Nestled in New Jersey, this restaurant offers a mixed experience that sparks strong opinions. Many praise the authentic Brazilian flavors, especially the expertly grilled meats and warm, homemade taste, with regulars highlighting the attentive service by the staff and owner. Portions are generous, making it a worthwhile visit for steak lovers. However, some guests report inconsistent food quality, slow service, and cramped, less-than-clean facilities.

I recently returned to New Jersey for a business trip with two colleagues and we stopped for dinner at Pavilion. The experience was outstanding. The personalized service from the owner, Dona Celeste, was amazing and she made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious. My coworkers agreed that the highlight of the trip was having dinner at Pavilion.

This was THE WORST place to ever try. I was told to seat myself. After placing an order I was told I needed to move. Apparently they had a reservation for a big party. Why even allow me to seat myself. I sat there for 45 minutes and never saw food. When we asked why we didn't have food yet, we were told that the bigger party was more important than we were. We were still paying customer. After everything we went through, they still charged for the drinks. Save yourself a trip. Don't go to this horrible place.
