I wanted to do something extra special for my Mom’s Birthday. The food was outstanding we really enjoyed everything. The meats were juicy and well seasoned and the baked Macaroni & potato salad was pretty good. It was worth every penny ☺️ I think my servers name was Miliano she was very nice.

Amazing service. The food is always on point. My favorite place to eat in Ocala heck it's where I got married.

This place is absolutely amazing! The people are as good as the food. Roger served us all evening and made sure that anything we desired was brought to us promptly. This place is super clean and very professional. They take precautions to ensure that you are safe and have a great experience! If you arrive early, you will not be disappointed by Denise behind the bar!

We traveled from Lake City to celebrate my husband and I’s anniversary. The meats were excellent all cooked perfectly with a ton of flavor. The hot/salad bar was full of options that were perfect for my young baby. Our server, Alan, was on top of it and so great with my son. He even brought us a cute little anniversary dessert for us. (not pictured as my son got to it before I could)

The food was great, I came for the lamb, it was a bit of a wait but when it came out it was good and HOT. The bacon wrapped chicken was great. The service was fair but nothing special. Our waiter had a big group in the other room, so that may have been why. We each bought a bunch of desserts. None of us were fans of the passion fruit dessert, but hey, it was just different. I bet many would. We came in late, around 8 pm, and stayed till about 10. My family loved it, and I can't wait to go back.

Super service, hot and cold salad bar had many offerings, meats were outstanding.

A beautifully appointed dining experience. Many choices of meats and a huge salad bar. You can have the salad bar alone if you want to. The waiters are very nice and well informed. A very nice dining experience.

Had my first visit to Ipanema and it was a lovely experience. Our server, Roger, was so helpful and answered all our questions. The food was so on point, everything was delicious. My favorite was the cordeiro, but they were all great. Also a big fan of the drinks, our cocktails were delightful.

Always a delicious experience. Slight changes to the hot/cold bar to keep it safe and available. A staff member uses gloves and walks you through plating your requests. Keep up the great work!

Our friends Kenneth and Lisa Bell introduced my wife and I to Ipanema. This is the best place I've ever eaten. No joke beef, pork, shrimp and roasted pineapple. So fresh and flavorful even the drinks roasted pineapple martini. Apple pie martini! 57 years old BEST PLACE EVER!

The experience was amazing. We made a reservation for 11 people at 8p. We arrived on time but was seated about 20-30 minutes later because it was so crowded. Once we sat down our waiter, Jacob, was the absolute best. The food was delicious. No complaints from any member of our party. The purpose of the dinner was actually for a surprise marriage proposal. Our waiter Jacob coordinated a “Will You Marry Me?” dessert plate. Unfortunately, he had to leave early so he explained the ordeal with our new waiter, I believe it was Kevin. Kevin actually made the dessert plate better than what was asked of. Everything went according to plan and she said “Yes” to the marriage proposal!

Amazing experience, amazing ambiance, ask for Kevin; it was our first time she Kevin made it completely awesome. He explained everything, perfect wine service... He was just amazing

4.7- Loved the food and the service! Everything we had was cooked very well and was delicious!

First time here, came for a work function. The meat was delicious. I had the garlic pork, garlic steak, sausage, and bacon wrapped chicken. It was all delicious. Unfortunately, they don’t have lots of options when it comes to meat. The salad bar was plentiful with lots of options. The only I did not like was our waiter who was a bit rude and wasn’t too friendly. They need to brush up on their customer service skills.

Very nice place. The food is good starting with the appetizers and salad bar. The meats are just perfect

Had a very enjoyable dinner given the circumstances of covid. Food was continuous, and served hot.

DINNER WAS DELICIOUS! My fiancé is a chef and he was thoroughly impressed. Our host Allan was so attentive and the food came out so quick! Definitely going back!

Covid friendly. Very clean. Great food with a Brazilian flair

Always great service and atmosphere. Great friendly staff! Multiple meat selections so there is something for everyone. One of my all time favorite places.

The food was wonderful! We did have to wait almost an hour past our reservation time, however the staff were polite about the inconvenience. Will definitely be going back here again! You dont get this style of cuisine anywhere else in Ocala!

Best restaurant in Florida

10/10 highly recommended! The food and atmosphere are absolutely amazing.

My husband took me to celebrate our anniversary and the food was delicious. The manager, Marlon and our server, Stephanie were the best. They made our day extra special.

Wonderful atmosphere and decor, the food was phenomenal!

While this place may seem a bit pricey the food and service are impeccable. You will not leave disappointed nor hungry. The baked pineapple is a must try if you have never experienced it. They not only have beef but lamb and chicken as well. The service is super and you never have to wonder when the next selection is coming as they are extremely attentive. One last point, make sure to call ahead for a reservation. They are always busy.

The food is amazing. Best in town. If you just get their salad bar, you will still get a full course meal. That's around 34.00. It used to be that you felt the need to dress up. Now, it's a lot more casual. They no longer put the bread spiral on every table and it seems like the entire place has one waiter. The last time we went there, we were celebrating my birthday and the restaurant kindly let me choose which dessert I wanted. This time they brought out Flan. It's a pudding and caramel dessert. It was nice of them, but I'm not a fan. It seems like that is their go to for people that come there to celebrate. I'm just saying that if you are charging nearly 50 dollars per person, then the little extras make a big difference.

