NICE BUT PRICEY PLACE.
My friend from work referred me to this restaurant. Place was nice, food was excellent, location is in Downtown DC.
On minus side this restaurant was packed with people and very noisy.
Dinner price + juices + tea + tip for two of us came up to $140.
Price for buffet was $48.50. It is a little pricey since one can not try all 16 types of meats anyway. After trying couple of meats and side dishES, I was really full within 25 minutes.
Anyway, price was too steep, but food was good. Drinks are charged separate and you can break the bank if you order wines (thanks God, I did not).
Really you paying for their service as for $50 one can buy all kinds of excellent meat from the store and cook it and keep $90 and spend it for something else.
Selection of deserts was very weak, nothing brazilian, just regular creme brule, mousse, etc.
THIS PLACE IS FOR SOMEBODY WITH LOTS OF MONEY WHO HAS NOT EATEN FOR DAYS!!!!
Otherwise, you can not get the value of the price you pay as it is impossible to taste everything that this place offers.
