    This was my third time at BDM Tampa, and my first time on a weekday. My 2-star review is based on the facts that the service was slow, eventhough there were only a few tables active. The food did not come as ordered, the steaks lacked seasoning and were over cooked and dry, the side dishes were warm almost tepid, not hot. There was hardly any music in the background and the tv had a soccer game on without sound. The entire evening was a dissapointment. However, on my prior two visits, the food was fresh, the ambiance was lively and joyful, the service prompt and a completely different experience 4-stars then. My recommendation would be to only visit this place on the weekends as the weekday service struggles to meet their mark at least this time, such was the case.

    $ 120 for one can of soda, 1 beer and 8 empanadas. I was charged extra for 2 guys singing and playing the guitar. Food was good, but the value for the money was crazy.

    Not a fan of the "homestyle-family" approach to their menu. Dishes are huge, served family style and way too much for a couple to begin to eat!!! Secondly most of the dishes were obviously prepared in bulk, staged and served when ordered as most of our food was served just above room temp with the exception of the meat. The menu is overwhelming and would take 15-20 minutes to go through--fortunately our server (Bruno) was terrific, knowledgeable of menu, helpful in his recommendations and attentive throughout the meal. The meal itself was disappointing--black beans were watery and lacked taste, the yucca dish was very bland and unattractive, while the filet was tough and chewy and undercooked (close to raw)--sent it back to continue cooking to medium rare/medium! the fries and the salsa were quite good. The restaurant itself is quite large but rather simplistic with a few booths, and mostly large tables seating 6 to 12. Nothing attractive about it! In summary, we tried it but probably won't return. Next time we are in the mood for Brazilian cuisine, we'll go to Texas do Brazil!

    Three grown men. We tried the empanadas short rib and beef, both were excellent. The pepper jelly is great with a touch of heat. The fried cheese is delicious and spongie. Similar to Greek cheese. Yucca fries were good, but the star was the shoestring fries, those crispy little guys were a hit. Be careful with the bottle of peppers they put on the table, it’ll bite you! Our server Julia was clean, friendly, and professional. It was a quiet Thursday evening and it was just starting to get busy. Our entree was the filet augratin with Brazilian cheese sauce. We got the for “4” option, wrong move! The platter took two people to bring to the table. Hint: save the fries for the sauce. You’re welcome. Steak was cooked right and sliced the covered in sauce, bacon, and melted cheese….took half home. The menu is wide and varied. This is an awesome place for parties of 3 or more. The desserts….lets just say you’ll become a fan of coconut and Nutella. I will go again with friends to experiment some more. I can’t believe I’m praising shoestring French fries!
