A lot of little things, mistakes, errors puts Texas de Brazil way below the Chima chain!
On
the positive side the hostess was very positive with a smile and
greeting. On the other hand I saw the manager walk around the dining
room 3-4 times without stopping once at a table--a personal peeve of
mine. The dining room is beautifully designed but going to the rest room
can make for solving a maze.

     
While
the salad area and selections were superb--especially the flower
arrangement above it--every selection of meat was so salty it was almost
impossible to eat any of it.
The  piece of carrot cake, if made on
the premises would be very surprising, is ruined by the raspberry and
chocolate sauce under and around it.

Our
server made mistakes, like bringing an iced tea instead of a diet coke
among other things, though was swift with refills of water and coffee.

  


With
the 2 dinners ($93.98), coffee ($3), iced tea ($2.75) 2 desserts
($16.50) tax ($3.66--which was wrong) plus a $20 tip for a total of 
$136.23 the only saving factor was we had a coupon for 1 free birthday
dinner from their web site plus they gave us one of the desserts so the
check came to $84.65
Even at $43 each the meal wasn't worth it.

They
say you can tell a restaurant by the bathrooms and that sort of is a
good example why the Texas De Brazil is a failure. There is no toilet
paper holder and it is standing on the sink. The garbage can is near the
door instead of the wash stand, urinals or commodes. A good looking
bathroom but impractical.
Oh yes there is valet parking for $5
plus tip or public parking, very well hidden. Do not park in the Publix
parking lot as you wil be towed which always adds to a meal in more than
just price!
