We were interested in his restaurant and could not wait for it to open.....finally we went for a late lunch. Welcoming staff, loveley decor, good cocktails - however, at the lunch buffet, meat - although well seasoned and flavoursome - had been sat there for a while and was tough. Salad selection nice, not sure about the system for weighing your plate, but it's quite a gimmick. I feel I would prefer this venue for a evening meal, and I would like the option to select from a menu. I will review again once I have attended an evening meal! chubbyhunny, 17/04/08 I've been to one Brazilian BBQ and wasn't sure whether it was a 'typical' one, but after having been here, it looks like it was. Basically, what happens is that you help yourself to all sorts of side dishes like salads, rice and beans, then sit down. The waiters walk around with all the meat and carve at your table. And yes, it is definitely ALL you can eat. The meat seemed endless and we stopped eating way before the waiters got the hint that we didn't want/need anymore. I think having a little card with 'Yes' and 'No' written on opposite sides might be a good solution. That would save waiters having to ask customers all the time and the customers from being interrupted in conversation. (Though I believe they do have a green card/red card system for just this purpose, I didn't see it.) Staff were friendly and welcoming. The interior looks great. And yes, the food was really good. The only 'but' I have is from a female/small eater perspective. For £17 a head it's not exactly a bargain if you don't eat like a large male rugby player. Offering a small taster menu at £8 or so for those who just couldn't possibly eat all that food might be an idea. Should also mention that the staff said that they'd be able to cater for vegetarians given some advance notice. Having said that, there's plenty of veggie food on the buffet, but, again, a reduction in price might be an option. In short, it's a great place for a big gatherings with great atmosphere and food and will probably become one of the hot spots for all the Christmas parties later in the year. AHP, 16/04/08 This place is really different - the way of serving the food is really interesting and it's eat as much as you like. The cocktails are really good too. It's a nice place to go with family and friends, the staff are friendly and I had a really great night out. mary, 13/04/08
