On Friday night Derek and I went to this new Brazilian Steakhouse on the plaza to check it out and thought it was a good concept. Basically, it's a set price and you have a card with a green side and a red side. You begin by helping yourself to the cheese and salad bar. Next comes out the endless appetizers. Whenever you're ready, you can flip your card to the green side giving the waiters the 'go' to start bringing samplings from the 12 or so different meats they serve. When you'd like them to slow down, you flip the card to the red side and they'll back off.
The food was OK and the drinks were great, but we both agreed that for the same price, a meal and drinks at Capital Grille (our fav!) would have been better. Yes, you get endless food for that price, but as far as quality, it was just average. We loved a few of the meats, but all appetizer and salad bar items were nothing extraordinary. Also - DEFINITELY not a place you'd want to go on a first date. With the constant interruption in order to serve the meats, conversation was very hard. I almost felt anxious with all of the waiters running by nonstop.
We'd give this new restaurant a B rating as it's a cool concept and they have some great drinks!
