There's a bit of backstory to this trip (my first as well).
For months I've been meaning to try what some friends of mine described as "the outlet mall priced version of a Brazilian steakhouse"; i.e. it didn't require an additional mortgage to enjoy.
I'm a devoted carnivore, my child is a full-blooded carnivore, and my wife wanted to have a quiet night at home after being on the road all week, so she strongly suggested we go have a guy's meal before he heads south this coming week.
Buuuuuut ... in looking up the intended destination, the reviews of the place post-Covid are just horrible. Food quantity AND quality both in severe decline apparently. So in looking for a possible replacement, we first found a place that had similar recent reviews, and then found the one you saw me rave about here. We chanced it based on the fact that the only complaints in recent months were about a price increase (pre-Covid was $25/person, re-opening price was $40/person) but nothing negative about the food or service.
We pull up and there's not a car in sight, we're thinking oh shit, this is gonna be bad cause they aren't going to be cooking much with no customers. But, boy were we wrong.
I think we got 9 different cuts (of a possible 12-14 on their published menu), each served at our stated doneness (they asked, and hit it spot on). Might have gotten more but we hit the surrender point before then.
Over the evening, a few other customers did show up & eat, with an unexpected quirk: they were all speaking what sure sounded like Portugese. If that ain't a sign you're in the right Brazilian steakhouse then by golly I don't know what would be.
