Editorial Review for Churrascaria Plataforma – by Daniel Rosenblatt
The Scene
The handsome, simply appointed dining room has a circus-like atmosphere, with lots of "oohs" and "aahs," clanging of silverware and waiters who relish in talking up the different cuts of beef.
The Food
When you're ready, green-light the expert cutters by flipping the small disc at your place setting, and you're presented with rounds of pork ribs, short ribs, rib-eye, sirloin, flank steak, brisket, top round, special top round, chicken legs, sausage, pork loin, lamb and the oft-overlooked fish of the day. Most of the beef is nicely charred, teasingly salty and medium roasted so the slices are pink and moist. The poultry and pork loins are flavorful, and pork sausages remain juicy beneath a crisp exterior.

You get what you pay for. The food is good and the price is high. Unfortunately, you also get snooty service. What baffles me is how an entirely unoriginal concept could be so snooty about its service. When you go to Daniel, Per Se, etc - they are warm and welcoming and you have a great experience. I didn't see any Michelin stars on the wall, nor people queuing like at the Little Owl, but yet several of their employees, including "Ricardo" treated us as if we were lucky to be there. The real luck is that I can stop by a better version of a Brazillian steakhouse in Dallas or Atlanta, where people have better manners.
Cons: Group Dining Nightmare!

We ate there on Mother's Day and I accounted for that fact in my review. Party of 6 adults. We were seated reasonably quickly with a full house. Head waiter greeted us but was rarely seen during the dinner. No wine list offered. We had little attention from the drink waiter (surprising as this is a big money-maker for them) and had to repeatedly ask for wine and beer replenishments. The headwaiter assisted with some drink orders near the end of dinner after I flagged him down. He was friendly and polished. Desert was a bit hodge-podge. The cart was rolled in and we made selections and were served. Coffee was not even offered as there was no drink waiter. We had to flag one down. Port wine was offered and I think it was comp'ed or part of the desert service. Had a good time - the buffet, sides and the meat courses were all very fresh and flavorful. The meat waiters were attentive.
Pros: Food - perfectly cooked meats and fresh buffet
Cons: Service was a bit off but OK
