What an eclectic ambiance with modern American pop hits with tourist prices, located on a central street bordering Copacabana beach, closer to one of the mountains (so pretty!)

Great and attentive service with constant plate clearing and switching, even grabbing shells directly from your plate which I've never experienced before.

$66 pp for todays AYCE Brazilian BBQ/Seafood style. Seafood/salad bar that's included is pretty tasty and it varies from traditional brazilian dishes/stews, to various salads (avocado was my fave), ceviche, kampachi, sauces, and even sushi and oysters.

Of the BBQ options, the wild boar ribs surprisingly blew me away with just the right amount of seasoning and tenderness. Overall, I think the tenderness and juiciness of EVERYTHING even the pork shoulder and octopus (made my dad wonder if it was even cooked completely which it was) was on point. If anything I liked the prime rib or the cheese oyster (way too much cheese) the least. Lobster was on the saltier side, though you can taste a tinge of saltiness on most meats tho that didnt bother me.

Prices are definitely on the higher end relative to elsewhere in Rio, but still an enjoyable and unique experience (even the bathroom was an experience LOL). Would I come back? Everything was great but prob only if it's for an occasion

Honestly, although the food is tasty, is it not worth $120 bill. This place is a tourist trap.

Is the service good? Yes
The ambiance is...different. There are endless themes and designs rolled into one, which is overwhelming.

But again, Rio has so many amazing food spots at affordable prices, no one should had to waste this much money on a meal and drink.

Wonderful ambiance, beautiful rooms in the restaurant, it has a lot of beautiful statues, but it is, too expensive so I don't recommend going there if you are searching for a cheap restaurant in brazil.

Marius Degustare @mariusdegustare ... featured in the book "1000 Places To See Before You Die" was AMAZING!!!! We didn't plan a reservation and went to dinner early one night in Rio to test our luck...and we got a table pretty quickly! One of the craziest buffet spreads you will ever see in your life, the options include anything from traditional Brazilian dishes to oysters and sushi. There is no set menu, and the servers come around to your table with different cuts of steak and seafood. The ambiance was fantastic and the restaurant itself is soooo beautiful. Pricey, but definitely worth it on your next trip to Rio, Brazil.

Ambience is incredible. Wonderful, varied buffet... Choices are plentiful. Dinner service was excellent and food outstanding. This is definitely a 10!!!

Salt!

An overabundance of salt on the food, and forgettable service earns this over hyped restaurant it's glorious 1 star.

The location is excellent, it runs parallel with Copacabana just steps away from the beach. However once you enter the establishment, it's very confused and busy. A lot of greenery and colors with these antique looking moldings, but upstairs is this modern stone finish like a NYC Brownstone. I've been to Rio and I know what a color beautiful place it is and can be, but the interior needs some direction.

The premise here is Brazilian steakhouse with buffet style (Golden Corral) sides for you to self sever, while slabs of seafood and meat come to you around the clock. The continuous serving of protein selections from steak, to lobster, and even clams comes across mundane to the servers and you can feel it in their delivery and energy. They rather be somewhere else or rather the food was just on a bar (Golden Corral style). The few items you can retrieve for yourself, are sides like rice and beans, oxtails and a traditional Brazilian dish.

So far we have a terribly laid out dining room, lethargic servers and incredibly salty food. The levels of salt in the meat which is supposed to be the standout, for 70.00 USD per person....all taste the same. The salt is so dominant that I couldn't distinguish a fliet mignon from lobster tail outside of texture.

Pro tip: Save your money, no really if you are a visitor to Rio your money goes a lonnnng way, and 70.00 USD can be spent in much better places. Personal recommendation: Nusa Cafe they have a balanced menu, and their food has layers to it's flavor.

Great food and service unlimited seafood lobster shrimp and meat was super delicious
The place is like a antique shop

This place is so unique and worth the money. The staff doesn't even allow you to look like you need something. They are on it. The place is set up like a Buffett but they still bring around unlimited meat, seafood and steak. It's about 300 Reais per person but you won't regret it. The food is delicious and the decor is unbelievable. I don't eat meat so I stuck to the broccoli rice, polentas, grilled bananas, corn, black beans. All great. We paired our food with a nice red wine. This is worth a fancy night out in rio.

Absolutely incredible! The food was wonderful and the service was even better. The seafood was to die for. I suggest the shrimp and sea bass!

I also suggest behave Caprarinha... they were fantastic. And the pistachio creme brulee!

Absolutely amazing experience. Everything, from the service, the food, the decoration, the music, the constant movement of the staff, trying to make you feel rear was just outstanding. One of the servers sang our national anthem to us, unbelievable!! And we are from a small European country - Bulgaria. Highly recommended!!
