They charged us 22% service charge!. I had dinner and lunch a few times at this restaurant, because I'm brazilian as most of my friends and sometimes we want to eat brazilian food, even if mediocre. But the waitresses always gave me attitude, like "if you want to eat here it has to be fast because we close at 9:30pm"! Once, we were there in a group of fourteen or so, for my friend's birthday. The drinks took forever, the food was bellow average (but that was no surprise) and when the bill came, they were charging us 22% tip! they tried to come up with excuses like it was what they charge for big parties, but we did not find that written on the menu or anywhere. They probably think big parties drink too much and don't check their bill.

skip it. I've been wondering how this restaurant has stayed in business so long. Now I know. Their menu, while it sounds impressive, in reality is like a fast food version of what passes for Brazilian fare. Each overpriced dinner entree comes with the same bland side dishes and the "main" course is small, cheap, badly prepared cuts of meat or seafood. The service is poor and the "floor show" is sad. In this city of restaurants, there are many better choices.

Bad, Bad, Bad. Caiphirinas: weak, tasteless, tiny.. but lots of ice cubes. Feijoada: hardly any meat, lots of beans....not a true dish by any means. The rave reviews reflect inexperience with authentic Brazilian food, or just plain inexperience. Avoid this place at all costs.

Best Dinner Experience in San Francisco. I went to dinner at Canto do Brazil after watching their review on KQED Check Please Bay Area, and I was very impressed. My boyfriend and I had a great dinner and we ordered everything that we saw on the TV show and is was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!! I've gone back to the restaurant about 4 more times taking other friends. You must try this place.

Beware.....overcharging..... We went their for dinner last night and unfortunately did not realiza that they had overcharged us until we reached back home. Just like the last reviewer, they added on the tip under the beverage category. Our friend who reviewed the bill did not notice this and so we added on another tip....in essence we paid them a 40% tip. The food was ok but not that great.
