notworththe money. based on reviews, word of mouth, and the hefty price tag my expectations were high. the salad bar selection was ok, but the presentation was terrible! i couldn't see half the items due to lack of lighting and what has to be one of the most overly obstructive sneeze guards ever. service was definitely lacking. we had our reservations for over a month and we were taken to our table right away upon arrival, but when we got there it was set up for only 4 instead of our 6. the host scrambled to add two more chairs and settings to the 4 top instead of just taking us to a larger table, of which there were plenty. our server was friendly but kept forgetting things, understandable on a busy night but it was not busy at all. we were half way through the meal before she remembered to have our mashed potatoes and bananas brought out. we had to ask for the desert tray twice. the majority of the meats were well prepared and tasted very good, but i just did not enjoy the whole roving gaucho aspect and never knowing what was coming around when. i think the thing that annoyed me the most about the whole dinner was the beverages. sodas were brought out in small 8 ounce bottles that were $3 a piece! and of course each one was an additional charge; at $45 dollars a head i think they can well afford to have sodas with complimentary refills, or at least serve a 12 ounce soda in the first place. i am usually not so stringent, but considering the price i was expecting to be wowed, and that did not happen. for what we spent at texas de brazil, we could have easily gone to some place like reatta and had a much nicer meal with far better service.
