When I go to RL it's for the Snow Crab Legs. $19.50. For an extra $5.50 you can make it a pound and a half. I was just pointing out that high class restaurants do sell things with .99 in the price. For instance you can add a lobster tail to any mail, including the Admiral's Feast, for $15.99.

If you haven't been to a brazilian steakhouse before I offer one piece of advice: Wear your eatin' pants

Went to one when I was still in Chicago a few years back; I plan on it. :P Plus it's actually amenable to my zero carb diet.

Welp, I'll have the definitive review after this evening. Doesn't sound good so far.

The salad bar (Brazikat brazenly calls it a “gourmet food bar”) is anemic. Puny and relegated to a side wall of the dining room, the alleged 35-item bar was at least 10 items south of that advertised ideal on my visits.

Presented amid imitation crab and unseasoned pasta salad was a sort of asparagus two-ways: bright-green and near-raw or deathly gray and mushy. An urn of French onion soup (mind you, we’re still in a Brazilian restaurant) must have been reducing all morning, its broth so salty and acidic that I couldn’t take more than a spoonful.
The meats are not much more impressive, in selection, presentation or flavor.
