Came for lunch to celebrate daughter and daughter in laws birthdays, there was 6 of us and a toddler we had the Rodizio lunch, each of us was asked how we like the steak cooked and we all got what we asked for. Service awesome and very friendly staff who could not do enough for us. Food was just awesome if you not been here you need to as you will not be disappointed. Well recommended and thank you for an amazing experience.

We been to Rodizio at the O2 in London last year, and had a fantastic experience of fresh hot meat brought to the table. It was great to see something similar in Plymouth. This place has the tastiest, most tender meat I can remember, all served by Nuno, who was a joy to talk to and talented chef. Terrific and recommended.

We just had a really great family night here. The idea is simple but brilliantly executed. We had the Rodizio menu. Basically skewers of delicious (some marinated) cuts of grilled chicken, beef, lamb and ham - cut and served table side. You are offered as much or as little as you want. There is also a wide selection of help yourself cold and hot buffet. I would definitely recommend for a larger party where you can pay a flat rate per head (discounted for children - ours ate as much as us), and you can eat as much (or as little) as you want. The staff were warm, friendly and incredibly efficient. The owners have clearly worked hard to create a really welcoming and lovely experience. I believe they are moving to the Barbican in the near future, and I hope they do well because they really deserve it!

Food was brilliant and filling, buffet of salad, sauces, rice etc was available whilst we waited for the first cut of meat, and after that it was a speedy service lots and lots of choices and surprises! Asked for extra sausages and they provided. Was a party members birthday and accommodated brilliantly singing and in high spirits. The servers and chef were brilliant not only to us but tables around creating a personal and catered experience. Will definitely be coming back!

What an amazing venue!?! Surprising quiet considering the quality of the food and phenomenal service. An absolute hidden gem!! We were there to celebrate a 40th birthday (the 2nd birthday meal out this month) and boy was I glad that this was the venue chosen!! We opted for the “All u can eat” menu option. There was a self service buffet for sides and sauces, then the serving staff continue to bring a selection of grilled and roasted meat on sticks to your table, carving it onto your plate until you ask them to stop. As the designated driver I couldn’t drink, but my friends enjoyed Pina Coladas at 2 for £18, I tried a sip, and “Bellisimo!!” This dining experience was a world apart from our last meal out in Plymouth (Barbican Steak house, please see my previous review😔). Despite the meat being roasted on a spit, they were able to serve us meat cooked to specification (rare/medium etc) The roasted pineapple was as tasty as I’ve had in other Brazilian establishments. However in those, they serve it throughout the main as a bit of a palate cleanser, which I preferred than just at the end. The staff were incredibly accommodating, even letting us bring our own cake and serving it with candles whilst singing happy birthday! Phenomenal team and mouth watering food!! I can’t wait to visit again soon🩷

Was a little dubious, as the reviews were mixed, but I can’t praise it enough.

Visited this restaurant tonight, nothing worse to describe than awful! The meat quality was cheap cuts of meat, no seasoning/marination at all just over cooked meat slapped with mint - chilli beef with no chilli at all. The drinks were flat and bland, the beer on draught was not very nice at all, pint of Lemonade was flat no bubbles and tasteless. Atmosphere for a Saturday night was boring. The restaurant itself needs a full refit as it’s dirty/dingy. £90 wasted for just over an hour for 2 people. Our stomachs are not very good, I think it’s going to be a rough night.

We visited Plymouth and looking at teh review decided to get lunch here - we had had no breakfast so we were hungry and arrived at 11.58 - 2 minutes early. This was no problem and we were met by a delightful, smiley lady who quickly found us a table - it was an amazing little cubby hole with pink lights above. Despite being early we were quickly given drinks and invited to go to the buffet - I have eaten Brazillian a few times before and maybe there wasn't the range one might find at a chain but all this was homemade and fresh - the real stars mashed sweet potato, black beans and the Chimichurri which was consumed in large amounts by our table. What followed next were 6 delicious meats and roasted pineapple (!), everything was great with the steak and minted lamb being our favourites, it was hot, plentiful and served with a smile. All the while lovely warm bread and delicious chips were added to our already burgeoning plates! Whilst there we got talking to the owner 'Bruno' what a great chap, we could sense his passion and enthusiasm and it really added to our experience My only complaint - you need to move to Exeter so we can come more often! Thank you we all really enjoyed it.

