Yoooo, I was debating on leaving a review, but after talking to some coworkers and getting their reaction, I felt slightly robbed. The wife and I went here Saturday after not making it to the hard rock lobster buffet, so we settled for pampas ayce because we've been to plenty of brazilian places to have dinner. I being a big back and have been wanting to try this place out.
The place is beautiful inside, and parking at the parking garage across the street was convenient. When we first got in, we told them we had reservations, and the host had the most awkward reaction at looking where to sit us. We got seated and then waited for a server. A goofy looking guy comes over and pretty much looks out of place, but his honesty through the night made me look past the dingy appearance. We went to the salad bar, and that's where the disappointment started. I expected the soup to be a lobster bisque, but it was a chicken marsala of sorts. The salad bar looked like they rarely got replenished. The deviled eggs most places have were just plane hard boiled eggs garnished with some chive. The cucumber salad was about 3 slices of cucumber and a couple of red onion slices, they never refilled that. I went back plenty of times to see if they refilled anything and nope.
The meats were slow coming out at first but then when they finally started it seemed that with was the same 6 cuts. Of course we passed on the pork sausage and the chicken legs cause honesty we came for the beef and lamb. We asked about the lamb and cheese to see if it was being offered but after being there for an hour we still had to keep asking if it was going to come out. The lamb leg finally came out and it looked so undercooked. One bite and we didn't want anymore. The cheese I waited on for a hour was so burnt underneath that it felt like I had fallen on the beach and had my mouth open. So burnt up all the honey in that pot couldn't save it. A man I assumed was the manager would ask how everything was every 30 mins which was nice but the food there was definitely not worth it. At some point I asked the young man that was serving the meat to drop off a whole piece of meat on the place that when he did and it landed like a piece charcoal on my plate he asked me if I would like another one. The quality of the food here is not worth the price. I understand that it's a family owned buisness and we all struggle but I left there disappointed and less $250 in my pocket.
Alright $250 was for 2 dinners and 2 of there mixed drinks. They got me when the tipping options started off at 25%. I have buyers...

Read moreAt first I was very excited to go I heard so many great things, unfortunately my experience was horrible and uncomfortable. We made reservations for 5. We got there early so sat at the bar, when its was our time no one came and got us to seat us. They proceeded to sit us way in the back at a small table. We ask for a bigger table, the manager Phill said it was reserved, mind you we made reservations also and at the time no one else was In the restaurant. His demeanor was very unprofessional and unsettling. Our waitress was amazing and didn’t understand also why we couldn’t be seated at preferred table when clearly it was available. There were a lot of knats we couldn’t even enjoy our meal which we paid a lot for but never received the options of the higher grade meats. Regrettably, my experience not only fell short of my expectations but also raised serious concerns regarding the treatment I received as a Black American. Upon arrival, my party and I were greeted with indifference, and it took an unusually long time for us to receive any attention from the staff. When we were finally seated, our server appeared disengaged and dismissive, which set a negative tone for our dining experience. Despite the restaurant not being particularly busy, we felt overlooked and unvalued as customers. What was particularly troubling was the manner in which we were treated in comparison to other patrons in the restaurant. I couldn’t help but notice how members of other racial groups were treated with far more attentiveness and warmth. This discrepancy in service left me feeling uncomfortable and disrespected. I believe that all customers deserve equal treatment, regardless of their race, and my experience at this establishment felt very much like a violation of...
