5. Texas de Brazil

Went here with the girlfriend to enjoy a spontaneous evening out. We didn't get trapped into the valet parking which seems out of place given all of the shorts & tank top clad tourists all over the restaurant cheapening the image somewhat. We each got the standard 'dinner' which involves all you can eat of whatever meat the serves are bringing around at the time. They were all very tasty, and cooked well however be prepared to cut, hold, and fork your dinner around 2-3 bites at a time and then wait for a few minutes for another piece to come around. If you expect privacy and atmosphere, you're in the wrong place. waiters are CONSTANTLY bustling around you which is good when you're hungry but bad when you're trying to enjoy a meal. If I ever decide to go next time, I'll get a table in a corner and simply order an entree

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.

This place Rocks!! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The food was sooooo good! I will recommend this place to everyone. However, if you are not willing to pay for an exceptional meal, stay away. It was a little pricey but well worth the money spent.
