| - Delish drink & food with an old friend/co-worker and their husband. The restaurant is a very nicely set up, yet simple. I believe it's a family run business, three brothers care for the front of the house and I believe the father cares for the general management of it. The entire wait staff (the brothers) provided an excellent dining experience. We started off with complimentary plantain chips that were not overly sweet, which was delish and a cocktail, which is a traditional drink, Caipirinha (Brazilian Margarita) and appetizers Pao de Queijo (Cheese Bread) & Coxinha de Frango (Chicken Fritters w/a spicy sauce). For dinner, two of had the Feijoada (Black Bean Stew that had 3 smoked meats- I believe, Short Rib, Pork Rib & Sausage and you topped it with sides of Collard greens, farofa (crispy bread crumb)) and Felipe tried the Prato Feito (Deep Fried Pork Rib dinner). Our dish was very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. And finished off with dessert, Brigadeiros (chocolate truffle). Felipe is from Brazil and said that it was all very traditional and good, even down to the way dessert was presented. It's definitely worth the drive to North Scottsdale/Pinnacle Peak Rd
