Beija Flor

Delicious restaurant and have gone back a few times! Their cheese breads are so good. Their mains are filling and reliable. We love the nights when they have live music too. It’s a pricey meal but if you’re craving it, it’s worth the experience. Some people comment about the portion sizes- it’s not the best value meal if you’re going that route. For the portion sizes it does feel a little expensive. For two people: an app, 1 drink per, and 1 main per the total was ~$130. I’d also say it’s on the saltier side (as someone who usually eats blander). We’ve noticed this place fills up during the later hours (like after 8pm), so we’ve never had an issue getting a seat eating around 6:30/7pm weekends or weekdays. They have happy hour too!

Beija Flor – A Mixed Experience After reading several reviews, I decided to give Beija Flor a try. Based on previous feedback, I chose to stick with appetizers and the well-known caipirinha. I ordered the pão de queijo and a sampler of salgadinhos, which included coxinha, pastel de carne, and pastel de queijo. The caipirinha, unfortunately, didn’t live up to the hype—underwhelming and not worth the price, in my opinion. As for the appetizers, the pastel de carne was overly salty, which took away from the experience. The pastel de queijo was better, but the standout was definitely the coxinha—perfectly sized and packed with great flavor. I skipped a second caipirinha and opted for a Brazilian beer instead—Brahma, which was a solid choice. The pão de queijo arrived last and was by far the highlight. The aroma and slightly burnt cheese crust instantly reminded me of my mother’s cooking—nostalgic and comforting. Service was friendly but a bit disconnected—they never asked if I had enjoyed my food. Pricing felt steep for what was offered. For context, I went solo and spent about $63 for two drinks and two appetizers—no entrée included. That’s a lot considering I didn’t have a main. One thing I found puzzling: the “Beija Burger” comes with American cheese, which felt totally out of place for a Brazilian menu. Especially when there’s other Brazilian restaurants that offer x-Brazilian burger, that are on a whole different level. Overall, my experience was mixed. While I wasn’t completely disappointed, the food and pricing didn’t fully justify the visit. The atmosphere is chill with nice outdoor seating. Parking can be tricky, but it might be worth checking out at least once—

I really wanted to like this place and gave it multiple chances, but unfortunately, it’s a no-go for me. The quality of the food is good, but the portion sizes are ridiculously small for the price. I’ve ordered from here three times, trying different dishes, and each time, the quantity has been disappointing. My favorite Brazilian dish is chicken stroganoff, so I was excited to order it—only to receive the smallest portion I’ve ever seen in a takeout container. On top of that, I called ahead to ask about the soup of the day and was told it was chicken. I ordered two soups, only to receive what was basically water with a few pieces of sausage. Very confusing and frustrating. I’m not one to complain, but at this point, I can’t justify ordering from here again. If they improved their portions and communication, it could be a great spot, but as it stands, it’s just not worth it

Loved this restaurant! 🌹💃🏼 I have never tried authentic Brazilian cuisine & this restaurant offered me a wholesome, classy & engaging experience. We ordered the Pao de Queijo & the shrimp first, which I certainly recommend with the different wine selections available. Followed by the appetizer, I ordered the risotto shiitake with steak ~ the meat was tasteful, soft, and well-prepared for my taste. The live music, the traditional dessert options, the cozy & aesthetically pleasing atmosphere coupled with the warm client-service attention completed the perfect dining experience at Beija Flor ✨🍷 looking forward to the next dinner date here!

Amazing place!came once, then brought my family for a second time. food was delicious, and server was very attentive and welcoming, came with my family, would deff recommend for a date night, brunch, or even lunch . Service was great A++ I have nothing bad to say about this restaurant.

Pro tip: don’t miss the weekend live music! Be ready for some real taste of Brazil! Of course, try the caipirinha - cashew or lime! For the food, the best in my opinion are the “coxinha” and the “pastel” - for mains, the picanha. Hope they add to the menu some “Dadinho de tapioca” - and maybe improve a bit the yuca fries but trust me on the live music vibe and regarding the caipirinhas, coxinhas and the pastel.