People would never do anything like me in not reading the comments before going 🫣, I leave here my opinion, about my frustration about this place, my rating is zero about this place, the food sucks, the meat is horrible, the chicken was raw and smelly I was spoiled, I was very sad about the situation I put my family in by choosing this place. I already recommend it to anyone And the manager didn't even want to see me to talk about the situation, I was very upset and paid the bill and we went to another decent place.

Having read the reviews before trying the place, I was really apprehensive that the food was going to be either bland, overcooked or cold! None of which were true!! Maybe it’s because it was quiet.. we booked for half 12 on a Saturday…. But it really was an awesome meal!! People that complain about the buffet clearly don’t appreciate that’s a side to the main event of meat. People that complain about the meat probably have it cooked to death and then it would be chewy. And people that complain about there only being pineapple for desert, clearly can’t read a menu!! We loved it, meat was hot, tasty and fresh. The buffet had everything you would need to accompany the star items and the pineapple and cheesecake were Devine! We will be back again, fun concept, great food and randomly… really lovely loos!

First time here and lovely food. Choose the buffet and selection of meats option, which is quite cheap for the sheer amount you can have. The only bad thing is very slow service on drinks. Had all the food come out but no drinks. Waited 20 minutes for every round of drinks to come. There was only 6 of us and at times only 2 would order drinks and still waited 20mins. Other than that fantastic experience.

Very definitely the worst Brazilian restaurant I have ever been to. I only gave it one star because the Portuguese waiter was really great. The buffet was stone cold and I had to listen to someone cussing, shouting and swearing while I was eating. I think he was associated with the staff but I can't be sure. So, if you want to spend £35 for cold food and to listen to someone shouting, swearing and carrying on please be my guest.

So firstly the meat in the Brazilian BBQ was good. Not excellent but very good. The buffet is awful, basically boiled potatoes, rice, salad and bits. Nothing really Brazilian if you get my drift. I've been to much better Brazilian BBQ in other cities, the decor hasn't really changed since it was the Ganges Indian restaurant. I would go again but on a week day when it's not 35 quid for the BBQ. Lovely food let down by dated decor and a limp cold buffet. Oh yeah and chips are extra.

The worst Brazilian chirrascaria I've ever visited. My family and I went to lost in Rio to eat a typical Brazilian rodízio, at our table the meat only came 5 times, and after that someone came to our table to ask if we had finished, if we wanted pineapple or another meat to finish, I I asked for at least the ones we hadn't tried yet to come, we waited for 1 hour and the meats never came, I went to pay and they had the audacity to charge me 90 contos. Save your money and don't go to this restaurant. Sad salad buffet, beans without salt and loaded with garlic.

Living in the south-west there are very few options to go to for an authentic taste of Brazilian food (aka home). Lost in Rio is the perfect spot to satisfy my homesickness.

Went to Lost in Rio earlier and was absolutely disgusted in the quality. We got there and ordered the all you can eat buffet along side the all you can eat meat. The first round of meat took ages to come out so we went to get our sides from the buffet. There was no bread, about 4 garlic mushrooms, crunchy stale rice, scrapings of sweet potatoe (which was the best part of the whole experience in my opinion) and the rest isn’t even worth mentioning. We were asked how we liked our meat cooked and we said medium rare, but the question was pointless as all the meat came out overdone or tough as old boots. After we had been there for about 20 minutes we had accumulated a plate of food that we had called “the bin plate.” Eventually they restocked the buffet but the sweet potato was cold which caught me off guard and made me feel sick. Eventually we were served some pork belly which I took a bite of and had to spit onto the bin plate and then promptly left. All in all that was the worst dining experience I’ve ever had and I’ll never go back. I’m just hoping I don’t get sick. Total waste of money.

We arrived expecting the options of either the buffet or the menu as shown on the website. We were told that only the buffet was available at £35.00 per head (not including drinks) not cheap, but we decided to go for it. We were disappointed. Excluding basic salad options, a couple of raw onion based dishes and part-baked baguette slices, there were only 7 choices for hot sides on the buffet: mashed sweet potato, new potatoes, creamy mushrooms, black lentils, sauerkraut, peas and boiled rice. No fresh veg, no wraps or alternative bread options. Whilst the lentils, mushrooms and new potatoes tasted good, they certainly could've been hotter. We enjoyed the novelty of the meat being brought to the table and carved and we were told it would be cooked to our preferences. 3 of our party wanted rare, 2 wanted medium rare. However, you got what you were given, there was no actual choice of how it was cooked. Some were definitely tasty but, as other reviews have said, we didn't always know what we were getting, it wasn't always made clear. We were able to return to the buffet as much as we like and the meat was brought round very regularly. The staff were generally friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, we all agreed that it wasn't worth the £35 per head.

