NY Adventures and beyond...: Churrascaria Riodizio

I noticed this blog is becoming more like a “food blog”. Well, I must admit that we don’t really go out… it’s mostly work during the week and house chores on the weekend. Besides, we really don’t have “hobbies” that you can call. IFC is fond of basketball but he can’t do that by himself not to mention that he’d rather take a rest.

Anyway, it was our 3rd wedding anniversary yesterday and as usual, we went to a restaurant for dinner. RioDizio (rotisserie) is a Brazilian restaurant offering tableside service for a fixed price.

They have a Gourmet Salad Bar which features different kinds of salad, risotto, grilled veggies, hot dishes like tilapia and chicken, beans and sausage, etc.

Then, there is the “all you can eat meat”. Professional carvers go from one table to another, serving perfectly grilled, high-end cuts of meat like beef tenderloin, beef short ribs, pork sausage, flank steak, sirloin steak, etc.

IFC really enjoyed the food but got full too soon that he didn’t even had the chance to taste everything. :)

Drinks and desserts are not included in the price though… which (I think) how most restaurants are. They’re not that expensive anyway. But I must say I didn’t really enjoy the chocolate mousse. I’m not saying it didn’t taste good but maybe I was expecting more… I mean being someone crazy on desserts it could have tasted better.

Service was excellent. Waiters including the manager were on top of things all the time. They make sure that you have everything you need. Everyone was courteous and friendly.

Overall, it is highly recommended!

Btw, I purposely didn’t take pictures of the food. I felt like I couldn’t with all those people around us. I got these pictures from google as usual.
