"Worse service ever!!!
Even after making a reservation 5 hours before, when we arrive we where told that we had to wait. That the reservation will put us in front of the walk in. Well after waiting a half an hour and witness many parties walk in and being seated right away. I approached the manager and I was told in the most rude manner that I had to wait and there was nothing he could do. I basically gave him the beeper back, told him that he had just lost our business and walk away. My party was of 2 and I don't think that it was too hard to sit us earlier. It was my mother's day dinner and they ruined."

"There was construction in front of the restaurant which made it difficult to turn into the parking area. I just found out about the Boizao which means with a little advertising, your business could increase. The experience was wonderful."

"Will not go there again! Over-priced and not very good. The meat was all very salty---I normally salt my meat but this was already too salty for me. Too many items wrapped in bacon. The good stuff--filet (without bacon!) only came around once and of course, it was too salty. My husband wanted to go there because he is a big eater but he didn't like it either.
Service wasnt' good either, except for the busboy who seemed eager to please. The regular waiter couldn't have cared less."

"Excellent food with great customer service! Thank you to the great chef(s) and applaud their ability to serve such an extent of meats/flavors at various temperatures! Super! A sense of completion...once you were near the end ---the servers didn't come very often to near the table as often. This was minor---not very significant and will not prevent me from returning! The buffet was out of this world! The place was a crowd pleaser 100%%%%. Thank you."

"Good food, great service inside. Only downside is the crazy way they do the valet parking...more than 1/2 dozen cars backed up out on the busy street...we were concerned about the very real chance of getting rear-ended. There has to be a better way to handle the parking than that."

"As far as Brazilian style steakhouses go, this was very good. We were told that the recipes are all true owners' Brazilian Family recipes, and the flavors were wonderful. At one point, the flow of food slowed down, but after I spoke to our waiter, there was no problem. We ate way too much and enjoyed every minute of it."
