   Amazing experience at this location and our waitress Meryam was such a sweetheart who was working very hard to keep our table satisfied. It was nice to see the location’s manager on the floor hustling around as well. I would definitely come back here over again and again.

   The service was impeccable. They were so attentive. The salad bar and food was incredible. They have quite the selection. The meat was not as fantastic as usual though. I hope they are not slipping.

   Service went above and beyond, as everyone was very attentive throughout our experience. Servers made great suggestions for beverages and wine, one server even brought over a sample of a drink she thought we would like. Food was wonderful and the overall experience was very unique. We will be back.

   I am used to a better experience in other locations. It was incredibly disappointing this time.

   The staff strongly encouraged the “experience” which was a lot of meat. We didn’t want that so ordered entrees. Much of the food had a heavy garlic flavor. The salad bar looked more appealing than it was. The wine was nice.

   My husband had never been to a Brazilian steakhouse and so we made reservations for dinner at the University St location. I read the positive reviews and we were looking forward to the meal. The best part of the entire experience was the politeness of the waitstaff. The ambience was nice, but not 5 star due to the floor vent that shot up in our faces cool air. We eventually remedied that discomfort by placing the pillow that accompanied one of our seats over the vent. Our server was polite, but was very soft spoken. We were able to figure out the menu ourselves and opted for the $70+ “experience”, which included over a dozen rotating meat selections that would come to the table, a few sides for the table and the salad bar. We started at the salad bar. The area was dark, but just part of the ambience. Nothing was labeled and since it was more upscale that a simple vegetable salad bar, we were unsure what most things were. We each asked someone to identify things that were not identified. This salad bar by itself would cost about $35, so labels don’t seem to be unreasonable. We made our selections and headed back to our seats. Salad bar foods were pretty good, although we did not take full advantage of the offerings due to the lack of labeling. The meat rotation was disappointing. For starters, we sat for over an hour and the same 5 selections were all that were offered. Servers come around with meat on large skewers and shave off a small sample or a small nugget of meat. Honestly, for the price, we would have been ok with just 5 selections IF the quality of the meat was better. All the meat that was offered during our sitting was over seasoned and not exactly tender. The manager stopped by the table to chat and my husband mentioned the lack of labels at the salad bar, which he left to go fix. Another trip to the salad bar confirmed that only half was labeled. More apologies from management. Don’t waste your money and choose a quality restaurant in Seattle!

    Great location, if you’re not familiar with downtown Seattle it can be tricky finding the parking garage. Service was great, Zach was personable and helpful, the food was excellent.