Beija Flor: Where the Only Surprise is on Your Credit Card I came for a friend’s birthday party and ordered a drink, plate, and dessert, none of it good anyway. It seems like Beija flor can’t get anything right, especially when it comes to service. In a group of 15 people, i was one of the first people to leave. I had paid my bill fully, some cash some card, or so I thought. A couple of days later, I noticed an unauthorized charge of an additional $50 on my card!!! I had proof of the bill and so I didn’t worry too much because mistakes happen and I was sure there would be an explanation and solution. I went to the restaurant to try to get it resolved but the manager wasn’t there so they took my information and told me the manager would get in touch with me that same day. I got no response so I decided to give them a call the next day. I ended up talking to the owner herself. I explained the situation to her and she had an unapologetic tone. She refunded me the money but gave no apologies, no explanation as to why I was being charged an extra $50. Therefore, come at your own risk. If you want to be charged for things you didn’t order, eat food that your mom can probably make better, and have drinks that leave much to be desired, come to Beija Flor

Very low key but a very nice place! The food was amazing! Especially traditional bread cheese balls. Everything we have ordered was served with care and simple delicious. I am not sure how often they have it, but while we were there on Sunday, they had live bands, and the singer

First things first, I want to give a huge shoutout to the servers here... so kind and attentive and answered my friend's and my questions very thoughtfully. Atmosphere is lovely too, it has a cozy vibe with nice dinner lighting. I could go on and on about the Feijoada which was one of the most delicious stews I've had in a very long time - the smoky flavor of the sauce combined with the rich sausage and beans tasted simply unreal. And to top it all off, that chocolate dessert was made for me... felt like eating elegant frosting and I am SO here for it! Can't recommend this place enough.

The cheese bread was so yummy it came out nice and hot. The meat and yuca mix tasted really good. I came here with my boyfriend and we ordered an entree to share with sausage appetizer too. It was too much food for us. So generous portions. We ordered three appetizers and one main entree and it was more than enough food for the two of us.

Looking for a Brazilian restaurant that's not a chain, this is your spot. The minute you walk in you can tell it feels like a close knit restaurant. The minute we ordered the apps and I took a bite it tasted exactly like what would Come straight from my mom's kitchen. Every dish felt like it was made with love, and has delicious flavor and seasoning. The staff was delightful and attentive. I highly recommend the the Torresmo which is basically fried pork and it comes with this delicious guava jam dipping sauce. (Chefs kiss). The Brazilian sausage was also tasty ! The main dish I enjoyed was the traditional picanha which like I said Taste like it was made straight from my kitchen. Absolutely delish !! Made sure you check this place out because it's definitely on my return list !! .

Came for the caipirinhas before a night out . Very delicious and strong. Ok no just right. :) older crowd this particular night but the live music had the whole place lit. Loved the vibe ! willlllllll be back!

Appetizer was definitely better than entrees. Skirt steak was a bit salty but tasty. Fish stew was decent. Service was okay. Casual, laidback vibe. It was okay to try once but given the service, food, and price, I wouldn't go back.

I came to this Brazilian restaurant for their live music and we had a great time. It was Latin Restaurant Week and Stella Artois was in the house. We had their burger and their chicken. The chicken was an appetizer which can easily feed three people. The portions here are huge. The burger was nice and tender and served with perfectly crispy fries. They had a live band from Friday to Sunday. Saturday they said is can get crowded but it's the most entertaining day and it is highly recommended to get reservations. The service was a little slow at first but once we got our food everything became real smooth and excellent service. The staff was so friendly about it to Felipe.

Stopped by around 9pm on a weeknight. The ambiance was quiet compared to other nights when they have live music, but overall beautiful and colorful inside. The staff were friendly, and spoke to us in Portuguese. It was fun ordering like that! The food was absolutely delicious, nicely presented, and mouth watering. The steak I had was so juicy, tender yet the perfect bite, leaving you wanting more. Ugh, the yucca purée was also such a delicious add on. The burger and its fries were god sent. I loved my whole experience here. Everything was tasty, from the drinks to the dessert. I need to come back, hats off to the chefs. Y'all did that!

