Espeto Na Bras, Norfolk, Virginia Restaurant Details

Food:

Like some of the others that have posted, I'm very puzzled over all the very cold hearted negative responses. My wife and I had our very first date there and the food, service, drinks and value were wonderful! In fact, the date was incredibly memorable and this restaurant contributed to it! If you listen to all the strange negative responses, then you're going to miss out on a great meal. I've been to the larger chain Brazilian steakhouses and this one clearly stacks up at a lower price. Give it them the chance they deserve and you won't be sorry. Also, no one paid me to leave this review ...it was from my own experience. Mark from Chesapeake.

Please don't ignore the bad reviews like I did before going to this "establishment." The experience we had at Espeto Na Brasa was the worst in my life without exaggeration. The salad bar was pathetic, the "bartender" could not even make a rum and coke correctly nor could he remember to bring one person's beer (when we got a waitress to get the beer, she brought a warm one), and when the server finally brought the meat to the table, the portions offered were minuscule. I rarely complain and I never post like this but please trust my review and save yourself some aggravation.

I'm not saying Espeto na Brasa is a bad restaurant. Their food wasn't really that bad. All I'm saying is that unless you live next door to the place and you've recently won the lottery, you should avoid this place.
Their food was edible. Nothing really jumped out at being special. If there was a Brazilian theme to any of the food I ate last night then I'd say Golden Coral is a Brazilian restaurant.
Most of the meats we ate were seasoned well, but overcooked. I did enjoy the chicken wrapped in bacon.
My wife was interested in eating here because of the 'Brazilian' theme. If this is your only reason for trying this place, then I'd reconsider.

We decided to eat here before our concert at the NORVA. The food was very good and we enjoyed our experience. Wait staff and management went above and beyound. We forgot our tickets and one of the owners was kind enough to let us use the printer to print our tickets. Couple of tips... don't load up on the salad bar items. It's a place to take your time, order a bottle of wine and be prepared to have good conversation. Getting to all the different types of meats can take awhile. But we enjoyed tasting differently prepared meats, to include chicken hearts. Can't say that I would do that one again, but the others were really good. Definitely a special night outing.

I recently ate at Espeto Na Brasa and was very disappointed. I have eaten at other Brazilian restaurants and was expecting a similar experience. After we were seated our waitress took our drink orders and we left to eat salad. About 30 minutes later we had to get our own fresh plates to try and eat some of the meat.

We were in the restaurants a total of one and a half hours with our sign on green signifying we would like to be served but all we got was a few wondering waiters with nothing but scraps left on the spit. I ate roughly 4 pieces of minuscule meat in the two hours we were there. When the check came out to $100.00 dollars for a couple of bites of food was when I asked to speak to the manager. Management was unsympathetic and told us that the service we had was usual.

I would highly recommend skipping over Espeto Na Brasa if you are on Granby street unless you want to waste some money on small amounts of average food.
