Bertolucci Brazilian Steakhouse

I han an amazing dinner, the customer service was so great. I enjoyed spending a wonderful night with friends, I will definitely be going back to eat again. I love Brazilian food, my 1^st time but not my last…

First of all and most importantly, the meat is great and it comes often and plentiful and you will get full fast. That being said, I have no idea why these guys did the groupon, they don’t want to do groupons. This is a little more expensive, but there is some great value as well, just don’t buy a soda ;)

So I don’t usually complain but this place is «unbelievable». My brother invited me out for a groupon adventure which usually ends up fun… not this time… talk about a joke. Lol
Should have known as soon as we walked in and seen the sign up front stating they won’t honor groupon unless you tell them before you’re sat… hmm I wonder why!!! Oh I see… guess you get treated like a red headed stepchild. And to top it off they mysteriously run out of desert for the grouponers but not the other customers. (Groupon states desert included)…
Salad bar was a joke… servers had no personality… 1 can of soda is $ 3… 18% gratuity for groups of 4 or more (since when are 4 people a large group?)… meat selection was sad… on the bright side the grilled pineapple was good… lol
Word of advice save your money and don’t go to this little hole in the wall… you can go to costco spend $ 80 and get $ 100 worth of gift cards to go to Texas de brazil (a real brizilian steakhouse).

This is our first time here. We will definitely come again. It was great!!! The salad bar is great.

Can I just start by saying «Holy Meat!!!» Lol. If you want some great cooked varieties of meat for dinner with sides of pasta, salads, mashed potatoes and more then come to this place! I wished I took pictures but I was too busy looking at the different variations of meat that kept coming to my table. Everything was cooked perfect and the service was very friendly. It’s a little pricey so this might be a place to come to on special occasions. I will definitely be back

We love this restaurant!
Service is excellent, the owners are friendly, accommodating and anxious to please!
Food is good… have to go easy on the salad bar so there’s room for all the delicious meats!
A very cozy locals place that’s great value as well!

Feel free to disregard the negative reviews for this place. The food was on par with any Brazilian Steakhouse in town. The hot buffet section was excellent. The atmosphere was enjoyable. The servers were outstanding, my water glass never got lower than half. The Nutella cheesecake was served warm and practically orgasmic. The garlic bread was amazing and served in a large portion. This will be our new go to for Brazilian cuisine.

I’m totally shocked by all the negative reviews. This place was delicious! We had a 6:30 reservation but got there early at 5:45 and they seated us anyway. The service was excellent. My water was always refilled! We used the groupon, which was a great deal as it covered wine, dinner and flan for dessert. We even ordered extra dessert (chocolate mousse cake and the Nutella cheesecake) both were absolutely amazing. The meat was delicious and cooked to perfection. My favorite part was their garlic bread. Served in huge portions on skewers and it was amazing.
I am honestly surprised that people had a negative experience as ours was so wonderful. I would tell anyone to give it a shot, and I know my husband and I will be returning.

Save your money and don’t go here. My boyfriend and I made a (mandatory) reservation at 6 o’clock and got there a little early. The doors were locked and the lobby lights were dark. We were greeted and sat at 6. Apparently they don’t open at 5 like the website says. The soups at the buffet looked old as if they were microwaved from the night before and the salad didn’t look very fresh either. Steaks came out fast but everything was over cooed and burnt, even when asked how we liked our Steaks cooked. The last meat to come was the filet which was hands down the best but when we asked for more I saw the owner yelling at the meat guy after giving us 3 additional pieces.
We did purchase a Groupon and it advertised dessert for 2. When we were finished with our meal we were expecting to have the dessert suggested to us but instead we received a bill for our soda. I asked about the dessert and she said it was the fruit at the buffet. And when I looked at the bill we were charged $ 12 for 2 12 ounce cans of sprite. Keep in mind we asked for iced tea and she said it was no good. What?! So I’m being charged an insane amount for something I really didn’t even want. It was safer than drinking the water that tasted like it was straight from Lake mead.
I’m an advocate for family owned and operated restaurants but I also work hard for my money and would have been more satisfied and treated better at Texas de brazil (which is 5 miles down the road).
I read reviews on Unilocal all the time and when I read the previous ones from this particular restaurant I didn’t expect it to be as horrible as read but no one is exaggerating when it comes to this steak house.

