Had a great seat upstairs and as usual it is kind of loud but not so annoying that you can't talk to the person you're with. The kitchen was a little slow, but our waitress mentioned it ahead of time and that was OK. We tried the Moqueca for two with lobster. It was delicious, a vibrant Brazilian seafood stew, which was rich and creamy and flavorful. We would both definitely order this again. The serving was generous. We had the salgadinhos as an appetizer and they were delicious: three different kinds, cheese, chicken, shrimp. Think of them is like little empanadas and we would order this again. Cocktails were all great as well. Overall, a wonderful dinner! read more

We are here again. This is my favorite restaurant in Chagrin Falls. Treat yourself to several apps, or order dishes that can serve at least two people. We usually order a couple or several according to the number of people. All choices from steak to seafood are delicious. Service is professional. Servers know the dishes. Batuqui is in an old brick house on a hill. There is an elevator from the ground up. We like sitting upstairs. The noise level gets loud, so go early. Guests may be walk in on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and take a chance on being seated. read more

This restaurant is very nice looking and service was warm. However, maybe it was the dish I ordered, Prato Misto, but for a dish that was almost $30 I basically got rice and beans. There wasn't much flavor. Maybe the meat dishes are much better. On the positive side, my friend loves this restaurant. read more

The vibe of this place was so cute. The outside had a beautiful patio to sit and out and the inside felt as if I was in a classy spanish home! I got a seat in the inside with my friend that was very quaint and cute! Servers were all kind and not pushy or annoying when asking about our order. I got the shrimp as an appetizer and it was so delicious. The chicken in the stroganoff did not have the best taste in my opinion but I still think it was pretty good. My friend loved the Carolina's pasta! The presentation of the food and environment were an A for sure - would come here again read more

We ate here once it was good so we came back for a second time yesterday, we had a waiter he said he was new. He asked us what we wanted to drink. We ordered two waters and my husband ordered one soda for himself. He came back with two waters and two glasses and poured the soda into two different glasses and proceeded to tell us no sharing we weren't sure what he meant by this because I never asked for a pop. He was laughing when he said it so we let that one go. We ordered the same thing we got last time which was some kind of chicken stew with rice and coconut milk and peanuts because it was delicious the last time we had it. I made the mistake of telling the waiter that my husband had the chicken stroganoff and that was good too that I had tasted his last time he proceeded to tell me there's no sharing and laughing hysterically. I figured he was just trying to be funny? The last time we came to this restaurant, we had four people the bill was $350 because we ordered all kinds of appetizers and desserts. He overheard this and came to the table and said then I think what you need to do is order the $80 plate since you guys are ordering the same thing and remember there's no sharing then he proceeded to say something else about getting me another Coke if I wanted it and my husband had to correct him several times saying she never ordered a coke if you would have actually listened to what we wanted and stop trying to be a comedian ! Then my husband told him to please just put in our order for 2 dinners and some bread or we were going to leave, he said oh are you serious right now? My husband told him yes I am and you are insulting us with your comments about " sharing " its getting to the point where we may need another waiter he quickly walked away. Someone else brought our food to the table but no bread, my chicken stew had 3 little pieces of chicken in it nothing like we had the 1 st time my husband had to give me some chicken with my stew which was a coconut soup with a little white rice all mixed together not like the last time at all. We finally had to ask for the bread which he brought over. The dinner was terrible, but we didn't want to say anything because we just wanted to get out of there. Our whole dinner was ruined. Here's the thing the waiter seemed very off-balance. something is definitely not right with him. I understand he's new but the way he was speaking with us was unprofessional. Don't try to be a comedian. Read the room. And as for his comments about sharing for the last time when when we were here with our daughter and her boyfriend and spent over $300 for the bill, we can taste whoever's dinner we want to taste! And when you're offering tapwater and four dollars for a can of pop and making comments the way he was, I will never ever step foot in this place again too inconsistent with their food and too many other places to go to. So disappointing. read more

First time at the Chagrin Falls location and it was fantastic. The entrance is very welcoming and homey similar to their Larchmere location with bright colors and light wood tones present throughout. Started with the octopus appetizer special which was served with yuca fries and crispy onions. The octopus was cooked perfectly and was very tender. Yuca fries were soft and lightly fried and delicious. Our main was the key lime chicken. This dish consisted of half a chicken alongside rice and grilled veggies. The chicken was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The rice was wonderful as always. My only suggestion is to drizzle the chicken with sauce as the breast meat was a bit dry. My only complaint was our service was a bit slow. Our water was never replenished and the waitress was rarely seen. I love Batuqui and will be back because it is very unique and the cooking is high quality. read more

