We were very eager to try Argentinian food! The food is very good, the service was quick, the…read moreatmosphere was nice, the music and entertainment was phenomenal. So why only 3 stars?
When we got our bill, it had a handwritten line at the bottom adding over $R20 to our total. When asked what it's for the server stated it is for his service and for the musical entertainment. Now I am American so I am very used to tipping, and usually tip much more than this anyways, and was planning on leaving more than they'd asked for. But it felt very bold to handwrite it on my bill. It really felt like they were taking advantage of me because I am not Brazilian and couldn't argue back in their language. If this is a standard expectation that they add gratuity and payment for live music then it should A) be noted on the menu and B) be a printed item on the check, not a handwritten scribble.
Campos do Jordão has so much to offer, but I can't recommend this restaurant because of how rude they were for the bill.
