    Wonderful Brazilian experience! My friend recommended this place based on his experience and it was stellar. We ordered the fish stew/paella and picanha with egg. Both entrees were cooked well and accompanied with delicious rice and beans. Service was absolutely on point and pricing was a little expensive but it's a ton of food. Definitely would recommend!

    Picanha a la Orlando.

    We came to enjoy some delicious Brazilian food this Saturday early afternoon. We were seated right away. There are lots of tables and space in the restaurant. Our waitress took our drink orders and appetizers quickly. As they were brought to our table we ordered our main course. Food was served hot and fairly quickly. The picanha was absolutely delicious. 5 generous slices. We ordered family style which came with rice, beans, farofa, sautéed collard greens and French fries. Price for food was very reasonable. Now the drinks I found a bit over priced. My passion fruit juice was $8. And it was good but nothing out of this world. But the service is always amazing and food very flavorful. I normally get dessert but this time did not.

    LOVED the feel of Boteco do Mnalo. Super authentic! They cooked their Picanha steak just right. The texture was tender, and the flavor stood out. Simple seasoning let the meat shine. A solid choice if you want a well-prepared steak.

    So we had a Brazilian uber driver take us to our hotel and we asked him where he would eat Brazilian food, and this was the recommendation. This place was the gem of our trip to Orlando. Vey close to the Disney parks and lots of other fun spots around it. They were playing the Soccer games and it was packed, but we barely waited for a table. Our waiter was amazing!!!! He catered to our every need. If you like spicy a must try is their chili oil. I wish they bottled and sold it, I was ready to buy it on the spot. Everything I ate was fantastic, but the shrimp empanadas blew me out of the water. Full bar and good for small or large parties. Huge portions so be ready for that. It seems to also be served family style so plenty of sharing. A MUST-TRY!!!!

    Bacalhau com risoto de camarão ! Muito bom ( só é chato ficar tirando as espinhas ) hehe

    You must go! They have a menu with several options! There is NO reason to say you don't like it. My favorite so far is the Camarão ao Molho de Catupiry but a picanha is always good as well.

    Highly recommend checking out Boteca do Manolo restaurant. Everything tastes homemade, service is speedy, the ambianceis filled with life and emotions from watching fútbol games in real time. Our server was Marcelle, delightful woman that has a smile that lights up the room. She answered all my questions and found the answer to one she didn't know. This American girl asked lots of questions. Posting more as I travel the menu with the smorgasbord family style foods. We started with Cod Fritters that made me wonder if it was actually crab. It was so finely flaked it was melt in the mouth good. I tried it with the lengendary hot suace malagueta that will give you a run for your money to gulp water down quickly. The next appetizer were pasteles made of ground beef, chicken and a third of shredded beef. Delectable because they have a surprise of melted cream cheese that melds the flavors of the meat and cheese into a memorable bite of goodness White rice and black beans. The staple of any true Latin meal. The right balance of salt and seasonings in the black beans that make you hungry for more. Vinagreti is the salsa that is the definition of fresh. Finely chopped tomatoes, green peppers, onions, chives and a splash of vinegar that provides acidity and ummpffff The Picanha (Top Sirloin) is tender and juicy as it appears to be sautéd in butter and a hint of sauce which makes this meat satiates your pallet. Even when it cools down it is like eating the best burger you had. Yucca, one of my favorite potato substitutes is sooooo yummy. Try it with the vinagreta for an extra amount of mouth watering flavor. Couve aka kale is finely sliced (like spaghetti) and sautéd with garlic and chives which makes a flavorful side dish that adds another layer of intensity that is not too strong. Wait for it. Trying the Flan next. Can't. Wait. It doesn't disappoint. You will be thrilled Sending a shout out to Rodrigo de Silva who took me there to experience Brazil on US turf.

    Traditional Brazilian food, done well, in a nice place with table service and a full bar. The emphasis is on meats of all kinds, and the VERY extensive menu does a good job of picturing everything. The prices seem high at first, but even the half portion is more than enough for two people. There is also a lunch menu. Hard surfaces, so it can get noisy.

