Simply amazing. We have driven past this jewel for 2 years. 2 years of happiness averted by not coming in to sample the amazing food and homemade ambiance that has been created in North Scottsdale by the owner Phil and his family. Phil began his life as the son of a missionary pilot in the heart of the Amazon and brought the culinary delights of South America to create his restaurant surrounded by the artifacts he gathered as a child from the indigenous people in the area and art made from some of his 300 employees who worked in his world class destination fishing resorts throughout Brazil. This South American version of Crocodile Dundee visited our table and shared his passion for Brazil and his restaurant. The staff is knowledgeable and accommodating. Their recommendations were perfect and the overall experience was great. I can't recommend this place highly enough.
