Great atmosphere and amazing food!!

I love this place. The food is absolutely amazing. The service was great. We tried every meat available and each one was better than the other.

I went for the Sunday brunch for my birthday. They NEVER fail to impress. The food is always amazing. The service is impeccable, and the entire experience is just fantastic. Have been there at least 10 times and have never been the least bit disappointed.

Thanks Alan for your amazing service 😊we have a good experience dinner at Ipanema. One of the best restaurant in Ocala.

Great food, fast service, wonderful attentive staff and fantastic atmosphere

Today, my friends and I had an amazing brunch at Ipanema. The food was more than perfect, and Pablo, our server, provided exceptional service. Additionally, the manager, Marvin, regularly checked in to ensure the food and service were satisfactory. If you want to have a great time with your friends, I highly recommend Ipanema.

I've been to a few Brazilian steakhouses. This one is at the bottom of my list. I've lived in the area almost my whole life and finally decided to visit. I normally go for the lamb. The lamb was absolutely terrible. It was so gamey almost bad tasting. I had to spit it out . I've never spit out lamb. The top round was pretty good, along with the bacon wrapped filet mignon and chicken. The waitress was great. The waiters walking with the meat would just walk right past us a lot. I probably won't go back here and take the drive to Jacksonville or Orlando to the better ones.

Great Service , Great food , good time

This is really good especially the macaroni

Best experience ever! Food was delicious!!

Very good food and excellent service

VERY good dining experience. The atmosphere was relaxed upscale, if not romantic when we arrived prior to the dinner rush. (Reservations recommended) Servers were attentive, the food of good quality, and I give it 4/5 for Brazilian authenticity because it is a little bit Americanized but mostly there. All that was missing was the feijoada, farofa, & Portuguese! A+, definitely recommend.

Staff always attentive to what you need! Food is delicious!

Excellent service and plenty of attention.

Fantastic experience! The food was incredible and the staff was a blast. Will definitely be coming back!

The restaurants and services of Ocala. Thank you for what you do!

Marvin excellent service. Very attentive.

Love the sides dishes and the service.

Never had a bad experience at Ipanema! Highly recommend.

First time here. Wow what an experience Bacon wrapped Filet, bottom sirloin was my fav. Sides were top notch. Food was great! Service was great. I beef ribs though but they are subject to availability, so it’s okay, maybe next time.

The most excellent tender meat I’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in we were treated amazing. Will definitely be back!

Great food quality and they actually go beyond with the customer service thanks to Allan.

Excellent food, service and very nice place

Excelent service .. excellent place

Our evening began with a sweet server, Cathy who made us feel right at home! Then the food began to run; Our favorite meat is the bottom sirloin, which is made to perfection (chef’s kiss!). The top round is just delicious too, the filet mignon (garlic seasoned and bacon wrapped) is sliced beautifully! Wear your stretchy pants because you can eat til your hearts content! The lamb, sausage and cinnamon pineapple is fantastic! But it doesn’t stop there! Our tastes buds sang a sweet melody from our pitcher of white sangria! They don’t hold back it was a good size filled with fruits and a sweet wine! The buffet has a delicious assortment of side dishes that pair so well with all the meat! Don’t miss out on a lovely dinning experience from entrance to exit!

Very great service and food always a great dinning experience

Make reservations it's not mandatory but it helps

The food was great…. I really enjoyed my birthday meal!

Odalys has been So attentive. Everyone here is absolutely wonderful. There’s no way I can describe the quality and taste of this food. If you haven’t been here, you better come.

Great restaurant excellent food

Absolutely amazing experience!!!

Absolutely awesome staff and food!!! Worth every penny!

Amazing service and food as always. We love coming to Ipanema in Ocala.

I asked four people for chicken never got it. What we got was over cooked. We had no drinks the service was horrible the bill was $81.00 don’t go!

The ambiance was great. The whole atmosphere gives off cozy vibes, but that’s as far as my compliments go. We dined as a party of 7. The whole experience was disappointing from the moment we walked in. There was no one in the front checking us in, finally someone acknowledged us. We checked in with our reservation, he said ok and walked away. Never came back so someone else swayed us. No. “Welcome, been here before, know how this works etc” . Took a while to get drinks, food took a while to come around. I was super disappointed in the quality of the meats and we have been to many Brazilian steak houses in several countries and this is by far the least favorite. The beef was the worst, super salty and very tough. The Parmesan chicken was good, flavorful and juicy. The mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy and the beef stroganoff gets a 5 star. The pineapple was like participating in the cinnamon challenge 😮

Food was very good. Service was less than ideal.

Very attentive and helpful staff I will definitely come back again

It's usually pretty good but quite a limited choice of meats. Service has always been good.

This place is absolutely amazing. The food was delicious and the service is super friendly. We told them we were Newlyweds and our server came back with an amazing dessert. Can not wait to go back.

The meat was great but the vegetables were cold. Cold grilled zucchini and asparagus was not good.

7 PM on Saturday night definitely expect a wait. We made a reservation so we got sat faster, so definitely something to consider depending on when you are wanting to dine. The service was amazing, they have a card system to let the people bringing around the meats know if you are wanting to continue to get more meat or not. They had many different varieties as well as different cuts. The meats were all very delicious, though a little fatty! I saw some people said that it was salty, I did not have that problem at all. You can let them know how medium/rare you want the meat, but I will say that they do tend to be more on the medium rare side. I love medium rare, so I had no issues. You do get access to the unlimited salad and sides bar. They have many options for sides including Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, beans, rice, fried plantains, etc. the salad bar had many options as well, and there was also bread and butter available. Overall we left very full and satisfied! Wanted to add that the service was excellent! They def went above and beyond. Overall, It is a little pricy, so I prob would not come outside of a special occasion, but it was def worth it!

