General Notes

I would not recommend coming to this restaurant. It is nominally a Brazilian steakhouse and is much less expensive than other options, especially if you don't eat much, since you can also choose to price your meal at $10/pound instead of the $30 AYCE option. But the food quality is sadly very subpar. I would recommend going to Fogo de Chao any day, even if the latter is much more expensive.


Positives

> Less pricey compared to most Brazilian steakhouses, particularly if you don't eat very much.


Negatives

> You don't really get the experience of a Brazilian steakhouse. Instead of servers walking around offering cuts of meat, you actually walk up to the kitchen and request specific cuts, almost like in a cafeteria.
> This restaurant is located in a pretty strange part of Somerville. The interior decor is and atmosphere is not great.
> Most of the meats are not properly cooked to temp. They are also not nearly as tender or juicy as I would hope. I don't like the way the meats are served either - they are sliced from the steak, then chopped up into tiny pieces.
> The selection of side dishes is meh at best.
