Lobster bisque from the salad bar
Aaron N.

Ambience: The restaurant has a very modern look to it, and feels comfortable overall. The decor is pretty nice and creates a welcoming atmosphere, although it would be betterv if the place was a bit cleaner, but it is what it is. One thing I did notice is that the tables are placed pretty close together, so it can be a little difficult to move around when it's busy. Service: We had a reservation for 7 PM, and despite it being a busy night, we were seated pretty quickly. Our waiter Sydney was very friendly and informative. Although, the restaurant was very busy, it was sometimes difficult to find our waiter when we needed some refills or wanted to make some requests. It also took a while for us to get the check and pay, which was a slight inconvenience at the end of our dinner. Drinks: Passion Fruit Limeade - it was very fresh and refreshing. I enjoyed it, but i think $20 for a whole jug is a little bit pricey. Food: Spicy Sirloin - The sirloin had a good level of spice that wasn't that overpowerin. It was very tender and easy to cut into. Picanha - got it medium, and it had a great flavor without being overly salty, and it was also very tender. Tri-Tip - I got a thin slice that was cooked medium throughout. It was a little fatty in some areas, but the char on the outside added a lot of flavor to it. Sausage - i think it was okay. It was a little on the saltier side, but still very flavorful. Ribs - The ribs were mostly plain, and I could barely taste the sauce that it had on the outside, but the meat was tender and came off the bone easily. Falnk Steak - i got it thinly sliced, and it was tender and nicely seasoned. It tasted good, although it did seem similar to some of the other cuts that were served Salad Bar: - The salad bar has a good variety of hot and cold items. I liked the potatoes and the lobster bisque. Sides: When you first start out, they give you some Sides at your table. French Fries - The fries were crispy, but a bit dry and they could use some more seasoning or flavor. I think they would be better with some sauce, but fries are fries! Mashed Potatoes - they were light, buttery, and paird well with all of the meats. Cheese Bread - THey were served fresh and had a nice texture. These were probably my favorite sides during the visit! Also a bathroom review lol: - The bathroom is nicely decorated, but it could do with some more maintenance.

Poor service. The waiters ignored us for most of the night. We had to ask to be served. The bathroom was dirty and graffiti was cut into the toilet. When I informed the manager he seemed to not care.

We visited this restaurant for the first time to celebrate my husband's fire academy graduation, and we were very pleased with the experience. My husband and son are big red meat eaters, and they were pleasantly surprised by the variety of meats offered. I was a bit nervous about the cooking level since my husband prefers his meat well done, but the servers were great about bringing around both well-done and rarer options, which made it easy for everyone to enjoy. I was also happy that they don't charge a full price for toddlers, especially since my daughter didn't eat much, the food was a bit too heavy for her taste. Since I don't eat red meat, I stuck to the Parmesan chicken and shrimp which were part of the skewer options, both really good. The buffet area also had a nice fish option with a flavorful sauce, as well as very good rice. The pricing includes all-you-can-eat skewers along with access to the buffet. You're also served bread, fries, and mashed potatoes at the table, which was very convenient. After dinner, we tried dessert. My husband chose the cheesecake and said it was the best he's ever had. They don't offer complimentary desserts or messages by default, but I asked if they could write "Congratulations" on the plate, and they kindly did, which I really appreciated. I also ordered a coffee afterward and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. As someone who prefers dark roast, it met my expectations for both flavor and strength. I would definitely recommend this location for celebrations. The service was attentive, the restaurant was well stocked, and the food was consistently enjoyable.

The plates that were exchanged for them.  all 11 of them.

We drove up from San Diego for a friend's 50th birthday party. Her husband created the event and had been in contact with the manager to ensure it was fantastic. Unfortunately, they didn't even try. We were placed on the outdoor patio; there were 18 of us. First issue, they didn't set the tables for the correct number of people. Second issue, we had to beg and plead to have the gauchos serve us. They would come to the door, say who would like XXX, and if someone didn't immediately raise their hand, they would go back inside. Even if one of us raised our hand, they would not go around the entire table asking people if they would like to be served that meat. Third issue, my husband and I were served undercooked pork. They removed them from our plates immediately, and we never saw pork again. Fourth issue, if we requested a specific item, we would have to ask several times until someone served us our food. Fifth issue, they never brought out the accompanying items that are automatically served on the table, ie, cheese bread, mashed potatoes, bananas, etc. We would have to wait until our server came out to the patio and then request the items. They would NOT ask if anyone else at the table would care for anything. Sixth issue, they acted as if we were in drought conditions, asking for water was torture. We finally got up and brought over our own pitchers to the table. The seventh issue was that the busboys kept trying to take our plates away. Several times, one of us would have to grab our plate back. EIGHTH issue, when it was time for the cake, they brought us a steak knife to cut the cake, NO serving utensil, and saucers from coffee cups as our dessert plates. I asked for larger plates, and they brought us 11 HOT dinner plates. Just a reminder, there were 18 of us seated. You do the math; they certainly couldn't. I love Brazilian steakhouses, this one is almost the worst one I have been to, it comes in at a very close second. I would never return to this location. I felt sorry for the birthday girl. She was given ZERO love; they didn't even know who the birthday girl was. HORRIBLE representation for the Texas de Brazil franchise.

