The staff were very professional and attentive. We were treated like kings. Think they don't get too many Americans here, and they definitely rolled out the red carpet. All you had to do is look up, and one of the very attentive staff immediately noticed and were at your service. Would give the, 6 stars for service alone.
Food: what a massive (and delicious) feast. The day were were there, they had only a feijoada buffet. Starts with a huge salad bar. On the side had a table with thinly sliced prosciutto, olives, and hard cheese. Servers also brought various delicious breads and sausages to table. Then the feijoada buffet. It's a traditional bean and rice dish, where you add various meat in sauce toppings. Too many different choices of meats, but I tried them all, except the pig ear. The owner stood by and made sure to offer assistance if needed. A true host. You can tell he is proud of his establishment and maintains very high standards. Even the chef (owner's son) came out to make sure diners were having a great dining experience.
Then a massive dessert table. And everything was delicious. On top of that, the waiter brought a papaya fruit purée thing with a liquor added. Refreshing.
Ambiance: a perfect blend of trendy upscale casual with old world charm. Clean, very clean, very nice, top everything.
If you are in São Paulo, you must come here. Can't wait to come back.
