First of all, the meats tastes really well. But I don’t see the restaurant is really that high end (e.g. service, ambience) compared to other steakhouses but here charges you the most. You will even pay more than usual rodízios. Nobody told me about parking but was charged 25 reais on my final bill. (And even this was subjected to 13% gratuity) It took long to get the main dish even there was not a lot of people. And the most disappointing thing is about the confusion the restaurant made.

Bathroom smell terrible, flies around the kitchen and a damp ambiance. Avoid...

Location is excellent too, right in the heart of Faria Lima. I am definitely going...
