The SceneBrick, leather, big tables and soaring ceilings establish the steakhouse mood. A convivial, executive clientele rubs shoulders with a younger, downtown crowd of protein aficionados. The structured, systematized service--which includes ferrying skewers of meat around--is friendly but highly susceptible to glitches.The FoodA flat charge buys two all-you-can-eat courses: First, unlimited access to the salad bar and buffet, then a continuous flow of skewered meats. The buffet runs a fish-centric gamut from savory casseroles and coconut-milk stews to toughish scallops and decent sushi. And then the deluge: 15 or so different kinds of meat, all sliced at the table. The rodizio grill yields primarily well-done meats, so filet mignon, pork loin and ribs can be dry, underscored by the kitchen's heavy hand with salt, but crusty flank steaks and sirloins and juicy little sausages drip with flavor. Eat your fill of meat and skip the dessert cart.
