Took our family here for Easter dinner, and it was very good. The service is great. They are quick to bring the meats when you switch your card to green, and the little side dishes were always replinished quickly. I would have liked more sauces to put on the meats--plain meat doesn't really appeal to me. My biggest disappointment was... More

The husband and I went for an early dinner at Estancia Churrascaria. I'm so glad we tried it. The food was exceptional and the staff top notch. I can't wait til we can go back.

Superior in every respect. We went for our 12th anniversary dinner to a wonderfully elegant setting, quiet, and very well appointed. The wait staff was polite, completely knowledgeable, and made us feel very welcome. The salad bar could suffice for a full meal, with roughly 20 selections. It was all you dared to eat, and everything I selected was delicious.... More

You definitely get what you pay for here - a wonderful selection of delicious cuts cooked to perfection. Nice salad bar and sides but honestly didn't spend much time on them. I enjoyed the service which was professional but not pushy. Great experience for meat lovers

Estancia is a great churrascaria if you're looking for the authentic rodízio style Brazilian churrascaria. It rivals the more well known Fogo do chão that you can find in major US and Brazil cities. The staff is great and the cuts of meat are prepared very well. The salad bar is also well done. The owner is there most days... More

As soon as we entered the Churrascaria we found an odd configuration: in the center of the restaurant in lieu of the "Fogo" full of meats, we found the "Salad Bar"! Even when we tried to seat in the first line of many lines of tables (too many for the Gauchos to walk around), the meat arrived to a temperature... More

As this is a traditional churrascaria, the meat is, of course, fantastic and cooked to order, as the skewers are loaded up with pieces cooked to various levels "doneness". I like mine medium and every bit I asked arrived at my plate just that way. But, while the meat may be the main attraction for most, it is just one... More

If you like to eat beef, this locally owned restaurant is a good value and a great meal. Recommend you not eat the prior meal to eating here. Typical Brazilian steak house with a great salad bar. Be adventurous and try all the cuts of meat. You will be surprised!

Nice Brazilian style food if you're into eating a lot of food. All you care to eat is probably not a great choice for the health conscious. Yes, delicious, dieters beware!

I've been here twice, both times with reservations, once with just my wife, and a second time with a daughter and her husband. Both times, the food and the service were top-notch, and the wine selections were nice (not much of a oneophile; we liked what we had). Rather expensive in total, so I'd say they were priced accurately for... More