The best meat (that everyone wishes to have - cap rump, sirloin etc.) took a lifetime to arrive and we actually had to ask for it. The lesser cuts (but no less tasty) came first e.g. minted lamb, sausage, gammon etc. I heard the place was a bit "hit and miss" and unfortunately on this special occasion, it was a miss. The staff were lovely, ambience great and such a friendly bunch of people. The food service, and service alone was lacking and disappointing. I will give it another go however.........

We were a party of 7 and we have all come to the same conclusions simply awful. We had had the evening planned for a couple of months and were all looking forward to it. Some of the food was hot as it was cut for us at the table, the rest was cold and all of the food lacked quality. The beef cut were all gristley and sinewy. The meat that we had cut for us was extremely small samples on the sword meaning the portion we were given were minute. The chaps serving the meats were friendly, but the other servers were not interested, very inattentive and not interested in our experience. We were left drinkless for nearly 45 minutes before we had to ask for the waitress to be sent over. The salad bar well what a disappointment cold crunchy undercooked rice and bland other pickings. The only thing that had an abundance of flavour were the pickled onions and the salad vinegarette. The garlic mushrooms lacked a fundamental ingredient garlic, peppercorn sauce was watery and also tasteless. Lost in rio was the biggest disappointment I think I have had to date, we should have know by the quietness of the restaurant. The best part of our meal was easily the roasted pineapple. Even if it did look like we had the scraps at the end of the night. Moreover if you want a night of disappointment, poor quality food and pay way over the odds for it go to this eatery. Personally I'd AVOID THIS EATERY IN FUTURE.

AVOID THIS RESTAURANT AT ALL COSTS! Today, my friend and I went to this restaurant for lunch. THE FOOD WAS AWFUL TO SAY THE LEAST!!! What they offer is not BRAZILIAN FOOD, IT IS A HUMILIATION FOR THE BRAZILIAN CUISINE to refer to this restaurant as “GOOD.” We have already eaten in several Brazilian restaurants in England and unfortunately this was the first one that disappointed us! About the employee who was serving us was very polite and friendly, no complaints! But the woman and the owner were arrogant and ignorant when faced with our complaint!!!

We had gone to this restaurant for a family members birthday and was all looking forward to spending a lovely evening together, as there was a large number of us we expected a wait for our food however what we experienced was beyond a joke. Once the staff had informed us we could go help ourselves at the buffet the selection on offer was not very appealing, staff then proceeded to bring out some form of meat on a skewer (even now no one there knows what meat it was) and was carved and put onto our plates, I received a tiny amount that could only be described as something you would find on the bottom of your shoe! When asked what it was I was rudely met with “you’ll have to wait for more to come out” by the staff. I then proceeded to try the food and quickly spat it back onto my plate as it was stone cold, I then raised the issue with the staff who informed me it had just come out the oven. This was a blatant lie as I work in hospitality and asked for the manager and for him to re probe the meat to check the temperature. He rudely refused and still continued to aggressively tell all of us the meat was hot and fresh out the oven. At this point we all thought enough was enough and we had to leave. Knowing the law and exactly what is meant by the customer is always right we refused to pay as what we experienced no one should have to go through! We was then met with threats of the police been phoned (knowing there’s nothing they can do) so we persisted to wait for them however they did not make an appearance. The manager then offered a select few 50% off the final bill however others only got 15% and said thats tough you will have to get the difference off everybody else. safe to say the birthday meal was ruined and now the complaints procedure to all relevant authorities has begun, so i urge everyone to AVOID this so called restaurant at all costs.

The manager then offered a select few 50% off the final bill however others only got 15% and said thats tough you will have to get the difference off everybody else. safe to say the birthday meal was ruined and now the complaints procedure to all relevant authorities has begun, so i urge everyone to AVOID this so called restaurant at all costs.

Enjoyed the buffet style dining experience with the twist of the amazing numbers of meat available but brought to your table and carved in front of you. Meats were a plenty, veg just a little cold but was a quiet Monday night when visited

Wow, was not expecting what I was given. You get to try everything from the menu and if you want more you just ask. Excellent price for what they’re offering. I’ll be returning again when I visit Plymouth.

