To Our Guests:The amount of guests that you make a reservation for is what you will have available. Example: If you make a reservation for 4 guests and put in the notes that you need a table for 8 guests- you will not have a table for 8 guests but only for 4 guests that you made the reservation for.Seats at the bar itself are NOT able to be reserved- they are very limited and are first come first serve. If you book the bar tables on Opentable- the reservation will be for the tables in the lounge that are located behind the bar.Seats on the patio are also NOT able to be reserved. If a reservation is made and in the notes you have requested outside or patio this does not guarantee you an outside table.We look forward to seeing you soon.

Rio Brazil Steakhouse set on the outskirts of Richmond and Glen Allen.A Brazilian steakhouse, commonly known as a "churrascaria," is a dining establishment that specializes in the traditional Brazilian barbecue style of cooking meat. These restaurants are renowned for their "rodízio" service, where a variety of skewered meats, such as beef, pork, lamb, and chicken, are slow-cooked over an open flame.Our Customers experiences a continuous tableside service where servers, known as "gauchos," carve the meats directly onto the diners' plates. The rodízio style allows patrons to enjoy a wide selection of meats until they are satisfied, with the serving process continuing until they signal for it to stop.In addition to the succulent meats, Brazilian steakhouses often offer an expansive salad bar with a variety of fresh vegetables, cheeses, and side dishes to complement the main courses offering a unique and popular dining experience.

    Stella's is our favorite Richmond restaurant. We shared the Spanakopita to start. For the entrees I had the Shrimp Ouzo and my son had the Salmon dish. Everything was delicious! Our server was extra attentive and did a great job. We love Stella's and try to come as often as possible.

    We had a 7 PM Reservation for two on my birthday on Tuesday, April 15th. Our experience was delightfu! Our server, Adrian was charming and very helpful. I don't know his name, but there was another genleman in a white shirt and tie who was wonderful, too. The food was superb, as was my first Cairipina(?), the Brazilian National cocktack. The salad bar was extentsive and absolutely fresh, and had items such as Shrimp , Chicken Salad, Marinated Salmon, all manner of vegetable and fruit salads. This is more than enough for someone like my wife who does not like to eat much meat. She was completely happy. I, on the other hand, am a real Carnivore - the meat was superb, served at yout table, hot and done the way you like it! I certainly got my money's worth!!! It was my Birthday, so Adrian gave us a complimentary dessert which my wife and I shared - it was absolutely decadent, and was complimented by a Double Espresso and Brazilian Coffee. We left completely satisfied, and will definitely return. I have also eaten at the Texas de Brazil Restaurant in Short Pump, and, IMHO, Rio De Brazil blows them away on all counts!

    The service was fantastic and the food was even better. Big portions, plenty of chips, salsa and the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food you were getting. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you looking for good Mexican cuisine.

    As an event with a buffet, it is important to let patrons know when you are shutting down the food. (We understand it was to prepare for the next shift). Still important; some at our table did not get dessert.
