"Granted I went for late lunch on a Wednesday but I loved the decor and ambiance and most especially I loved the food. I swear I have never met a moqueca I did not like, this one is no exception. Their moqueca do mar is full of fish and seafood, rich flavors I absolutely love it, It’s my favorite dish! Of course can’t go without caipirinha which is so classic as well. Will come back when I can but Brazilian food in New York does not disappoint ♥️🇧🇷"

"Second time here for the seafood moqueca! Delicious but be careful not to choke bc they leave the skin on the squid and its super stringy/chewy/long. Nearly happened to me twice and it’s not very attractive to peel it off when you’re eating with company 😅 But overall food is yummy, servers are friendly, music is bossa nova mellow, drinks are reasonable prices. They gave me a chocolate snack at the end of the meal."

"I am in no way an expert in Brazilian cuisine. This is actually the only Brazilian restaurant I often go to and visted..BUT if THIS is was Brazilian cuisine is then count me in. We ordered the Estrogonofe de Frango multiple times and it's consistently delicious. It's creamy, soupy and great to dip in the white rice and thin potatoe chips that are served with the dish. We also ordered the Carioca Picadinho. Which is a beef stew accompanied by white rice & beans, fried plantains and farofa. So tender and succulent. Also, do yourself a favor a put a bit of their hot sauce on there. I honestly don't even have words to explain how good this food is. It's like home cooked would be an understatement. Definitely get the drinks during Happy Hour, sooo worth it. We tried the Caipirinha (which is a Brazilian drink) and the Margarita. We went during late lunch so it wasn't busy. The one server at the restaurant was amazing. She was wiping down tables, taking orders and answering our questions. We spent $70 (not including tip) for 2 people. Yes, it was Happy Hour so we spent a bit less for those drinks, so I highly recommend you do the same. This is one of the few places where that price is SUPER JUSTIFIED. This place knows how to do food right 👍"

"The food drinks and atmosphere was really nice here. We ate at the bar on a nice day to be close to the open windows. The staff were extremely pleasant. The caipirinha was delicious and the steaks were flavorful. We will absolutely be back to try more options!"
