This was one of our go-to churrasquerias in Newark which is why it saddened me that the quality of their food has gone down: the meats were overcooked and overseasoned and the caipirinha too sweet. I hope the owner looks into how the food and drinks are prepared.UPDATE: Management reached out and I got to speak to Fabio who explained that the restaurant had a change of staff, including the grill chef and he promised to do better. It’s always a good sign if an establishment reaches out to their customers.

Horrível. Atendimento do pior a comida estava estragada …

I went last week with my husband and 2 friends. We ordered the most expensive dish they have, which is the Rodizio Primium, which costs $51 per person. The service was so bad, we had to look for the waiters, then the Rodizio for us was most chicken, I asked for the well done cooked picaña and they never brought it to me, I asked for the skirt steak and they never brought it, they gave us a couple of times a fat that calling them "CEBO", I also ordered lamb and they brought it at the end, it was so salty that I couldn't eat it, I asked for a tea....they never brought it...4 people paid $303.84, for terrible attention, one poor quality meat...nothing was premium. The restaurant looks good, it's clean, they have many waiters, all attentive at the beginning, then you have to keep calling them. I don't recommend that place to anyone. Don't go, the service is bad, the meat they give you is bad. They give you fat, it is NOT worth spending your money in this place, there are many other nearby restaurants RODIZIOS there that will charge you the same but the attention is highly superior.....

The service was friendly but I can't say the service was super timely specifically with the Rodizio order.Additionally, the salmon was over cooked.The vibe was nice and building structure and interior was all brick - awesome. Same for the immediate surrounding neighborhood in Iron Bound, super lively.

Best Valentine's Day dinner ever! Our waiter Jorge and his entire team took outstanding care of us and catered to our dietary restrictions. We will definitely return! Could not shut up about it at work today!

Uniquely situated in beautiful downtown Newark. Excellent service experience with non stop service delivery. Meatloaf is good we’ll cooked. My go to place. Parking is just the little challenge but a few blocks away and you will be fine on the street parking.

Great spot. Went with our friend from Columbia. She explained the Brazilian BBQ. If your a meat eater, they just keep bring you more until you wave them off. A truly all you can eat experience. Everything we ate was delicious. Large portions, fair prices, great service.The live music on the bar side was a nice touch. ?I highly recommend.

The place was nice, the service was nice. Not worth the $198.00 I spent for two adults and a child. There was no buffet (must be because of covid), no seafood or different salads. Plain rice, beans, fried Cahaba, and a plate of salad. I'll wait till the buffet is back.

Food used to be amazing at this place. I've visited the restaurant several times. But not satisfied on my last three visits.Probably they changed their chef but the taste is not the same.Update: January 2022I drove 30 minutes to visit this place again since my last visit (2 years ago) I'm still a little disappointed that it has not improved, food and service wise.Like I said in my last review, this place used to be the spot on Newark. Not anymore of course.I was craving for the buffet but it is no longer being provided (due to covid-19 according the them) then if you seat in the dining area, you can't get a "special" meal what is called a Mon-Fri executive meal. You have to seat by the bar for that.Picanha was dry .Hopefully they bring the buffet back which was and still is a Brazilian cuisine thing :)

The best Rodizio for the money in New Jersey. Excellent service despite the fact that most of the staff does not speak English. I highly recommend. Gets extremely crowded after 7:30.
