| - We stopped in for a quick, small bite to eat before the gym. We split a Frango E Catupiry Pastel (chicken and catupiry filled thin pastry). which was delicious. Boyfriend had the gyro, which he enjoyed but I noticed is on the smaller side.
I ordered the chicken fingers with fries. Not the greatest chicken fingers, likely frozen, but the two stars comes from what happened after I started cutting my chicken in half to let it cool down faster. One piece was very undercooked so I put it off to the side to let the waitress know when she came back out. The rest seemed fine so I ate those while I waited; good thing, since my boyfriend was already finished with his gyro by the time she showed up again. When we politely told her that everything was good minus the undercooked piece of chicken (I showed it to her), rather than apologize and offer to get me a new one, she gave us an annoyed look like we were bothering her and instead got a plate for me to deposit my already-cut-in-half piece of chicken onto and she brought it back to the kitchen to be cooked more. When she came back, she dropped it off at the table with still no apology. What the heck??
The more traditional Brazilian dishes looked pretty good and decently priced, and we were thinking of coming back to try. However, after the off-putting experience of having a piece of chicken taken back to the kitchen to be recooked after I already cut into it and the lack of basic customer courtesy, we will not be coming back.
An odd set up, as the place is very tiny and casual but is run restaurant-style.
