"I did find the first cut of lamb I tried to be slightly overcooked, but the second portion was absolutely perfect. They also offered chicken hearts, which I didn’t particularly care for, but I know many people enjoy them. I highly recommend the house special and the bacon-wrapped beef, but honestly, you can't really go wrong with any choice.
A little tip: since the meat is incredibly fresh and thinly sliced, be mindful of how much you put on your plate at once. While everything is delicious, if you pile on too much meat, it cools down quickly, which can diminish the taste and freshness. Instead, go for smaller portions, eat quickly, and go back for more!
I also loved the salad bar and hot sides; they were fresh and flavorful, perfectly complementing the meat. Be sure to try the sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, topped greens, and the homemade potatoes. The basket of cheese bread was delightful, and I enjoyed a fabulous glass of Malbec for just $9—definitely one of the best wines I've had from any restaurant. My fiancée opted for the Brazilian lemonade, which was also delicious!
The service was exceptional—warm and attentive. The manager made rounds to check on guests, the bus staff was constantly clearing tables, my water glass was never empty, and the entire place was pristine. Our hostess and waitstaff were charming and accommodating. They even surprised my fiancée with a complimentary piece of flan for his birthday, which was among the best flan I’ve ever had.
Dinner prices average around $50 per person, with lunch being a bit cheaper. Given the quality and all-you-can-eat aspect, I definitely think it's worth it, especially for special occasions. Depending on your drink choices, you might anticipate a total bill of about $130-$140 for two people, plus tip. Compared to other steakhouses, whether Brazilian or not, this is a great deal!
I can't recommend Agora highly enough. While we may not visit regularly, it has definitely become our new go-to spot for a special date night!"
