a year agoFood was pretty decent. But waited and waited and waited. When we mentioned to the manager, he was rude. Eventually the food came…. 2 main courses for 2 of us and the one who ordered the Rodizio was left with an empty plate while waiter after waiter passed without offering any food. By the time they gave any food, the other 2 had finished their meals. No apologies. No gesture of goodwill. Would not recommend.
