Three of us went there last week... we were the only table until around 7pm, when 3 other tables filled. They began with several plates of side dishes (kinda tapas-like, only Brazilian), and eventually began bringing around the slabs of meat, some of which you had to hold with metal tongs as they sliced it off the skewer to order. The food was very tasty, and the meat had a certain extra seasoning that we couldn't quite detect... until shortly after we finished... when one by one, we began, er... needing to use the facilities. In short, we don't coexist well with MSG, and it hit all three of us. We were fully prepared to highly recommend the place, except for the following hours spent, er... well.... um... As long as MSG doesn't bother you, I'd recommend the place. Certainly a sweet family, the dad came to our table afterwards to thank us, and it looks like they could use the support. Oh, and the desserts were INCREDIBLE! Relaena, the msg-intolerant

Brazilian places?

In Seattle? There's only one, Rio Brazilian Grill, on University Way NE. There's also an Argentine-style equivalent, the Buenos Aires Grill, down in Belltown. You want the best? Buy yourself a ticket to New York City - JetBlue has direct overnight flights from Seattle. Head up to Midtown Manhattan, and go to Churrasco Plataforma. To die for. Meat-eater's heaven. Order a caiprinha with your dinner.

I've only been a couple of times, and the food was excellent, prices pretty good, portions perhaps a little smallish, but the interesting flavors make up for it. -Josh

Just came back from Rio Brazilian. Great food - the meat was very tender (the tri-tip was out of this world), good sides (the feijoada especially), and the dessert (a coconut "manjar" - kind of like a pudding/flan - with pineapple sauce) was delicious. Yes, it's a meat-eaters heaven.
