Found this place because of great yelp reviews when I was visiting Miami for the day. Restaurant wasn't busy when we walked in so the ambience was nice. It was my partner's first time trying Brazilian food so we were excited to try different items on the menu. First off, I want to say that the food was amazing. Truly mouthwatering flavors and textures of both the appetizer and entrees. Now for the negative and the only part of the experience that was a major disappointment. The service by the waitstaff was truly awful. Ordering food took so long and it took forever just to get a glass of water. When it came time to check out, our server seemed to avoid us when I looked around and even raised my hand to ask for the check. I finally had to stand up from my table and go back to the bussing station to ask someone to deliver the check. Well it was very disappointing to see that the bill had already included a 18% service tip for our server. Now the service made sense, no matter how attentive or not the servers are-they'll get a pretty great tip regardless. This was a disappointing end to an otherwise fabulous tasting meal. I don't think the kitchen should suffer for the lack of front of house service so I would recommend trying this place still but maybe get your meal to go!

What's not to love! Little Brazil is amazing, serving up truly authentic Brazilian food. The dadinhos de tapioca were delicious, and the pepper jelly made the perfect dipping sauce! I usually don't eat pork, but the Linguiça Com Mandioca (Brazilian sausage with yucca) was unbelievable, especially with the chimichurri sauce. It was so good that my boyfriend and I came back the next day. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're leaving the beach!

This place was absolutely amazing! I celebrated my 35th birthday with a party of 9, including 4 little ones under 10, and it was a blast. The food was incredible, especially the risotto, and the atmosphere was super intimate. The service staff was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. We had such a great first experience that we came back multiple times during our vacation.

If you're craving some Brazilian food, this is the spot. Everything was extremely tasty and delicious. The beans was out of this world. It's been a while since I hade such a good Brazilian food. Tastes like home! Don't forget to order churros!!

Hidden gem in North Bay Village serving tasty Brazilian dishes. As we walked in, the place is inviting and cozy. The servers also greeted us with a smile. Ordered the Dadinhos de Tapioca to start. These fried cheese cubes were very savory. First time trying them and I'm hooked. We also got the Sauteed Garlic Shrimp. It was delightful. That garlic sauce is perfect to dip the bread. For the main courses, I got the Grilled Picanha of course cause I love meat :) It was perfectly cooked and juicy. Also came with farofa and rice and beans. My friend Jojo got the Bife Piemontese which are beef strips on white creamy mushroom rice similar to risotto. So delish. For the finale, we shared the Profiterole. Wow! What a presentation! Served on our table, this tower of frozen puffs was a sight to see when our server poured the melted chocolate brigadeiro. Absolutely divine! Awesome place to dine with your friends and family. It's casual and affordable and the food is delicious. Good portions too.

Very authentic Brazilian food. Pão de queijo was yummy! We ordered picanha, rice, beans, farofa, vinagrete, chicken stroganoff and bife a cavalo. Everything was delicious. I definitely recommend and we will be back!

Traveling to Brazil has been on my bucket list for YEARS. My favorite way to mentally transport there? With picanha with (a few) caipirinhas! This weekend I stopped by this foodie haven to order my go-to dishes (and a few new ones, of course.) Little Brazil comes highly recommended -- be sure to stop by on their karaoke nights to try your luck at some of Brazil's most loved songs. Must-haves include: Caipirinha, Brazil's national cocktail, made with cachaça, sugar, and lime. Red Sangria Dadinhos de Tapioca, tapioca and cheese fried cubes with red pepper jelly Pichana Steak with rice, beans, farofa and vinaigrette Fraldinha Grelhada Steak with fries and heart of palm sauce

A little pricey due to location. Food is good and servers are welcoming. Some items on the menu can be a little ridiculous. $7 for a coke or an empanada (pastel). Indoor and outdoor seating available. There is also a parking lot a block away.

Stumbled upon this precious Brazilian spot next to our hotel a few weeks ago. We have been trying to find Brazilian food as good since! Great ambiance with live music, lots of menu choices, and delicious food!

