16+ cuts including picanha and lamb chops. Picanha (Brazilian top sirloin cap), filet mignon wrapped in bacon, garlic-rubbed top sirloin, lamb chops, lamb leg, pork ribs, linguiça, chicken wrapped in bacon, and the rest of the 16-cut rotation fire-grilled and carved tableside.
Private room for High Point groups. The private dining room handles 12 to 30 guests and is regularly booked for rehearsal dinners, HPU parent weekends, business team dinners, and milestone birthdays from across the Triad.
