If you're not a big eater like me, you could ask for smaller portions or split a single piece with whoever you're there with. They actually came so often we had to decline some rounds (praying for a bigger appetite in my next life). For drinks, we ordered pineapple and passion fruit smoothie. The sweetness of the pineapple smoothie was mild and pleasant. The passion fruit was quite tart (which is exactly what my boyfriend likes). Honorable mention out goes to the yuca fries. Aside from the meat, that was my favorite thing from their buffet bar. The restaurant does get quite loud due to how small it is, but the staff were enthusiastic and helpful. I hate to say it, but the interior felt a tad run down. The place could really benefit a lot with some minor touch ups (a coat of paint, fixing the door hinges, etc).

You get a small card with a picture of a cow and what part of beef you're eating. We affectionately called it a meat map. The salad bar is quite carb heavy (in true Brazilian style!), complete with feijoada. I've had better, but this place is about meat on swords! not stew. Its the morning after, and I can't breathe. Also, I may avoid meat in the coming days. Would go again!

Let's start by saying this was not a Brazilian restaurant, but a place with portuguese owners, chef and waitress. My friend ordered a normal brazilian dish with picanha, rice, beans and farofa and I ordered a Pastel de frango com requeijão. It took at least 40 minutes for our food to be ready. My friend's steak was so hard it was impossible to even cut thru it. The rice was undercooked and beans were tasteless. The pastel was actually pretty good. Owner and waitress were very rude and unpolite. Go at your own risk.

The staff is very friendly and will make you feel nicely welcome, like a typical Brazilian would always do :-). Ow, and I almost forgot, they also broadcast the important football tournaments.

We were seated on a bench around a fireplace with no table, along with other patrons. You eat with a tray on your lap. The menu is simple - a variety of appetizers, couple of soups, a section for fish, and a section for steak and spare ribs. They also had a wine menu. We both ordered the spare ribs - him with a side of potato and me with a side of vegetables. The food arrived pretty quickly. The portions were large. The spare ribs were nicely sauced, fall off the bones tender, and absolutely delicious. The potatoes and vegetables tasted just as good. Prices were very reasonable.

The pace of service and the rest of the dishes could be improved though. The food was ok-ish. For example, the meats were of good quality, but they were cooked in too much gravy and were served with bland tasting vegetables. Also the cocottes had good tasting mushrooms, but the sauce was overwhelming. The place itself is very welcoming and the staff very friendly. The owner/chef came to our table for a very friendly chat. It has a very intimate and relaxed atmosphere. However, the service is incredibly slow. It took 25 minutes before our drink orders were taken and we received the menu, 35 minutes to place our order and only 75 minutes after arriving did we have our first course. And the restaurant was not very crowded. Feels like this should be improved.

I got lucky with this place because they had a table for four on a friday evening! The place is a super charming tiny little place, old school dutch style. And I loved how every table has a candle on it. While browsing the menu we had a plate of bread with a herring pate and olive oil placed down. The bread was delicious and the herring pate, even better! We all decided to get the four course surprise menu which was 32.40 i believe. Each course was delicious. All the meats were cooked and marinated perfectly (I have photos attached to this review of each course). I recommend all of them and it was hard deciding which one was my favorite. I don't think this place is traditional brazilian but brazilian inspired and they did a good job doing their twist on it. Service was also efficient and friendly especially for being a full house! The only reason I can't give them 5 stars is because we all felt the portion sizes were a bit on the small side. The guys at our table left hungry. I was on the edge of still hungry. Also we ordered more bread for our table since we knew the plates weren't going to fill us up. We got charged for each extra bread basket we received. I would also recommend this place for a nice romantic dinner. Dark walls, charm & candlelight.. you can't go wrong!
