Food Point Brazilian steakhouse — Restaurant in Lewiston

Calling it a Brazilian Steakhouse is like calling a pizzeria an Italian restaurant. More appropriately, it is a Brazilian Buffet. Arriving for mid-week lunch, we found the hostess to be pkeasant and helpful in explaining the different steam trays. They consisted of luke warm food consisting of a meat (which they cooked to order), chicken wings, sausage tuna fish pasta, breaded and fried fish fillet, and a chicken dish. Sides were beans, rice, plaintain (fried banana). There was an unappealing salad "bar". Fill up a plate and have it weighed at the counter, then sit and eat. Refilled plates follow the same weigh/pay process. The hostess took our drink order. Very, very long wait for drinks each of the 3 times we ordered a glass, especially with us being the only couple there. No bottles of wine. We weren't expecting fine dining, but we were hoping for something more "traditional". I wish them luck, but...

Very unwelcoming. Walked in expecting to have a good dining experience based on the reviews. There was no hostess so we walked in and made our way to the bar. There was a women behind the bar who asked “do you speak Portuguese” to which I responded no only Spanish. She seemed to be offended and just walked away.

We sat at the bar for about 10 minutes multiple people walked by us.. no water, no greeting, no menu, no nothing.

Once we finally got up to leave we were asked why we were leaving… as if they even cared to begin with. All I said was “we’re going somewhere else…”

Do not go if you do not speak Portuguese...

The buffet style is definitely unique. I thought the food was pretty flavorful for what I tried and I especially enjoyed the fried plantains. The waitress was attentive and explained what most of the food was. However, the food wasn’t hot… most of it was lukewarm at best which really is my only critique but it left me leaving there hungry because I had trouble eating borderline cold steak and chicken. You can tell they’re still a new establishment. However, I plan to go back again in a few months and will hopefully be able to edit my review. Maybe this was just an off...
