Oh yes, the space is gorgeous! It was the perfect setting for a 40th birthday. There is a steakhouse/old money vibe (suitable since it was a bank) but the windows keep it from being stuffy.
Overall the food was very good. I especially liked the linguica sausage, lamb chops and top sirloin. The bacon chicken medallions were meh–chicken was very dry. The chicken legs however were juicy and delicious.
The market table was abundantly stocked–I was pleased at the selection of roasted vegetables. My fave was the artichoke hearts, and the roasted baby peppers were a close second. They also thoughtfully included some papaya slices in the mix–great for helping to digest the meats. There is also smoked salmon, sliced salami, assorted cheeses, good bread and a bunch of different salad greens to round out the meal. Don’t miss the rice and black beans on the table across from it though–they are quite good!
The service was paced so the meat portions were not overwhelming. I didn’t get to all of the meat selections, but I was pleased with what I had. Since this was a group of 12 it all worked well for us. Not sure how the churrasco experience translates in a smaller group, though I would be willing to try.
There is also a good selection of wine and cocktails offered at $7 each even at dinner. The Malbec and caipirinha were both quite good, especially at this price. Birthday girl brought her own cake and I think there was a nominal plate charge.
Overall a pretty good place for a larger group. The Churrasco (which includes the market table), a glass of Malbec or two plus tip runs about $100 per person.
I would definitely recommend.
