Review content: 
I've lived near Edgebrook all my life and remember when this place was the public library. I came in with my family one night to celebrate my birthday. Now I've been to the Churrascarias in Brazil and even in the Czech Republic of all places. I thought from my previous experience and by the movie on this page the service would be traditional: servers coming around with meat on large skewers, getting a piece of meat here and there. This experience, however, was totally different (hence, I really can't credit them for being a Churrascaria). They have 2 menus, one the a la cart and one ""feast"" menu which is the ""Churrascaria"" style dinner which includes a plate of baba ganush, 3 different pastas, and then the lamb, chicken, and beef tenderloin (only they serve them on a platter cook to order, almost) with salad and their signature polenta sticks and potato side all of which you can take home if you can't finish. No doubt, it was VERY good and the service was well done. The price is well worth the visit too. But for me, skip the sides and get to the meat like I remember them doing at the REAL Churrascarias. Yes the food is great, yes they've been featured on Check Please on PBS, but I have this ""fixed"" image of what a Churrascaria is and that was what I was looking for. I think all the sides like pasta and polenta (although Very Good, I can't stress that enough) substitute the fact that A) no servers coming around with skewers of meats and B) only three meat items on their menu compared to Fugo where they have about 7 or 8 different meats. But hey, I like it; it's a very good place to take a date to or even a large group. On Friday nights, experience the Bosa Nova sounds of the live band and enjoy an authentic caipiriniah (the traditional drink of Brazil). I call this experience a ""Neo-Brazilian"" approach to the traditional Churrascaria experience. I'd definitely come back. Obrigado (thank you) for re energizing Edgebrook with your Brazilian flare Pros: cheaper than other restaurants, neo-Brazilian dining, featured on Check Please, caipiriniahs, take home leftovers, a la carte/carryout menu, Friday night music Cons: no servers with large skewers of meat, meat choices limited, drinks are small sized, street parking