This Place Was Magnificent ! The Food Was Absolutely fantastic. The Steak was Seasoned and Cooked to Perfection, The Food Was Great. The Restaurant Definitely has a Beautiful Atmosphere, Great for a First Date or a Self Love Self Care Date. Service was 5 Star. 10/10 Highly Recommended you will not be disappointed.

Awesome place, awesome food, I loved all the meats and they way you don’t have to order with a menu and for it to take long to cook, all you do is just say yes or no when they come by. I love how the meats and other foods are on a stick and there is also a buffet with such good foods. Loved it.

We came here for a birthday dinner and wow what a great experience! Our server Milena is absolutely fabulous. Incredibly attentive, courteous, kind, just an absolute pleasure. She is for sure a valuable asset to Ipanema! This is one of the best dinners I’ve had in a while! The food was great, all the servers who came by with meat were personable, kind, professional. I drank water like a fish and they made sure I never ran out! The water didn’t taste like chlorinated tap water which was wonderful too! The atmosphere was cozy and lovely. The cinnamon pineapple is to die for!!

What a fun place to go for a special occasion! Went for my son's birthday and first thing when you are seated, they ask if you are celebrating anything. He doesn't like any fuss, so he said no, but I did notice a few other tables having a dessert brought to them with a candle for other celebrations. Lots of great food for the price. They came around to our table with the house sirloin within 5 minutes, even before getting our drinks, and it was tender with great seasoning. The salad bar had lots of choices (a person in my party stated that it was the best salmon he had ever tasted that he got from the salad bar) and they had a side bar as well that had breads, rice, garlic mashed, Mac and cheese and beef stroganoff. For dessert we got the chocolate Nirvana cake and the flan, both were tasty. Staff was attentive and polite. I recommend making a reservation, when we first walked in the waiting room was full but we were brought right in to our table. When we left, the waiting room was still full of people! Only thing is the parking lot is on the small side, but there is lots of parking on the street behind the restaurant. We will definitely be back at another date to enjoy this place!

I had a wonderful dining experience at your restaurant. The food was outstanding, and the ambiance was perfect. However, what truly stood out was Roger's exceptional service. His attentiveness, recommendations, and warm hospitality made the evening truly special. Roger is a true asset to your team and left a lasting impression. I can't wait to return!

Made reservations for Anniversary, when I called they asked if there was a special occasion so I expected to celebrate with a small desert. Spoke to Marvin and he apologized and made it right. You can tell he really cares about the client and their experience. Thank you Donna

Top notch service! Fabulous food! One of the finest dining experiences I’ve ever had!

Rodger was a great server and our experience here was great. Great service provided!

It was so delicious I had to get the chicken salad and pineapple to go. Expensive but worth the experience of fine dining. Best buffet ever and I don't care for buffets this one is an exception. They serve so many kinds of meat. And they don't rush u out of there expect 2 hrs there.

Fabulous food a great place to take a date . Great atmosphere. The owners and staff are the nicest people. Its well worth a visit. .

Rodger was our server and he was Amazing!! Beautiful restaurant but the experience was made so much more enjoyable thanks to great service

My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary here last night. The food was great! Sooo much meat! Our waiter Jacob was amazing and very attentive. We loved the key lime pie and enjoyed our complimentary ice cream for our celebration. We had been talking about coming here for years and I have no idea why we waited so long

Went for an early Valentines day. The experience was incredible, and the food was delicious. The bottom sirloin was seasoned incredibly well and was so tender. I 100% would go again.

It's a fun concept and I think it's enjoyable for a one-time deal. There's a lot of different kinds of food so you're bound to find something you like but not all of it was great. It was rather expensive and for that price I expect a lot more.

Loved it. I'll probably never do the rodizio again cause I'm not a big meat person but would def go back just for that salad bar. Also their brunch sounds amazing. Staff is very attentive and courteous

It was amazing

Great Food , best steak , in the world

"For meat lovers like my self #1 place to go service food and drinks are the Best" "Small selection on sides they dont give all meats ." "Delicious food only problem is sometimes they serve the food cold :/"

Have gone here every year for our birthday celebration because we have 2 birthdays one day apart this year didn't have the same menu items as last year was a little dissapointed in the meat side they used to have little sausage and chicken legs but not this year and the Martini desert was no flavor so a little bit dissapointed but maybe it was an off night otherwise it's always been one of our favorites..

Yup another just Yum! love this type of eatery! the salad bar is amazing!!!

Amazing Brunch! My first time there and will definitely be going back!

Very well experience with the wife we love everything about this restaurant

(Translated by Google) Incredible restaurant, I missed a carvery so much ... Best way I could celebrate my birthday, I will definitely be back! (Original) Restaurante incrível, estava com tanta saudade de um rodízio...Melhor jeito que pude comemorar meu aniversário, com certeza estarei de volta!

Delicious food Nice atmosphere

Delicious and wonderful service

Horrible service Remember with out customers you have no business. please be courteous, if you are having a bad day STAY AT HOME!

Plenty of food. Would have preferred meat cooked more, still very good.

I love this place.

Always good food and service. Hope to be back for Val day

All the food that is served was seasoned well and the servers were all very pleasant.

Off the hook fantastic

Excellent the service was great the food was perfect

Expensive but so worth it.

Service and food was excellent.

I've been here several times before but this waiter made the night the best experience to date! His name is Dave and simply adorable, besides being super attentive! He made great recommendations and was always available. Cannot wait to return!!

I have eaten here numerous times, never a disappointment. Great staff, great drinks, and of course, fantastic food.
