I have been wanting to go here for a while and finally had the opportunity. My only regret is that I did not try here sooner. The atmosphere is clean, quaint and quiet. The service is friendly and attentive. But the food (VEGAN options) was fantastic! The Recovery Bowl is so energizing and tasty!

5 stars on everything. We got appetizers (the cheese balls and yucca fries), entrees and dessert. All the food was delicious. The flavors were complex, clean and not heavy. The staff are really sweet and knowledgeable, especially if it’s your first time. We were truly blown away. Our only regret is that we didn’t come sooner.

One of the best restaurants in town. We tried Feijoada (traditional Brazilian dish and this is available only on Saturdays) and Salpicao as well as the most popular appetizer of this place Pao de Queijo. The pork that came with the Feijoada was real good. The server lady was super nice and came to check on us frequently. The atmosphere was great. This is my second time and will visit again.

First time trying this place, but it definitely won’t be my last! Staff was very friendly & accommodating with all of my questions. For our appetizers we got the Coxinhas & Cauli balls and they were so good! For my entree I got the Feijoada, which is only available on Saturday, & it was delicious. My sister is vegan & had so many options to choose from!

Excellent customer service, clean, I like how they have 3 parts of the indoor seating, pretty art work on the walls, and the food is delicious 1st time having Brazilian food, won’t be the last. The place was very busy and I definitely understand why. If you haven’t been you should definitely try it! They offer gluten-free and vegan options as well.

Absolutely incredible flavors. The Tillapia Assada is one of the best dishes I have had in a while. The salad that came with it had just the right amount of citrus and crunch. Tilapia was crispy in the right places and the pesto sauce took it over the top.
