known as that customer. You know the type. The customer everyone wants to kill. I think I may be known as that customer anyway as I told the waiter, Arturo, what I thought. He was a nice man and listened to me, so I hope at least my comments help the restaurant. After that conversation, we ordered a dessert, sampled it to then have it packed to go, and paid. Other than that, things to know - well, good luck finding a particular meat because the men holding the skewers don't stay with a particular meat. The leg of lamb man was also the same one who brought the chicken out. Be aware, too, that you will be forgotten and will have to repeatedly ask for what you want. Not sure if this is due to the size of the location or how things are structured, heck even the day we went (apparently they were expecting 900+ people that day). At any rate, this was okay at best. I do not think it was worth the money and normally I'm enamored with this chain. Oh well - I am hoping it was just a dud. For now though, if able, go to Miami or Tampa. You'll have better service there!

    My boyfriend has been wanting to try a Brazilian steakhouse for a while now and we finally got the chance to go! Texas De Brazil was pretty fancy when you first walk in, with gold and red accents around the place. There's also a large parking lot so no worries there. Our waitress explained everything to us when we arrived since we had never been. She was extremely polite, attentive, and helpful! I started off with the Sammy's Mojito Royale ($13.50) which was very sweet and tasty. My boyfriend tried the Carnaval ($11.50) and also liked it. Starting with the salad bar, I had always heard rave reviews and I guess I was expecting a little bit more? Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy what I had (especially the seasonal Moqueca de Camarao a coconut milk shrimp dish!), but it may have been overhyped. They also bring out Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Cheesy Bread, and Fried Bananas. I loved the creamy mashed potatoes and the sweet bananas, but the bread had a weird "underbaked" consistency, I'm guessing from the cheese. Once you're ready for the meats, you flip your little card from red to green. And boy do they come fast! Within 5 minutes of flipping our card, our plates were full. My top three were the Picanha, the Parmesan Drumettes, and the seasonal Grilled Shrimp!!! I also liked the flank steak, but honestly a lot of the meat tasted basically the same. Because of this, I would probably not rush back, but those top 3 that I listed really have me questioning this haha! Pro tip: if you sign up for their emails, you'll get a $20 off 2 adult meals (I think it excludes Saturdays)!!

    Mediocre food paired with poor service. We won't be returning. Our server took an unusually long time to bring out the cheese bread and sides--they arrived when we were already halfway through our meal. The manager appeared busy but didn't make any effort to check in or notice that our table was missing key ítems y

    Food was excellent the salad / side bar had a lot of variety from smoked salmon to scalloped potatoes. They had lamb beef and sausage different cuts the meats were all cooked perfectly. The only drawback is they were a little slow but it was a Saturday afternoon they were not fully staffed. But the service was excellent. It is a a little pricy but if your wanting a lot of food an meat this is the place

    Can I just say I'm speechless? From the extraordinary entrance to the juicy meat, every person's dream will come true! We walked in to smiley and friendly faces. The lighting and decor were amazing. The salad bar was right in the center of the restaurant with endless delicious options to choose from. Goat cheese was my top favorite. They even had TABOULI salad I have to say the table we were seated at was wobbly and we weren't that comfortable because their tables are small for an all you can eat and it was four of us. Most importantly, the meat was die for! So delicious with rare to well done options going around. The waiters bring the meat around were so polite and amazing that we gave one of them a tip! I highly recommend if you need an endless steak date!

    Meat sweats and veggies

    Welp, when you think all Brazilian Steakhouses are the same, they are surely not. We ate at Texas de Brazil recently. It was something I was so looking forward to. You see, I love me some Brazilian Steakhouses, Churrasco meats, Meat Sweats...the whole nine. We came here as a group of 8. We were seated towards the back of the room, near the Churrasco Kitchen. Our table was technically 15 feet near the kitchen. We could smell every aroma of all the meats being grilled. We were so ready to eat, so ready to throw down some foods. So why a 2 STAR rating? Let me give you the breakdown. Gauchos (2/5): As mentioned, we were a group of 8 hungry people, 15 feet away from the Churrasco kitchen, where all the Gauchos comes in and out of. Oddly, 75% of the time, we didn't receive much notice nor visit from them, like our table was invicible. Folks, it's hard to miss a table of 8...full of Asians. First 20 minutes after flipping that card to green to let all the all the Gauchos know that we are ready..sadly they were not ready for us. We had to flag some of the Gauchos down majority of the time. Again, it felt as if they did not see our table at most times which was pretty frustrating. Our Hungry turned into Hangry, and it really killed our ready-to-feast vibe. Service (2/5): Not going to disclose our server's name, but I felt like he was not attentive enough to the needs of our table. Additionally we had to address to him repeatedly how our table was getting missed by the Gauchos but all we got was false promises and actions. Food (4/5): The meats; the ones that made it out to our table were nicely seasoned. Get the Picanha and the Lamb Chops, soooo good. Looking back into all the meats that could have tried since we tried the Full Experience, we did not see the Lamb Chops nor the Braised Beef Ribs make it to our table. Bummer. Kudos to the Hot Bar, it was nicely stocked with nice selections. Price (5/5): To be fair, Texas de Brazil's ''Full Experience" at $50.99 is the cheapest compared to the other Brazilian Steakhouse locally: Fogo de Chao ($58) and Terra Gaucha ($54.95). As the old saying goes "You get what you pay for". With that said, I'll conclude by saying, I will pay a little more and take my hard earned money elsewhere for some good Brazilian Steakhouse yummies and better service.