The food is absolutely tasty. Please ask your waiter if you are unsure as to what to order. I tried a meat one time and it was just wayyy too fatty for my liking.. The flavors are on point and the drink delicious. They have a perfect pitcher deal for groups. I'm usually a party or 2 and they leave me feeling JUST RIGHT!!! Happy eating see you soon

Ambiance (5/5): The inside is darker and feels upscale/modern. It is a great date spot. Service (5/5): We were the only patrons at 9:30pm. The staff can also speak Portuguese. Food: Picanha na Chapa $32 (3/5): The top sirloin steak had a lovely seasoning but was over-cooked or prepared poorly since the meat was fairly tough to eat. I've never had farofa before which is traditional Brazilian side dish made with toasted yuca flour/cassava flour. I'd describe it as eating powdered rice which didn't have quite a taste. Picadinho De Carne Com (Rice) $24 (5/5): This was my friend's dish which was much tastier. The stew was rich and delicious! I would have thought the portions might be bigger as he still left hungry.

Came in here on a weekday and this place had a nice energy to it. There was a live band performing in the restaurant that was very talented. The live band definitely added to the overall vibe and ambiance of the restaurant. The lighting here is also nicely dimmed as well. My buddy and I ordered the Churrasco Misto for 2 which was pretty good. We just wish that the portion size of the steak was more. The chicken that was served on the meats board was a little overcooked unfortunately but still good. For drinks - the caipirinhas here are excellent and strong! I'll certainly be looking forward to coming back here!

Yes great place great food and great service Just a little loud on a Sunday with band and other dancing kids btn tables felt like a Friday night not a Sunday

Service was okay but the food was too too slow to come out. It took about 45 minutes to got the first appetizer even they were not too busy in the restaurant. They already add 20% gratuity to the bills for party of 2 ppl.

The food was good. The restaurant is pretty. Service ppl seemed like they were confused and had a difficult time understanding us. They seem to not have enough spoons or menus. Anyway, I had this place bookmarked for a long time, and I forgot why, but I guess it's a good spot if you live in the neighborhood.

Great food, beautiful decor. The food felt authentically Brazilian. Drinks (cocktails and non-alcoholic) were so fresh and balanced the food nicely. Service was wonderful, prompt but in no way pushy. Try it out!

The world is filled with great restaurants, great food and great services. Once in a while you stumble upon a restaurant that has all 3. And here I am! Replace great with OUTSTANDING! Gosh everything here here is amazing! All was perfect here, I did not even bother taking pictures! The look looked, smelled and tasted AMAZING, I did not want to take my attention away from the table at all! If you want really REALLY great food and service COME HERE! I will definitely be coming back because I want to try the entire menu!

First time going to Beija Flor and you have to go! This cute and lively restaurant left the best impressions! All the meals ordered were to die for and melted in our mouths. From the grilled salmon with vegetables, to the burger, to the mixed green salad with grilled shrimp, to the shrimp with garlic sauce, and the yuca fries, everything was *chef's kiss* mouth-watering! Service was excellent! The servers were efficient and polite. Cícero was hands-down such a hospitable, welcoming, accommodating, and friendly host! Our party went to celebrate a birthday and he came out with a candle sparkler on the most delicious and creamiest flan while the band sang "Happy Birthday" in Portuguese! Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Long Island City. It was such a short and easy walk from the E Queens Plaza train station. They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. I recommend it to everyone!

Super friendly staff!! Very accommodating too. And the food was amazing - I had the Feijoada. I've never had this style of dish before but the meat was very tender and the seasoning was all super flavorful. They mentioned live music later in the evenings, so I know I'm coming back!!

Delicious food and amazing service. The very best I've had, and New York City! I love the location and I love the variety of authentic Brazilian cuisine

***Huge portions, Decent service, Great experience*** I highly recommend checking out this Brazilian restaurant. They take reservations. There's outdoor and indoor seating. Their drinks are extremely strong and the food is more than enough, guarantee you'll have leftovers. Highly recommend the appetizer bread; you won't regret it.

