I visited this restaurant to celebrate my aunt’s birthday with family. While the establishment is aesthetically pleasing, it appears somewhat outdated to me. The staff is amiable, and the cuisine is exceptional. The steak, chicken, sausage, and pork were all delectable and cooked to perfection. I particularly enjoyed our table’s vantage point, which provided an unobstructed view of the kitchen. The menu offered a diverse selection of meats, including sirloin, fillet mignon, churrasco, bacon-wrapped chicken, lamb chops, and various sides such as macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, salads, and smoked salmon. The beverages were satisfactory, although I believe they cater more to the older demographic. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the dinner experience, and the staff was exceptional.

A hidden gem! Never knew about it. We love Brazilian Steakhouses and had never knew about this one so off we went! Reservations are recommended but not required but due to the limited amount of tables, do so on the really busy days (F-S-SUN). We went on a Tues night and had made reservations for when they opened at 5pm. The atmosphere is awesome, lighting low, nice decor, really cozy. The staff were very attentive and fun, always quick to serve when something was needed. Now to the food.. This was a little different from other Brazilian Steakhouses we have visited when it came to the sides. They were buffet style. The salad bar had a large amount of fresh options on it. See photos for an example. Now to the meats. Absolutely amazing they were. I tried most of them and I wanted more everytime. Very tender and nicely seasoned. Pineapple was also on the skewer and was amazing the point I had thirds lol. We didnt have enough room for dessert so I cannot say anything about that option, but Im sure they are killer. Made to order drinks and beers are available from the bar. Senior citizens get a discount. The price of 59.95 was very good for the experience we had. I cannot say anything bad at all. We shall be back for sure and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Great food selection, and it is buffet style. Men come around tables with before, lamb, pork etc and slice it off for you. Service was a bit wanting as we had to ask 3 times for coffee & finally, 15 minutes later, finally got a cup. Waitress was nice & they were somewhat busy but still way too long to wait for a cup. $52 a person is a bit much so, it will be a looooong time before we go back.

My husband and I recently went to celebrate our Anniversary...he researched a new place to go and boy did he pick the right one! The staff was awesome, attentive and friendly! The exterior and interior decor was perfect and romantic for the setting and a fruit tart and a bottle of Malbec to top our evening off by our server and then our professional and attentive Manager's visit to our table checking on our meal and wishing us a Happy 46th Anniversary...we had the most wonderful time!! We are both meat lovers and this was the place! We sure had our fill! Each and every cut of meat was cooked perfectly and delicious!! The salad bar had just about everything you would like on it to please your palate! We are greatly in need of an Ipanema Brazilian Steak House in or on the outskirts of The Villages!!! LOVED this restaurant...it would surely be a hit! A new favorite for us! Laurie & Tom
