    My boyfriend and I went to Picanha for an anniversary dinner in the middle of the week. When we went, there were no other diners at all- we were the only ones there the whole time. The servers were very attentive and kind. However, the food at the salad bar was all freezing cold and subpar. The meats were okay, but not impressive and not as mouthwatering as other Brazilian Steakhouses I’ve been too. I lost my appetite while eating the food to be honest. Again, the people were very kind, just not somewhere I’d ever go again.

    This place was less than desirable, especially when compared to other Brazilian steakhouses in the area. The self-serve food in the bar area was cold. They stopped bringing meat to our table after about 40 minutes. Customer serve was good . I wouldn't return.

    I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. There are many other Brazilian steakhouses that are far superior for the same price. The waiters did not come around often enough and some of the meat (not all) were not fresh. Also the bar where they offer salads and such was very skimpy not nearly as many options as the other places. I would say skip this place and choose somewhere else.
    Picanha Brazilian Steakhouse - Center CityResponded on October 28, 2024
