I think they are safe so I should give it more stars but the service the last two times was so bad it doesn’t even matter. I mean abysmal. Just eat elsewhere and save the frustration of a waste of money

These comments are for this location only.
Host and manger know about celiac and GF requirements.
Staff are not trained to understand GF and cross-contamination or other food allergies. They hand you a laminated list identifying different allergy sensitive items and you carry to the food bar. This list or GF “menu” is from 2017 and not organized very well. Have recipes changed?
The food bar items are not labeled, so one has to stick to known GF items (e.g., cheese, tomatoes, fruit), and hope for no cross contamination.
The meats are good and all but a few are prepared GF.
I’d only recommend this location if you are astute and experienced at sorting foods. Otherwise, beware.

Amazing meal. Manager came to talk with us upon arrival and mentioning celiac. He gave me a detailed allergen menu. All the meats were gluten free along with bread at the table. It was a fantastic experience!

I think we would’ve had a better experience if we had a smaller group. There were 12 of us. We sat and I told our waitress I was gluten free, and she mentioned the allergen booklet she would get me and also that all the meat is gf except the chicken. Even the bread was gf. She never came back with that booklet, and then 25 people with meat came out before we even had drinks. I was full before we even had water. Gluten free wise, taste is phenomenal. Service wise, very intense and kind of “fend for yourself”, because our waitress never came back until we hunted her down

Server didn’t know what celiac was but knew “gluten free”. I was told the buffet was pretty much all gluten free - so I didn’t trust going up to it and ordered a plated dinner instead.

I went through all my allergies with them and they assured me of what I could eat.
That didn’t work I’ve been very sick sick leaving the restaurant yesterday. They don’t understand celiac and food allergies and do not care

Had a solid experience here. They gave me an allergy printout (like 5 pages) indicating any allergen ingredients in every food (including all sauces and dressings) served. That was very helpful! The cheesy bread they give you is still GF, made with tapioca flour, and sooo good…and all meats are still GF except the chicken and the sausage…three different servers reiterated this for me. So I was able to eat lots of delicious things with no issue at all. Also, the manager came out when he saw I had the allergen materials on the table and double checked that I felt very informed and had no issues, which I really appreciated. I heard before I went that the polenta sticks are not fried in a dedicated fryer, so I did not eat those. The food was all delicious and you get a lot for the price. It was very busy and a bit chaotic to get seated even with a reservation, but worth it, just don’t go when you’re on a timeline. Definitely recommend.

When I first arrived I asked the hostess what gluten free options there were. She said that everything was GF besides the Parmesan chicken. I honestly didn’t believe what she was saying so I asked our server. He said he had no idea and would ask someone. He ended up asking the hostess and she said the same thing as when I asked. I told our server that I needed a print out of allergens or to speak to manager. Luckily the manager came over and explained what was GF and had a 3 page print out for me. After reading the print out there really aren’t too many things that aren’t GF. I posted the photo of the allergens for you to see. I had a great meal after learning what I could and couldn’t have!

What a great experience! The food was excellent! The waiter, Alessandro, clearly explained what was and was not gluten free. They have wonderful cheese bread gluten free and all the meat you can eat. They also have a great salad/fruit bar. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! This was great for my Celiac daughter and I as well as the rest of the family that isn’t GF!

Amazing restaurant. As someone with celiac disease, I get very wary about restaurants. But our waiter immediately asked if anyone had any dietary restricts. When I informed him I was celiac, he knew everything already that was guaranteed gluten free (which is most of the menu). He even went & asked the kitchen/manager to confirmation. The market table was all gluten free except the croutons & bread. Each item had its own instrument so no cross contamination. The meat was all gluten free except for the chicken legs, as it was marinated in a beer sauce, but the chicken breast was fine. The Brazilian sides were not gluten free, but it did not really matter as there was so much food I was completely full. Amazing restaurant, amazing food, & amazing service. I felt they were at a high standard to validate my celiac needs & would definitely recommend & go again.

Almost everything is gluten free, including the bread at every table!! Our server was VERY knowledgeable about cross contamination and said I would be safe eating off the Buffett (I chose not to), but to avoid the hummus, chicken and bread. I tested the bread at the table with my Nima, tested GF. I’m VERY sensitive and did not get sick.

Be sure to ask for their allergen list print out. Very easy to read and includes everything available from the meats to the market bar. Don't be worried about the table bread, cheese bread is made with tapioca starch. The meats are brought out seperately so cross contamination (from chicken dishes) was not a worry. Even GF dessert available!

So good!!! The churrasco experience is amazing, and all of the meat is delicious. The Brazilian Cheese Bread is also amazing. Almost everything is gluten free except for the chicken, italian bread, & scalloped potatoes, so there is little risk of CC especially with the salad bar. Highly recommend, even though it is a bit on the pricier side.

