What people say, in short
Most people who mention Espetus recommend it, a Brazilian steakhouse (churrascaria). Several simply name it as their pick for steak or a steakhouse, and a few say they love it. One says the beef is great and draws locals and Brazilians, and one suggests it for lunch when asked for a value steak. Among those who compare it with another Brazilian spot, views split: one prefers Espetus for atmosphere, one is a big fan of it for its shrimp and wider options, though notes the space is smaller, and one likes it but calls the other the stronger pick.
