Hi my name is mike. I used to come here a lot a couple years back with party of six or more. Yesterday evening I want there again with a party of six which was Friday night 01/22/2016 and when we got there it was pretty empty from how I used to see it before especially on a Friday. I guess people are starting to realize that they were getting ripped off so Thy decided not to go there anymore. But I don't blame them at all. The main thing I noticed when we got the Bill how expensive it was ,and just to remind you the party of six are three kids and three adults and we started breaking down the bill to see what was going on, The first thing we noticed was The soda that used to be 2.50 . And the most we would pay at any other place is 2.50 for a glass of soda, and we can drink as many refills for free. But not here at the Brazilian Grill now the soda went up to 5.00 dollars a glass, and five dollars for every refill, that is crazy , which we didn't know that the refills wasn't free until we got the bill, so just in soda alone on our bill was 95.00 dollars. And the rotizio wasn't all that like before , before they used to bring you a very big selection of all types of meat.and that used to be 22.00 dollars a person . Now it's 30.00 a person ,Friday night if we got five or six different types of meat that was a lot, and let me tell you for a party of six with three little kids and three adults , the bill was $320 that's unbelievable, because they Put the gratitude automatically on your bill also , and they add it with the biggest percentage 15% . Which I think that is wrong, I think you should be the one to decide what the percentage should be 5 , 10 ,or 15% should be your choice not theirs. Me my wife and my mother-in-law was very disappointed with this place , my wife is going to make a big article about this place and how people are getting ripped off, as for us we would never go back to this restaurant again. I hope people are reading this before they go to this restaurant called the Brazilian Grill on Monroe Street in Newark,New Jersey 07105