Mashed potatoes, French fries, plantains, and bread

So we came here on a evening outing since we hadn't tried it yet. Now I will say this, the style of people coming here ranges wildly from business casual to shorts and t-shirts which I thought was funny. We couldn't tell if this was supposed to be a classy upscale or low key family joint. The "Open Table" reservation system, table settings, full bar, and lighting scream moderately upscale but the salad bar/buffet style says bring your kids. The salad bar itself was fairly cramped space wise trying to maneuver around other people plus if you're tall, like me, you're going to be running your head into the hanging plants directly over the salad bar which is weird. The salad bar was decently stocked with options from salads to quinoa and green beans. The hot options ranged from jasmine rice, potatoes au gratin, and lobster bisque. For the main pieces, servers walked around with meats on a skewer serving them as requested. These included chickens, lamb, and beef various ways. Now overall, the food had good flavor and was cooked well. The price for the meal, $62 per person, wasn't too outrageous given all you get, considering they just keep coming with meat until you flip your table card to red. Be warned, if you come at peak times, be prepared for it to be crowded.

First time coming here and absolutely amazing in everything Food was an endless supply of delicious meats, the service was fast, and the overall experience and vibes were great. They offer a huge selection of drinks too so you get the best of both worlds 100% will be coming back

The food is good. The Service can definitely use some help and what I mean by that is not the people that serve the meats however the waiter. I have no idea why they even get a tip. He didn't do anything and trying to get a refill on my water took forever. The food is good, but self serve so again why even include gratuity especially if it's going to go to the waiter?

Our go-to Brazilian steakhouse! This is hands down one of our favorite Brazilian spots, and honestly... we definitely prefer it over Fogo de Chão. There's plenty of parking, and we came back for the third year in a row for our Valentine's dinner -- it's basically a tradition at this point. Pro tip: book at least 3 weeks ahead, and if you want to save yourself from the Valentine's chaos, go the day before or after. The crowd wasn't too wild tonight, but the restaurant was still PACKED (because everyone knows it's good). The ambience is always a win -- super open, lively, and the whole place just feels fun and inviting with so much food everywhere you look. Now, first-timers... listen closely: do NOT let the fries, mashed potatoes, cheese bread, and other "fillers" trick you. They are delicious, but they will absolutely take you out before the main event. Pace yourself!! They brought around 6-7 different cuts of meat, including picanha, filet steak, chicken parmesan, BBQ drumsticks, sausage, and more. Everything was flavorful and juicy, but we honestly got full way too fast thanks to the salad bar. And that salad bar? So many options -- fresh salads, sides, little goodies... it's dangerously easy to overdo it. We went to the Rancho location, which is cheaper than Irvine, and I actually prefer this one more. Dinner was about $62 per person, which is a great deal for the quality and endless meat parade. If you're craving steak + a loaded salad bar in a clean, welcoming spot, this is an absolute must-try. Shoutout to Juan for the awesome service tonight -- thank you for making our dinner extra special! We'll definitely be back (again and again).

