Leblon was a terrific experience! The quality of the food was great and there was constantly meat sent around to each table. At the end, they even asked if there was a specific meat we wanted again and they brought that out. They put together a lovely dessert and sang for my girlfriend for her birthday. Only weird thing was that they didn’t have actual napkins. Just small almost cocktail size ones. Other than that, it was a wonderful meal!
