Best Casual Restaurants in Mid West

Review of Chama Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse Chama Gaucha delivers an outstanding dining experience every time! The service is always exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring your visit is nothing short of amazing. The food is simply incredible—there’s a wide selection of meats, including various cuts of beef, lamb, shrimp, and pork, all perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. One of the highlights is the endless supply of food. Servers consistently come around offering small bites of everything, ensuring you get to sample the full variety. It’s a feast that feels both indulgent and exciting! That said, we did notice an unexpected price increase for the Christmas Eve dinner. There was a $30 holiday upcharge that we weren’t aware of beforehand. While the food and experience were worth it, a heads-up about the holiday pricing would have been appreciated. Overall, Chama Gaucha remains a top choice for a special occasion or a memorable dining experience. Great food, fantastic service, and an enjoyable atmosphere make it well worth a visit!

Our waitress was amazing on a very busy Christmas Eve. We all enjoyed our dinner and the dessert for our dad’s birthday was a delicious treat.

Great Christmas Eve dinner. Delicious meats and an excellent salad bar. The fried cheese is some of the best!

We had our Annual Family Christmas Dinner at LA Colonial after a show downtown. The food was amazing - great menu, great wine/cocktail menu and the service was very good. The restaurant is very beautiful- it was a busy evening and I'm hoping to go back at a less busy time to really enjoy the ambiance. Our family loved the experience!

Absolutely Beautifully Decorated for Christmas. Lovely Service, as usual. Food is always fresh, great portions and delicious! Such Joy & Cheer !
