    I had an amazing experience, the drinks are so good I was able to try the 5 de mayo drinks and they were great. I recommend getting the Brazilian tacos and the rib eye. I love the ambiance and how helpful the bartender was when it came to recommending drinks of my liking.

    I had the best time here. Service was the best, food was good, and drinks were amazing. The bartenders Angy, Naomi, Caro were very attentive and made the best drinks. Bartenders explained the menu in depth and recommended the coxinha, which I definitely recommend ordering. This is a cute place for a girls night or just for dinner.

    The service at this location it’s exceptional, starting from the moment you walk in and get seat at the bar if it’s too busy, they will give you complimentary cheese breads while you wait for your table to be ready. Once you are seated at your table, the servers are very welcoming and will give you good recommendations with the drinks and appetizers. Once you order the food/drinks they will come right away!! I Recommend to come on Thursday-Saturday for the good music after 10pm. My go to drink is the cucumber dream and sliders or Brazilian tacos as appetizers!

    The place has a very cool vibe and it’s certainly a place you go dressed up to. The food was good, everything is a la carte. I had the ribeye, asparagus and shrimp cocktail.. and it was a cooked well and delicious. The drinks pack a good punch. There’s a Dj so it has a lounge feel to it too not just a restaurant. After you finish if you want to party some more, all the clubs, bars etc are feet away there on Main St. Would definitely go here again!

    Came to celebrate two bdays, server was slow to get drinks going, she came and went , had to flag her down several times for refills or more food. Music got unnecessarily loud, We had asked few times to lower the volume because it began to become overwhelming with the bass and few party conversations were stopped and startled from it. Food was good- we sent back a steak for reheat becUse it was too blue for our medium taste. certain drinks were hit and miss, in the sense of consistency. He has ordered mojitos, some were intense with mint others hardly had any. The fun cocktails listed alongside their charcuterie board and a few beef empanadas were both satisfying and delicious. This ambience definitely makes concept of time stop motion while with your party, endless ticks of excitement combined with the palatable food and its fruity refreshing cocktails certainly made our time their limitless.

    This is terrible. I asked to be sat at a table with lighting because I am a content creator. And got sat in the corner. The waiter took forever to come and we decided to leave to go somewhere else and the waiter chased us to pay 6.50 for water. And didn’t even give us the bottle of water. We only drank the water he poured. The food around us had no smell. It was a terrible experience. Wouldn’t recommend and definitely will be posting this ‼️. I put in my reservation request we needed to sat somewhere with light and they didn’t even take that request serious. I have 1 mil on tik tok. Come on now.

    This restaurant left much to be desired, with both the food and environment. The clock seems like they are trying to pass off as a high restaurant but are most certainly not. The service was terrible and lacking. Our waiter disappeared and when we came to realize it was because he was tending to a larger party. This is not acceptable and he should of done better. We sat there for a long time before we got a bill or anyone asked if we needed anything. We saw multiple tables who arrived after us leave before. In addition, food was just terrible. Menu is terrible and lacking any choices. We had to send back multiple items because they were cold and everything simply lacked taste. It was also clear they just popped them in a microwave with how quick they returned. The beans and rice had no flavor, plus were cold. The macaroni, broccoli and our other appetizers all cold. When paying $300, I expect quality and this was simply not it. I don’t recommend this place at all, there are much better places to go and you can even spend less.

    It was a fabulous meal and wonderful service! It was a valentine redo due to horrible experience that night at another place. Thank you for the treat! It was right behind the concert venue we visited earlier. We will definetly be back when we are in the area. The cocktails looked devine.