Heard about this place from a friend and had to try it out for myself. Went with friends and we all love our food. From start to finish everything was off the scale. All the cuts of meat were so tasty and cooked to perfection. I cannot recommend this place enough. The service is perfect. Can't wait to go back and try the evening menu.

Been multiple times but this place is great and deserves a review. The selection of meats is amazing, well spiced and cooked to perfection. Bruno the owner is also very friendly and clearly proud of the restaurant. All the staff were so courteous. Easy to recommend.

We dined with our friends here,the food was exceptional as was the service, Wonderful cocktails. Highly recommend, we were only four in our party and the ambience was special, can imagine a larger party having a fantastic time as well, so good for small or large bookings

Brilliant place. Every type of meat tasted good. Thought we would easily manage the two rounds of service but we’re full after the first. We were only there for the meat but the salad bar didn’t look great for those who may be interested in that. Staff were great. Meat was coming out quickly. Great experience, surprised it wasn’t busier when we were in to be honest. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely go back if I was in the area again and would recommend to anyone looking to get their meat fix. Sounds expensive but we walked away happy and content feeling like it was value for money and if you can do every round of both sittings (one then a break then the other) then you would be getting better value for money if you could eat that much.

The price was not worth the experience. The meat was good, but the lack of sides was disappointing. If this had been cheaper, it would’ve been a lot better of an experience, but £35 each, for meat that came round once in a blue moon, and sides that just weren’t that good… not worth it. Some of the staff were wonderful, but some of the people bringing round meat weren’t very inviting. Overall, this would’ve been a lot better if the price wasn’t such a turn away, we were expecting a lot higher quality for the amount being paid.

A Brazilian bbq. They come round with steak, pork, chicken, sausage, all cooked on a sword like skewer. Then carve at the table. Had a long, quite leisurely lunch and a family catch up. Staff very attentive and listened to our preferences. (If management read this, we booked as Alice, please thank the young man who looked after us).

It is expensive for a family dinner. Children and women eat little)) But if you eat like a man - exactly that! Thanks to the staff, they even fed us on Christmas Day. They warned in advance about changes in working hours. I recommend Alas, this is definitely not a buffet where you can save money.

No one to greet us even though we booked, someone had to go and find a member of staff after we waited with other customers for 10 mins, table had to have an extra chair added so not prepared despite pre booking for party of 5. It was freezing in restaurant, plates were cold and bread was stale. We had not been before so had to wait till waitress explained how it worked only she forgot us. Finally got drinks , lovely pina coladas. The different meats were mostly gorgeous ( esp the beef) but veg available was barely warm and not great although the garlic mushrooms were nice. Tips for the restaurant- as so meat heavy maybe provide toothpicks, definitely turn the heating up, a plate warmer and perhaps something special for the birthday girl/guy- we left earlier as were so cold , they even turned the music off and quite frankly we felt forgotten- highly unlikely to return I’m afraid.

A carnivore's delight! A Brazilian themed meatfest with a great selection of different meats presented at the table by the waiters.

Went there for my first time with friends for lunch and can honestly say I couldn't pick a flaw with anything. The service was great and food was perfect. Owner is a very polite gentleman and staff are all very nice. I left feeling very full and happy. Alot of very good food for the price.

Tenía dos carnes asadas entregados, ambos con postres comida - realmente encantadora, y estaba todo casero y recién cocinado demasiado, no re-climatizada verduras congeladas o yorkshire budines. Mejor que asados que he tenido en los restaurantes. Teníamos dos asado de cerdo cenas, que podríamos haber alimentado tres! Tan agradable no tener que cocinar todo entonces limpiar! Apple crumble de deliciosos y crema pastelera, y de nuevo una porción masiva. Sin duda volveremos.

So sad to hear this restaurant is closing! Our family has enjoyed many birthday celebrations here and we have always been looked after really well. On the last occasion, Matt went above and beyond and it really made for a wonderful evening. The RWY is a very special place with a great atmosphere, so it seemed a perfect place to have a Hubbox. It will be missed!!

We visited for a busy Saturday lunch without a reservation. It was busy but they managed to fit us in and both the service and food was excellent. We had two fillet steaks and chips with a carafe of wine. Excellent food.

Totally heartbroken that these guys had to close, not only the food, atmosphere and service were probably the best in Plymouth but it was a truly special place judging by international standards! Will always remember the place and selfishly hope they open something in the future. Take care guys!
