    From the moment we walked in and they held the door open for us to quickly being greeted and sat at our reserved table it was wonderful. The appetizers were tasty. We had the Estia chips, octopus, and the beets. Our meals were served hot and in a timely fashion. We had the lamb chops, the sea bass, and the chicken dish. Everything was done well and they gave us the necessary attention without being overbearing. All of the food was tasty and no need to add anything to enhance the flavors. It is fine dining and the price reflects that but it is worth the splurge.

    Gaucho’s Prime in King of Prussia offers an authentic Brazilian steakhouse experience with top-quality meats, a fantastic salad bar, drinks, and excellent service. The picanha, filet mignon, and lamb chops are perfectly cooked, and the variety of sides, including feijoada, pão de queijo, and banana frita, adds to the experience. The staff is attentive, and the ambiance is upscale yet welcoming. Great value for a rodízio—we highly recommend it!
