Rio Brazil Steakhouse - Glen Allen

Wonderful, prompt service. Lots of variety in food, which was all delicious. Friendly people all around!

The food was wonderful, our server was perfect, everything was great. They were very busy, so making a reservation is a must do unless you want to wait forever to get a table.

We’ve been to Rio probably 5 or 6 times now. It’s always really loud, especially for my husband and I trying to enjoy a date night. But the food is outstanding, so we deal with the noise. Last night, again the food was outstanding, however the service was subpar and the manager was offensive. Our reservation was at 6:30 and we walked in about 6:25. Three groups who came in after us were sat before us, including another table of 2, and we ended up not getting sat until about 6:40/6:45. They recognized their blunder and offered us 2 free desserts without us even saying anything. We then sat at the table for almost 5 minutes before the server came over. Both times my husband ordered a beer (just in a bottle) he waited about 10+ minutes. We didn’t receive the bananas until we were almost done with our meal, AND after me asking for them twice from two different people. I also asked for the pineapple twice before it was brought over. I asked for the manager and instead of being apologetic, he was very defensive and wasn’t listening, but rather minimizing everything I said. Rio had become our go-to date night spot when we have a babysitter, but unfortunately this experience was bad enough that we won’t be back any time soon.

Atmosphere is not intimate like the Web photos imply. Large, noisy cafeteria like room.

Meat variety was scarce. They kept coming by with the same thing. Our server was great. Manager came by to see why we weren't eating. This was because the food was scarce. What we had was great, it just didn't come by often or even make a return. Thus was our second time visiting. I dont believe we will be back. For the cost I would rather go to the other place.
