This place is one of those nice places on Larchmere which I think can really be a gem as the years go on.
We attended a birthday party here- sat in the back patio, which they had heaters for us, and even blankets for us, as it was getting chillier than we thought. It was such a cute set-up and it's a cute restaurant.
The food, overall, was cooked well- with lots of flavorful spices. For those who want the whole meat on a stick experience, they have that too- it looked delicious, but I didn't get a chance to try it.
I ordered the ensopada de porco, which was a very good sized dish, with pork, plantains, and rice. The overall flavor was great, although I did think if I was cooking it, I would cook the pork less, to make it less tough. He got the Moqueca Baiana, the vegetarian option, and it was delicious. It was almost like a curry, with such intense flavors and it was just really really good- I wish I would have ordered that dish instead.
The overall consensus from our group of 17 was that the food was really good. They can host large parties well (which is nice), and the food came out hot and fresh and oh so flavorful. I definitely would come back here to try more of the menu- it's definitely worth the stop if you're in Larchmere.
