Agora Churrascaria

I've been to this Churrascaria many times, and the food and the service has always been pretty good. I've even recommended and personally introduced it to many friends. more

The service is fast, the food is incredibly high quality, and the ambiance is great. All around, eating at Agora is a very pleasurable experience. This is a great place for dinner with friends or family or work associates, and a good place for a date based on the very nice atmosphere. The servers were very friendly and accommodating. Picanha, a traditional Brazilian cut of sirloin and Costela de Carnerio (lamb chops) are my favorite here. make sure you portion control. It is very easy to overeat here. more

Our service was great and the waiter was adorable. Ambiance was romantic and definitely recommended. For the music,,,I would recommend jazz or house and the people were cool. Portions were good. more

I went here for Valentine's day after our other plans fell through. I made reservations online and when I got there didn't have to wait even five minutes. Ordered a Brazilian cocktail and some wine and hit the salad / side dish bar. That had some salads, and great potatoes, some shrimp cocktail and smoked salmon. Great way to start, I love those roasted potatoes. Then the guy's with the skewers started coming around. To wit: Bacon wrapped chicken, chicken drummettes, parmesan tenderloan, bacon wrapped filet, top sirloin, skirt steak, rare fillet, beef ribs, salmon, and tri-tip! Everything you could want. I though the $40 or so pre-set price was fair for the amount of variety and quality of meat. My favorite was the top sirloin and the rare fillet. I imagine this is also a great place for groups. Not sure what more they would have to do to get 5 stars instead of 4 so I'll give them the full 5. Pros: Excellent selection of meats and timely service Cons: None really, you'll feel super full more

The only thing yummier than the assorted meats and buffet dishes at Agora are their *CUTE* Brazilian... more

love the staff! really fun place more

I visited Agora with a group in December. It was a Tuesday and the service was wonderful, very friendly and prompt. The atmosphere is chic and elegant; a perfect place for a couple but also works well for group dining due to the unique style of serving. Not to mention the food was fantastic!!! I highly recommend. more

One of my favorite spots for my brazilian food fixes. I eat here at least once a month and i don't think i will ever get tired of the food here. more

I absolutely loved every bit of my visit at this restaurant. The food was prompt and yummy...fresh and the atmosphere was just perfect. more

I took my girl here on our 2 year anniv. I was lucky this place was good, not that she'd really care, but I didn't want dull food. This place was sooo good with their selection, and everything I tried was near perfect. It is kinda expensive (anticipate at least 60 per person), but worth it. I loved it, she loved it, and we can't wait to go back. they do need a little more variety in their side portions area, but customers truly only go there for the Brazillian style meat. Pros: Service, Food, Ambience Cons: Side Dishes more

This place is okay, but way too pricey for what it is! My thought coming out of there was: ""give me a freakin' break!!' Churrascarias are known for being pricier than the average dining experience, justified by 'all the food you're getting.' So even if expensive, I'd expect this place to have something else: an ambience, the service, the variety... But instead, everything was average, or less than. I thought it was nothing out of the ordinary, and the meat was not that great. There was not that much variety. I personally also like all the brazilian 'additives' to come w/ the meat: collard greens, pao de queijo, farofa,... there was nothing!!! Just some whitened salad at the bar (yuck!) There was, of course, a general 'snottiness' vibe coming from the waiters, because after all, ""this is a 'schee-schee' place that it's too good for mortals."" I think the churrascaria in Long Beach is WAY better (forgot the name!); and if you do want something fancy and 'schee-schee' to take guests, Fogo de Chao in LA is a much better choice b/c there, both the food and the ambience impresses. Agora needs to get over itself, or step up their game!!! Pros: Location for OC residents who like brazilian food Cons: Too pricey, little value more

Yummy food. Great Service. Romantic dining. Semi-casual. Price on the upper end but OK for celebrations. Save your appetite for this meal as there's a ton of meat to try and a good size buffet to keep you busy! Pros: Good Food, Ambiance, Service Cons: Price more

What a great dining experience! Agora is the best Brazialian Restaurant that I have ever been to. The selection is better than most and they change it all tthe time. It is only a place to go to when you really are hungry. They have a buffet area with side dishes and salads. The meats are served table side on skewers and they are right off the grill. more

I think Agora is the best Churrascaria in Southern California. The service is good, the decor is nice, blah ,blah. The bottom line is this place has the best tasting food out of all the Brazilian steak houses I've been to. Pros: Food, service, atmosphere Cons: Like most good restaurants, it's not cheap. more

My wife and I visited the restaurant on 1/11/08; the service from the waiter was good. However, after seating for 20 minutes and having followed the advice of Citysearch website, a site with customer's reviews of fine dining establishment, we visited the salad bar and ate lettuce and tomato only. Leaving plenty of room for the meat, that was never to be. Pros: NICE LOOKING ATTRACTIVE DECOR Cons: NEVER TATES THE MEAT, SERVICE WAS SLOW more

I have been to several Brazilian steak house but this one is awsome, fantastic restaurant. I would definately recommend this restaurant to treat your date or your family or any business associate in a royal atmostphere. more

I've been to several churrascarias. The restaurant is nicely designed, but comparing price to value against the other all-you-can-eat Brazilian places, I would rate this one the worst. For a weekend dinner visit, it was missing a few meat servings that other locations served. Another big downside is the small size of their drink glasses. When service is slow, you'd better be taking small sips. And if you order non-refillable drinks like orange juice, be ready to fork out the money as a 6 year old ended drinking $12 dollars of juice (of course, they didn't bother asking an adult before bringing over the 2 extra juice glasses). Also, charging $21 for a 4 year who just had some rice and bread is definitely not worth the money. Two other churrascarias did not charge for the 4 year old kid. Pros: Very nice looking restaurant Cons: Valet parking when there is plenty of parking (your car will be parked in front of your eyes) more

Great food and Service. Everytime we go we get amazing service. The manager always comes around and checks... more

Very classy environment with great service. Nice variety of starters at the salad bar including smoked... more

Even though I don't really enjoy meat in general I still go there because of the salad bar and the cheese ball (don't know how you call it exactly) those little bread... sooooooooooo goooooooooood more
