Very happy! The food delicious! The dancers amazing! We were in a group, everyone was so happy! Thanks a lot. Definitely I will come back.
Great time here, the food portions were very generous for the buffet and the servers were extremely nice and attentive the whole time bringing around the meats and anything else we requested. The set up was near the dance floor so the decor wasn’t amazing, and the entrees wasn’t of the highest quality but pretty good for a buffet. The meat was all very tender and well prepared. The waiter settling our bill also took very good care of us (25 April)
Service 100% satisfied. Food was really good. I wanted to see dancing and even got to do a bit of dancing myself. Go to eat, eat, eat, and then shake, shake, shake!
I had my first experience at RIO Brazilian Restaurant in Parramatta tonight, and it did not disappoint! The all-you-can-eat meat service was incredible — I definitely ate my fill and then some! The endless skewers of perfectly cooked, flavorful meat had me reminiscing about my old "chew and spew" days at Pizza Hut, but in the best possible way. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was lively. If you're a meat lover, this place is an absolute must-try!
We had dinner at this restaurant yesterday, the food was delicious, we were particularly impressed with the grilled white fish, which was marinated in a dill and lemon sauce and was beautifully tender. The meat was also delicious. The waiters and head chef Diego were very attentive, friendly and kind. At the end, they served meltingly crispy bananas with a caramel topping. The restaurant is very spacious for larger parties. We liked!