This place is a joke! Not enough employees to serve at dinner time!! the groupon makes you think it’s quite the deal. It really isn’t. If you want to try a real Brazilian buffet, and you’re in Ceur d Alene Idaho. The grill from imponima is ten times the restaurant this is. I would have rather eaten at McDonald’s! Burned bread, over cooked meat. It took me 10 minutes to even get my first round of meat. We waited 30 minutes to get our water refilled. Also the 18% gratuity for a party of four is ridiculous! The only person who was working was the guy cutting meat. He was very pleasant! Should have read the reviews before spending 118.00 on groupon.

We went to Bertolucci’s 2÷13÷2016 with a Living Social deal we received as a gift. We were seated promptly when we arrived at our reservation time. The restaurant was nothing fancy but was pleasant. The employees were also pleasant.
We both enjoyed the salad bar. For a small salad bar, they had a good variety of fresh items. Everything we tried was delicious.
The hot meal bar was less than stellar. The chicken stroganoff and the chicken cacciatore were awful, as were the mashed potatoes. The fried bananas were delicious though. Everything else looked about as appetizing as the chicken entrees, so we didn’t try anything else.
The meats were seasoned well and were cooked just right, but everything we ate was chewy. I know people who go to other Brazilian steakhouses and gush about how the meat melts in your mouth, but not this place. Not a tender piece of beef in the place. The pork rib, however, was good as were the sausages, but I wouldn’t go back because of the tough beef.
We also were charged taxes and a gratuity, but we paid the taxes and left what we felt was appropriate for the gratuity.
I would never go back there.

We used a groupon and I regret it. This place is a disgrace! We came for dinner at 7 and everything was gone. Our waitress assured us they would refill the potatoes, rice, etc but it never happened. The meat was either too salty or too over cooked to even eat. We had a party of 4 and were hit with a gratuity charge which ended up not saving us any money with the groupon we purchased. This place is terrible! Save your time and money! Oh, thanks for the free bottle of barefoot wine which by the way, costs $ 5 from the grocery store! What a joke!

This is based on the «groupon deal»
DO NOT purchase the Groupon. This is completely false advertising. I purchased the 4 people option. The food is decent and ect. But I do not like being lured to a place for the wrong reasons. Basically you think you are getting this wonderful deal but at the end of your dinner you are hit with taxes and gratitude for party’s of 4. Oh yeah how convenient right, have you heard of any restaurant of gratitude for 4 people? I have never. And maybe there are some out there maybe for HIGH END restaurants.
So the «gratitude ect.» comes out to be around $ 40. When we ask for the menu and prices. First there is no written menu so they can change their price whenever they feel like it. Secondly do you know how much is it to go there regularly without a coupon per person? It is around $ 43, now multiple this by 4 it equals $ 172 now minus $ 132 (Groupon deal) and add the $ 40 of «gratitude» = $ 172. Does not take a genius.
This Groupon should say free wine and dessert and NOT say you are getting half off of the food. Such a lie!
If you go just go without the coupon, but from what I read and seen this place is just a trap for groupons. No wonder they are so strict on reservations they know they need to have plenty of room for the poor Groupon people.
More on the food, there is not much variety on meats, some taste dry. The salad bar is basic you probably get better salad from hometown buffet. The only good thing was the free «wine» which according to the waitress it costs $ 22 I looked online it was about $ 5. So done.

My wife and I tried this place out because we found their deal on Groupon and we were not disappointed! The owners were amazing and were checking up on us throughout the meal. The food was just what you would expect from a high-​end Brazilian Steakhouse, they had so many different meats going around that it seemed like we tasted everything once and were almost too full to get seconds on out favorites!
The owners really facilitate a family-​style atmosphere and that has my wife and I wanting to get back there soon. (We brought our one-​year-​old and she had a blast as well.)

