I can't believe no one has reviewed this place on Yelp yet! It's is my favorite place to dine in…read moreSJDC. Not just the food but the entire experience. The owner and chef, Adolfo, makes the experience so much awesome. I've eaten at Michelin rate restaurants in Paris and other parts of the world and this place it right up there too. Do try the steak tartare! Try all the specials! I have the duck confit (special) and it was cooked to 3 hrs of perfection. The wine selection is small but I hate going through pages of the wine list at most places anyway. I had a nice Chilean Cab and yeah I know some of the wine snobs may be shocked I didn't go with a white for my duck but I really don't care. Food was great, the small ambiance was delightful,service is top notch and Adolfo definitely has a passion for his food. Do yourself a favor and experience this gem when you're in town. And don't forget to make reservation in advance!

Very bad service. Our dishes took more than 30min, we complained twice, no apologies or…read moreexplanations were given. Overpriced dishes, only ok food and bad service.

This was probably the worst meals we had on our two week Brazil trip. Granted we ordered a simple…read moresalad as a starter, nevertheless, we did expect something a bit more exciting than a large pile of stale lettuce with two tomatoes hiding at the bottom and no salad dressing of any kind. The pizza was entirely ordinary as well with a hard rubbery crust. Apart from the (lack of) food quality, the ambiance wasn't particularly charming either. We spoke only broken Portuguese but certainly didn't deserve the scorn of the wait staff, who were unanimously curt and borderline rude. The kitchen also kept spewing smoke in our direction which caused some serious eye burn. Not exactly sure what they were cooking, err, burning in there. I pity the customers who had to eat it! In sum, find a different place. My cat can make better food. And she's less grumpy to boot!

The pizza is quite good but I would defiantly say easy on the cheese but other than that it is ok…read more English prices.

The owner had seen us having trouble and came out with an umbrella. He let us park in an easy spot across the street and gave us the umbrella so we could keep dry on the walk over. A small but very sincere gesture and the start of a truly magical dining experience! The service was excellent and they helped to get us seated right away. Drinks ordered up and delicious by the way! The apps were unique and very upper end takes on some very simple dishes. Simple and fresh ingredients magically combined! For the main course I could not hold myself. I saw the Rockford gnocchi and had to try it, but I then saw the grilled octopus.... I ordered both and they were both truly amazing. The octopus was truly sublime! I cannot speak highly enough for the service and the quality of the food that we were served. They helped to make a family event truly an exceptional experience!

Pessimo serviço, péssima comida, ambiente sem estilo. Os garçons não sabiam qual prato ou bebida…read moreeram de quem. A comida atrasou bastante. Éramos um grupo de doze e o prato de uma das pessoas não estava disponível, depôs de 1 hora quando perguntamos pediram desculpas que não havia mais e pediram que escolhêssemos outro, o outro prato: Risoto de gorgonzola com carne, a carne veio fria/crua e o Risoto sem gosto. Tivemos que devolver. Uma bagunça total e nem estavam cheios porque era uma segunda feira. Deveríamos haver saído sem pagar. Pagamos e fomos embora, todo o processo demorou mais de 3 horas. Um desperdiço de tempo e dinheiro. Totalmente decepcionada. Estou admirada que tenham 4.6 entre 12 mil avaliações.... Devem estar pagando por avaliações! Impossível
