The salad bar section was honestly the best I’ve ever seen. It had high quality options that were like the foods I grew up with. The atmosphere and wait staff were beyond amazing! Never an empty glass and we never had to ask. They were very attentive. They also have a hot bar section and the Mac and cheese was like gourmet style as well as the mashed potatoes and gravy…my favorites. Then the separate crew comes around with like 12 kinds of meat..one by one. The lamb was Devine and the grilled pineapple was so good we all had seconds on that. It had a slight cinnamon outer layer that reminded me of childhood. My only complaint was that I felt like all the other meats were not as flavorful as I would have thought and no meat is “made to order” so as a rare lover…I found everything too well done. They really should have a rare option as well as well done because in my opinion well done does not have adequate flavor. But I was full anyway from everything else. Clean bathrooms. Linen table cloths. Linen napkins. Very elegant. Dress is higher side of business casual. Not a jeans and Tshirt restaurant style. Yes, we will be back.Four people with tip was 315.oo dollars but worth it . We don’t drink nor asked for dessert but they were so generous in bringing my Grandson a complimentary birthday mini cake that was amazing delicious! Very nice place .

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

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 While the establishment is aesthetically pleasing, it appears somewhat outdated to me.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.

Not only was the food on par for being fantastic (do NOT skip the pineapple!!!) but the service made us feel so special for our anniversary. The drinks also paired perfectly with the meals. Thank you so much for an amazing anniversary!
