Good meat but overpriced
3 Star Rating: Average

It was an interesting dining experience and good quality food, but unless you like to gorge yourself on meat, it is NOT worth the money. We didn't know there was a flat price, and the waiters do not inform you of this. We were expecting a menu before the meat course, but none was ever brought. In fact, you have no indication of the price of anything until the very hefty bill comes ($65-70 per person, one drink). I love fine dining and have eaten in a number of other expensive restaurants in Austin, this one is not worth the price. Otherwise the service was very good though. It was an exciting atmosphere, but unfortunately very noisy. The meat was very good and you have the chance to sample many different types, but you cannot always get the type you want (they may be wandering the other side of the restaurant) and it took quite a while to get the meat that was cooked medium (it all seemed to be very rare).

Meats are slow-roasted over a fire in the traditional "Gaucho" style at this South Brazilian restaurant in the Convention Center District.  See the full editorial review.