Good food and great price!!! Ótimo restaurante para ir com amigos e família. Preço super justo

We got the Moqueca Baiana (fish/shrimp coconut stew, which comes with rice, yucca powder) and Picanha na Chapa (sirloin steak comes with rice, beans, yucca powder, and pickled vegetables) both for $28. They were both good, but the quiet star of the meal was the farofa (yucca powder) - add that to your rice and beans, and it really enhances the flavor. The stew was a little thinner than I expected, but mixed well with the rice. The shrimp was not overcooked, which I appreciated, and there were 4 of them. The steak was ordered to a medium rare, and the garlic on top added well to the taste. Otherwise, a standard, good steak - there were 2 pieces of them, which I'm not sure is standard or not. On another visit, we ordered the flan and this is a MUST. It's one of my favorite flan that I've ordered, on par with Casa Enrique's in terms of deliciousness, but the texture/taste is different. I have to try Lety's Bakery's flan again to see if this place replaces them as my go-to flan.

Love the enviornment. Live music was amazing. Food was great, just that I ordered apps as an entre and they messed it up and forgot my fries and took so long to bring out. Friendly service. Nicely decorated. They accomadate big groups although it is small and popular so make reservations.

As an American who spent several years in Brazil, I was excited to visit this Brazilian-American bar in New York. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Despite leaving a generous tip of $200 for just three drinks, the treatment I received was extremely rude and distant. I expected a welcoming environment that reflected the Brazilian hospitality I experienced, but that didn't happen. It was particularly disheartening to feel that, because I was not Brazilian or white Brazilian, the service was differentiated and negative. This experience does not correspond to the inclusive and friendly spirit that I have always associated with Brazil and its culture Como um americano que passou vários anos no Brasil, estava entusiasmado para visitar este bar brasileiro-americano em Nova York. Infelizmente, minha experiência foi decepcionante. Apesar de ter deixado uma gorjeta generosa de $200 por apenas três bebidas, o tratamento que recebi foi extremamente rude e distante. Esperava um ambiente acolhedor que refletisse a hospitalidade brasileira que conheci, mas isso não aconteceu. Foi particularmente desanimador sentir que, por não ser brasileiro ou brasileiro branco, o atendimento foi diferenciado e negativo. Essa experiência não corresponde ao espírito inclusivo e amigável que sempre associei ao Brasil e à sua cultura

Good authentic Brazilian cuisine served a la carte. This is a small, well run restaurant. The food is good, caipirinhas are good and the people are nice! Despite the small size, they often have live music, and even dance classes!

Came here on a Friday night...was there from 630-900p. Another friend picked this place. I myself had never been here. There were 8 of us... This place appears to be popular with groups of diners. It was very festive feeling. The food was good. However... around 730/800p the place really filled up. Now...I don't know if tonight when I came here...if it was the norm...or if there was something special going on, whereby there was a literal 'party' taking place at the other tables, and they were all spread out throughout the restaurant. All I know is that...the noise level was so intolerable that it actually ruined my time there. If I were 20 years old, sure, maybe I'd like this type of 'raucous noise' level. But not at my present age.