My family has eaten at several Texas de Brazil locations, but the RC location was one we haven't been to yet. I made and received a confirmed reservation via my OpenTable app for a 1730 time slot on a Saturday night. I also responded affirmatively that we were celebrating an event. I allowed plenty of time to arrive here, yet the traffic in and around this restaurant is an absolute cluster, especially on Foothill Blvd: one might consider entering this shopping center parking lot from a different direction using other surface streets. Parking anywhere near this restaurant adds yet another several minutes of finding a parking space, even when you distance yourself farther away. Once parked, the wait to check in was short. I was greeted by a friendly hostess who confirmed my reservation and party size and again asked if we were here for a celebratory event. I replied affirmatively and told her we were celebrating our youngest son's graduation from a nearby Technical school. Our reservation name was soon called, and we were escorted to our table. The first observation I made was how cramped this restaurant felt as we walked between already occupied diners sitting at their tables. The tables are so close to each other that a gentleman kept shoving his chair into our table every time he got up from his table; his wife finally caught on by my wife's evil look at her and grabbed his chair to prevent this. After we were seated, a very personable and efficient young gentleman introduced himself to our table as "Curtis". He asked the standard questions regarding our dining experience(s) at Texas de Brazil and took our drink orders. Once that was done, he let us loose to check out the buffet area. I understand that 1730 is in the realm of the prime dinner hour. However, I was not expecting what was presented to us and fellow diners at this location. 1. It seems that because this Texas de Brazil is scaled down in size overall, the buffet area is much smaller than other locations we've eaten at. 2. The smallness of the buffet creates a swarm of hungry folks dodging in and around the buffet offerings, because it seems the staff was not keeping up to ensure there was not any offering completely missing (like the Prosciutto). Folks kept cutting in front of me as soon as they brought out a fresh plate. 3. The hot offerings when we looked were all empty or left with sadly only a couple of servings left. I mean, how do you not have enough plain rice, rice and beans, and all the other hot offerings staged in the kitchen area area ready to deploy on the depleted buffet line during the busy dinner hour rush????? As always, the parade of meats arrived from the kitchen to be offered to our table. As always, the meats we chose were absolutely delicious, juicy, and seasoned properly. I did notice there is a subtle way they get you to finish dinner: the meat parade slows down. In fact, I was observing the entire room of diners: they started asking us what meat or meats you would like more of, specifically sent from the kitchen. Throughout our dining experience at this Texas de Brazil, our server, Curtis made it a truly enjoyable celebratory dinner for us. He was there on cue to bring more bottled water, refilling our goblets as needed, making sure what meat selections we liked were bought out again, and suggested a meat (Spicy Sirloin) to try whiuch our son and I really liked. It has a nice heat element to it, so be aware. The one negative that occurred here was that both my wife and I, a couple of hours after eating, suffered minor G.I issues. It took several minutes to compare what we all ate, but the only common item that both of us ate, and our son didn't, was the whipped goat cheese spread. While we really enjoyed our dinner at this location, this restaurant's physical size, closeness of the dining tables, and inability to keep the buffet food items adequately stocked during the dinner hour rush are shortcomings that will probably be the deciding factor to drive further to the Irvine location for future Texas de Brazil meals.

Came for my brother's birthday lunch a few weekends ago. Our first time at this establishment and we enjoyed it. We had reservations at noon so the restaurant just opened when we arrived. The proteins came so fast our plates filled very quickly. Everything i had was tasty but one was a bit tough to chew. None of us could remember which cut it was since there were so much. All time fave is the picanha wherever Brazilian steakhouse i go to, it never fails. I browsed a little at the salad bar and grabbed a variety cheeses. The cheese bread is always a hit too. Service was very good, staff were attentive and quick. Restaurants were clean and beautifully decorated. We all left very full that we didn't have space for any desserts.

We had a 12:00, entering the restaurant the ambiance was very beautiful well lit room, we arrived at opening and everything was up and running. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly, the salad and sides were delicious, what I liked most is that they asked you how you like your meat, and they would slice it based on your preference rare, medium rare, medium, medium and...that was a nice touch, also they asked if you wanted a specific item brought around and they promptly brought your request, my only complaint and it's a small one is that some of the cuts were a bit salty for my taste, overall it was a great experience

Stephanie C.

MEATS! great place for carnivores! $65 Brazilian BBQ where gauchos go around with giant skewers or swords with different meats. They slice the meats in front of you and you grab the slice with tongs or in some cases, the pieces are put on your plates. Meats range from beef, chicken, lamb, shrimp and pork all served different ways. I was there for the picanha and only picanha! My favorite cut! There's also a salad bar, but has more than salads. They have soups, rice, beans, grilled pineapple, etc. don't forget the chimichurri and roasted garlic to compliment your meats! Server brings mashed potatoes, Brazilian cheese bread, fries and cinnamon plantains to the table. These are unlimited as well. Just don't fill up on these, but the bread is incredible! Soft mochi texture with cheese melted within. Service is great! Server was very attentive and friendly!! Plenty of parking. Made reservations on their website. So easy!

There are plenty of parking spaces. I didn't know they have reservation option, but the wait was not bad about 10 mins. Even though it's weekday, it could get packed. Reservation might be a good idea if planning to go eat after 6pm. The inside of this Brazilian steak-house is very nice. Service was good, attentive, and informative of all types of meats and desserts. The food was delicious, all-you-can-eat grilled meat carved tableside & a salad bar. Overall, I had a wonderful experience for the first timer. Get to experience different kinds of different cuts of the meats for $61.99.