This place was absolutely phenomenal. Upon arriving, we talked to the manager and asked for a gluten free menu. He very quickly brought us one and I was delighted to see that the majority of the menu was naturally gluten free. The bread in the center of the table, to start, was luckily safe to eat as it was made from some naturally gluten free flour. Pretty much every meat was safe to eat and tasted incredible. For dessert, I got a bowl of ice cream which was also gluten free. I had no issues with cross contamination, although I’m not incredibly sensitive. All of the wait staff, including the manager were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I will definitely return here. This was an experience to remember!

We had an INCREDIBLE experience. I recommend going earlier in the dinner seating so it is not as busy. The food was constantly flowing and we got great support around GF options. Almost everything was gluten free except for the chicken wings and bread on the salad bar. The cheese bread served to the table is gluten free and truly amazing. Highly recommend. We felt very safe.

Most of the meats are gluten-free, and the little rolls they bring to the table are naturally gf. Most of the servers know all of the things that are safe and not. If they are unsure, the manager will definitely know. We’ve had several meals at this location, and all have been amazing with no reactions.

The service and food were excellent. I told them I was gluten free and pork free and my husband wanted his meat well done. The printed list showing all of the food with the allergens was an extra special touch. They accommodated all of our requests easily and one manager came to the table to make sure we were happy and another manager helped me with the Market table which has a huge array of different cold foods. The drinks all the way to the dessert, they made us feel special with their attention to detail. It's expensive, but worth it to splurge every once in a while so I would definitely go back.

One of the more knowledgable Brazilian steakhouses in terms of what GF people can and can’t have in terms of the meats. Chicken wings battered in beer. Otherwise other meats just cooked with salt. Salad bar involves some navigating and some dishes seem to have butter. Overall good experience. No issues.

We had dinner here six days ago and had what they call the “full experience.” The server brought me a GF menu, which was two sheets of paper, but then came back to take it away before we began eating. Given that they bring meat dishes to you continually, I thought that was strange. One star off because I had to remember the items I couldn’t have (fortunately there weren’t a lot). The meats that I had were wonderful, and I especially enjoyed the side of polenta. Absolutely no reaction.

This restaurant mainly serves buffet style. MOST of the items on the buffet are gluten free, but they include regular French Bread which creates cross contamination potential for the entire food bar. Some desserts have gluten. The items on the food bar are not labeled for ingredients or allergens.
I asked if anything was not gluten free, and told 2 waiters I had celiac. I was served the chicken which apparently is marinated in regular beer. No serious reaction but that is abysmal.
The food was very good, overall.
As far as service, we had a remarkably terrible experience given that this is a fancy restaurant. We were given no direction his to start the meat ‘experience’ and 2 of us sat while one ate her fish. 3/4 of the sides simply ever came out, which we only realized when someone brought a plate of mashed potatoes after we were 90% done. Server kept assuming guest, who we were treating for a special occasion, was getting the bill, and addressed him about wine cost 2-3 times. The server blamed the kitchen and argued with us when we said we had issues with never getting our sides. It was so bad I think I forgot a flaw or two. Oh, and we waited so long for the bill our guest had to leave from the table.
The combination of high prices, awful service, and being served food with gluten means I am highly unlikely to return to this location. The fact that it’s 95% gf means I’ll probably try another location some day.

We came to celebrate a birthday after calling ahead to make sure they have GF options. The waitress was very kind and patient, and double checked the information to make sure she got it right. We were happy to learn almost the entire salad bar was safe, as are all meats except for one kind. There was also a wide variety of deserts that are GF - everything they make in house. Overall we had a great experience and no symptoms.

They were very helpful and knew about celiac. They said to stay away from the chicken legs and sausage. Sausage doesn’t have gluten but could be cross contaminated because it touches the chicken. Everything else was gluten free. Very yummy!

Called in an order and was told it would be ready in 5-10 minutes. Arrived 15-20 minutes later and it still wasn’t ready. Had to wait 15 minutes and the hostess was not helpful at all. Manager finally came out since I communicated to everyone I was in a rush and a car was waiting for me outside. He offered a promo for their mistakes. Disappointed with their service.

Totally worth the price! There literally were two things I could NOT have! Two! Celiac heaven! I haven’t eaten at a buffet since being diagnosed 6 years ago.

Great food and great service. We walked in right after they opened for the day. Jose, the manager sat us down at a really great table with a beautiful view. He was able to answer all the questions we had about the food and made sure that my wife was taken care of because of her gluten allergy. Being gluten free is not easy but he made sure that her sea bass which was excellent, was definitely gluten free and if she wanted the all you can eat meat, that that was gluten free as well. Joseph behind the bar made one of the best Mojitos ever. Then Noel made really good conversation, super friendly to us, and made sure that the food was excellent. The service staff was excellent as well. So if your gluten free, want a lot of beef/lamb/chicken, or just an excellent mojito... this is the place.

Have been multiple times with my SO who is a Celiac. The staff was great! They knew which meats he could eat (all but 2) and which other menu items were safe. The market table and bar are mostly gluten free. We were able to find a checklist online with all the allergens listed for each item before we went for the first time. We have been back multiple times since. There have been no issues with cross contamination thus far.
