Great food with quality ingredients. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. This place has a cool feel to it. Like a restaurant in Washington I liked.Good place to catch up with friends. Had a friend come into town and asked me to take him here again. The prices are fair for the quality of food. Food is like a restaurant in Jacksonville I liked.

I am giving a 2 stars because of the food, which was excellent. But the service was terrible. Wewent during lunch hours, knowing they have a better price. But we ended up paying full price due to lack of training to their waitress,who misinformed us on the shareable price. We asked a few times, he reassured us wewould pay the lunch price. But the check was for the regular dinner price. When we asked why we were paying the dinner price to the manager. He was very defensive and blamed his new employee. At the end, we left with a bad experience and paid double. We are not coming back.

We picked the restaurant based on the reviews and loved every bite there. We ordered Capa Santa and Pastelzinho for appetizers. We shared fish and shrimp Moqueca for the main course. The water was very helpful with the choices. He brought us malagueta hot sauce with the main dish that enhanced the flavor. Fried plantains dessert and passion fruit mousse made it a meal to remember. The seating on other second floor with harbor views on three sides makes it even more spectacular.Liked the food so much that we went back the next day, right before driving home. Our food came sizzling in th ed pots! Even better than the day before!

The drinks were also stiff and tasty. They tasted quality and were on par with the food.All in all, we were quite happy. With all the drinks, the bill was around $110pp, which was not bad considering the amount of food and drinks we had. This was quite a bit more than the $60pp but again, this will probably depend on your party's drinking habits.

Service was very friendly and the food was amazing.The hot pot seafood was a fun and interesting experience. The calamari appatizer was very tasty as well.* Be warned*1. Mango Juices cost $7.002. The add a tip to your check without telling you.

This is my favorite restaurant in California! It is hands down the best Brazilian food I have eaten outside of Brazil. I lived for many years in Northeastern Brazil and the delicious fish stew that this restaurant served brought me back to the moqueca that my dear friend would make (with olive oil instead of palm oil)! The caipirinhas and scallops in the photos below we're a great bonus. The waterfront view and stellar service only made the dining experience sweeter. I hope to drive from Los Angeles again soon to eat here.

Found this restaurant on a road trip during vacation in Cali. It was the first time trying Brazilian cuisine and we loved it. Service was excellent and food was excellent. Atmosphere was very nice upscale yet casual. I highly recommend!

The first thing I noticed when walking in to this establishment was the wonderful aroma of delicious food.I ordered the clay pot lobster and shrimp. My wife ordered the clay pot white fish and shrimp. Both were absolutely amazing! Five stars is not enough for this restaurant.

Questions & Answers

Karen, their signature dish is a fish or seafood stew, moqueca. I've had it in Brazil at a seaside resort and this was better :) But if they removed the fish it would still be a delicious coconut milk and tomato, cilantro and onion soup over rice. Potentially vegan!

Yes - check the hours. It might be 5:30 or 6pm. Enjoy!

We personally don't use Groupon so give them a call ahead if time.