They do accept them but you can't use any other coupon or discount. Apparently the cards from Costco have a specific code that lets them know.

My…read moresister found it when we were desperate to find a location for a Celebration of Life service for my son. Hidden Oaks was perfect! We had a short time frame, a tight budgets (his death was a surprise, which makes for a surprise budget as well), and a whole lot of unknowns -- like how many guests there would be. That's rough event planning. Sheryl and our coordinator Lyndsay were incredibly flexible, kind, and understanding. I will always be grateful to them for this. We paid for the additional assistance of two staffers -- Helping Hands, for $20 per hour. Well-worth it, and they were lovely. Highly recommend. Lyndsay was an absolute SAINT putting up with all our question marks on this day. She was calm, professional, and had everything under control. Since I was crying half the time, I was very thankful for her presence. Our guests were blown away with how beautiful the venue was. Most guests were local and they were as surprised as we were! So here's what you need to know about this venue: --it is gorgeous, shady, clean and just lovely. Perfect for a smallish event of about 100-200, IMO. --it is disabled accessible, although it is a historical property. --you cannot hear the freeway at all once you are inside the venue --pricing is VERY reasonable and you won't have a catering minimum. --it has Padua Hills vibes, but the catering minimum there is $10K and you have to use their caterer -- no thank you. --big money saver: they have tables, chairs, umbrellas, and they set up of all that. You only need to rent linens. --There is a kitchen, but it is not really for cooking. More for staging and refilling. It has a commercial fridge and a freezer, so we kept ice and extra cheese and desserts to refill. The caterers used it, but we didn't cook there. --it has both indoor and outdoor spaces, which makes it great for rain plans. --there is no alcohol, no smoking of any kind, and music needs to be the Disney version. It is owned by a Christian church, so values need to align there. They mean these things. Respect this. For us, this was no problem, since we needed a sober venue for the respect of some of our guests. We simply printed a disclaimer on our invitations. --you probably need extra signage at the entrance because it is easy to miss. You need to allow time for people to get in if you have a lot of guests. --Cheryl was organized -- we had a pre-meeting where she gave us a tour and a folder of all the details (table sizes, rules, helpful vendor contacts, etc) In our case, we welcomed guests on the north side of the building, had an espresso bar on the west patio, then directed guests to the back yard where the gazebo is. We held the "ceremony" part of the event by the gazebo, but we didn't really decorate at all (we didn't want it to feel like a wedding). Then we invited guests into the house and to the north side of the property, where one would normally have a reception for snacks and socializing. There are lots of little rooms and places where groups of guests can socialize within the house. For us, that worked because groups of my son's friends could reminisce together in their own social groups. We had no real need for flowers, because the facility was beautiful by itself. I hope this venue helps!

She was always so helpful, answered all my questions, gave me advice when I needed it, and made the whole planning process so much easier. Everything came out so beautifully, and the event space was absolutely perfect! Seeing everything come together was such an amazing feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special milestone for our family. You can really tell Cassandra cares about her clients and making sure everything turns out just right. I'm beyond thankful for her kindness, patience, and all her help throughout the process. Thank you, Cassandra and Creative Hall, for helping make our Sweet 16 such a beautiful and unforgettable night! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect event space!

The space itself is a great size and has a lot of potential, but I was disappointed with how my…read moreevent was handled. There was an event before mine, and I felt like I had to constantly follow up with calls and emails just to get basic details confirmed. My event was scheduled to start at 6 PM, and even though I was told they might need an extra 15-20 minutes for setup, they were still setting up an hour and a half into my event time. Some tables didn't even have tablecloths on them when I arrived. I had offered to come early to help set up but was told it wasn't necessary. On top of that, a few small maintenance issues, like a paper towel rack falling off the wall, added to the frustration. Also, be aware that if you book a 6-hour slot, you may only get 5 hours of actual event time because they take about an hour to set up which isn't clearly explained upfront. My son still had a great time, and for that I'm thankful but overall, I left feeling a bit frustrated. I hope they take this feedback seriously and improve the experience for future guests.

This review is long overdue! Held my baby shower here in October. I was stuck in the newborn bubble…read moresince I delivered one week after the shower. Katelyn is just an angel to work with. She is everything and more you expect from a hostess. She is attentive, kind and helpful. She has multiple furniture pieces you can switch out based on your vibe. Lux studio is such a hidden gem. Truly a stunning indoor architecture and it was honestly perfect size and budget for our event. She is also well connected with other vendors and made renting tables and chairs a breeze. Overall super pleased and I recommend this location to other friends all the time. Katelyn made it feel like I was hosting at a family member's house she did not hesitate to help set up which I am so so grateful for.

