The full rodizio dining experience begins with a plate of tasty Brazilian cheese bread, followed by a flip of your token to the green "Go" side, to signal the Gauchos to descend to your table with a wide variety of hot meat hand-carved beef, pork, chicken, turkey and lamb, sliced to your preference. Ready for a pause, flip your token back to the black "Stop" side, loosen your belt, take a deep breath, until you are ready to resume the main course, or proceed to order desserts.