The people working there is amazing, best food, best attention

Salad bar was good but all the other sides could be better. I was confused on serving steamed asparagus cold?? As well as The sautéed squash and zucchini. Very cold! Then men that walked around with the meat would be more helpful if you could understand them alittle better maybe displaying a meat menu on the tables of what meat you're serving that night. As well as maybe offering two different types of cooked meats because we got a lot more well done meat than it being pink inside. I understand that you can flip the sign stating you don't want any more meat, but the thing is you're serving such a big Amount of meat That is very hard to try to taste all 11 meats in one night and then on top of that, what meat that's on my plate that I've already nibbled on you don't allow me to take it home? No to go boxes! I can understand if I'm stuff it with fresh meat but this is food we ate off of.. I was very disappointed. Our bill was $125 and we know we didn't get a chance to taste all the 11 meats because they kept sending the same meats over and over Chicken, sausage, lamb, top sirloin. That's it that was all the meat that we tried and we even asked the waitress again. Is there more meat to this and she said yes there's 11 meats being served tonight so with that being said, does that mean I have to sit at this restaurant for hours waiting to taste all 11 meats?? Needless to say good thing, I don't live here because I would never go back. I only saw my waitress twice. The hostess had an attitude from the start. And also very very noisy and crowded. Tables are literally on top of each other my husband and I could even barely hear each other. We asked the hostess if we can get another table and she got snappy and stated well pick a seat. We asked about a booth we saw online and she said ok and put us right next to the salad bar and stated this is all they have. I stated to her we made a reservation previous day and was told we get to request the booth and she shrugged her shoulders and said sorry and walked away... like I said we will never go back. Was a waste of money!!!

Really like it, it's an awesome experience and the atmosphere is so good!!

Atmosphere was nice. Food was very well prepared. Enjoyed everything.

Great food, good value, and a wide selection of buffet elements and endless smoked and riasted meat.

Excellent food and the attention of all the staff who serve the tables is very good, they are very friendly and attentive

Great place to celebrate life with a flare for the exceptional! Ambiance is exquisite, food more so, and reservations were simple.

Excellent in every way. Not for the faint of heart vegans need not enter. They have an excellent salad bar all the meats they will bring you other than chicken or rare. With that said I could find no better place to take a date that's not vegan

My wife and I went there last night and were unfortunately pretty disappointed. I don’t know if the sides were supposed to be cold but the mashed potatoes, zucchini, and asparagus were all cold. The wine list left something to be desired. Once the meat started coming out it was just ok. I was really lookin forward to the top sirloin and especially the lamb. Everything was overcooked except for the bottom sirloin. It was actually really good and was served a perfect med rare. Everything else was medium well and the lamb was very well done. If you know lamb it should NEVER be cooked over medium rare or it tastes gross. Two bites of it killed our appetite for the rest of our experience. Atmosphere was very loud. And obviously because it’s all you can eat they don’t let you take anything home. I would have at least given the overcooked meat to our dogs. For this amount of money I would highly recommend people just go to Marks Prime Steakhouse. Much better food. And you will probably leave with enough leftovers for two more meals.

Delightful. Delicious. Excellent service. Excellent atmosphere. My husband and I took our ten year old son. It was my husband and sons first time and they LOVED it.

Amazing food and awesome staff.

We have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. The salad bar is packed with choices, and you will be tempted to fill up on it, but don't you need to experience the selection of meats brought to your table on swords. It is also a must that you try the cinnamon grilled pineapple. You will be hooked

Incredible food and customer service, everything was top notch.

This place is so delicious! I may like the salad bar and the sides even better than the meat. Out of everything they serve off of the skewer, my favorites are the garlic sirloin and the grilled pineapple.

Best Brazilian steakhouse we have been to. Been to 3 different ones and this one by far beats the others. They give healthy cuts of meat compared to a little sliver like the others. The service was great. Never waited for long waiting meat and it was a Saturday night. Will never our go to when we go through Ocala!!

Despite the multiple reviews of salt and bland taste we thought we would give this place a try. Well we were disappointed which sucks. The service was great! Unfortunately if you like well done which me and my fiancée do, this is not the place for you. Every steak we asked for well done they said ‘well this is the most done’ and all of it was pink pink. A lot of it did taste very very salty. With the amount of money it cost, it is very dissatisfying to not be able to eat alot of the steak because the ‘well done’ was nowhere near well done. We basically ate the chicken and salad from bar which is not worth what we paid for. I suggest to have well done meat options as not everyone likes pink. Not happy and a big let down as yesterday was supposed to be a special day for us.

If you like liver, they prepare it scrumptious

This was our first time dining here. The staff was very friendly. The food was delicious. We had so many options . They also have a salad bar that was full of tasty options, including shrimp, salad , mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. Everything was delicious.

Very elegant restaurant inside, Over the top meal and service. Everyone great, super friendly.. Thank You

Meats were delicious as well as the sides that you go up to get!👍🏽👌🏽
