    Everything about this restaurant was outstanding! This was my first time here and it definitely won't be the last. Exceptional customer service began when I booked my reservation thru OpenTable and then had to make an adjustment to my arrival time - no problem; they accommodated my request without any issue at all at this very popular location. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and seated right away. It was my birthday, and on our table was a birthday card signed by all the staff. Because we were so excited about trying this restaurant, we already knew what we wanted to eat and we were *not disappointed! The food was truly delicious and was presented so beautifully. I'd go as far as saying the food was prepared with love - you can literally sense it. Service to our table was fantastic, with most staff coming by to check on us - each of them with warm and friendly dispositions. The atmosphere was very lively for brunch, which made it very enjoyable. I'm a chicken and waffles fan, and will order it if it's on the menu ... let's just say 6 Tables' chicken and waffles is hands down the best I've ever had! Not to mention their Red Velvet latte - oh my gosh - order one!! I honestly can't wait to return to this restaurant the next time I'm in the City!

    The restaurant was a little hard to find, down a short passage way and up stairs to the restaurant. It was a little chilly inside, they ran out of red wine which was a little odd, and we were there fairly early so it was quiet. To start we had the Mandioca Frita (Yuca Fries) which were wonderful. Slightly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, and the guava jam and aioli gave it an extra nice flavor; and we also had the Brazilian Cheese Bread Ball which were good. For dinner we had the Half Rotisserie Chicken with Turmeric Rice, carrots and okra which was very flavorful, I literally cleaned my plate. The other dish was Braised Short Ribs which were cooked to perfection. Very tender and flavorful. We would definitely return.