Came here after visiting another restaurant for their happy hour. Wasn't quite ready to go home, so after a walk around the downtown Falls area, we landed here. Very lively for a Thursday night (all restaurants in the area were packed!). It already isn't very large since it was formerly a historic home. We opted to sit at the bar since we just wanted drinks. The bartender was busy but very sweet. My husband ordered a caiparinha, and I ordered the coconut batidinha. I was not a huge fan of my drink, but it was boozy, and that made me happy. We did order ceviche, which was much more liquid due to the amount of lime juice than I expected. It was, however, very fresh, and we enjoyed it. I can't speak at all to the food but do hope to return to check out the dinner menu options. Everyone we came across who worked there was very kind and personable. read more

We made a reservation to visit this establishment on February 24th in a party at 4:00. We've been to a couple other places in chagrin falls but never here and we've heard some good things about it. It looks like it was an old house that was converted into a restaurant and bar. Overlooking the top of the falls it's quite picturesque. We were able to park in the parking garage and secure the spot it was pretty tight but the parking was free so you can't complain about that! Our friends are already there and we were seated promptly. The seating was also pretty tight and although my back was to it there was a large party right behind me. The server was not as Hasty with the drinks and she probably could have been because we just sat there staring at each other wondering where she got off to. I was drinking sparkling water and split a bottle with my friend's wife so we were okay but it would seem that those that were drinking beverages that would have required a trip to the bar had to wait a little bit longer.. We got two appetizers one of them I recall was the minas cheese and the other was Franco passerino. A chicken dish of some sort. For my entree I ordered Feijoada; this is from what I understand a stew that they used to serve to prisoners which includes ham bacon beef pork kielbasa and served with rice collard greens was actually pretty darn good so much so that I couldn't finish it.. the ladies ended up getting a steak dish and a fish dish but I couldn't tell you what they were I was focused on mine. Because the tables were so small a lot of restaurants end up putting a lot of unnecessary crap on the tables like table tents candles and the such. When our server returned I asked her to remove the candle to which she proceeded to drop it and it landed on me spilling the content of the candle on my Polo sweater. Neat. Also landed on my hand but to my surprise it was just a warm oil it wasn't wax. It didn't hurt in any way but the only thing that her was the fact that my multiple attempts to launder the oil out of my Polo sweater ended in failure. I wish the table was just a little bit bigger and to make the experience a little better maybe a little more tension from the server because she spent the majority of her time with the big party behind us. While I get it and understand that big parties are demanding we spent in unusual amount of time waiting on our server. Lose a star for that read more

They have 2 locations with this one in Chagrin Falls. You can walk around town afterwards and there's a waterfall you can walk to. Food was good and server was attentive and offered his recommendations which did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is in a restored Victorian house so it feels like you're at someone's house. There was a bathroom on the first floor, still stall but was huge and I like the paper napkins they used. -Pao de Queijo (Brazilian Cheese Bread): had a hard shell on the outside but was soft on the inside so a bit different than the ones they have at Fogo de Chao. -Marisco Lambe Lambe (Mussels): good sauce and good sized mussels -Churrasco Misto: sirloin, chicken and sausage with rice and beans. Steak was juicy and cooked to temperature ordered. -Passion Fruit Mousse: nice tangy flavor -Coconut Butter Cake: cake was soft and I liked the toasted coconut bits: added a nice crunch read more

Great quality food, drinks and service. Noise level was a little loud on the second floor.

Home in chagrin for a 3 days and mom INSISTED we come here for dinner. They turned this old store into a beautiful restaurant venue. Pretty outdoor seating and big, open, outdoor seating. The menu is mouthwatering and the food lives up to the description. I got the Margarita (good, but a little too sweet) and ended up finishing my mom's mojito because it was delicious. Obsessed with the risotto (very rich but oh so good). Coming back next time I'm in town for one of the seafood pasta dishes!!! read more

