Pessimo serviço, péssima comida, ambiente sem estilo. Os garçons não sabiam qual prato ou bebida…read moreeram de quem. A comida atrasou bastante. Éramos um grupo de doze e o prato de uma das pessoas não estava disponível, depôs de 1 hora quando perguntamos pediram desculpas que não havia mais e pediram que escolhêssemos outro, o outro prato: Risoto de gorgonzola com carne, a carne veio fria/crua e o Risoto sem gosto. Tivemos que devolver. Uma bagunça total e nem estavam cheios porque era uma segunda feira. Deveríamos haver saído sem pagar. Pagamos e fomos embora, todo o processo demorou mais de 3 horas. Um desperdiço de tempo e dinheiro. Totalmente decepcionada. Estou admirada que tenham 4.6 entre 12 mil avaliações.... Devem estar pagando por avaliações! Impossível

Nice place with colonial ambiance in the middle of "restaurant row" on Samuel Costa Street, just up…read morethe block from our favorite restaurant in town, Bartholomeu (see my review). My wife had shrimp tossed in pasta, and I had a crusted filet of fish over risotto, and both were excellent. Service is prompt and cordial. Very little English spoken, but the menus have English translations. Wine & beer served. Of the two (this one and Bartholomeu), we preferred the latter -- but if you have two nights in town I would definitely suggest trying them both; can't go wrong with either one. Brazilians dine relatively late, so if you arrive at either one in the 6:00-to-7:00 range there is no need for reservations.

We are on a 2 week honeymoon in Brazil and this may have been our best meal. The bread is…read morespectacular, and they brought out some free appetizers including smoked fish, pumpkin soup, and a croquette that was amazing. We then had some cheese balls as another appetizer, and then the crusted fish and squid risotto for dinner all of which was excellent. The service was top notch and we felt that it was a meal that merited a tip beyond the usual 10%. Highly creative and delicious meal that we strongly recommend. Also very cute restaurant and decor.

Tradicional "paulista" restaurant that lost its glamour. Still beautiful and spacious though…read more This time, my last time probably , we went on a Sunday evening, and soon noticed that staff was really tired. They literally forgot about us, although the restaurant had only few customers. "hello! We are not waving, but dying of hunger here " I wanted to say! Food was correct, as always good ingredients, large portions, well seasoned. However, sea food (and mainly the fish) was , for me , overcooked. Mussels of the appetizer were rubbery and tuna very dry. The delicate Cambucu Hake, my favorite fish, was bland even though cooked with paprika and creAm . Moqueca prawns also a bit to much cooked for my taste. We would stay for pudding and digestive, but service was so slow that we just asked for the bill. Lucky we had ice cream back home

The owner and chef, Adolfo, makes the experience so much awesome. I've eaten at Michelin rate restaurants in Paris and other parts of the world and this place it right up there too. Do try the steak tartare! Try all the specials! I have the duck confit (special) and it was cooked to 3 hrs of perfection. The wine selection is small but I hate going through pages of the wine list at most places anyway. I had a nice Chilean Cab and yeah I know some of the wine snobs may be shocked I didn't go with a white for my duck but I really don't care. Food was great, the small ambiance was delightful,service is top notch and Adolfo definitely has a passion for his food. Do yourself a favor and experience this gem when you're in town. And don't forget to make reservation in advance!
