What people say, in short
Brasa is a South American steakhouse that several diners recommend, most without saying which location. One diner calls the downtown location across from Caesars classy with a big-city feel and names it their favorite steakhouse in the city, and notes there is also a Metairie location. A couple suggest it as an alternative to Fogo de Chao, and one suggests it for Australian Wagyu. One diner calls it a decent alternative but probably not right for a special occasion.
