"Came here on a Saturday night busy but didn't wait long to be seated. Always drove by and wanted to try the whole clay pot cooking and experience. The reason for the one star was the server that sat us was really rude and had a attitude to her tone when I had asked her a table for 5 and 1 baby. She stated back so for 6 and just walks away. Came back..." Read more

"We made a reservation 8 days in advance for a party of 12. We said it was a birthday party and the birthday girl and several others have celiac. We asked if we could bring a GF cake from a dedicated GF bakery. We said if this wasn't possible to let us know ASAP as we would make reservations elsewhere where we could bring a cake. They called Friday, the day b..." Read more

"Why this place think is ok to automatically 18% gratuity to your bill regardless of their service or the number of guests at the table.
I am never to set a foot in there again."

"We had just seen a movie and had heard about this place, so we decided to stop by. Arrived at 9:30pm. The sign and website says they close at 10:30pm. I saw the waitresses sweeping inside and knocked on the window to ask why they were closing so early. I pointed to the hours displayed. The lady refused to open the door to explain and just kept making a hand..." Read more

"We had red snapper and fish moqueca. Red snapper was fried so that everything was totally dry. Fish moqueca was not tasty at all, toilets was also not clean. Only good thing about the place is smiling staff. That is all. I don't recommend this place."

"I was so excited to come here after reading all the reviews. I was wildly disappointed.  We really should have known better than to eat here - when we walked in on a thursday evening, we were hit with a wall of old fish smell.  It smelled like an outdoor fish market in a hot country at night, after all the fishmongers have gone and only the runoff li..."

"I'm honestly confused by all the amazing reviews. I would not recommend nor return to this restaurant. Got the fried frog legs ($8), fried diced chicken ($12), and the fish moqueca ($19). The frog legs were alright. Very dry, but admittedly they were supposed to be fried. I would not get this again. They tasted like a leaner/more muscle-y ver..." Read more

"This place doesn't deserve to have visitors. The service is very slow and they are not gentle at all. THE FOOD IS NOT EVEN BRAZILIAN FOOD. I am part Brazilian and the foods had no taste...It was quite offensive to Brazilian culture. Even my six year old cousin who could do so much better with preparing the food. And what about the FEIJOADA? GUYS GO TO BRAZIL..." Read more

"My parents were in town and I wanted to take them out for some good local food.  We arrived early in the evening to a half-empty restaurant.  The hostess seated us, and a waitress served us water.   After 10 minutes we thought they were finally returning to take our order, but instead they literally kicked us out of the restaurant!  They said they'd just rea..."

"This restaurant has great food but the service was so terrible I can't in good conscience give it a good review. Judging from the other reviews, our experience was not an aberration.  Our server made a big fuss that we were a party of 7, not 6, as one our friends has a four week old baby.  I asked for an extra glass three times to three different servers and..."

"I like Brazilian food but was very disappointed with Muqueca.       First, I inquired about a vegetarian dish, and when the waitress listed tofu, I stopped her.  I told I didn't like tofu, so she suggested another dish.  When it arrived, surprise!  Tofu!  I was starving & just didn't eat the tofu.  But there wasn't much to this dish anyway.  Boring,..."

"Wasn't that impressed with my shrimp muqueca. In fact, it didn't seem like it was anything unique. The big plate of rice was disappointing, but more so was that my bf had the fish muquecue and was sick for a good 20 hrs afterwards. We won't be going back. Not worth the hype, sadly."

"One big complain: the dishes are too slow to come. We went there at 6pm on Friday night. There was only one table besides us. But it took them 50 mins to have our dishes available. So I am not sure why it took them such a long time. In addition, it even took waitress over 10 mins to ask for drinks or appetizer. We have 4 adults with 1 baby. When the bill cam..." Read more