Overall: my family and I LOVED this venue, when we almost lost hope for finding a affordable,…read morepretty venue, I was able to find Lux Studios (this sounds like an ad but I swear it's not ) Cons: *outside wasn't as aesthetic as the actual venue so we were skeptical at first *owner does not reply very well (I ran into this when I was trying to contact her after our first meeting and walkthrough of venue, trying to clarify booking details as well as get our deposit in asap) *setup and cleanup time is included in the time you pay for (we knew this information when booking and paying for our allotted time it just sucks that it was even a thing) *parking situation is a little weird but very manageable Pros: *owner was very friendly, and helpful *owner didn't try to swindle us or upcharge for anything (especially compared to most venues around) *inside of building was beautiful, aesthetic and sleek *most furniture could be moved or used for free in our event *bathroom was cleanly, pretty and stink-free! *floor was easy to clean due to it being concrete *owner helped us put up a few things when checking up on us when we first got there *big windows we could choose to have curtains open or not with *door in the front and door in the back *was allowed to put up basically anything and everything as long as there was no major damage *was allowed to put easy up on side of venue for extra seating *lighting was bright (kinda wish it was adjustable, and if it was was- I wish we knew lol) *and that's all I can think of now! Thankyou so much for having us, we had a blast and enjoyed every second of hosting there P.S. sorry for the lack of venue pics! The day was very chaotic and I didn't think of taking pictures till we were cleaning up

We had an amazing and unforgettable wedding at the Christmas House on June 7, 2025. I have dreamed…read moreabout getting married here for over 10 years after my favorite high school English teacher told me she got married here. Dreams really do come true, and I had the vintage wedding of my dreams! Carrie, Sam, Jillian, and everyone at Christmas House are now like family to us. All of our guests absolutely loved our wedding and the house, and said what a unique and cool venue it is. A lot of them said it was the best wedding they have ever been to and are still talking about it a year later. I wanted something completely different and personal compared to a country club, golf club, or hotel since I have been to so many weddings. Since we were planning from out of state, we also liked that so many things were included such as cake, DJ, etc. I loved that we had the whole place to ourselves for the whole wedding weekend and got to do the pizza party and overnight stay, as well as breakfast which was some of my favorite food of the weekend! I particularly recommend the quiche! We had some of our bridal party stay with us and they loved it. It was nice to spend some personal time with them before we jetted off to our honeymoon. Also military wives and brides: they have a military discount! I also loved that the Christmas House team worked well with our wedding planner Nicole at Olivar events. Our photos and videos also came out so wonderfully. Orlando the photographer and videographer (sorry forgot his name) made me feel like a queen and really helped with their calm vibes since I was anxious before the ceremony. I even asked for more footage now a year later and they obliged. They are awesome! I had a lot of stress leading up to the wedding including my original dress being ruined one month before and family drama. The whole team were literal angels in helping me navigate all of this and I'm actually really glad I wore my second dress because it was a warm June wedding and my second dress was much lighter and went better with our vintage theme! I believe everything works out for a reason in according to God's plan. I have never felt so happy and so loved as on my wedding day by my husband, family and friends, and our friends at the Christmas House. I would truly give the Christmas House 4.8 stars and only change two things about the wedding: I will say the food was delicious, and our cake that was included from Cucamonga Cakery was pretty and delicious. However, the only negative feedback we had from guests was that the plates of food were a little small. This may be a Spaggi's (their exclusive caterer for our sit down package) issue, and I would recommend it be closer to the tasting size. For myself, I would have slowed down getting ready and taken some more amazing photos around the bridal suite, the house's stained glass windows, and stairs, and I may still go back and do it as Carrie suggested! However, I am giving myself some grace as the wedding morning was very busy. Thank you, Christmas House for making me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt, and for celebrating our love with us on our very special day. It was a dream come true, and we will be back to visit soon! Love, Ty and Dorothy

We had the most wonderful time at the Christmas open house! From the popcorn and hot cocoa bar to…read morethe beautifully displayed cookies, every detail felt thoughtful and festive. The kids loved the coloring station, kissing booth, and of course meeting Santa, while the carolers singing Christmas music made the entire estate feel magical. The property itself is absolutely beautiful and provided the perfect backdrop for the holiday spirit. This event truly made Christmas feel special--such incredible attention to detail throughout!
