Great happy hour place. Inside is modern and pretty. Nice for a date…read more I've been there twice now in a close time period. The happy hour food is maybe better for two people to share unless you order many plates for a bigger group. I tried most of the dishes and most enjoyed the pao de quejio with pulled pork and rice croquettes. Everything was pretty solid though. Overall food was tasty, and my favorite cocktail there is the Morena. Staff were nice.

Sat at the bar since I was a little early and was still waiting for my other half to arrive , enjoyed an amazing guava caipirinha and the great company of Mayara ( the bartender) . She also made us some traditional caipirinhas and a Moscow mule that was on point . I could honestly say at that bar all day since she was so friendly and welcoming . We were then seated at our table and our waitress Lais was also so nice and helpful , she made sure we had everything we needed . We had the picanha experience and the moqueca de camarao . Both so good , well seasoned and served with an awesome presentation . For dessert we ordered the brigadeiro and being that I am 100% Brazilian from Rio de Janeiro I was a bit disappointed by that . The sprinkles were missing :( even tho the consistency was good . They also brought a little cake out with a candle and that was such a special touch . I was told they have weekend events and live music upstairs , so I will definitely look into that in the near future . All is all it was a great experience and I highly recommend this place , let me not forget to mention the classy decor and great vibe ..

Brazilian BBQ buffet! The restaurant has a great atmosphere and good service. You'll get a sign,…read morewhen the meat is ready, they'll bring it to your table. Flip the sign to green if you want more, or red if you don't. The meat is fresh (at least the grilled chicken thighs I had were tender with crispy, juicy skin). I saw on Xiaohongshu that many people complained the meat was too salty, but maybe it varies by location. Overall, the Brooklyn spot paired with salad isn't overwhelming. The best dish was the filet! When we went right at opening, it seemed like there was a strategy to serving: they started with cheaper cuts, and only after we were nearly full did they bring the pricier filet , which can get heavy quickly. After one round, we were pretty full! Friends, save some appetite--it's better to come with a bigger group. The three of us asked them to cut the meat into just two pieces each time to avoid getting tired of it too fast. The salad bar is self-serve and unlimited. If you come for lunch and only eat salad, the buffet seems to be just $18? Pretty good deal. We had lunch at $49 per person (basically all the meat included). They have multiple buffet tiers, with different prices for lunch and dinner. For seafood, lunch is $69 per person (includes lobster, crab cake, roasted bone marrow, etc.). We felt we couldn't eat that much, so we didn't choose it. Dinner is more expensive, so lunch is definitely the better value!

Yuca cake 8/10 the cake was dense (in a good way) with great accompaniments and a very lite coconut finish. Worth a try. Chicken croquettes 10/10 phenomenal. Fried to perfection and not to mention the perfect ratio of ingredients to dough. The star was the homemade hot sauce !!! Tuna tartare 9/10 lite and delicious and was happy with the many textures. Loved! Pao De Alho 100000/10 which is homemade cheese bread with a garlic cream, I'm still thinking about this dish til this day Brasa 8/10 very tasty although I did feel the meat was slightly overcooked (we ordered medium came out slightly over) but the creamed corn I enjoyed and wish the acidity from the chimi was more prominent Bobo de camarão 8/10 a shrimp dish with this almost pumpkin puree. Arroz de costela 10/10 perfectly cooked pieces of tender short rib served on top of this slightly moist rice that has black eyed pea...out of this world! Yuca fries 10/10 get them for the table Drinks were strong, and authentic. Our server Franklin was knowledgeable and had the warmest energy, which made our experience even more worth while. I'll be adding this spot to my "FAVES" list.

Beeimbau is good, but inconsistent for my tastes. I stopped by to order to go and the small…read morerestaurant seemed nearly at capacity on a Saturday night. It's cozy inside, but you would not want a table bear the front door during the colder months, unless they hang a curtain to cut the incoming draft. The decor is warm and the lighting mood is just right, perfect for a date, but not so dark that you cannot read the menu. There is no bar seating here and they make the drinks at a station to the left as you walk in. I imagine they make good caiparinhas here, but careful with them, because they sneak up on you. If you plan to order from the restaurant to go, there is no place to sit and wait for your order. It's a small restaurant and there's a back section too where I saw people walk back for their reservations. The kitchen sits in the open behind a counter midway through the restaurant, which is confidence inspiring. I ordered the Moqueca and Feijoada, two very common stew dishes of Brazil. I'll start with the black bean and rice based Feijoada, which has beef and smoked pork and you actually taste the smoke. There are collards in there in abundance and the collards are cooked perfectly and a good counterpoint to the savory quality of Feijoada. The cuts of meat; however, were not on par with a dish priced over forty bucks and the taste and consistency of this dish are not quite what I have experienced in Brazil. Perhaps that is not a fair comparison here in NYC, but Berimbau hit it right with the Moqueca. The Moqueca is excellent. The halibut and shrimp were not overcooked and that's a nice piece of halibut too. The mussels were there and not just a couple. The calamari was a tad overcooked, but one expects a little rubberiness with calamari that is not fried. The coconut milk based broth is seasoned well and the dende or palm oil is irreplaceable as a rich addition to the broth. If they serve bread with the sit down service, I would be tempted to clean the bowl if the rice doesn't absorb it all. It's a fragrant dish, presents very well, and it's so good! If anyone reads my reviews, you will know I don't grade on a curve and it's difficult to achieve anything over four stars in my reviews. If Moqueca is all I ate, I would ease Berimbau over four stars, but the Feijoada pulls it down to 3.7 stars.

She gave amazing recommendations on what to order for both food and drinks and had such a pleasant personality, which really made the night special. Our table ordered a bunch of appetizers to share, and the portions were perfect. We started with the cucumbers, which were super refreshing and flavorful. Definitely get the crispy rice -- every version was great, but the crab and salmon tartare were the table's favorites. For crudo, we got both the yellowtail and the salmon, and the yellowtail was so good we had to order a second round. The skewers were also a hit. Each one comes with its own sauce depending on the meat or veggie, and they come three pieces per skewer, with a minimum order of three. We tried the beef, chicken, and eggplant, all cooked perfectly. We ordered all three desserts. Our favorite was the crêpe cake. Definitely order this. The space itself is beautiful, and at 10 PM it transforms into a lounge with hookah, a dance floor, and a live DJ.