    It's a really nice place to eat with a family. Their portions are for 4 people. We like to go there when we want something to bring home and eat later. The empanadas (pastéis) are really good. Staff are always friendly and nice. The place has a nice environment and some days they bring people to sing there, and sometimes is too loud. We like the picanha, parmigiana (ask without ham, I don't know why they put it).

    Food is great but customer beware of break ins out on the parking lot. This looks like a bad area at the end of International drive and the parking lot around the back of the restaurante is unmonitored. My car was broken into and there were other cars with broken glasses as well. Judging by the SEVERAL signs "do not leave your belongings inside the car", taped on every wall inside the restaurant, this is a common problem that no one is really doing anything about. Service was great and food was really good but we will not be back.

    Everything was fantastic! Service and the food exceeded mine and my Brazilian girlfriend's expectations. Don't forget to grab the Caipirinha! Music and vibe was awesome.

    I feel that as a Brazilian I have to come forward and give this place the review it deserves. My man is Puerto Rican, and we have been to this place together at least 5 times already (and will keep coming back). The price justifies how much food you will get (which is a lot) and the quality... checks kiss. Everything is well seasoned! The drinks are 9/10 are on point! I don't know who the bartender was yesterday, but all the drinks he made were lowkey terrible but this is a rare occurrence! And the waiter and manager, God bless them, were kind enough to take it off our check. The place looks beautiful, and the bathroom is always clean. I wish I had more photos to share. I want to give a special s/o to a waiter, Danilo, every time we show up he comes over to greet us and always makes sure we're straight we the drinks just the way we like it. He is an excellent server.

It was 30 minutes from our hotel, so I was hopeful that it wouldn't disappoint! We got there relatively early (20 minutes after they opened for the day), and nobody else was there, so that was kind of awkward, as was being told to order from a kiosk (or use the QR code at the table), rather than give my order to a human. But the kiosk allowed us to kind of 'shop' before making our decision, so that was good. Since we were the only customers, everything came out fast and fresh (in fact, his came out a few minutes before mine, so I had to steal his fries until mine came out, lol) Hubs got the Ultimate Smash Burger and Fries, which was delicious. Soft bun, big burger, delicious fries. I got the Chicken Dippers, and y'all - they were HUGE! And you got SIX of them! Well-seasoned and well-fried, with a flavor that I know I've had before (spice-wise), but I couldn't put my finger on. I ended up only eating two of the tenders, and brought the other 4 home for leftovers. The staff were all super-friendly and attentive. They gave me a box/bag for my leftovers, and bussed our trays when we were done. Seating is ALL tables, so if you're a "Booth Person" you might be bummed. But the seats were comfy, even on a bigger tushie like mine. Paper towels, salt & pepper, and ketchup were on the tables. The only 'con' for me was the hush puppies... it had pieces of corn in it. This is a personal preference, of course, but I like my HPs without pieces of corn or onions, so I didn't ding them for that! Great job to everyone here, everything was delicious. It's on my "Must Go Back" list for next time I'm in the area.

When I arrived with some of my dinner guests, we still had a wait before we were escorted to a private room. We encountered an issue with one of the servers and I had to request to speak with a manager. Rachel came over and we spoke about the unfortunate situation we were having. Rachel apologized and worked to get us someone else to take care of us. After that, we settled in and enjoyed the rest of our dinner. I ordered the Beef Empanadas, the Tequila Sunburn Glazed Salmon (comes with Mashed Sweet Potato and Green Beans) and a Dragon Fruit Margarita. The Dragon Fruit Margarita was delicious. I didn't want to get full before receiving my food so I took sips while we waited. It was hard not drinking it all too quickly. It was good. It was served in a glass with a sugar coated rim and lime wedge. The Beef Empanadas are an all-time favorite and never disappoints. I couldn't eat all my food so I packaged the rest to go. I was presented with a glass of ice cream topped with whipped cream and cherries. A candle perfectly placed in the ice cream was lit and waiting for me to make a birthday wish and blow out the flame. The night was not over yet. After dinner, we went outside and sat to listen to the live steel pan music. It was a wonderful way to end the evening. As the cool air embraced us so did the melodic tunes of the steel pan music. Thank you Rachel for salvaging the evening and remedying our unfortunate experience with one of the service staff. Your response and actions saved the evening and help earned this four star rating.

