Charlotte Restaurant Week!\n\nThis is pretty much our only mid-twenties-budget week that we can go to places like Chima, and it was a really great experience overall.\n\nFirst--the decor is really nice--definitely a dress-up and go out kind of night.\n\nComplimentary valet parking. I don't know if this is all the time or just restaurant week, but it was a fantastic added touch for being in Uptown Charlotte.\n\nWe made a reservation and were seated promptly at 7:00PM. The $30 rodizio included some meats, but not all. No filet, no ribs. We did get to try the flank, top sirloin, swordfish, pork, chicken, chicken wrapped in bacon, and leg of lamb, and thoroughly enjoyed all. \n\nThe salad bar was good, but we've been to the location in Philly and felt that this one had less options.\n\nMy boyfriend is a big meat eater so clearly he loved the rodizio, which is what we paid for. I think I loved the appetizers even more. Mashed potatoes, some kind of shredded cheese dip, croquettes, and fried banana. All delicious. \n\n$5 Sangria special--yes, please. We got a decent size glass, and it was a good sangria.\n\nThe service was excellent--our waitress kept asking us if there was anything else we wish we had. When the chicken wrapped in bacon hadn't come around, she went and found the goucho for us and had him bring it over. Quality service.\n\nI told my boyfriend I couldn't tell if this was the perfect date spot or the perfect dude spot. Unlimited cuts of meat seems like the perfect bros night, but the atmosphere was date-like. \n\nThis location wasn't as good as the Philly location, but compared to other restaurants in general, this place was excellent.
