⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I always enjoy coming to this restaurant, and one of the main reasons is Yurani. She is incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. She always greets customers with a warm smile and makes everyone feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. Her professionalism, empathy, and efficiency truly stand out. You can tell she genuinely cares about providing excellent service, and it makes every visit even more enjoyable. The restaurant is lucky to have someone like Yurani on their team. She is a big part of why I keep coming back. Thank you, Yurani, for always making every visit such a great experience!
First time at Picanha Churrascaria! The beef soup for an appetizer started the flavor adventure. Typically, you can’t go wrong with the Picanha, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. The pineapple was delicious and a great ending to the meal. Miguel was very professional and patient when I asked questions. Highly recommend!
Yuranni service was great and friendly. Food was 10 of 10 really good and clean.
Our server was Yuranni! Food was great, all our meals were delicious. The service was fast, atmosphere was very nice. The garlic bread was amazing!
We had a wonderful experience. We were given a table with a direct view of the airport, paired with very warm, ambient lighting that created a cozy and intimate atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, the meat was cooked perfectly to our preferred doneness, juicy and full of flavor.
