Since Perrama moved to the CBD there has been a void for me in the Greek Restaurant department in the area. No longer, the King of Greek in the Inner West is 3 Olives! Family run, great service and the banquet was first class. I don't think one of the 8 or so dishes was a miss, even the chips (chips may sound low rent but not the way they cooked them). Try and get an outside table and watch the world go by.

The food is a bit oily but that's Greek food for you, nothing compared to the Corinthian. We had 2 Banquets, Bottle of Oyster Bay and 2 Ouzos for $100 and we couldn't finish our food (I'm a very big eater). The service was top of the range, Mother and Daughter working the floor making you feel like friends rather than customers. Well done!

Terrible, terrible, terrible... They thought we we'd purchased from a group buying website and herded us into an area with others from the same. Food took forever, we had kids that we're melting down after an hour when we demanded they bring at least a garlic bread before we walk. My wife kicked up a firestorm around the 90 minute mark and we got lots of "sorry, sorry so your not "insert group buying site name" customer"... Really bad even if you have one of those vouchers don't do it.

We had our Son's christening lunch at Casa Brasil, about 30 guests. They nailed it, every guest left with a smile and raving about the food, which there was a hell of a lot of. Service was excellent and it was great value for money. Family run and it shows, from the booking right through to leaving the tip it had a personal touch.

I read the reviews so was expecting the worst. Pleasantly surprised. I love a Churrasco (been to a hell of a lot of them) this one opened up just down the Road so despite the bad press felt we had to give it a go.

I like the old booth style set up, if they didn't have it, they'd be just like any other place. The decor does need to be brought into sync with its Brazilian creed (not sure what Colonial Australian Loggers Photos have to do with South America) but the bones are good.

The staff are young and mostly not Brazilian or South American, but they are pleasant enough and seem eager to please. There was one young Brazilian Waiter who was very good (they need to send him to stud and start breeding little waiters from him) very attentive and happy disposition.

Most importantly the food was good, the chicken (which tends to be dry when done over the coals) was the best I've had in Sydney. I know, you don't do Churrasco for the Chicken but the Lamb, Beef and Chorizo where all good. Not the best I've had but not bad either.

Is this the best Churrasco in Sydney? No way, but it's bloody good for Beverly Hills. If they bring the decor more onto theme and find a few more South American staff I reckon they'll do just fine. Give it a go.

Terrible! Really, really, really rude staff. Walked out. They do not deserve your business. I was a as pleasant as I could be (really I was smiling and being extra polite) and after a 3rd rude retort from the member of staff, walked.
