We recently tried the new Tradicao location out in Clear Lake, on Bay Area Blvd. The service, attention to every little detail, and responsiveness of the waiters and gaucho servers, were all excellent. They have a very versatile wine selection, a very well decorated and romantic atmosphere, and very well-versed waiterswaitresses. The manager came around a couple of times to make sure we were pleased with our experience. I tried the bacon-wrapped filet mignon, garlic-herbed shrimp, and lamb chops. They were all mouth-watering delicious and perfect. My wife and kids tried the cheese breads, sirloin, house special-cut ribeye, and a host of other delicacies, and they were all excellent. The Valet parking attentdants were also very polished, professional and polite. They have also remodeled the entrance with a walkover bridge and beautiful fish ponds on both sides of the front dooorways. We really could not have enjoyed the experience any more than we did. Excellent in my book; and I AM a picky eater!\r
PS: Try the Merryvale Starmont Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon red wine from Napa Valley; about $52 per bottle, and worth every penny.\r
UPDATE: 2/18.2011: We have now eaten here twice, and the 2nd time was just as good or better than the first time. Versatile wine list, excellent service, 14 kinds of meat, lamb chops, grilled shrimp, etc This location on Bay Area Blvd in Clear Lake is excellent!
