Omg! I truly enjoyed this place. Our waitress was fabulous. The selection of meats were beyond delicious 😋 and the buffet style dinner court was awesome. I loved the restaurant decor as well. The desserts were amazing 👏

Food was exceptional, everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. We put in a reservation and did have to wait about 15 minutes to be seated still, also our server was very short with us. Beyond that the environment was wonderful.

I don’t normally leave reviews, but I felt compelled to after the kindness I experienced last night from the Ipanema crew.
My company has been hosting our annual Christmas party at Ipanema for over a decade, with more than 50 guests each year. The atmosphere and food are always wonderful. Last night, however, their kindness truly stood out.
My daughter’s car got stuck on a mound near the back entrance, not even on Ipanema’s property, but close by. I had no one to call for help, and the owner of my company suggested I ask if anyone from Ipanema might be able to assist. I approached a sweet older gentleman working in the dining area during dinner and explained the situation. Without hesitation, he walked me through the kitchen to two younger gentlemen, explained what had happened, and they immediately offered to help.
I walked them out to the car, apologizing and thanking them repeatedly for their generosity. They were so humble and reassuring, insisting it was no trouble at all. Between my employer’s son and these three amazing gentlemen, the car was unstuck and back on the road in no time.
I share this because they had absolutely no obligation to help — yet they did, with genuine kindness and humble smiles. It speaks volumes about the kind of people that make up the Ipanema team. Not only did our large group receive outstanding service during our dinner, but this moment revealed the true heart of the staff behind it all.

The most beautiful light fixtures! Lots of food and variety for the money. The best grilled pineapple I've ever had! The salad bar was nice and clean. The people were kind and the food never stopped. The turtle cheesecake was worth it. My best friend had her birthday there and it was perfect. What a special treat!