The "Little Brazil" scene was once one of the great micro-communities that at its peak, could've been considered a pseudo ethnic enclave. The area has since dissipated with the closure of bars, restaurants, and even my favorite underground churrascaria (#1) but only a handful of bizes remain, which includes Beija Flor. They have been consistent as a venue that offers a little bit of everything: quality food, great drinks, live music, and a fun, date worthy atmosphere. In the pre-pandemic version of this place, I enjoyed quiet weeknights in their serene yet group friendly dining room and also loved the energetic weekends with live Brazilian music and fun vibes. Whether it was date nights, group outings, or simply a solo night at the bar, I always had a good time. Service is generally a bit more relaxed than most hustle-n-bustle spots in the neighborhood, so dining in a hurry would not be recommended. Food wise, I'm obsessed with their moqueca de peixe ($26). It's a fish and shrimp based stew that is cooked in palm oil, coconut milk, rice, and fish gravy. It's so good that I just wish there was more of it instead of a small'ish bowl. I also think their traditional dish, feijoada ($24) really shows off the meaty flavor of the stew. Both of these dishes go well with rice. While I'm never opposed to the bacalhau or picanha, I think a better deal is their churrasco misto, which is really a pile of meat on a board served with fries, rice, and is one of their heartiest options. I'm also strangely loving their yucca mash, which is rich and my favorite side dish. Their drinks are a fun addition to the experience, which I think is best encapsulated by their caipirinha cocktails. It's a little too easy to have more than one and get completely sauced while watching people dance on the weekends to lively music. When in doubt, go with the passion fruit. My sincere hope is that they continue to keep the Brazilian presence alive in western Queens (#2) and continue to serve quality food. While it might be too pricey for some budgets post-pandemic, I know there is something here that everyone can appreciate. ____________ (#1) R.I.P. Rio Grande: https://www.yelp.com/biz/rio-grande-churrascaria-long-island-city (#2) Or else Rio Market (https://www.yelp.com/biz/rio-market-astoria) and Copacabana (https://www.yelp.com/biz/copacabana-astoria) legit become the only ones left.

The food and cocktails here are very good. However, they've changed the menu and my favorite item is no more. The FRANGO ASSADO was delicious but no longer available. Roasted marinated chicken, vegetable confit, crunchy farofa, grilled asparagus. It's still on their website menu but not served at the restaurant. FYI. I hope they bring it back! Cocktails and service are great!

I came here on a Saturday evening for the live band. I ordered the beef and yucca. It was hearty and filling. Perfect meal to accompany my caiprianha. The music was great! Everyone was singing and dancing. The service was nice and friendly. The waiters, waitress, and hostess all did a lovely job. I cant wait to go back!

Live music was phenomenal!!! Didn't know there would be room for dancing. The oven was not working the night we went and so the menu was limited. Nonetheless, the fried chicken pieces were delicious. So was the shrimp dish. I would go back just to give it a full menu try.

Food was truly a real pleasure, authentic to Brasilian. Service was gracious and accommodating. This was our first time here after walking past multiple times and finally see what we've been missing. Well done and so glad we came tonight!

Such a lively dinner spot, even on a Sunday night! I happened to catch the live music, and the whole place felt like a mini dance party by the time I left. Service was okay - the food and drinks were a tad slow, and there was a mix-up in one of our dishes (which we decided to let slide to avoid waiting longer). Food however was fantastic when it did arrive - the pao de queijo was perfect cheesy chewy goodness, the yucca fries were thick, hot, and crispy, and the seafood stew was full of flavor. I also tried one of their salads, which was full of pumpkin chunks and tasted fresh and wholesome. Drink-wise, I shared a pitcher of the guava caipirinha and it was delicious and strong. Great little Brazilian restaurant!

Had the Picanha na Chapa: Grilled top sirloin steak served with rice, beans, roasted yucca flour and vinaigrette. Meat was cooked as requested at medium, and the flavor was fine enough. Rice was meh, beans OK, and yucca flour tasty. All in all not enthused enough to make the trip and pay $30.

This was my first brazilian food in nyc, the food was good unfortunately the service was lousy during my time of visit. It was on a Sunday around 3pm, so it was not a busy hour for sure. We decided to sit outside, and they seemed to forget that we were there. We had to wait around 15 mins until finally someone serves our table. We ordered an appetizer, pao de quiejo, and two entrees. After 30 mins, not even the appetizer came. I had to check to the waiters, and they said the pao is fresh so it takes 20-25 minutes to bake. Its great but they couldve told us earlier so we wont have to expect that as an appetizer. The entrees came 5 minutes after, but not the appetizer. So we were upset and decided to cancel the appetizer. We asked for the check, and they still charged for the appetizer anyway. Worst part of this restaurant is that they include the 20% gratuity in the check! With such lousy service, I feel forced for paying 20% tips. All in all, food here is good, but service needs further supervision. Not even an apology was expresses for the bad service we ve got.

