Absolutely incredible! This establishment ranks in my top 5 places I have ever eaten. The space is lovely - reminiscent of the bossa nova / midcentury modern vibe of the mid 50's and 1960's without appearing old and worn down. It is super, SUPER clean and comfortable. They had a piano player and jazz singer there today, and we loved it. Music was excellent, but not overbearing at all - perfectly complemented our dining experience. The staff are professional, knowledgeable, and super courteous. They are on par with any Michelin starred restaurant staff I have ever encountered, and made the experience wonderful. All of their dishes are exceptional. If you read about the chef, you will understand why - training came from several Exceptional schools/restaurants, and there is a definite philosophy behind the food. Essentially, the food is from locally sourced, responsible growers/farms, and highlights local ingredients, without being overly pretentious. The quality for all dishes was top-notch, and the flavors are presented in well-balanced dishes that left you wanting more, even though the portions are excellent. I had the octopus dish, and my wife had the fish with yucca and bananas. We had the shrimp/yuca appetizer, as well as their sun-dried beef croquettes and everything was absolutely perfect. Again, the balance of flavors cannot be overstated here - everything simply complemented each other, and all dishes were well seasoned without outlier flavors. I am definitely looking forward to returning to this establishment on our next trip to Fortaleza. This establishment is simply exceptional, and you will not go wrong here. Muito, muito obrigado! Tudo foi delicioso, e adoramos a nossa experiência! read more
