| - Yet another stop along our Yelp Int'l Supper Club tour...
Drinks? Ohmygod, yes. They were so good in fact that I downed three in a very short period of time. I had to stop myself from ordering another and I noticed a lot of our other diners were stopping themselves, as well. Wow... just FYI, the sparkling wine and passion fruit drink was divine.
Food? Eh... As much as I hate to admit it, I did not have a wonderful experience. In fact, across our table seemed to be hit or miss. I ordered the blackened mahi special and it came as tough as fish jerky. I get it--it's blackened, but it should still flake in the middle. I was having a hard time cutting it with a fork...not a good sign when you order a light fish. Everyone around me either had something they loved or something they wanted to send back. I will say the artichoke fritters, spicy shrimp small plate and curried scallops were awesome.
Other than that, the service was nice, but sort of burly at times. The waitress we had was training another server and it was sort of a mess. The main server smelled so much of cigarettes that you could choke on the scent as she reached across you. She also had a tendency to slam plates and dishes down in front of you. In fact, I had no idea why this gal was training another server.
Overall, I could see the potential of this place and the drinks and our company is what really made our experience. I think they should really shrink their menu down to one, small page of Brazilian-style specialties and keep it at that.
P.S. If you're in it for the drinks, take advantage of their happy hour specials. If not, you'll end up with a huge bill like I did... dammit.
