1. Texas de Brazil

If you drive up to the front door you will find that you are trapped into paying for valet parking with no way to bypass or turn around, except to back up on the long driveway in front of the door. Upon entering you will find that they keep the restaurant extremely cold so a coat or sweater is suggested. The chairs at the tables are sized for short persons and have no cushioning so they are incredibly uncomfortable if you are of average or tall height. The music is loud so you will not have to endure listening the conversations of surrounding tables however it will be hard to understand the waiter if he is standing across the table from you. All of these things tend to encourage you to not extend your stay any longer than necessary. Once you get past these aggravations you will find the food and service to be excellent. The salad bar is good but nothing is labeled. So unless you are a food connoisseur you can only guess what you are taking other than the obvious items like lettuce tomato rice corn etc. So overall if you know about the valet parking (they only charge about 5% of a two person meal for parking.), dress warm irregardless of the summertime heat and bring your own seat cushion. I would rate this restaurant a 10. If you do not bring a cushion and dress like a tourist just completing a lovely day of shopping for Disney souvenirs and do not feel compelled to have someone park your car in the blistering heat 50 feet away then I would rate this restaurant an 8 because it is hard to enjoy the food no matter how delicious when you are shivering and your rear end is hurting.

Skip lunch the day you visit this restaurant, don't fill up on the salad bar and save room for desert!

The meal is part of the entertainment. Great for a night with a group. Couples should ask for a table on the veranda, so they can people watch.
