Food was good but not truly authentic Brazil or Portuguese food. I would like to see them take more risks. Also portions were really small if you go with more than 2 people you will have to order so much.

Drinks were really good the Caju drink was one of the best I've had in a while.

Vibe was immaculate. Beautiful space great music perfect Saturday night

I want to start this review off by saying this place has the BEST FLAN I have ever tasted. Picanha was too dry for my liking. I was really disappointed about that.
The octopus was DELICIOUS. The cocktails were crafted well. The space itself is a bit smaller than I expected.
An overall great experience. 4 stars because of the picanha but a definite must try.

What a great experience!
The drinks, the food, the service, the atmosphere...
Really great vynl corner. The music selection is very well curated with classic bossa nova to funk carioca.
Overall great experience and would even say it's already one of my favorite spots in the city
The picanha was my personal favorite dish and the Brazilian Coffee is deffinitely a better coffee cocktail offering than a more traditional espresso martini.
The trio of caipirinhas are a must try cocktail.

Incredible atmosphere with a vinyl DJ & open kitchen. Service was attentive and friendly. Food was great overall, with some stellar dishes like the salad & steak. Similarly, the Picante cocktail was great. I’ll certainly be back to try more & recommend others try for themselves.
