Terrible host – I don't plan to recommend this restaurant to anyone, ever. On a Saturday evening at about 7:30 our group of five walked in. Understanding that this is a busy restaurant I told the hostess how many were in our party. Shejust stared at me. Clearly, by the numbers of people waiting, there was a wait. I had to ask her how long she estimated a wait would be. She and the front-end manager discussed the issue (and for some reason it was an issue) and came up with an estimated time of 20 to 30 minutes. No problem, I ... read more

Unique dining experience but no amazing flavors – I had lunch at Ipanema about a month ago, and although the carnivore in me loves the restaurant's concept, I honestly wasn't that impressed with the food. Dining at Iapnema involves visits from pasadores, sullen but attractive Latin gents roaming the restaurant with enormous quantities of roasted meat on spears. No, I'm not kidding. The meat choices are quite varied, but I didn't find any of them to be particularly tender or memorable. There was a decent beef steak encrusted ... read more

Great food, great service! – I had read many of the reviews prior to going to Ipanema, some not stellar on their service, so I had no expectations on how my experience would. My husband is from Brazil and I had lived there for a while so we wanted to try this restaurant and see if it's possible to get great Brazilian BBQ outside of Brazil. We were pleasantly suprised as the food was fantastic! The meats are perfectly grilled and the pave (a dessert with ladyfingers and passion fruit) is fantastic. The signature drink, capiri... read more

The Worst – I've just had the WORST dining experience of my life !!! If they don't like people coming 10 minutes before their closing hour, tell us in the beginning and we would be happy to go to another restaurant. The manager was rude and a despicable woman who should not be allowed to speak to other's until his attitude problem is taken care of. If this restaurant is sooo concerned with making money and profits well they're going about it the wrong way.? I don't! What is worst of all, this poor excuse for a manager upset ... read more

Wonderful Night!! – Out experience at Ipanema was great! We walked in and we were greeted by a very bubbly hostess who seated us promptly next to the window! Our waitress came over immediately with a smile and explained how the dinner worked and made a great suggestion on a drink called cap-a-something it?s the national drink of Brazil if you eat there you must try it! There was a huge variety of salads to choose from as well as all you can eat meat! We will be back! Thank you Ipanema for a great night!

Poor Service...Food just OK – Though this restaurant has fairly average food, the service is horrific. Servers are disinterested in clients, and most of all, manager is an unpleasant character. Honestly speaking there are so many good restaurants with top service in Seattle, so why do we need some place with mediocre food as well as service with an attitude, esp from the manager?? Get rid of her!

Poor management = no further visits by this diner! – Definitely not "Customer is Always Right" restaurant management: When you have read 1 review of a restaurant in which the chief complaint concerns the management, you consider that perhaps a single customer had a bad experience. When you read two reviews concerning the same theme, you maybe think hmmm....when you read several reviews on that same topic and then experience it first hand, you are probably best off avoiding the place to begin with, and that can be my only rec... read more

Have a big party, don't even bother! – One word that best describes this place - disorganized. The food was average, but the service was just poor! Our waitress had no real sense of urgency to address our needs. When it came time to pay our bill, we were charged for 2 additional people, that had already paid. After getting nowhere with the waitress, we dealt with the manager, who was really not willing to even investigate the problem. When we gave her a description of the person that took the money, she claimed that the pers... read more

This Brazilian offering is to die for! – This place is a meat-lover's paradise. The buffet offers some excellent cuts of various meats prepared in different styles that are succulent and delicious. The "salad" bar has a lot of great fruits, vegetables, and salads that are also excellent. The fried plantains are so addictive (and fortunately, they'll keep bringing you more!) and the other sides are good as well. They've got some great specialty drinks that are definitely worth a try. The staff seems very friendly and we had a... read more
