    We moved to Cleveland last March. We chose this restaurant for our anniversary last May. We loved it. Yesterday, we returned to celebrate my husband's birthday. The food was great and plentiful, so we have another dinner for tonight! Our server was clearly fairly new. She was super nice and we enjoyed her service. We love this restaurant so much. We recommend it highly!

    The food, ambiance, and service was exceptional. There was only one item that was sub par and needs to be addressed to have a remarkable experience. By arriving to a virtually nonexistent valet, the evening started off on the wrong foot. Fortunately, the rest of the evening made up for this. Because of the parking situation, I'd be hesitant to return on a busy night.

    This original restaurant location always impresses me and any guests! It’s intimate and, even during restaurant week, their attention to service was intact. I’d recommend this spot for any celebration or to explore Brazilian cuisine.
