Really enjoyed the beautiful tapas lunch, delicious food (especially the prawns and sausages), nicely prepared, friendly service and great alfresco location with water views. Will be back for more:)

I would recommend Bar brazilia, I booked for 22 people mid week, it was a great evening , food was plentiful and am going again this evening, looking forward to it. The service was good and the staff helpful. The manager Sef went out of his way to ensure all had a good time.

Would not recommend this place to anyone - waste of time and money.
Service is horrible if not awful.
Time of start is 8 pm, food was starting to serve 40 minutes later after reminding waiters for 5 times (only extremely average side dishes) and tiny serves (salad is made of only leaves and vinegar with oil).

Service is horrible if not awful.
Time of start is 8 pm, food was starting to serve 40 minutes later after reminding waiters for 5 times (only extremely average side dishes) and tiny serves (salad is made of only leaves and vinegar with oil).
Meat started to arrive more than an hour later when so called Brazilian show already started. Meat was served as small pieces given to you on your request only. Waiters were trying to give you cheap meat first (sausages) before starting to bring lamb and beef 1.5 to 2 hours later.
Chicken drumsticks arrived raw and waiter had to take them back to re-cook.
Seafood (small prawns and small pieces of salmon) + salty cheese (the smallest piece I saw in my life) was only given 1 peace per person.
Or did I mentioned cocktails arrived exactly and hour later after ordering.
Jug of soft drinks were tiny and they manage to fill them full with ice before adding soft drink inside. So jug was only enough for 3 glasses before running out.

Pineapple was served toward the very end and waiter brought only 2 pineapples for the entire restaurant floor, if you don't get it - tough luck as they do not make any more.
Moreover table behind our table was constantly missing on all food as waiter simply did not go there. They only started serving after being screamed at.
If I can give minus 100 rating I would.
There are much better places than this.
Our whole party was ruined and we feel very embarrassed in front of our guests.
We receive a complete opposite service of what has been promised by restaurant manager Sef when making booking – Everything he said was a lie (from so called unlimited food, taking about 1 prawn per person; to sitting arrangement – promised to sit us next to window, on arrival table was next to bathrooms and staff was ignorant to re-arrange table).   Collapse

I would definately recommend dining at Bar Brazilia if you are looking for fun and flavour and plenty of happy friendly waiters (Thanks Hugo & Rafael). We will definately be back for more, I especially love the lamb and beef and could easily eat a whole cinnamon pineapple and must try the Caipirinha cocktail absolutily delisious.

The best Churrascaria with out a doubt.

The meat is always consistently tender and well seasoned, we love the Picanha beef rump cap, lamb with and the haloumi fresh off the bbq is to die for! It's all great really.

Don't miss the pineapple at the end it will help you digest the huge amount of meat you have just consumed. We tend to go during the week when it is marginally quieter than Friday or Saturday nights as the service seems a little better. Often on Fri/Sat night as it is so packed the service tends to slip a little as the wait staff are simply run off their feet.   Collapse

What a perfect dining experience. You feel very welcome from the time you walk in. Most Churrascaria venues are always fantastic, the difference with this one is a bit more personal and relaxed and less rushed and hurried giving you time to really enjoy the food at a slightly slower pace. Nice and just when you think you cant fit another thing in along comes the owner to suggest the perfect...    Read moreWhat a perfect dining experience.

Great atmosphere, food tasted so good and the Brazilian Dancers to hot.   Collapse

To say that this place has bad service is a gross understatement. I am a born and bred sydney-sider so I am already used to pretty bad service but this takes the cake. The biggest problem is the 'manager', totally useless and just stays in the back surfing the internet. Apart from one red-headed waitress, the rest of the staff were ok, they're just struggling under an obviously useless boss.

We had to ask multiple times to get our food, and our wine didn't even come until the end of the meal! To add insult to injury, their chicken was severly undercooked.

There are plenty of Brasilian Churrasco restaurants in Sydney, avoid this one!   Collapse

The food took Approx 45 minutes to start coming out which were the starters, we then had to wait for another 40 minutes for the meat to arrive which was burnt and some even tasteless, in the 3 hours we were there we only got 3 types of meat the whole night, were was the seafood they so highly rave about. I even felt sorry for the table next to us as the waiters kept on missing them. For a great Brazilian food experience go and try Chirrios at Darlinghust, BEST FOOD AND THE STAFF. not like Brighton. What a waste of time and money   Collapse

I would have liked to review this restaurant properly but, unfortunately, I didn't make it through the door.

I would have liked to review this restaurant properly but, unfortunately, I didn't make it through the door. After making a reservation two weeks ago for a Mother's day dinner with my family, I rang on Sunday at 2.30 pm to confirm the booking. I was told my reservation had been cancelled, when I informed them that I hadn't cancelled the reservation they placed me on hold. After 15 minutes of waiting I hung up and called back, it went through voicemail. I asked for them to call me back as soon as possible.

At 3.30 pm after once again not hearing from them I called and managed to speak to someone who told me they were busy and would call me back in 5 minutes, they didn't. I made my last call at 5.30 pm to try and confirm my booking but it went through to their voicemail again.

I understand that sometimes mistakes are made and I was not rude at all on the phone, all I wanted was an answer. The way I was pushed aside and ignored was just so unprofessional and I can say that I will never eat at this restaurant. It's a shame because I have enjoyed eating at other Brasilian restaurants and would have loved to try this one as it's local to me. I have placed this very same review on another site and the managements response was that I lied and I was a competitor, I can assure you I am not. I am just a very unhappy non-customer.

I can only imagine that if their phone service was this bad that their in house service wouldn't have been any better!   Collapse

Cheers to the staff at Bar Brazilia for a great feed and friendly service.   Collapse
