I love trying new places and getting to know the area! Who doesn't love a good Brazilian steak house either?!? Upon arrival I was quite shocked to see it is in a store front in a strip mall, but after walking inside it is a completely different vibe. With white table clothes, super attentive service, and highs scale food you are taken to another level. We made a reservation the day of and when we arrived we were immediately seated-- even when the restaurant was quite busy for a Monday night! Our server was super attentive to plate clearing, drinks, ensuring we got the food we wanted. One of my favorite things about a Brazilian steak house is being able to pick and choose the types of meat you get or just eating the "salad bar." This night we chose both and it did not disappoint. My favorites were the flank steak and garlic steak! The flank steak was super juicy and served thinly sliced to perfection and the garlic steak was more on the dense side but the flavor was unmatched! Now the salad bar was hit or miss in my opinion. Not the options weren't good but some items you had to have an acquired taste for. I love the sweet potatoes and the little garnishes they served, but my absolute favorite thing of the night was the lobster bisque! It was so creamy and has small chunks of lobster in it! It was the perfect temperature and had so much flavor. I had two bowls of that alone and I could've had more if I wasn't so full already! I will say some pieces of meat were more on the dry side such as lamb (as it sometimes is) but it wasn't terrible. I preferred the steak options and had multiple servings of each! Both of our drinks were delightful and super tasty! I highly recommend checking the place out if you are wanting a HEAVY dinner, but do advise that it is more on the higher priced scale.

Definitely earned the five stars. Service, quality of food, and the filet mignon could be cut with a fork. Everyone was so nice and friendly from the hostess to the servers. I wanted only filet mignon and they brought it right out. So hard not to fill up with buffet, but everything on the buffet was so amazing. Definitely the best Brazilian Steakhouse in the Tampa Bay Area.

This is one of the best Brazilian Restaurant I've been to! Their salad bar is so amazing that if you are not a meat lover you still would enjoy it. The meats are so well seasoned and a wide variety. The staff work together as a team which I like because you are always taken care of. And they make the best cairpirnha. I always get the passion fruit.

If your looking for an upscale buffet, this is your spot. Servers took amazing care of us. You are in control of them stopping at your table with meat of choice. The buffet side are balanced. Everything I had was cooked to perfection. The salad bar offers option for everyone. From pork, seafood, sushi etc. The ambiance is romantic and can still be that of family-oriented. The dessert option are sweet and healty choices. This will definitely be my top 10 spots.

I've been to many rodizios (e.g. Fogo de Chao, Brazilian / Portuguese restaurants in The Ironbound in NJ). I must admit, this spot takes the crown for being the best rodizio I've ever had. As usual, the meal starts with being provided with yuca fries, banana, mashed potatoes and Brazilian bread. The salad bar has plenty of options too. The selections of meat was incredible. Beef ribs, lambchops, salmon, chicken drumstick, ribeye, sirloin, picanha , garlic steak, etc. Everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. It wasn't overly salted like other spots I've been to. If I could provide management with any feedback, it would be to consider adding other meats to the selection such as chicken heart, leg of lamb and chicken thigh. Maybe those options are offered but I didn't see it being passed around or available. Another nice touch was having chimichurri, hot sauce and mint jelly for the meat. It was the first time I had mint jelly. It may not be homemade but I wished it to have pieces of mint or to be homemade. We celebrated our daughter's birthday. The complimentary chocolate cake was greatly appreciated. One of our favorite items towards the end was the grilled cheese and grilled pineapple. The grilled cheese had a cinnamon sugar coating and melted in your mouth. The grilled pineapple was perfect. I look forward to next time trying their desserts (e.g. passion fruit mousse, creme brule, flan). Perfect dinner spot for any occasion! My waiter was great, but don't remember his name. There was a gentleman named Jason who was very nice and helpful throughout the night.

Went to Terra Gaucha and had a good experience for my friend's birthday. The cafe con leche was excellent, and my friend absolutely loved the chocolate martini definitely a standout. Skip the espresso martini and go for the chocolate one instead. Also get the piccanha, great vibe and good drinks overall! The servers spoke Spanish and the service was quick to bring out anything you request.

Came for my birthday dinner and thoroughly enjoyed my experience! The restaurant is very nice inside and the service was exceptional. We opted for the full rodizio experience and loved the selection along with the salad bar. My favorite at the salad bar is definitely the million dollar bacon; I could eat that all night. The cheesy bread bites served at the table are so good! Mashed potatoes and caramelized bananas are also served with your meal. The picaña, filet mignon, and ribeye were delicious and well seasoned. I asked for a side of their chimichurri which adds great flavor. Our server was very attentive and would always come by for refills, to clean our table, and to replace our plates throughout our dinner. Definitely look forward to coming back to Terra Gaucha!

Outstanding - service, food, drinks, ambiance! The appetizer salad section was a meal into itself of fabulous salads, soup, appetizers galore but the stand out was the procession of wonderfully seasoned and grilled meats brought around to the tables. Paired with great cocktails and wine, get an Uber to you get there and back!
