• Brazilian Steakhouse • Madison
Booked 19 times today
For those of you who are not current or former gauchos who roam the prairies of Brazil, you might need an explanation of our style of service. At the end on a long day of work tending to cattle and stock, Brazilian cowboys (Gauchos) and their families would prepare great feasts. They would skewer various meats, roast them over a fire pit and bring them to the table for carving. There would be a bounty of seasonal vegetables, stews and salads using fresh ingredients from the fruits of their labor.

    The halibut was delicious! I was hoping to bring home leftovers but actually ate the entire meal myself. Our server was also very gracious without being overbearing. We were entertaining someone from out-of-town, and this was the perfect evening.

    Lucille is a solid, trusty, and delicious choice for Madison dining. I love taking my group of students here at the end of each academic year. The menu has great things to offer, and the drinks are always delightful. Morgan took great care of us--her pizza recommendations were amazing! Looking forward to coming back soon!