We had a really nice dining experience here on a Tuesday night. We had the entire upstairs section of the restaurant to ourselves when we arrived at 6, but by the time we left, the whole room was full. We had to try the Caipirinhas, and they did not disappoint. Best cocktail I've had in a long time. Then we started by splitting the Palmito Salad, which was good (salty if you like that in a salad). Oh and of course and order of the Pao De Queijo (chewy cheese bread - YUM). We split two entrees - Mariscada and Sarava Key Lime Chicken. The seafood dish was delicious - so flavorful, and it has such a nice mix of different seafood in there. The chicken I found to be a little dry and lacking of flavor. I saw lots of good reviews for it, so maybe ir was just a bad night for chicken. We had enough leftovers that my half of them lasted two more small meals the next day! Whoever said the portion sizes are small was lying. I'd definitely return here. The atmosphere was nice and food was great. Would be 5 stars if the chicken was better! read more

We sat on the patio because the weather was nice. Server was quick and attentive and we did not wait too long for our food. Would have loved some complimentary bread or something while we were waiting though. I ordered Carolina's pasta which was delicious and just the right size for one person, however I thought it was pretty pricey compared to other restaurants with similar food. The chair I sat in was very deep and for me I felt too low for the table (I'm 5'2"). read more

Batuqui On The Falls - Delicious freshly made lemonade. - Brazilian Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Initially I was a little confused about their hours. On the IPhone maps app it said the location would open at 4pm. I arrived at the location and I did not see anyone opening the restaurant.Then I called an employee and they told me their hours were 5pm-10pm for that day. Usually a situation like this would deter me from a restaurant but, I was really excited to try the food. I decided to go back to the establishment at a later time. I am very happy I returned. The food was very flavorful & delicious! The service was amazing. The bartenders, and servers were very helpful and attentive to our requests. The ambiance seemed very welcoming, and peaceful. The bar is very unique. The wine glasses hang from a fixture above the bartenders head! I was in awe of the total experience. This is an excellent restaurant! read more

Batuqui On The Falls - Pudim de Leite (GF) - Brazilian Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

So my review is not for the food but rather for the service. Here is what happen. We came here after having a dinner somewhere else. We asked the hostess if we can sit outside and we only want coffee and desserts. Not a problem, they took our names down and told us its a 40 minute wait and we will get a call. That was not a problem for us, we just walked around Chagrin Falls. We got the call that our table was ready, came back to the restaurant and were promptly seated. The restaurant and their patio is very warm and inviting. From what it seems, this used to be a big house and it was redone to be a restaurant. So it was a great start We ordered 3 desserts - Brigadeiros (chocolate bon bons), Petite Gateau (Warm Chocolate Cake w/ Vanilla Ice Cream) and Coconut Butter Cake (With Creme Anglaise, Whipped Cream and Toasted Coconut). Desserts on its own were ok, nothing spectacular. But probably would not get those desserts again but try something different...maybe But here is where it all went down hill. It seems that they just start rushing us from the minute they dropped off the desserts, they were trying to clean out our plates before we finished the dessert, they were taking our coffee cups away while we were having coffee and tea and kept coming back to our table to the point were were not able to have a conversation. As soon as we were done with our desserts, without asking us if we want anything else, the bill was dropped off. As we were paying the bill, our wives went inside to say hi to another couple that we knew. At this point, one of the servers or managers came up to us and said there is another party here and they were waiting for over an hour and if we mind clearing out the table. That was just offensive. I understand they need to turn the tables to make money but kicking people out who are sitting and having a conversation, even if they paid the bill, is not the way to go. If they didn't want us to be there just for coffee and dessert, they can tell us. But don't kick us out. Such a service experience left a really bad taste and disappointment. Its a shame, because I really enjoyed the food and service at their other location. If I am invited by someone to come back here, I will. However, I won't personally come back. read more

I've been twice now, on separate dates and had a blast each time. I love that there is parking right across the street in a convenient lot. The restaurant is in a little house and you go up what seems like a hundred steps to enter. It's surprisingly roomy and polished inside and I immediately took to their vibe. I love looking around at the curated art and chatting up all the servers to learn bits of Portuguese. My favorite game to play is to name dishes in Spanish and seeing how close I was (pretty spot on like 80% of the time, lol!). Pros: -varied menu selection -interesting menu items -friendly servers (I love that everyone who works here has to know some Portuguese) -restrooms are clean and cute -decor -romantic setting Cons: -small portions -high prices, not so great value for what you're getting -food is just not quite as flavorful as what I'm expecting. Both times here I've wanted to be wowed but instead, the sauces were just mild instead of bold. This is the exact issue I've also experienced with Paladar. -presentation is also not quite as pretty or spectacular as what I'm expecting. -bathrooms don't have real paper towel, only paper napkins! This is kind of weird and definitely not absorbent. read more

