The portion was huge. Enough to share. It doesn't come with any sides and so I ordered some rice to complement it Wish they had other hot sauce options different from Tabasco. I'll certainly come back to try a different meal from their large food menu. I also had one of their burgers and it was pretty tasty. There are a lot of restaurants and bars that close on Mondays and this is one of the few that stay open all week long. Great atmosphere. The end.

Guarita Bar - the new kid on the block with some solid names at the helm - Jean Ponce ex-bartender…read morefrom the only 2-Michelin star restaurant in Brazil, D.O.M. controls the bar and Gregor Caisley, from Twelve Bistro, manages the kitchen - these 2 names anywhere raise expectations ! I went to Guarita the first time while it was in soft opening, the kitchen was not in operation but the bar was fully operational. Jean Ponce, besides being the great bartender, is one of the most welcoming hosts - he really makes you feel at home and all of a sudden you are part of the family. The first time around I tried his signature 'Rabo de Galo' and the classic Negroni - both drinks are well prepared, with good ingredients and hand-crafted crystal clear huge ice cubes. One interesting thing that Jean told me is that he will used different types of glassware to serve the same drink - keeping it casual but at the same time the quality of the cocktail served should be consistent with their standards. The second time around, Guarita was fully operational and I decided to give the food menu a try. I orders the pork belly sandwich and trust me when I say this - it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever tasted - spiced pork belly with thin slices of cucumber and some coriander make it a gem in the menu. Since greed has no limits, I shared a pizza with my friend and once again the kitchen deserves full points - the food at Guarita is really spectacular. I tried a 3 lime lemon caipirinha with some good 'ol cachaça and Jean's caipirinha fame is well deserved. So if I had such a good time, why do I give Gurita 4 stars - the drinks are good but Boca de Ouro and Negroni (2 similar priced bars) are better..and there Guarita drops a star. I love the laid back ambience, the quick service and Jean Ponce is one of the best hosts - definitely a place to return !

Obviously inspired by bars that serve excellent food in the US, these guys do it better. The food is top-notch. I tried the jalapeño poppers, arancini, bruschetta, and ceviche. All were well prepared, honest food. They have a full bar and know how to make a good cocktail. The atmosphere is hip without trying too hard. Nicely laid out. Although it is s big place, it feels intimate. The service is on point. From initial greeting to the end. One thing that might be new for those visiting from the US is that they give you a card with a number at the beginning which acts as your tab. At the end of the night you pay and he gives you another card to give at the door as you leave. This system is accurate, works well, and allows you to move around from lounging at a table or couch to the bar. My only complaints is that it's not close to my home in Boston. Bravo!
