Food was good for the first hour but then you eat yourself into a steak hang over! Wayyyy too over priced for something that will put you out of commission for a week.
Great Steakhouse for parties of 4 or 5 +

Really filling and high quality meats. Flip the red to green and the waiters will come over and cut fantastic meat over your plate. Good for parties but also pricey. They also have a great seafood buffet and salad buffet as well. Drinks are expensive but I think you can get a group deal for a cheaper then eating with one person. Which brings me to the next point it is not the type of place you bring a date. But I recommend it for sure.
- Pros: Fun, energetic, good eats
- Cons: expensive and filling

I've been in their kitchen, it's IMMACULATELY clean. It's one of the only places in NY whose kitchen I have been in and wouldn't hesitate for a second to eat there. The food is some of the best I have eaten, the atmosphere in the dining area is amazing. Take a few moments looking up from your plate at the cieling. The service and settings... All top notch.
- Pros: Everything
- Cons: None

I came hungry and prepared to eat when I visited this restaurant. I enjoyed the food everything was great. The meats was delicious, the salad bar offered more than just salad it had past, sushi, and other stuff as well. This is a great over all experience worth the expense.

This is an amazing restaurant! There are so many meats to try and everything is cooked to perfection. The salad bar has not only great salads, but also pasta and sushi. Definitely give a visit to this restaurant!
Unbelievable!!!

I was told not to eat anything all day before I come here. I'm glad I followed the instructions. I didn't go crazy with the meat because there was so many other delicious dishes to try. Everything was fresh and yummy. There is a plenty of seafood and they bring to your table rice, beans, polenta, fried bananas, homemade steak sauce, cheese bread 9t o die for), and mashed potatoes. Not to mention there are people coming over to your table with racks of prime rib, short ribs, chicken, sausage, and several different cuts of steak. Yeah, and then there is a dessert cart which will add that extra sweet taste you will need.

Come hungry! The meat doesn't end until you're ready. The salad bar is amazing but to fill up on that is a rookie mistake. Basically, fast all day before coming. Lot's of rare and interesting choices as well as seasonal specials.
Snooty Service for a wannabe Foga De Chao

You get what you pay for. The food is good and the price is high.
Unfortunately, you also get snooty service. What baffles me is how an entirely unoriginal concept could be so snooty about its service. When you go to Daniel, Per Se, etc - they are warm and welcoming and you have a great experience.
I didn't see any Michelin stars on the wall, nor people queuing like at the Little Owl, but yet several of their employees, including "Ricardo" treated us as if we were lucky to be there.
The real luck is that I can stop by a better version of a Brazillian steakhouse in Dallas or Atlanta, where people have better manners.
- Cons: Group Dining Nightmare!
Great food, service could be better

We ate there on Mother's Day and I accounted for that fact in my review. Party of 6 adults. We were seated reasonably quickly with a full house. Head waiter greeted us but was rarely seen during the dinner. No wine list offered. We had little attention from the drink waiter (surprising as this is a big money-maker for them) and had to repeatedly ask for wine and beer replenishments. The headwaiter assisted with some drink orders near the end of dinner after I flagged him down. He was friendly and polished.
Desert was a bit hodge-podge. The cart was rolled in and we made selections and were served. Coffee was not even offered as there was no drink waiter. We had to flag one down.
Port wine was offered and I think it was comp'ed or part of the desert service.
Had a good time - the buffet, sides and the meat courses were all very fresh and flavorful. The meat waiters were attentive.
- Pros: Food - perfectly cooked meats and fresh buffet
- Cons: Service was a bit off but OK

We have eaten at this establishment many times and always been very pleased. The buffet that they offer, which includes sushi and rissotto, salads amongst many other options is top notch. But the Skewers of beef that come around are truly the most delicious meats we have ever tasted.
I highly recommend this restaurant.
