Veesao Brazilian Kitchen (also Onyx Dessert Bar)
Recently Onyx Dessert Bar on O'Connell Street have changed their main face to a Brazilian themed eatery, but like putting makeup over your previous nights party face, things tend to get a bit questionable if you don't start fresh. I (Camellia) went to dinner on a Sunday night with a group of friends and was fortunate (?) to dine on the first day of their unlimited barbeque menu.![]() |

The waitstaff who greeted us had a severe lack of professionalism and couldn't clearly explain to us what our menu options were. We ended up confirming that the popular option for the night was the "all you can eat barbeque" for $40 a head. When we asked what was included in this option, they couldn't exactly tell us and then further confirmed that nearly half of the written menu was unavailable for ordering "since it was a Sunday night". As I had wished to order some separate sides which weren't included in the barbeque special, this wasn't ideal.
Thinking back, this should ring alarm bells since I've heard bad things about restaurant specials and this barbeque plug seemed like a great way to use up the weeks leftover inventory.

A range of sauces including chimichurri, salsa verde and a third onion/capsicum with vinegar base featured and were topped up as needed.

All in all, I had a good time and was sufficiently full for the $40 price tag. However the service was not to my liking and I don't really see any hint of a dessert bar in that place (clearly we didn't order any desserts). It's great for feeding a hoard of carnivores, and I do enjoy the presence of Brazilian dishes since it's not a very common cuisine in Australia.
Service: 2/5 - A very unprofessional and "occa" waitress, way too casual and had no idea (it was like fish and chip shop service), but serving staff were pleasant.
Atmosphere: 3.5/5
Food: 7/10
Camellia gives Veesao Brazilian Kitchen 12.5/20 chops on the chopping board.
