We were there on a Monday night and it was filled pretty good; we kept our waiters very busy (large group of ~20 people but they handled it pretty well - caipirinhas and some of the food took a title long to arrive but that's a minor gripe). Note that there are two parts to the bar; the side to the right is probably best as that's were the kitchen is and the walls are adorned with a great number of paraphernalia.
