When I asked how big the moqueca was he used his fingers to say it was a small dish. Of course that was untrue as the dishes delivered was more than 2x what he showed and came with a bunch of sides like a gravy, rice and something else. No explanation given of what they were as he just served everything to me. Given all that I read about moqueca I had high expectations about the dish. However the fish was over cooked and very dry eventhough it was covered in a sauce. The shrimps were better and overall it was a very filling plate. The overcooked fish was a letdown for me. I had a lot of leftovers and asked it to be packed up to go (which I was charged R12 extra for). I struck up a Google Translate conversation with a nurse seated next to me so that was a different way to pass the time as solo diners. I ended up giving my to go bag to share with her family since my hotel had no kitchen facilities. Tab was settled at the table with little explanation of the charges. 10% service charge was added automatically. Overall a very expensive dinner for an average tasting meal at best. I won't be coming back.

They even have a little mini mart attached to the restaurant if you want to take some goodies home with you after your meal. After being seated, I ordered a Brazilian beer and started perusing the large menu. One of the things that annoyed me is that a description isn't given for each entree. So for the ones that aren't obvious, you don't know exactly what's included with the dish. We saw the table sitting next to us eating what looks like a delicious dish so we ordered the same thing. My friend is Brazilian and he speaks Portuguese so he ordered for us. When our food arrived, it was the wrong dish. My friend mentioned this and the waiter seemed annoyed but ultimately brought out the right dish. Despite all of the hiccups, the Brazilian fish, layered between what is similar to a lasagna, was delicious. It doesn't come cheaply though, the entrees here are pretty pricey. While the food was good, the overall experience left some things to be desired.

The service was good too. My husband and I don't speak Portuguese, but Google Translate did a great job! We were able to let our server know that I was expecting, so the dishes we ordered had to be fully cooked. He also recommended this hot fish dish with rice which turned out to be my favorite!!
