A fantastic meal from the drinks, to the appetizers to the entrees. I came with a group,…read morerecommended from a local who raved about the place. They were right! I had a shrimp empanada-like appetizer that was simply out of this world: flaky pastry, creamy filling and high quality shrimp. We ordered two entrees, and unfortunately there was a miscommunication that resulted in two orders of a dish. That's not a slam on the restaurant, nothing is ever easy when there's a language barrier between the customer and the waiter. Both dishes were great, but the one I had with shrimp was blander and less appealing than I expected. It was basically small shrimp (surprised to see such small ones) in a runny/milky creme sauce with diced veggies. Not happy with that, BUT the other dish was a fillet of salmon(?) in a rich and zesty sauce. If I ever come back to Rio, I will come here again to try more dishes. The uniqueness and quality alone make it a must see destination for foodies.

I visited Satyricon on a Monday to celebrate a friend's birthday with a group of 12. Overall, it…read morewas a great experience with a few drawbacks. The service was excellent, our servers were incredibly patient, attentive, and friendly. A pleasant surprise was that they spoke English, which made ordering much easier and honestly encouraged us to try more food and drinks. (Our server apologized for their English but our server had a great command of the language) I ordered a caipirinha, the Cozze a Piacere, and the Spaghetti alle Vongole. Everything was delicious. The spaghetti with clams was perfectly portioned and full of flavor. The drinks were strong, beautifully presented, and well made. One small disappointment: my appetizer was listed online as coming with bread, but it didn't. Luckily, someone at the table ordered bread later so I got to enjoy the delicious broth with the musssles. The restaurant itself is tastefully decorated with a warm, inviting ambiance, perfect for special occasions or date night. That said, the biggest downside was the restroom situation. The ladies restroom was clogged and had an unpleasant odor, which detracted from the overall experience. The handicapped restroom, however, was much cleaner. (I took a star away for this reason only) After reading mixed reviews beforehand, I wasn't sure what to expect, but we were treated very well. The staff struck a great balance, attentive without being intrusive and were very accommodating throughout the evening. The bill was also clearly itemized and easy to understand, which is always appreciated for a large group. Tip: Don't hesitate to ask questions, the staff is knowledgeable and happy to help guide your choices.

The cheese and mashed potatoes made the fish so filling I was stuffed. Crawfish carpaccio was different but I wish the it was more thinly sliced it was a bit slimy.

If you are a foreigner or tourist, I recommend you go to Gaja d'Oro instead…read more Much better food, better service, similar Portuguese high end menu and in a far superior location. Rancho Portuguese is directly across from a well lit gas station on a double lane highway. I used to come to Rancho Portuguese often. Been more than 10 times. But sadly one day I realized they prefer Brazilian clientele and hate serving foreigners or gringos. You experience these sort of ignorant Cariocas here and there when you spend a lot of time in Rio. So after waiting over an hour for food and watching my glass sit empty for 20 minutes while also observing him attentively serve every Brazilian, seeing their food arrive, etc....I asked to cancel my order. Instead of apologizing or even making an attempt to fix the problem, his cocky response was to smile broadly, give me a sarcastic thumbs up, insult me ​​in Portuguese while thinking I don't understand him, and mockingly wave at me as I walked out of the restaurant. So now I go to Gaja D'Oro. It is in a beautiful building by the beach, offers much better service, a similar high end Portuguese menu, and I have never been offended to my face after being a loyal customer who spent more than 500 reals per person every time I went.
