Pampas

Great side bar food options and so much good meat! Cocktails are pretty good also. Staff was friendly and attentive. Great system to let the staff know when you're ready for meat service, and when you've had enough. You can even take a break, let things settle, then start meat service again. Such a wonderful place.

For the 1%'s and 1%-adjacent. My company was quite attractive (ok, very attractive... attractive enough to elicit a stare from a woman at the bar as we walked by), so she was my ticket in. But we probably won't return, since it didn't pass the calamari test. Boring is how we'd describe the calamari and sauce, though she remembered having a better experience prior. We were on a tight schedule and ordered everything to arrive together; the dessert and deep-fried appetizers all consumed in parallel, service was attentive enough given our possibly annoying sense of urgency, and we got her to her train on time, so I'll bump this up to a technical 4th star, but a 3-star at heart. I think we just expected more out of what appears to cater to the elite, especially with elite entree prices.

The rodizio is really good. I'd say it's on par with the better Brazilian steakhouses I've been too. However, they have a really good happy hour every day from 5-7 at the bar/lounge. My personal favorite is the capifruta cocktail and the beef sliders on the same cheese rolls they serve with the rodizio.
