Zebu Grill

"Upper Eastsiders in search of 'something a little different' hit this 'relaxed' Brazilian specializing in 'interesting', 'flavorful' churrasco; 'congenial' service and 'a couple of their caipirinhas' confirm that this somewhat 'hidden away' spot is 'worth repeat visits.'" - ZAGAT 2011

"The room was lit by candles, but not dark as many such places are. The food was incredible, and brought to the table in a timely manner. The bruchetta and bread were delicious. My boyfriend got the chicken pastel and I had the salada Zebu for our appetizers, both of which were out of this world. He had the Pichana, which was the perfect size, and the rice and black beans were incredible. I had the Massa, which was an amazing pasta dish with spicy but savory sausage. Our caipirinhas were also delicious- sweet and sour. All in all, completely out of this world."

"Great food and service. Tables a bit close together and crowded. Not intimate but food makes up for the lack of ambiance. Would give it a try"

"We had a great meal - an overview of brazilian food that pleased everyone in the group. Black Bean soup, coconut mousse, passionfruit brulee, country beef were all delicious."

"The food is ok but very small portion and way overpriced. Just don't buy the groupon deals because they have a cheaper 3 course prix fixe on their regular menu which serves the same dishes as groupon which has even smaller portion and cheaper ingredients than their regular dishes."

"We went to this restaurant because Zagat recommended the churrasco. It was totally disappointed. It was for 2 people but the amount was really small (surprising in the USA) the steak was not tender at all (strange also in the USA where the meat is so good in general). We ordered it medium and it came to the table very well done. We don't recomend this restaurant if your are expecting to eat good meat. The chicken was flavorful but that's it. And it is not cheap. The best part was the flan for dessert."
