We recently came back here for lunch, and the experience made me eat my words from my previous…read morereview. The service was great and the food tasted and was presented very nicely. All our dishes were delicious. The crab appetizer was presented properly, the portions were decent and the taste was just right. For a main course, I had a delicious seafood risotto with squid & crab. My wife had a filet mignon with puree and both were also great. I'm glad I came back, because now I see why they've been open since 1964.

My Brazilian friends took me to this place because I wanted some meat. We ordered Casquinho de Caranguejo, which is crab head shells filled with creamy stuff and crab meat, that was good. And we had one order of Filé Trifasisaco, a steak, for four people. This dish comes with two side-dishes that has some rice and fried bananas. The steak was tender and flavorful. For desert we had Top Hat, which is warm bananas topped with cinnamon and covered with sugar. We also had the caja juice, I have no idea what kind of fruit caja is but the juice is really tasty. The service was good and so was the ambience. Overall, I think this is an excellent restaurant and if you are fresh off the boat in Brazil, you might just like this place.