    Wonderful evening with the family. The ambiance was perfect. The food was absolutely amazing but what made the experience even better was the service, specifically Everson! He was funny, explained the food well and was very attentive. While he was serving pork most of the night, he made a point to get us the best steak, which is what we really wanted. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back!! Sincerely, Dalia

    I really enjoyed trying the different cuts of meat, and that they cooked them to medium rare doneness for the evening. My favorites were probably the picanha, filet mignon and surprisingly the parmesan chicken! The service was nice and the meats came around at a decent pace. The salad bar was pretty good too and definitely needed to accompany the steak. Ambiance was alright, I expected it to be fancier but it was a brighter, more family-centered atmosphere.

We've been here once before. We really liked it but it's been a while since then. We started with the Pao de Queijo, which is the cheesy bread you usually get at a Brazilian steakhouse. We both love this kind of bread and theirs was fantastic. I ordered the Pinanha Rustica and I am so happy that's what I settled on. I ordered the beef medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. The Chimichurri sauce was good but honestly, the beef didn't need the help. The thing that surprised me the most was how much I loved the Biro-Biro Rice as a side. It was a really unique combo of things I've never had together before. I would probably go back and order an entree of just that if they offer it! My wife ordered the Costela Ao Molha Madeira Com Risotto de Parmesao. She really liked how the risotto was super cheesy. She said it actually reminded her of the cheesy bread. The beef short rib was very tender and juicy. She said it was a simple dish that added up to something special. We rarely order dessert but decided to split the Petit Gateau de Doce de Leite. It was so rich, dense and delicious. The pecan ice cream with it was great as well. It was small but enough for us to split. I'm bummed I forgot to get our servers name because he was fantastic. We really need to not go so long between visits because this visit was just as good as the last one. This review originally appeared in the Jacksonville Fun, Eats & Drinks Facebook group.

What really sets this place apart is the personal touch--the chef comes out to greet guests, makes sure everyone is enjoying their meal, and takes the time to get to know his customers.

The restaurant itself is small, cozy, and has great vibes, making it perfect for an intimate dining experience. If you're planning to come with a larger group, I would definitely recommend making a reservation. Families with young children will appreciate the thoughtful touches as well. They provide crayons and paper to keep little ones entertained while waiting for their meal. Great food, wonderful hospitality, and a warm atmosphere--I highly recommend this place!

They were crispy on the outside, warm on the inside, and filled with flavorful meat. The sauces paired perfectly with them and made an already great appetizer even better. For my entrée, I ordered the Bandeja Paisa, and it did not disappoint. The meats were the star of the plate. Everything was juicy, cooked perfectly, and seasoned just enough without being overpowering. The steak was surprisingly tender despite being well done, with just the right amount of fat. The sausage had a great snap, the egg was perfectly jammy, and the chicharrón was absolutely incredible--crispy, crunchy, and easily one of the best I've had. I didn't try the sweet plantains since I'm not a fan and they couldn't be substituted. The arepa was good, although nothing particularly memorable. The only parts of the meal I wasn't impressed with were the rice, which was a bit too salty for my taste, and the beans, which lacked flavor and were underwhelming. For dessert, I tried both the tiramisu and the chocolate cake. The tiramisu was just okay--it wasn't bad, but it didn't stand out, and I wouldn't order it again. The chocolate cake, however, was outstanding. It was incredibly moist, rich without being overly sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, Salento does an amazing job with their meats, and that's what I'd recommend most. While a couple of the sides and one dessert didn't quite hit the mark for me, the empanadas, Bandeja Paisa, chicharrón, and chocolate cake were all excellent. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. The environment is pretty nice and quiet.

Not my first visit but was surprised at the turn up and live Dj helping catch the vibes. Service wasn't as fast as it usually is but the couples next to us helped pass the time. Food wasn't rushed because of the crowd and was absolutely delicious. Only thing I didn't ask for was a side of cheeks with my meals. Some women should dress accordingly especially at a restaurant where children could possibly be in attendance. If there was a cutoff time for children, I didn't see it. Club setting perfectly fine but a restaurant.... All in all we still had an amazing time and I will return but at an earlier time and different day.

