Love the Brazilian steak houses and Rafain matches the standard. Nice salad and dessert bars but why talk about the understudies when the stars are on-stage? Churrascarias are about the meat and Rafain doesn't let down. Sirloin, picanha, filet mignon, beef ribs, sausage, chicken, pork loin, pork ribs, sweet leg of lamb and lamb chops slow roasted and presented plateside right off the skewer.

(And, yes, I'm all about the lamb. My experience is lamb done right - tender, juicy, and not over seasoned - is a good indication of rest of the menu. That, and, well, give me good lamb and my brain settles into contented gigglies for the rest of the evening.)

Going with deep pockets and even deeper hunger is recommended but worth it. Last visit the service was attentive, almost intrusive, but we were there on a slow night so the staff had few others to dote on. We're of the jeans and sneakers variety and the vibe seems to appeal a bit more to the Louis Vuitton carriers, but we go out for the food and their cornucopia of luscious, delicious sizzling meats means Rafain is one of our happy places.