Every time we come here we fall in love with this place all over again! The food is always fresh and incredibly delicious, the ambience is just right and the staff is so friendly! We ordered the kibe frito, absolutely delicious as always. The lemonade never disappoints. For the entree we ordered the Picanha and shared it and still had some for later. The rice and beans were yummy too! Make sure you get their delicious profiteroles for dessert because they are perfect to end your meal

I dine at Fogo de Chão about once a month back home in Georgia, so I already had high expectations, but the level of service here truly exceeded anything I've experienced before. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. Manager Sergio was incredibly attentive and made sure everything ran seamlessly throughout our visit. It's clear he takes great pride in his team and the guest experience. Our server, Manuel, was top-notch--professional, friendly, and always one step ahead of our needs. Brandon also stood out with his attentiveness and positive energy, consistently checking in and ensuring we were well taken care of. And Marisabel at the cashier was the perfect finishing touch--warm, efficient, and genuinely kind. The food was just as impressive as the service. The meats were flavorful, well-seasoned, and perfectly prepared. What really stood out was how accommodating the gaucho chefs were when they learned that I prefer my cuts a bit more well done. Without hesitation, they made sure to bring options cooked exactly to my liking, which made the experience feel personalized and thoughtful. Overall, this location sets a new standard. Between the exceptional service, the high-quality food, and the attention to detail, this Miami Beach Fogo de Chão delivers an experience that goes above and beyond. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town--and honestly, I wish my home location in Georgia could match this level of excellence! Fyi: They will be relocating to Lincoln!

We spotted Samba Brazil and saw that there was one available parking spot in front of their restaurant! That is rare in Miami Beach so we knew it was a sign to go in! It was the right thing to do! We got there just as they were opening for dinner so it was empty, which we didn't mind because it was quiet and peaceful after a very stressful day for us both. There was nice Latin music playing and we were greeted quickly by Leticia, who became our server. She was very nice and helpful. Her suggestions were great and we had a delicious dinner! We shared the Picanha steak dinner with rice and beans and sauces. It's $43 for 2 people. We thought that was reasonable. It was cooked to perfection in Medium. Juicy and tender, easy to cut! I also loved the red beans with the rice. Nicely seasoned, not spicy hot, just right. The beans were delicious and the rice was good. We had water for our liquid. For dessert, my daughter had the Churros and I had the Brigadeiros. I had a bite of the churros but it was hard and crunchy so I didnt like it. Maybe it is supposed to be that way but I prefer the soft version. The brigadeiros were out of this world delicious!! Simply perfection! I'm giving 5 stars because of them. We enjoyed our first visit here and will be back soon. It is not too far from our neighborhood. Leticia was wonderful as our server. If you get the chance, you should try this place!

I went with a dear friend for his birthday at Nossa on Thursday and had an amazing time. The entire…read moreexperience was definitely one to remember. The environment of the restaurant is dark and mysterious, edgy and luxurious, which elevated my anticipation of the meal to come. The complimentary glass of champagne was a nice welcome. When it was time to dine, all the guests for the evening were led down a low lit hallway to the dining room. When the frosted glass doors slid open, they revealed a beautiful chef's table situated in the center of the room. All the lighting, colors, and decoration point your eyes toward the chef as if he was on a stage. The restaurant is small, only a few seats around the table. This was nice because you get to know about your fellow guests. Everyone in attendance was so fun and personable. Now for the food. I will confess, I do not normally even like sushi or crave Asian food of this style. However, I loved every dish that was served to me. They hit all the senses - sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. Other reviews have gone into detail about the various dishes and how good they are so I don't need to. I just want to echo those points and simply express gratitude to the chef for opening my horizons to enjoy these dishes I would not normally have. The showmanship is just right. The chef jokes with the guests and shows off his techniques but there is nothing kitschy or cliché about it. If anyone is concerned about that, let me allay your fears. There were three birthdays being celebrated that night, one of which was my friend's. The restaurant treated us all with a delicious coconut ice cream topped with caviar and finished with a cloud of gold dust. Seeing my friend light up from the gold dust finish made me so happy. Everyone who had a birthday walked away feeling extra special. Finally, a word about cocktails. The Japanese whiskey old fashioned was stunningly good. I had two of them. They source some very old and rare Japanese whiskeys to make their cocktails so they were certainly special. Would I recommend Nossa to others? Absolutely! They limit reservations to a max of two people so go with a close friend or loved one on a special occasion. It was be an experience you both remember and cherish.