Despite of of the bad reviews, I actually enjoyed dinner here. We’ve been to Pampas three times in the past month, so we seriously needed somewhere different but with the same concept. We looked on Groupon and purchased the Dinner for Two deal for 69. We felt great because we usually pay 89 to go to Pampas.
We drove about 20 minutes to get to the restaurant and when we pulled up, we felt horrible. I was expecting a larger, more fancy establishment. Furthermore, we thought the place was closed because there were maybe 5 cars in the lot and the lights were really dimmed. Nevertheless, we walked up to check the doors (to make sure they were unlocked) and we could see 2 couples as we approached.
We went in and there was no one at the front counter. I quickly noticed a sign framed on the counter. Upon reading it, we learned that with the Groupon we purchased, just minutes before pulling up, we needed to make a reservation. I’ve notice that requirement in the fine print of other places but once we get there, they let us in anyways. I had a weird feeling because this place was way smaller. I knew then that we had a problem. A woman walked over after about 1 minute and I told her that we had a Groupon and we just read the sign. She said that we did need a reservation but it’s ok for tonight. So she seated us promptly.
When we sat at the table and looked around we felt devastated. The place was nothing like we imagined. It was clean, but the place was dark and the salad bar was very small. We said the hell with it and grabbed a few plates.
The sides were remarkably good. Everything we tasted was seasoned to perfection. I loved the beef and potatoes and I ate more if it than anything else. In addition, my friend had white rice, the the fish in tomato sauce and chicken in tomato sauce (The dishes have names, of course, but I can’t remember them). She made love to all of it lol.
Before I had the beef and potatoes dish, I actually had a salad. There was nothing special about the salad. I wish they had a better cheese selection. I only saw one kind and I believe it was a mozzarella cheese. I don’t care for mozzarella so I didn’t eat it.
So the first thing the server brought out was garlic bread and it was delicious. I can’t ever make bread that damn good. After that, the meats started to fly in. Most were medium, although I had told him that We like Medium Well. To me, they were all pretty good. My friend liked the flavor of the meat, but the blood was too much for her. She said that she felt like she had a loose tooth lol.
The server was really cool. He wanted to make sure we like everything. He knocked over my friend’s wine, it wasted all of her lol. She wasn’t even mad because he was such a nice guy. It took a couple minutes for the woman to bring out another one but that was cool because we were occupied with good food.
The atmosphere was totally date night. They had soft rock playing in the background and it wasn’t a turn off. The lights were really dim and the other guest were really quiet. I think they have live performances on some nights, because I seen some music instruments in the corner. Totally awesome!
After about an hour, the other two couples had finished eating and one couple left and the other couple was just drinking alcohol. Either way, the server was just focused on us. He flooded us with all kinds of meats for about 10 minutes. We loved it.
After that we were stuffed and I think he knew it. He asked us if we had any special request. We were like NO Lol, we just want the check. The check out was fast and we were out before we knew it. Upon leaving, the server and the woman was like byeeeeeee, thanks for coming, we enjoyed you, see you next time, come back lol… We felt like we were at home and they were family.
We would definitely go back! Maybe even tonight!

Yikes. I feel bad because they must be struggling, but that does not excuse poorly cooked food, an awful salad and side bar and gross goop on their tables to ruin shirts while you’re eating. leading you to peel off your shirt while trying to keep your appetite. Instead we voluntarily stopped eating despite not being full and left. The owner said, «don’t worry, if you wash it it will come off your shirt okay?»…sure. But the guy slicing the meat for us was very nice.

