    All four of us LOVED every part of our meal. One ordered Prime Rib, and the other three ordered the filet mignon, which was perfectly cooked and really excellent. The mashed potatoes were incredible, too, and the veggies were cooked to perfection. We all had Caesar salads, too, and they were also excellent. We'll be back!

    We had an overall great experience. The only downside is that, after two hours of dining, the waiters avoided to stop by our table for an entire hour so we decided to leave. All of them did the same, so we felt it was on purpose. That said, the first two hours we had a great time and the waiters were friendly, including our server who was very attentive. Moreover, the Brazilian dance show was enjoyable and long enough.
