  I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience in a Brazilian steakhouse. Once you are seated you are offered a round card with red on one side which indicates "stop" and green indicating "go".  If you have your card turned to green this tells the servers circulating the dining area that they can stop at your table and offer up the meat.
  
  Along with the various meats ranging from lamb, chicken, beef, and breads that come around,
  you can help yourself to the salad bar. It had everything from olives, cheeses, marinated mushrooms, stewed chicken, fried bananas, tocadero beans, broccoli, etc. I mean it had such a wonderful array of foods that it would have been plenty even without the meat servings.
  
  I was truly in foodie heaven and there is no stopping you from how much you want to eat other than your own shear will power to turn that damned card over to STOP! I highly recommend anyone giving it a try. I mean it's located right inside the 02 so if your there for a venue it's the perfect place to eat!!
  
  The meat and salad bar is reasonably priced and the ambience is fun and happening!

  Stopped by after a long day working a conference, and I really wish I hadn't. The sides were all room temperature, nothing was hot or cold. I'm guessing it had sat out for an extensive amount of time.
  I did not have a single piece of meat that was enjoyable. Everything was dry/over cooked and doused in salt. We literally saw the server pour unbelievable amounts of salt while bringing back each piece of meat.
  
  I really wish I didn't eat tonight. Hopefully I won't be sick tomorrow!
  
  Update: my friend got food poisoning from this place. Lucky I did not. Do not eat here.

  Absolutely terrible service! Wait staff will ignore you, especially at a restaurant that they clearly know whether you want food or not. Not only did we have issues but watched as other customers were passed over by the staff. For the cost, save your money and find a better place to spend your money.
  
  Manager at the restaurant would rather argue and debate than be a good representative of this establishment.
  
  This is a definite PASS!

  If you want an average Brazilian steakhouse experience, this is the place for you. The salad bar options were meh at best. I had some plain white rice, and it truthfully tasted as if the water it cooked it had some type of chemical in it. The meat was decent, some of it was a bit tough. I think my biggest frustrations came from the cutlery and getting the bill.
  
  I know the meat SHOULD be tender and easy to cut, but sometimes it wasn't, and having a mildly serrated butter knife to use really didn't help. I looked around to see if maybe I just had the wrong knife...nope. It was a struggle, to say the least.
  
  We waited quite a while to get the bill, and when we asked for two separate bills, we were just given one bill. When we again asked for separate bills, the waiter gave us one bill again and just stared at us for a few seconds. One more time, we asked for a separate bill. Finally got that sorted out.

  First impressions of this restaurant is that of a second rate half board hotel canteen.
  
  The lighting is too bright and the general furnishing could do with some varnish.
  
  We were explained the method of ordering which I still wasn't too sure about after the second time of explaining.
  
  There was a buffet selection of food which didn't look at all appetising. I settled for some lasagne.
  
  As you eat you are presented with meats on a skewer. I had a sausage that was so bitter it was inedible and not cooked through properly. My mother had some chicken which was still raw in the middle.
  
  At this point I called over the manager and complained. He was not very open to what I was trying to say coming up with excuses as to why the meat was being served raw. In the end I suggested that a visit by the FSA may be in order at which point he backed down.
  
  The rest of the food was bland and pretty much disgusting.
  
  We managed to get 25% off which I still find insulting as none of us were happy with the food.
  
  Avoid like the plague.
