text: I came here last night for a work dinner and unsurprisingly came to the conclusion that this place is just awful for a variety of reasons I say unsurprisingly because I feel like my experience at Brazilian steakhouses is always the same you pay as if you weigh bills and play in the NFL but neither you me nor anyone I was with actually ate like that to make what they are charging you worthwhilennSo I have strong opinions about Brazilian steakhouses in generaltake that for what it is worth and please believe me when I say that I actually was looking forward to the dinner as I would heard good things about Chima despite my reservations and heaven knows I LOVE me some meat so I did not go into this experience with a bad attitude That said Chima is specifically doing a number of things wrong that I just cannot overlooknn What are Brazilian steakhouses known for hint it rhymes with BEAT Yep you got it MEAT And not just any meat BEEF Yes they have pork and chicken and all that but the vast majority of the meat that they are pimping out at every table are beef And what goes well with beef Wine WINE people Red red wine Steakhouses have a unique opportunity to showcase stellar red wines since most patrons or eating red meat so I would expect Chima to have amassed a wine list chock full of big fullbodied anvilonyourtonguetype reds with a lot of character Sadly their wine list has a fairly paltry selection of reds both in quantity and quality and the by the glass selection was a completely joke I mean DEPLORABLE I tried three different glasses in hopes that SOMETHING would be palatable but alasI was disappointed at every turnnn In my opinion very little of the meat selection is worth what you end up paying for it Even if I would stuck to only the baconwrapped filet I would have ended up feeling robbed Do not get me wrong it is not TERRIBLE price entirely aside the meat is finebut I am telling you it is not worth the premium they are charging you for it not even a little bit Again this is an issue with most Brazilian steakhouses which is why I sayjust go to a real steakhouse Get ONLY the steak you want instead of a you want and others you do not want and pay less I am not trying to be cheap I have been to Wolfgangs CUT in LA and paid out the wazoo for the wagyu but you know what THAT WAS WORTH IT I paid a premium but got a stellar steak I cannot say the same for what I got at Chimann The servers are mostly inept There just seemed to beconfusion I tried to order a glass of wine before the last people in our party arrived and the server seemed to not understand that no I did NOT want to wait for themam I not allowed order a glass of wine while I wait for crying out loud The real issue came though when we tried to split the check We have people in our party and were initially told we could only split the check ways Then inexplicably we could split it ways But the punchline of this whole ordeal was that they were USING AN IPAD I am fairly certain that laziness not system limitations was the culprit of our check debacle And after all that our server could not even get the checks right so one of my coworkers ended up paying for one of my glasses of wine Ridiculous nnNeedless to say I will not be back nor will I ever recommend or say anything good about Chima to anyone I know Overall I find it to be a poorly executed steakhouse of subpar quality and I can think of at least restaurants within a mile radius of this place at which I would rather eat Again this is merely my opinion bu hey that is why you are on Yelp right Take it with a grain of salt
