Won't Go Back. Very disappointed. We wanted to celebrate my son's 19th birthday and we each got the buffet. They brought around different meats all TOO dry. The roast tasted like it had been boiled the ribs had absolutely no meat on them they were all fatty. The chicken tasted like sand. When we complained we got a big attitude from the manager. The table next to us also complained that the food was not very good. We were given a 20% discount. We gave the extra 20% to the waitress who did her best to make us happy. When we were at the door, about to leave, the manager , who was inappropriate, came over to us and shoved a piece of meat in our faces and said that the meat was not dry, and that we were prejudice and only trying to get a free meal. He told us to never come back.

Believe me, we will NEVER go back!

Poor customer relations.

Almost forgot we had to return the soda, they were watered down.

tourist trap. awful. tomatos were full of BUGS!!!!! the chicken w okra was cold, fries were overfried and darken. Beer was not cold. meat was dry and the meat cutter was only one to handle the whole restaurant. dont waste your bucks cuz this is NOT the brazilian experience , this is not the brazilian rodizio. this is a tourist trap. the waitress was a tiny cape verdian looking miserable. felt bad for her! she was probably an explored illegal immigrant getting 2 bux an hour. dont waste your time and money

not impressed at all - disgusted. Dec 18, Sunday cold afternoon. Decided to go for the Brazilian experience. What a disappointment! Rest was packed , most of the clientela was complaining. salad bar food was awful, only ONE meat cutter for the whole rest, meat was dry and very salty. I had to chase down the meat cutter over the greasy floor of the restaurant. it was dirty. our brazilian waitress was great, very beautiful and extremely friendly. I went to the restroom and I saw the cook YELLING at her over a computer issue that clearly the old man didnt know how to use it. later, I learned that this man, named John Pinto was the owner of the restaurant. Clearly, a man w no diplomacy , rude, lack of education and uninspiring. I felt bad for that waitress. the 18% gratuity was included in the check but I gave it more than that. The waitress made the difference. the restaurant and meat - not impressed at all! Not coming back!!!!!

Delicious beef rib and beef. Nice decoration, darkness made me felt really "Brazilian place) Wide range of meat, beef rib was the best, chicken bacon was a little bit dry but was so good to dip with chilli sauce(ask the waitress), Beef was also great.

the worst restaurant experience in cambridge. This was the worst restaurant experience in Cambridge we've had; the place is dark and gloomy,; the buffet food old (the iceberg lettuce was brown and yellow) the meat was chewy, chicken tasted bad.. service mediocre; valet was $10, they added 18%gratuity.. and charged for refills on soda. For the price we paid, we could have gone to a decent resaurant..save your money..
