                                                    Infelizmente minha experiência foi arruinada pela comida. O garcon foi agradavel, o ambiente era bom, mas a comida estava pessima, além de ser muito cara. Nao indico a ninguem, triste que esse restaurante possa ser uma referência da comida brasileira, os americanos e os que não conhecem comida brasileira vão pensar que comemos mal daquele jeito. Pessimo. Unfortunately, my experience was ruined by the food. The waiter was nice, the atmosphere was good, but the food was terrible, and it was very expensive. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's sad that this restaurant could be a reference for Brazilian food. Americans and those who don't know Brazilian food will think we ate badly like that. Terrible.

                                                    The food here was amazing and authentic! The service though, was what set it aside from the rest. The restaurant was extremely accommodating of my large party and requests and checked in with me several times. The brunch is a great deal for the amount of food you receive!

                                                    We were a group of 4, none of us ate because the food was terrible. I ordered the Moqueca and the sauce was warm but the sea food was cold. I’m pretty sure they just threw frozen stuff into a pot of sauce. The drinks and pão de queijo were good but that’s about it. As a Brazilian I was very shocked with the poor quality of the food, it’s not authentic Brazilian food.

                                                    The food and drinks were very good. The restaurant space is very nice. The service was great! The only thing that I didn’t like was the overhead spotlight that was shining directly in my eyes, but we will go back again.
