Stumbled upon this place for happy hour. Rustic decor & tucked away from always busy Market. Happy hour and the small plates are a great deal-enough to share for two! Normal menu seemed pricey though.

Great Brazilian place with a simple tasty menu. Good for a quiet sit-down lunch. More clubby/drinky in the evenings.

Delicious drinks and decent food. But they run on Brazilian time so your dinner will take over an hour.

Be sure and get down underground and see the amazing lounge after a couple of amazing caipirinhas.

Ceviche very good, as was the lamb skewers. In fact entire meal quite good. Prob best to do the tapas.

Drinks here are off the chain. Cool date spot too! Def hard to find though (which is a good thing!). Total no-douchebag zone!

Pork chop is fantastic along with a couple of Mojitos.

Get the jalapeno mojito. It is to die for. Pitcher preferably.
Marco FabbriMarch 26, 2011
Tuna tartar (tiny dish) and banana froster are both delicious.

The beef, chicken, lamb skewers are good. So is the mashed sweet potatoes and cheese bread.

Amazing food, shitty ass service. They will not even check on you for ten minutes after ordering <$200 of food and drinks, even with your hand raised for two minutes. WTF.
Tricia LeeFebruary 15, 2014
Sorry. Dont come here. High hopes because we love Brazilian food but service was sooooo slow. Waiting for every dish.... It's too bad because the food is not bad.

If you want to save yourself a headache, skip this place. Decent food at an over priced rate with the slowest service ever. My grandma could have knit a scarf faster than this place. Never mind the fa

It's all about the fejuada
Jessica PandaFebruary 16, 2010
my tip is to save your time and money by not coming here. food is good but over priced with slow wait staff.
Rose BicalhoApril 27, 2012
Nossa!!! Um restaurante brasileiro e ninguem fala portugues. Nunca vi isso!
Georgeo RoccoAugust 29, 2011
Não é um lugar pra quem quer comer comida brasileira! Comida nada de mais e muito caro!