    I decided to give this place a shot while free for lunch one day and was pleasantly surprised. This…read morehas been my favorite restaurant of 2026 so far from the quality ingredients making up the food to the superb service offered by the staff. I got here as they opened on Sunday, and it got packed relatively quickly. I'd recommend having a reservation if you're planning to visit during busier timeframes like this. I was seated promptly by attentive staff, and quickly had both food and drink menus to begin ordering. I was looking for something tasty without being too heavy, and settled on the Little Hans Vienna Lager along with the 8 oz steak burger and fries. The beer had amazing flavor similar to Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager with a good, crisp finish. The burger meal, described with "Tillamook cheddar cheese, caramelized onion & bacon jam, beef fat aioli, grilled potato roll, truffle fries", was arguablely the best burger and fries I've ever had in my life. Everything tasted fresh, and the flavor of the wood-fired grill certainly complemented the meat. The house-made pickles were a great touch to add another layer of complexity to the burger. I could tell the fries were fresh cut and never frozen. The truffle oil made these even more amazing. The manager offered and brought a special sauce to try that they normally serve with their chicken chicken sandwich that was superbly tasty and tangy. More than impressed with my entree, I elected to try a desert and was recommended the S'mores pie by my waitress. The deliciously buttery crust was my favorite part of the ensemble and blended well with the savory chocolate filling topped with a toasted marshmallow. While a bit pricey for lunch compared to most places, I was more than satisfied with the offerings provided here and would love to visit Ember and Iron again. Give my number one choice of 2026 thus far some love!

I ordered the rib eye medium. The rib eye was mostly fat. I expect some with this cut but it was too much. The side for both dishes were very good. We ordered the corn bread in cast iron and it was excellent. I hate giving bad reviews but I have to this time. We won't complain during the meal either. I apologize for this review but going out a meal is special and we expected more.

    My family and I had a fabulous meal here! Cocktails, apps, entrees, and service were all excellent…read moreand I have been recommending this place since we went! My part of five got the crushed pineapple martini, plain espresso martini, smoked old fashioned, vodka martini and cosmo. All the drinks were great- there are several cocktail options and many are sweet, but they do have good variety, including 3 types of espresso martinis. Beautiful glassware, which I love. For apps we got focaccia (nothing special really), oysters Rockefeller (so amazing!) For sides we had a loaded baked potato (SO huge), lobster Mac, Brussels, and asparagus. Everyone seemed to enjoy, I didn't eat too much since my meal came with risotto. I ordered the special for the night- filet, crispy shrimp, and southern sweet corn risotto. The whole table loved the shrimp and risotto! I really enjoyed it- never had risotto like this, but am not sure it paired well with the filet, but I still ate it all together :) 4 of us ordered steaks and they were all cooked exceptionally well. We eat at steak houses often so we were very impressed! My boyfriend got the lamb and added a lobster tail, both had amazing presentations and he was happy too. I've seen some reviews saying this place is pricey, however the portions reflect this. The level of service, presentation, and how good the food is make it entirely worth it. We were seated near an anniversary and a birthday party, so it was nice to see everyone having a great time. Trent was very attentive and gave us so much info about the menu, answered questions, and laughed at dad jokes. Melanie, the manager checked on us to ensure we were having a great time! The hosts and back servers were also great, utensils always there and water always full. They boxed our food at the table for us and the leftovers have been reheating well for a couple of days :P Thank you Melanie and Trent for a great night!

We also had lobster which was tender and cooked to perfection with a side order of Brussels and truffle fries. The dessert and cocktails were the perfect ending to the night. Our server was attentive, funny, made good recommendation based on price point, and the ambiance was clean and perfect for a special occasion. My only criticism is that they be stricter on the dress code policy.

My server was attentive, knowledgeable, and seemed to have the perfect balance of checking in when needed while still giving me plenty of space to relax and enjoy my meal. The Eggs à la Orsay were a creative and elevated take on Eggs Benedict, featuring black truffles that added a rich, luxurious flavor without overpowering the dish. Paired with a mimosa, it made for a fantastic brunch experience. The real showstopper was dessert. The Black Forest Silk Pie, topped with toasted meringue, raspberry, and Bing cherries, was absolutely delicious--decadent yet beautifully balanced. My server also recommended a glass of cava to accompany it, and the bubbles were the perfect complement. Great food, outstanding service, and thoughtful recommendations made this a memorable brunch. I'll definitely be back.

    Restaurant Orsay is one of those places that feels elevated the moment your food hits the table and…read morethis dish was a perfect example of why. The presentation alone was stunning. A beautifully seared piece of chicken with crispy, golden skin, plated over what looked like creamy mashed potatoes, surrounded by a rich, glossy sauce. The mushrooms and caramelized onions added depth and made the whole dish feel thoughtfully composed, not just thrown together. Flavor-wise, it delivered. The chicken was juicy with that perfect crisp on the outside, and the sauce tied everything together in a way that felt indulgent but balanced. Every component had a purpose, and you could taste the level of technique behind it. I love coming here to celebrate birthdays as it's such a great spot for special occasions. The ambiance, service, and quality of food make it feel like a true experience every time. Orsay really nails that refined, French-inspired dining vibe: elegant, rich, and consistently memorable.
