| - This place has a beautiful terrace in where you shouldn´t miss a caipirinha.
The attendants were mostly Brazilian from all kind of ages, and by listening to some conversations (oops... yeah sometimes I snoop) between the waitress and some of the customers, I could tell that they were regulars, so I got big expectations about the food.
The waitress was really friendly and nice, (she was born in Mato Grosso if you were wondering...) and her service was optimo!!!
The caipirinhas were spectacular and they came quick.
When I saw the menu it was disappointing that they lack some of the icons of the Brazilian food like the feijoada, and that they tried to reach a bigger audience by mixing Brazilian with Italian food... So my aspirations of tasting some authentic Brazilian food started to vanish.
The order was based on some appetizers to share: calamari, shrimps, and some Brazilian cut that was camouflaged like an appetizer, but when it appeared, it seemed more like a main course that would satisfy a cookie monster...
Why am I putting 3 stars? The 3 appetizers came at the same time but they were COLD... We still ate everything because the flavors were good, but when you ask for meat you want it to be juicy, smoking, tender, and hot, not warm, or environment temperature... You want it HOT.
The calamari was great; crunchy, not oily at all, and you could taste that the oil was healthy and not used over and over.
The shrimps had a great garlicky sauce that we couldn't stop eating with the bread. Unfortunately, they weren't hot either... (face looking at the side).
I'm really picky when it comes to the temperature of the food because I love to eat calmly, and because I think everybody deserves satisfaction when they are paying for a service. But when you know your dish has been sitting down it makes you wonder if it belonged to another table who rejected it, or if it could be spoiled, or if they don't paid attention to the customers satisfaction.
I would give them another chance because I liked the amount of food they give, and because the problem was timing.
