Went to Texas de Brazil for the first time in over 15 years - 4/10 rating

We were not very impressed. The food was good but not great and there is zero relaxing conversation there. We had reservations for 6:15 and weren’t seated until 7:15 but it’s Valentines weekend so that was forgivable but the servers came to our table to bombard us with options even while our card was flipped to red the entire time which prevented us from being able to talk peacefully. They sat us near where people were waiting to be seated so hungry people watched us as we ate, which was awkward. The tables were also really close to each other as well so you better talk very low otherwise everyone around you will hear your conversation. I don’t know why they give you the cards if the servers don’t pay attention to them. We even pointed out that our cards were red after the second time they came to us on red but that didn’t stop them.

The salad bar is pretty good and everything was very fresh but the entire experience gave me cruise vibes - good food and a glutenous atmosphere.

I had forgotten why we hadn’t been there in so long and though I don’t regret going because we did eat pretty well, the atmosphere was not something we enjoyed. Are we just being picky and hard to please or is this a common experience at this restaurant?