Best thing on the menu. I HIGHLY Recommend (I think it's on the menu or a special)! The chimichurri rib eye!!! If you like hot sauce ask for it on the side -but it's so amazing. Thank me later ! read more

Absolutely fantastic! Took my wife there for our 40Th wedding anniversary. What a special gem of a restaurant! My only wish was that we lived closer! We would certainly be regulars! We were in town to visit our daughter who lives close to 300 miles away. The food at Batuqui was incredible. I had the picanha steak with onions and my wife had the recommended stew with fish. Oh my gosh... her stew (Moqueca Baiana) was out of this world. It was the very first entree on the menu and was it ever delicious!!! Don't get me wrong, my picanha steak was very good too. But, her dish was incredible. To make a long story short... if you haven't been here... GO, go now... and order that stew, with fish! You won't regret it! Makes for a great date night spot! Service was spot on! read more

Amazing food! Can't wait to go back. Tried it during restaurant week and loved the flavors! Unique building and safe are wonderful! Definitely a gem! read more

I really enjoyed the food and drinks here. Service was a little slow but it was okay because my friend and I talked a good amount in between. Overall i'd rate the food a 7/10, loved. It is a smaller place so everyone is pretty close to each other so it almost feels like you're eating at home. No music so you kind of hear everyone's conversations since you're pretty close. Interesting style restaurant! read more

All around Great food and service! The table side flaming sausage was delicious and fun! Seafood was fresh. Portions were nice sized.

We loved Batuqui! This was our first time trying Brazilian food and we were blown away! First off, the vibe was amazing. A darling renovated house in downtown Chagrin with a free parking lot across the street- so convenient. Our waitress was fabulous, made great recommendations and was so attentive, she steered us in the right direction all night recommending cocktails, apps and sharing highlights from the menu and specials list. We tried it all and everything was fabulous. For an appetizer we tried the Diablo mussels which were a special and they were the best mussels we've had. A really generous serving as well. For our meals, I had the moqueca and it was amazing. The menu calls it a stew but it really reminded me of a curry. My husband got the churrasco that was on special and it was so juicy and melt in your mouth delicious. We will definitely be back! There was so much more we were interested in trying and considering how tasty the food was I have high hopes for the rest of the menu! read more

Batuqui On The Falls - Moqueca and Churrasco - Brazilian Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

As a disclaimer, I only came here for apps, drinks, and dessert so my review can only speak to those elements. Located in Chagrin Falls, I was pleasantly surprised by this Brazilian restaurant while my bf and I were walking around the area. The Chagrin Falls area is a beautiful area to walk around with ice cream shops (yay Jeni's), cafes, restaurants, and of course the scenic falls. Batuqui fits right in. We ordered the cheese bread special and mussels to share for appetizers. My favorite was the mussels which were cooked perfectly in a very flavorful tomato based sauce. The sauce was to die for and had a perfect kick to it. The mussels came with a side of toasted bread which was great to soak up all those amazing flavors. The cheese bread came as four small bite sized pieces of bread stuffed with cheese. These were okay, but personally I was not blown away. If looking for a decently sized appetizer, I would definitely start with the mussels over the cheese bread. For dessert, we ordered the passion fruit mousse. Unfortunately, this took a while to come out (more than 25 minutes after we finished our meal), but the server came over and apologized as they were understaffed. The mousse was very tart and fruity with passion fruit seeds sprinkled on top. This was a great end to our small meal and I left pretty satisfied. Overall, I would recommend this Brazilian restaurant if you're looking for a pricier meal with friends or family near Chagrin Falls. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating with warming lamps. I hope to come back one day to try one of the main courses and give a more detailed review! read more

We went on Friday last week to celebrate a wedding anniversary. Reservations 6:45 for 4. It was a beautiful evening, the patio was full. Inside was buzzing by the bar and full. Seated upstairs by a window in the front. Attentive and knowledgeable server (new to the job!), clearly well trained and motivated. Wine and a couple of house drinks for the table. All great. Apps (a bread cheese ball thing and some shrimp, very spicy). I had short ribs. There was a seafood shrimp dish with a long plate. A snapper special that was amazing. And another Brazilian dish I can't recall. We skipped dessert for another glass of wine. We were so pleased with the entire evening. Strongly recommend! read more

Batuqui On The Falls - From across the street. - Brazilian Near Me - Chagrin Falls, Ohio

Love this place. Actually went there for dinner Saturday night and again tonight for happy hour. Delicious. Great friendly place.

