    Had dinner here and was pretty impressed with the menu selection. Not only is there a large variety of items to include salads, pasta, meats, rice, and more, but almost every on the menu is gluten free and many items are vegan friendly. Staff is friendly and attentive, din in area nice, and food is great. Also, you got to love the name of the restaurant (I had to listen to "The Girl From Ipanema" by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Frank Sinatra). Overall, we had a great dining experience.

    Picanha Biro

    I was here for a birthday dinner with a large group of 20 people. This restaurant was one of the very few that would accommodate such a large group without booking a private room. I ordered a glass of house Cabernet Sauvignon and the picanha biro. The picanha biro was delicous. The meat was cooked perfectly. The collard greens were garlicky and delicious. The rice was also delicious and I enjoyed the crunchy pieces of potato sticks sprinkled on top. My boyfriend ordered the feijoada which he said was really good. Again, collard greens were super tasty and meat was very flavorful and well cooked. The food didn't take too long to come out and everyone received their meal at the same time. Also since we were celebrating a birthday, the restaurant provided complimentary cakes for our group! One chocolate, one vanilla (both cakes were able to serve over 20 people. Plus there was extra!) Overall we had a great experience here and it was a wonderful place for a large group birthday dinner.

    We came here to celebrate my SIL's graduation. We both got the passionfruit juice, which wasn't too tart and very refreshing. I had trouble deciding, but ended up getting the churrasquinho misto, which was a skewer with beef, chicken, pork, and sausage. It came with white rice, veggies, and a couple of sauces. The meats were dry, so I didn't enjoy this dish very much. We shared carne de sol com mandioca, which was sun-dried beef and fried yuca on separate plates. The beef was basically sausage with onions. We also had some cute little baguettes. Others got pasta, paella, and lamb chops. For dessert, we got a chocolate cake, passionfruit mousse, and a brigadeiro de colher com sorvete e amendoim. This was like a parfait consisting of a chocolate bar served with vanilla ice cream and peanuts. Overall, the food was okay and so was the service.

    A very tasty restaurant in Adams Morgan! The interior is beautiful, and the service is very good. The food is pricey and not quite as good as I'd hope. The shrimp brochette was $10 for that small plate, and the chicken could have been more tender. The lettuce was a little wet as well. But the flavors were amazing! I loved the thick salad dressing and the delicious black bean soup. This is a great space for large groups and had many open tables on a Monday night.

    Excellent service, great menu options and perfect for large groups. We were a group of 10. We made it more family style. We ordered multiple tapas and 8 entrees. We came in hungry and left very satisfied. We also brought our own wine. It was a $15 corkage fee. Feijoada-deli-delicious and generous portions. Cheese bread-yumm! Brazilian Paella-different, but tasty Steaks- it had a good flavor but wasn't very tender. We pretty much ordered everything on their menu. I'm just stating the standouts from our evening. It was our daughters's bday, initially they passed out the dessert menu only to take it back and bring a huge baked Alaska. Enough for everyone at our table to share! It's the little things that make come back :)

    This was a nice trip back to Brazil. I had a hard time choosing what to order as it's difficult to find the menu items found here anywhere else in the US. The restaurant is a little on the classier side. Definitely a great date spot. I decided on the caldo de feijao for a hot bowl of soup because it was freezing outside. The flavor was so good and immediately reminded me of the feijoada I had back in São Paulo. I also ordered the salada verde which was decent with romaine lettuce and a creamy dressing that was okay. For my entree I had the Bisteca de contra file (ribeye steak) with mixed vegetables. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Wonderful experience here, I would definitely recommend.

    Salmso ao Molho de Maracuja
    Stephanie P.

