Espada Brazilian Steak was Rochester's first and only Brazilian churrascaria. Meals were offered at tiers of all-you-can-eat from $25 to $45 per seat plus drinks. Diners begin by taking a trip to the salad and sides bar, but from then on servers come around to the tables with skewers loaded with meat and pineapple fresh off the grill, placing chosen items right on your plate. Previously located at the Village Gate.
The owners of Gate House Cafe opened Espada Brazilian Steak on December 6, 2012. Closed April 3 2016. In 2016, the owners announced they were moving Gate House Cafe into Espada's location and will be opening a new restaurant at the Gate House location.
