| - I loved everything about this place, from the upstairs location, the candlelit stairs, the Brazilian jazz music, the smiling service. And no wonder Brazilians have all the sexy curves with this good food.
The restaurant works like this: order a drink (mojito, caipirinha, sangria, anyone?), then visit the salad bar, where you'll find these among the selection:
Pao de queso-- cheesy bread!!!! (gluten free, made from yucca flour)
Mango salad
Avocado salad (the most avocado i've seen in one bowl at one time)
Shrimp (very meaty-- yum!)
Mussels
Bocconcini and cherry tomatoes
Sauteed greens
Smoked salmon
Prosciutto (in case you're worried about getting enough protein later)
Next, the meats are served tablefront, sliced frrom skewers-- you indicate whether you want the servers to keep visiting you with green/red light cards on your table. They've got everything from veal to chicken legs to bacon wrapped turkey and pork sausage-- it's very hard to say "no" to the nice young men who visit every couple of minutes.
The most delightful part of the meal was the grilled pineapple desert, also served tablefront fresh off the skewer, rolled in cinammon...fragrant, sweet and light!
Obrigadaaaaaaaaaaaa!
PS. Great place for a date or a splurge-- worth it.
