This place is to Brazilians what Times Square is to New Yorkers. Out-of-towners think Times Square is the real NY when in fact is a place to be avoided. Plataforma might be amusing and amazing to whomever has never been to an authentic Churrascaria IN Brazil. You'll see a busy and large place, big (salad) buffet and the all-you-can-eat mindset, but Brazilians who come to this place know they will fill you up with the cheap, undesireable meat and bring the real picanha olnly upon begging (if you were Brazilian, you would know you should come to this place for PICANHA and ALCATRA exclusively). If you stuffed yourself with salad and salsages, colgratulation, you've been just ripped off!
Pros: Food, food, food
Cons: not meat, not meat, not meat - just replacements
