At the bottom of this post is the web page (just copy and paste into URL) featuring the foods, all you can eat including the sumptuous
salad bar, which is unbelievable and the interior of the restaurant. Of
course if he knew what it was costing me he would refuse to go but
that's another story. Yes, I would like DSL and a DVD player and a few other 'things' but thanking a friend for
standing by and really helping me, beyond the call of duty to a friend,
deserves something special. Last year it was brunch in the rotating 66
tower and he hasn't stopped talking
about it. I am hoping he will feel the same way about this dining
experience--and, if it isn't too tacky, I'll tale my camera, play
tourist and take pictures of the Gaucho waiters!!! LOL

(The following is a review from The Best Of 2009 New Times paper.)
You know this is an indulgence of the most gluttonous sort. You know you
shouldn't go often. But you're smart about it; you try to go with different
people most of the time. You coyly suggest it on birthdays and anniversaries —
yours and theirs. Just driving by, smelling the steaks, triggers some sort of
primitive desire to chew meat. When you arrive, as you move through the open
courtyard and elegant, South Beach-meets-Rio décor, your mouth actually
salivates just a bit. You're seated and your waiter explains how it all works.
It's time. You start with the phenomenal salad bar, with all kinds of gourmet
fresh peppers, cheeses, soups, and veggies. Then comes the meat. Sirloin. Filet mignon. Lamb. Flank steak. Top sirloin. Baby top sirloin. Rib eye. Pork loin in
Parmesan. Sausage. And it's all brought to you by delightful gauchos dressed in
traditional Brazilian garb. You might debate for a moment with your fellow
diners which cut of meat is the tastiest. Then you remember the best part: You
don't have to choose.
