"They don't take reservations and half of the party got there to celebrate our friend's engagement but they said they couldn't sit us because the whole party wasn't there! This is ridiculous, rejecting business and not making guests feel welcomed! The restaurant wasn't even busy!"

"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.

"I remember going to this restaurant years ago , the food was delicioso, very good. It was a 5 star restaurante. Along the years the quality just started going down. The service is good, but the food...OMG...it is a 1 star for my taste. The muquecas does not taste like brazilian muqueca at all. The calamari portion is to small and it does not taste fresh, the..."

"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 advise anyone who orders from this restaurant for delivery to take precaution. I ordered the steak which comes with a fried egg, rice and beans and one of their juices. I was not supplied any eating utensils and when reaching out to alert the restaurant and Yelp Eat24 to this issue was told at first it was my fault for not requesting these items, and then..."

"I had the recommended "complete" seafood stew dish with my friend last night. Unfortunately the stew smelled bad when it arrived and we both could barely eat it. The shrimp was fine but when I had the mussels, I had to spit it out. It was spoiled, not fresh. I believe that was causing the poor odor from the stew. I also noticed that our server was not pre..."

"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

"We ordered one thing, they delivered a different dish. It took so long to get what we wanted. By the time they put foods on the table, they were cold and real messy. This was my 2nd trial due to many great comments. How could people rated them 4-5 stars......they must be a family member."
