My experience was very good, the waiters were very attentive and the service was top-notch. The food was delicious...well-seasoned...tasted like homemade food. We ordered rice with shrimp.

Absurdly expensive! A portion of fries is R$24.00 when you see it, and it's really just a small bowl with a tiny portion of fries, besides the other options. The atmosphere is good and conducive to those who like more privacy as a couple, however, everything is expensive! Even though there aren't that many options, just the basics. In other words, it's okay for a date, but for eating and drinking, NO.
