Chicken Parmesan? We ordered two; this is what we got. I would be ashamed to serve this.

Terrible experience. Long wait to order. Then the waiter comes back to tell us they are out of Pastel de Quiejo. Then we try to order pizza. Out of pizza. Ordered a palmito salad and received a tray where someone dumped palmito out of the jar or can....ummmm, ok. We ordered two Chicken Parmesan and received two completely different looking dishes, both worse than mediocre. With the extremely long wait and, frankly, the inedible looking food, it was insulting to bring such dishes out to customers. We saw MANY people arrive, sit and wait and leave because of how long they had to wait. One man and his wife got up angry and left after the long wait and mediocre food. The man who I think was the owner was apologetic, explaining that since it was Jan 1, many staff didn't come to work, and those who came were hungover, etc. Ok...I appreciate the honesty and explanation. But I think at some point, if you are understaffed and have too many people arriving to eat, then you have to make a decision: close for the rest of the day instead of providing mediocre food, Or create a reduced menu that you can manage with a smaller staff... Who was cooking anyways??? There is no way a trained cook could have made such unappetizing dishes. They tried to offer us something different, but again, after such a long wait to receive something so disgusting looking.... We paid for our bottle of wine and left to eat at Galeto Sat's

Great live bossa nova music every night. You do have to pay an entrance fee to watch the live performances but they were worth it. Eri Galvão was great. He played before the main band but we enjoyed him more. He explained the origin of some songs and shared some great stories about Tom Jobim and other musicians. He also made an effort to translate for those that did not speak any Portuguese. The place was empty when we arrived (around 9pm) and by 10pm almost every table was taken. The food was ok. Nothing to die for. I would go again just for the music.

When your favourite bar or club closes, Emporio will be open. Small/busy/dirty inside with rock…read moremusic and unfriendly service. BUT you have the option to buy drinks on the street and enjoy Rio's mornings. Very alternative crowd, not the place to go if you like good looking people.

If you're looking for a nightcap, this is your best bet…read more The setup is kind of weird. You can go inside and order drinks off the menu (including draft beer), or you can go outside and order the bottles of beer that they have there. But you can't do both from inside, unless you're seated by the ledge and lean over. Another strange thing is that you have to tell the cashier what you want, pay, and then she'll tell the bartender. If you just tell the bartender he won't do anything but look at you funny. This system doesn't work very well because you'll see lines forming for the cashiers while the bartenders sit around waiting to make a drink. Is it that hard to pour a draft beer? You know someone else is going to order one. It gets packed and seems to attract the American frat boy type, though I don't know why. The music is good and loud and the crowd spills out onto the street, where you have to be careful because it attracts some shady characters. Expect to smell pot. It has a lot of character and is definitely unique, but bottom line, if every other place was closed I might come here. So would everyone else.
