The word on Estância Brazilian Steakhouse
Here's the word going around
I haven't dressed up for this churrascaria yet, so this is the diners' read, not mine.

By most accounts Estancia is the special-occasion churrascaria and knows exactly what it is: greeted at the table, given the how-this-works speech, and then skewers and trays that don't quit. Reviewers call the salad bar fresh and honest, the cocktails spot on, and the tableside-carved meat the whole reason you dress a notch up and show up hungry. Birthday tables report the staff making the night feel like theirs.
One honest note from the brunch crowd: at $42 a head the salad bar delivered but the hot food bar ran thin on options. The meats are the move, not the steam table. Service is the secret weapon, reviewers say, and landing Delia is the good draw.
Endless tableside meat for a special night? I'll find an occasion, or invent one.
The Order
Reviewers say come for the tableside meats and graze the salad bar, and skip filling up on the hot bar at brunch.
⚠ Gotcha
Brunch runs about $42 per person before drinks and the hot food bar is limited, by several accounts. Make a reservation for special occasions.
That's the word on this one.