Highlights: * Ultra luxury Omakase…read more* Starting at $295+++ per person * An exciting and exclusive experience dinner and a culinary "Show" Omakases in the Miami area have become almost as common to find as Lamborghinis and Ferraris on South Beach lately and high end venues where you can easily beg for the right to pay in advance and spend over $1,000 ++ per couple for dinner with wine or sake, tax, tip and extras, are becoming quite common. If you're going to drop a grand or two for dinner you are 1. Looking for something really special, 2. Want great food, great service and a special experience, 3. Can afford it or at least for a special occasion. I can't speak to your budget but Nossa, which means "Wow" in Portuguese will provide you with a very unique experience, a "Wow". You pay for a non refundable meal on Tock, in advance. Tax, tip, beverages and extras will be paid onsite later. There are only 15 or so spots per night, 6-8 per seating. Be sure to pay attention to the email instructions. You must arrive in advance (not Miami time). Part of the fun is finding the place. You are directed to a small poke shop where it looks like you're in the wrong place. You ask the cashier for instructions. He hands you an envelope with your name on it. You open it up and it tells you how to find Nossa. There is a secret hidden entrance close by and they will ask you the password before allowing you in. The secret door opens to a small speakeasy type bar with silent movies playing on the wall and you are offered a complimentary glass of bubbles (Prosecco). You are later escorted into a beautiful room, black with red lights, Japanese lanterns, jellyfish art, a large open kitchen and a custom semi circular marble dining counter with a spot light over each guests service area, where you and a few other guests (8 total maximum) will enjoy watching the night's preparations served directly in front of you. Depending on the theme of the night the focus might be on fish, wagyu, caviar, sake or whiskey matching. Chef Max Kamakura of Brazilian and Japanese background starts the show. Expect a lot of smoke, fire and showmanship as he creates 13 or more courses for you. On our visit in August the focus was Wagyu A5, see photo of menu. We had 7 different Wagyu preparations (oyster, tartare, smoking sando, tataki, Shabu shabu, uni, lemon and chasola), with 4 nigiris and dessert. We also took them up on several additional nigiris which were $20 each ++ per person extra, adds up. There is a small wine and sake list or corkage is available for wine collectors. I found it interesting that Nossa ages their own fish. Yes certain fish can be aged if you know what your doing. And like prime dry aged beef the fish can gain amazing complexity. We tried some aged fish next to fresh and it was quite surprising. Chef Kamakura uses an array of special cooking gadgets, smokers, and at times it looks like the lab of a mad scientist or a magician. When he's done you are served in an array of unique and attractive dishes. Nossa is not for everyone, but if you're an adventurous foodie who can handle Michelin prices and are looking for a unique experience then Nossa is for you.

We were so surprised and impressed by the service, quality, value, and execution of food. Alberto was our main waiter who was supported by additional staff who were friendly and attentive- simply professional and hospitable. We tried the ham croquettes, melted cheese with chorizo, and fried calamari for starters; and the tomahawk, rib eye, and picana steaks as our mains. The croquettes were so delicious with two dipping sauces- the green herbal one was a perfect pairing. The melted cheese was excellent, prepared and presented in a cast iron skillet with crisp edges. The fried calamari was delightful as well with large fresh pieces and accompanied by fried zucchini chips amidst the calamari. The stars of the show were the meats that were prepared just the way we wanted and like. Each person in our group ranked the meats in different order but we loved the taste with the sides- sweet potato fries, regular fries, grilled corn, and the salt and sauces. The meal was better than expected and just what we needed. We left very happy, very satisfied, and very grateful for the experience. Thanks to Alberto and team!