    Enjoyed a relaxing evening on the patio trying out the Brazilian food. The server told us the background behind the restaurant and was helpful in making the selections. I ordered the national cocktail, caipirinha, which seemed to be a blend of a margarita and mojito without the mint. I found it a bit bitter and sour, so it is definitely not a sweet cocktail. The coxinha gallina was crispy on the outside and had a nicely flavored chicken on the inside. The abacate maraja was a delightful blend of avocado, shrimp and a mayonnaise style dressing. I enjoyed my salamo maracuja with the sweet passion fruit glaze. They were able to accommodate my request to switch out the rice for black beans as that is my preference. The vegetable side was nicely buttered and sautéed. We would like to come again sometime.

    It's a beautiful restaurant located in Adams Morgan. The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant and although busy, the service was good. I would love to give this place a higher rating because I had high expectations for the food based on other reviews; however, to my party's of five dismay, the food was NOT GOOD. To whom it may concern, Your marquee says, "authentic Brazilian food," but what you served was nothing of the sort. The portions were generous but the food was out right bland and Brazilian food is far from bland. Definitely not worth the over $500 worth of food and beverage we spent. I even asked our server if the chef was Brazilian, and he confirmed the chef was not Brazilian. The lack of flavor in the stews we ordered was offensive. We even had to send a rack of lamb back to the kitchen because the temp was done wrong--why would you serve a well done rack of lamb when we asked for medium? And even the lamb lacked a good sear and even the taste of basic salt and pepper. Huge disappointment. The only dish that was tasty was the paella, which was extremely cilantro forward.

    Cake for Birthdays

    if you want the vibe of an all inclusive 2 star resort I'd recommend here.... - it took us awhile to put our finger on the vibe but the booth we were sitting in with the same pattern upholster as my local dentist office and the large portions of extremely mid and overpriced food led us to feel we were in an all inclusive restaurant at perhaps a theme park - the waiters themselves were very kind and they accommodate large parties (will even split the check many many many ways) and do free big birthday so the service is a win. great staff - however the food.... All my friends who ordered steaks....considering it's a brazialian restaurant... reported they were extremely disappointed with the meat quality. dry and flavorless yet somehow still pulling off fat chucks of fat. I'm not going to lie the meat was honestly gray in color. - the chicken dish, Frango Cabo Frio, I ordered was a total safe bet and the sauce was great. but the vegetables were clearly cooked in a cheap oil and the chicken itself lacked any flavor and was dry despite being underneath a cream sauce - the paella was beautiful but overpriced, double the quality can be found at Boqueria Barcelona jaleo so save yourself this order - I will not be returning but if for some reason you do, get the "cheese bread" and add the spicy sauce, bc it's a glorified cheese curd (it's a ball, not a piece of bread) with a fun texture

Our water glasses were rarely empty. Service was kind. Food wise if I were to stack rank I would say the hummus is the best of what we ordered. The pita bread is thick and garlicky and oily and massive. The croquettes would be at the bottom of my list simply because they're dissimilar from any I've had before and a little bit underwhelming. The tuna was fresh but it's a small dish and not much to write home about. The lamb skewers have a subtle kick to them and they're pretty substantial. I'll definitely be back to try more! Highly recommend on a warm summer day as you're covered by the canopy above, if you're looking for a rooftop vibe.

We grabbed a seat and did not wait long for our food to come out. I really enjoyed my burger and scarfed it down! I paid for sauces, which were tiny and super overpriced. Hubs enjoyed his cheesesteak but he prefers meat. I had a bite and thought it was really flavorful and very closely tasting like the real thing. I noticed later this is a chain, which is pretty cool. I think the prices were pretty steep so I might skip on the fries next time. The food could have been warmer as well. Definitely worth a visit and will most likely be back when in DC again.

Now that I no longer reside in the DC area, I use every visit to eat my faves and occasionally a new spot. So, after another popular (and cheaper) Italian place closed before I could finish my delivery order, I spotted L'Ardente. I ordered the famous Lasagna - their 40-layer specialty - with short rib sugo, truffle mornay, and Sottocenere Cheese. The truffle mornay added a smooth, melty, creamy cheese sauce. It is good, but I am not sure if it is worth the hype at $40 lagnasa. I think the cost is built into the work but not the flavor profile. I think the meal is better without the sauce - it made it too salty with it.