I am writing this review after having visited both Batuqui locations. I highly recommend the Falls location over the Larchmere one. We had a very mediocre, if almost negative, experience at Larchmere almost a year ago but my husband was craving Brazilian steak for his birthday so we decided to give this place one more try. First off, I made reservations for 6 in February and asked not to be sat outside. I was pleasantly surprised that this location only has indoor seating in the winter, whereas Larchmere put us in a tent in January and we froze throughout our entire meal. Secondly, we were happily informed that even on Sundays, this location offers happy hour drinks and appetizers. We were seated in a private-ish front room and service was excellent. We started with caipirinhas and the trio appetizer of pork belly, cheesy bread and shrimp. The pork belly was the star of the show here. For dinner, my husband ordered the specialty garlic hanging steak, three of us ordered the Costela de Norte short rib, one ordered the chicken stroganoff, and one ordered the salmon. Everyone raved about the food and the drinks. Good sized portions, excellent flavors, nothing here was bad. Parking can be accessed in an adjacent deck and they offer a lift for wheelchair access. Otherwise you can park on the street and climb up a steep set of stairs to the door. This place had ambiance, great food and service. For a date or a special occasion, this is an excellent option. I would not return to Larchmere but I would definitely return to the Falls. read more

What an amazing restaurant! Friday night is date night and we're always looking for something special ~ we FOUND IT. We started off with little bites of cheesy bread. Jim had the sea bass with risotto and hearts of palm (OMG), I had the Pasta de Mariscos (fettuccini with olives, mussels, calamari and shrimp in a delectable red sauce). Wine was great - Prisoner Red Blend and Bel Glos Pinot Noir. We'll have to go back JUST for dessert. Our server was Kylee and she was excellent. Happy Early Valentine's Day to my darling husband. read more

The food is phenomenal. We had the Ribeye steak special. It's $55 but it's totally worth it. The place is nice and the service is excellent. Easy to find parking even if it's a busy time. Walking distance from other shop and the falls. Next time we visit Cleveland, will make sure to stop by the little charming town of Chagrin Falls. read more

Received an email to sampled their "restaurant week" menu. Glad we we did. The 3 courses allowed us to go beyond our typical entree and glass of wine. We sampled a couple of the appetizers, a steak with yucca fries and dipping sauce was great, we were pleased with their vegetarian entry, and the lime moose is tasty. Their signature cocktail is worthy of taking an occasional happy hour vacation when in Chagrin Falls. read more

This review pertains to appetizers only. The food is good, not great. The sausage with yucca all just tasted fried, but the yucca was fried well, as was the pastel appetizer. It all just lacked flavor. The calamari was also decent but nothing to write home about. The bartender was quite rude and gave us wrong info so that maybe detracted from our experience. Prices are also very very high for portion size. read more

What a delightful experience! Service was excellent. The staff is warm and kind. The meals and cocktails are delicious. Highly recommend.

What a gem! We had a 4:15 reservation because it was the only time we could get. Lucky us! We were able to sit on the patio. The weather was perfect. Our waiter Alexander was extremely attentive and made sure everything was perfect for us. We had the house cocktail, caipirinha, a rum drink with lime flavoring, and the gold dollar Rita. Both were very good. We ordered Diablo Mussels and the calamari for appetizers. Simply delicious. We ordered the Mariscada which is a seafood dish that resembles a curry dish. Wonderful! Also ordered a Palmito salad which was refreshing. All in all it was a fantastic experience and we can't wait to come back! read more

Just dined here last night. I ordered a nice glass of Malbec and a steak special with chimichurri. The steak was perfectly seared, cooked to the temp I had requested and was very tasty. The specials do not have pricing listed so if you want to know, you must ask. I didn't expect this steak to be as good as it was, and was impressed by the quality and the cook. It was pricey, yet worth it. Worthy competition for a specialty steak house. Service was friendly, and efficient. A great choice in Chagrin Falls. read more

the food is excellent and the service very good. the patio on a good sunny day it's totally enjoyable with Avery nice atmosphere. this is one of the few restaurants in chagrin with good parking and where you don't have to pay valet.
