    The ambiance was great. The decor was beautiful and felt like you were in a Spanish country having dinner. The service was top notch and made you feel like you were a vip guest from being seated promptly as we arrived to the general manager coming by to introduce himself and make sure we were having a great experience. Now for the real star of the show the food everything was prepared perfectly the beet salad was light n refreshing. The octopus was also made to perfection not a bit rubbery and the churrasco was cooked to perfection with the addition of the chimichuri just added to the overall flavor. And the drinks were top notch from the passion fruit pisco sour to the dessert flaming coffee we really enjoyed every aspect of our reservation. Our server Hassan was very welcoming and knowledgeable in both the menu and the drinks. Definitely will be returning and telling everyone this is a must try

    Warm, dimly lit, cozy restaurant with great service and delicious food. Portions are commensurate with the price - you will have leftovers because you’ll want to try everything. Great for dates or groups. We shared the pão de queijo, roasted squash, whole grilled branzino and pork rice.