Reservations for 6:30pm. Owner left closed sign on door saying closed for work function. Reservations were made only a week prior. No calls, no communication. Owner said call Groupon. $ 30 taxi from the strip to be stuck without dinner before 11pm flight departure out of Las Vegas. Thanks Bertolucci. Classy

Found this place very disappointed, was expecting the food to be more delicious and worth the money but some meats turned out to be under cooked (raw)and some others over cooked with no flavor such a waste of $ 75.00 for 2. As soon as I walked in their was nobody to greet us at the entrance finally when the waiter sat us down they took over 30 minutes before bringing the steaks out even though the restaurant only had 3 other customers. Salad bar was not good at all and when I asked for the bill they took another 15 mins by that time we were the only customers. I will never returned. Waste of time and gas

My boyfriend had a
certificate so despite the Unilocal reviews, we decided to go and see for ourselves. Overall, it was a great dining experience. The only thing is that it is a bit spendy for being very out of the way. It’s not fancy like the other Brazilian places, yet the cost per person was about $ 45.
Anyway, the restaurant itself is cute and small. They have a karaōke machine playing low, but it’s a good background music as it goes with the theme of the restaurant. The servers took turns singing later and it was awesome! We laughed and clapped and cheered them on. The restaurant wasn’t very busy and their singing somehow added some pizazz to the ambiance.
The servers are dressed in cowboy gear, which is a little confusing, but whatever, they were awesome. Our servers were all so nice and we never had to wait for anything. We were greeted by the owner, who asked if we had a reservation. At first, it seemed they wouldn’t have room for us, even though it was quite empty, but then she came back and graciously seated us. The salad bar is small, but the frejoida is yum. I LOVE that stuff. The salad bar is set up super neat and organized and everything seems extremely fresh.
The meats started coming and it rarely stopped. They don’t have the red/​green system, so you just say no or yes to each item. We said yes to all the meats. The only thing that was disappointing was the bacon wrapped pork, which was greatly overcooked and tasted like cardboard, but everything else was delicious. ALL of the beef served was SO good. I also really love that they don’t over salt their meat, like other Brazilian steakhouses, so you can add your own salt to your liking. My favorites were the garlic sirloin, picanha, bacon wrapped chicken and sausage.
If we had a coupon, we might return, but it’s quite a hike unless you live in the Henderson area. I agree that the responses on the Unilocal reviews are unprofessional, but if you meet the owner you’ll realize she is just a passionate person with a fiery personality, defending her small restaurant. Anyway, we really enjoyed our dining experience and I’d recommend people try it despite the reviews. Also, it’s really ridiculous to review a restaurant you’ve never been to!!! Your ill-​informed opinion is affecting the livelihood of a hardworking family. If it’s not a first-​hand experience, you should feel ashamed trying to persuade the public to avoid an establishment.

I’m giving this place 5 stars. The Boyfriend & I decided to randomly try a new place (his idea) and I know he loves Brazilian steakhouses… So I steered us toward this place. At first we weren’t sure what to think. The place looks empty when you walk in, but actually almost every table had people. It took a little bit to get a table, but obviously they were busy. She sat us at a booth, which was perfect for us. The salad bar is significantly smaller than other Brazilian steakhouses but the Stroganoff is out of this world. Best I’ve ever had! The Boyfriend really liked the grape leaf wrapped something or other. I didn’t try them so I have no idea.
They started bringing out the meat & one of the guys really stood out. So much personality. Later we realized he was the owner.
The Boyfriend really liked one of the chicken skewers, but obviously the red meats were the standouts. No one gave us tongs, so it was a little weird getting the meat from the server, but they worked it out.
The meat selection is similar to other Brazilian steakhouses, but I do think they could do with some sharper knives. Meat quality is good, not great but definitely good.
This place is definitely a family owned restaurant with the good & bad qualities that go into that. For me personally, eating out is about the experience just as much as food quality and this place goes out of their way to give good experience. Towards the end of the night the owner was singing karaōke and encouraging everyone to get up and sing. Normally that’s not really my thing, but something about all the positive energy really made it a lot of fun. When we left everyone was having fun drinking and dancing around. It was a lot of fun.
