Great food, very comfortable seating. It’s a high end place so don’t expect a lot of food for a low price but pricing wasn’t crazy either

It was our first time at Oliveira's Steakhouse and we had a wonderful time. The staff was very friendly and welcoming , the food was delicious. We were impressed with the many choices at the buffet and the options of meat served table-side. I felt that the price was reasonable for the amount of food we got. We chose the All You Can Eat option at $49.99pp and had more than enough to eat, overall it was a great experience and we will definitely come back!
