Copacabana Brazilian Restaurant--review


 

The last time I was here was over a year ago and I gave it a fairly good review. Being a few doors down from where I was getting new glasses, and Allen having a friend from out of town, we decided to give it a try. They are fixing the walks in front of the stores so be careful when walking

They have an ever changing day to day buffet and I hope the other days have a better, fresher hot meals section. Maybe it was the time we went in which was just after 2:30 PM and we were the only party in the place. The waitress was pleasant and checked back often, took away the dirty plates as soon as we were finished with them and made sure we had our drinks before we sat down with our first plates.

I didn't have any of the fresh salad offered and went right for the hot food which was a big mistake on my part. The fried chicken had a very hard crust and the chicken inside was dried out. The spaghetti and meatballs was just passable so I finished by sticking with the black beans and rice.

The buffet was $9.99 a person with their cans of diet coke were $3 so plus tax our bill came to $41.77 and we left a $9 tip.

Since last year there is a new owner, the price has gone up and the food value has gone down. Will be curious if it is still there when I go for glasses next year!

What you chose from the buffet doesn't sound very Brazilian. The only thing I know about that style of restaurant is from those ones where they come around with roasted meat on big swords and saw off a portion for each customer. And then there's a buffet for the side dishes.

Jeez, you have a good plan if you can get glasses every year. 2pm is probably not the best time for a buffet. I try and get it right at Chinese. Too early and it's too busy, too late and the stuff sits under/over the heat. Better luck next week.

This location has been 4 different restaurants over 3 years--all with the same South American there but different areas like Brazilian, Argentinan, Peruvian and Ecuadorian!
