Fogo de Chao

I went to Fogo de Chao, http://www.fogodechao.com/, on Wed. 8/12/2009. I went with the company on July 7/1/2009.

It's a all you can eat Brazillian steak place. The food was really good. My favorite were the house special and garlic beef. Their lemonade was also great. The service was excellent. They also have a great salad bar. However this is not the place that I would like to come back. Because I'm not a big meat eater and it's expensive. Lunch costs about $40/pp (with drink, tax and tip).

But it's a great experience to have. I definitely recommend this place for anyone to try.

There is another Brazillian place like this in Austin, Estancia Churrascaria. But the meat was not well marinated as Fogo de Chao.

Carmelo's

Food was expensive but not good. Will not return there.

We ordered:
- escargot
- gamberi ripieni
- swordfish al pomodoro
- Italian mixed grill
- tiramisu
- cheese cake

None of them was good.

Tino Greek Cafe

I went to lunch at Tino Greek Cafe on 8/6/2009. I ordered the gyro. It was OK. It's OK to come back but it's not something that I really like. I need to charge the battery and remember to bring the camera with me.

Casa Columbia

I went to eat at Casa Columbia restaurant today for lunch. The food was very good, but the service was not that great. But overall, everything was decent. I would come back here again.

I love their shredded beef dish and fried rice dish. The flan was OK but I will not eat again. Their plantain was very good. Two pieces came with any dish. Maybe I should order more next visit.