    The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar is a unique dining concept that combines two completely different…read morestyles of food: sushi and burgers. Located in CityWalk, we walked into a space that leans heavily into the idea of mixing Japanese-inspired dishes with classic American comfort food, creating a menu that feels more like an experience than a traditional restaurant. The interior has a fun, energetic atmosphere with colorful decor, making it a popular stop before or after visiting the nearby parks. The energy in the room is lively, with a mix of families, groups, and couples, and the layout includes a bar area that stays active throughout the evening. The biggest draw is the "burgushi," which combines burger and sushi elements into one dish. It sounds like a gimmick at first, but we found that some of the combinations actually work surprisingly well. The sushi options are creative, with specialty rolls and presentations that make the dishes stand out, while the burgers provide a more familiar option for anyone who is not looking for seafood. We tried a few of the specialty rolls and found them well executed, with fresh ingredients and thoughtful flavor combinations that did not rely solely on the novelty of the concept. The burgers are solid and offer a reliable backup if you are not in the mood for sushi. The menu has a good variety, so groups with different preferences can usually find something they enjoy, and the playful presentation of many dishes adds to the overall experience. Beyond the main dishes, the appetizers are also worth exploring. The crab rangoon dip is one of the more popular choices and fits well with the restaurant's style, offering a fun twist on a familiar flavor that we found enjoyable as a shared starter. The fries and shareable items make it a good place for groups, especially if you want to try multiple things instead of committing to just one entrée. The variety across the menu encourages sharing, and the portions are generous enough that ordering a few appetizers alongside the mains works well. Service can vary depending on how busy the restaurant gets, and we noticed that wait times can become longer during peak hours. Reservations are helpful, especially around park closing times when many visitors are looking for a place to eat. We arrived a bit early and found the bar area to be a good option while waiting, and the overall environment made the wait feel less inconvenient. The staff were friendly and handled the busy flow with efficiency, though the kitchen pace can slow when the restaurant is at capacity. The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar is worth visiting for the experience and creativity behind the menu. While not every item will be something you would order repeatedly, the combination of sushi, burgers, and playful dishes makes it stand out from typical CityWalk restaurants. It is a place that works best when you go in expecting something fun and different rather than a traditional sushi or burger restaurant, and the balance of novelty and quality makes it a memorable stop during a visit to the area.

He desperately needs a lesson in basic customer service and human respect. After a long day at Universal Studios with our kids, we were fortunate to find a late 9:00 PM reservation for dinner at The Palm. We arrived around 9:05 PM, and while waiting near the seating area, Rami approached us and abruptly announced that our reservation had been canceled. Naturally, I was confused, as I thought my husband had booked it online, and didn't say anything about cancelling it. He was parking the car at that moment, and he was not with me. Before I could even process what was happening, Rami raised his voice and snapped aggressively at me, saying, "Your reservation was canceled, but I am getting you a table, okay?" As I hesitated in shock, he literally yelled at me in an irritated, condescending tone: "YOUR RESERVATION WAS CANCELED! BUT I AM GETTING YOU A TABLE!!" He spoke to me as if he were scolding a child. This was not acceptable or normal hosting. Right behind us was a white family with a 9:00 PM reservation. Rami instantly shifted his demeanor, welcoming them in a calm, polite, and respectful tone. The contrast was impossible to ignore. When my husband arrived and attempted to show him the reservation, Rami cut him off mid-sentence and yelled at him as well: "I got this. I'm working on it, okay?" Refusing to be dismissed, my husband showed him the OpenTable email confirmation. Seeing the active confirmation, Rami's eyes went wide, and without saying a single word of apology, he walked us to a table. I cannot help but wonder: would he have raised his voice, aggressively barked orders, and been condescending to us if I weren't an Asian woman with an accent? This went far beyond poor customer service; it felt deeply disrespectful and racially motivated. What should have been a wonderful family Sunday night at the end of our vacation was completely ruined by this arrogant, rude, and foolish individual. How does a high-end establishment like The Palm allow someone like Rami to host? Management needs to seriously audit their staff and hire people who reflect the reputation the restaurant claims to have. In addition, if the reservation system was what caused the reservation to be cancelled, please fix the issue immediately. Running a resturant takes more than just good food.
