We sat in there inside/outside area and there was so much natural light! It took a while for someone to come and take our order. And I mean it took a while, but I am noticing that is just the Rio culture. So don't take it personal lol! The food was great! Really reminded me of America! Will definitely be back!

The night we were there they had live music and it would be good to have reservations on such nights.

So I just ordered a "ultimate trio", it is sort of a sampler, where you get to choose 3 appetizers. I got the mozzarella sticks, sliders and nachos. It is a nice starter for 2 people. Overall I had a nice experience, although service was a bit slow. Would like to eat here again with more time, so I could wait for a table inside and be able to dig deeper into their menu.

Wow - I mean wow! Great food and plenty of it at a reasonable price! The chef is the owner and…read morepride is taken in everything about this place! If you are in Rio de Janeiro, then find this place and eat the food that warms your heart completely!
