Editorial Review for Picanha Churrascaria – by Michelle R. Phipps
In Short
Sandstone-colored walls and terra cotta floor tiles set the western tone for this unique dim sum-style restaurant. "Gaucho" servers, dressed in traditional ranchero garb, approach tables carrying skewers of grilled meats, including garlic beef, leg of lamb, pork loin, sausages and chicken, allowing customers to choose exactly what they want. Red-and-green table totems indicate to servers whether to approach a table or not. The extensive salad bar offers sauteed eggplant, pasta, greens and dessert.

Insider Tips
Look GoodVegetarians and light eaters can forgo the meat and order only from the salad bar for just over half the price of a full meal. Check the bill--waiters sometimes forget the discount when ringing it up.
Save MoneyVisit at lunch for less money, or on Monday and Tuesday nights, when the set-price menu is $2 off.
ParkingAn adjacent lot just south of the restaurant on Palm provides free underground parking for up to two hours.

My family and I came to the restaurant a few days ago and had a spectacular time. We walked in and were instantly overwhelmed by the smell of the delicious meats floating in the air. The host/ess were wonderful and seated us right away. Our waiter then came over and got our drinks and we were on our way (I got the caiperinha, which was perfectly made and a great supporter to the meal). I really enjoyed the pasta and potato salad on the salad bar and for the hot food bar, there was not a single thing I didn't enjoy :). I absolutely loved the mashed potatoes and the chicken stroganoff! My favorite meats were the parmesan chicken, the picanha (house specialty, a must try), and the lamb. What I love so much about this place is that the meats are constantly rotating, so you're constantly getting a new flavoring in your mouth and you never get sick of any one meat. After dinner, even though I was already too full, I got the chocolate mousse, which was absolutely outstanding. My family shared the fruit mousse, which I tried, and was also extremely good. We left here completely satisfied, the only downside being that we could all barely walk because we were so full :). We will definitely be coming back.

We went here on Thursday 7/3 for dinner to celebrate my mom's birthday (7 of us in all) and had a great time. Our waitress was great; she explained what to expect to the rest of my family (i've been here on 2 other occassions, food was great both times as well). Our drink orders were taken and we were on our way to the salad bar. Salad bar is okay, they don't have a very large selection but since I was there for the meat, it wasn't such a big deal. The potato salad is delicious and so is the mashed potato. The chicken and mushroom stragonoff was mediore. We had lots and lots of different meat. The best was garlic beef, spicy chicken, brazilian beef, brazilian sausage, tri-tip and the top sirloin. Other meats I tried was garlic chicken, lamb and polish sausage which were okay but not great. The only meat i passed on was the parmesan chicken, last time I tried it the meat was on the dry side. When my mom was away at the salad bar, the waitress came up to me (instead of me having to find her and ask, so that was cool of her) to ask if i would like them to sing happy birthday to her with a complimentary dessert. By the end of our meal, they did just that and my mom really enjoyed everything. Price was $28 per person, 18% gratuity for parties of 7 or more.