Very good food and Drinks. Service was good and atmosphere was lively and upbeat. Was a good night but they seated us on the dance floor and when the live band started playing they rushed us through dessert and asked us to move so people can dance. Place was not full when we were seated and if they knew they needed dance floor clear at a specific time they should have seated us accordingly. Overall very nice night until the music started. We'll probably be back.

The service and the food were great! I enjoyed the seafood soup (muqueca de peixe) with a little bit of picante sauce and a caiparinha to boot. For desert, I had a brigadeiro, which wasn't the tiny little balls of doce de leite that I am used to, but something more like a mousse. Still delicious though, but very rich.

Here they don't have parking so street parking it is. but depending on when you get here it is not super hard to get parking They have live music on certain days so make sure to check it out cause if you love it yay if not nay cause there is a cover charge associated with the live music. Also pay attention if you come in and the band starts well after you been there cause they may sneak the cover charge on you too. Here they have Brazilian food and it is all a la cart, so don't expect a buffet not a by the weight. The atmosphere is nice, the decor is warm and sophisticated. The staff is friendly and very accommodating to larger and small parties, however keep in mind that they do have live music here on certain days and then it can be very difficult to find a table. But they are amazing to try and accommodate, they will try to give you a table for a quick dinner whenever possible even if they are all booked. We came over for a late dinner. We were a larger group but at the time we came it was near closing time so it worked our just fine. They were amazing Batida de coco- amazing, a must try when coming here, nice and sweet. Loads of coconut flavor and little coconut pieces. this is my go to cocktail here. Guarana- this is a very popular soda in brazil, I love it and if you never had you should! Pasteis de queijo- I was not impressed with them, the cheese was almost non existant I was expecting a lot more cheese, this appetizer is not a great idea. It comes with a ketchup and mayo sauce and still did not save it. They should add more cheese and have the pastry a little drier cause it was a bit too fatty Manjar de coco- that takes the prize, amazing!! Not heavy and very yummy with lots of coconut pieces, loved it. Brigadeiro- this mousse was a little heavier so unless u are a crazy chocolate lover this is not for you, this dessert is very strong and thick. Pao de queijo- as expected, fresh and warm from the oven very nice, these are worth to have for sure. So I been here plenty of times and some of them the food was amazing and others not so much, I think I don't have a pic but the feijoada is awesome, you might have to order your protein separately but none the less it is a very worth it dish. Here is a hit or miss with the food in my opinion, so good luck, but the service at least to me has been great consistently. Come by and take a chance you might be glad you did.

Dunno what the deal is with this place. Friday evening, not super busy. Lotta staff. Not sure what all these people do. Food was slow to come out. Ordered the chicken and hummus apps. Chicken was bland, hummus never showed up. Caipirita was salty for some reason. Server requested a temperature for my shirt rib dish. I should have seen that as a sign. Portions are rather small for the main courses. Maybe a better idea is to pass by for music and drinks, but the food and service is a miss. The bar is slow. Why not batch the drinks if you're short staffed?

3.5 rounded up in appreciation for them offering delivery during a pandemic, being transparent, courteous and professional in communicating a delivery delay, and the delivery guy being friendly. Overall, they're definitely offering solid Brazilian fare. I'd rank them top five of the places I've tried in the city (and I've tried my fair share). I ordered up the Feijoada and Linguica Caseira na Chapa for mains, with arroz, feijao and couve refogada as sides. All were good, with the couve refogada being really good. Rice was nice and fragrant. Feijoada definitely has that proper, cooked overnight, bone marrow has come out goodness going on. I wish the side of beans wasn't just an extra side of feijoada; I was hoping to get two different dishes. But the portion size was nice. The portion size of the rice side also nice. But they need to be a bit more generous with those collards. It's a cheap green sautéed with garlic, olive oil, and salt, but didn't even cover the bottom of the container. For $6, need better balance there. Would've also been a nice gesture to throw in a soup or dessert when there is a significant delivery delay. But that's #justsayin. Overall, I'd consider ordering delivery again, and once this mess is over I'd definitely pop in for a drink and some bites at the bar if in the area, or consider it as a meet up spot for drinks with a friend.

Life brazilian music every weekend from Thursday to Sunday. Very good food and nice drinks. Our server Milo is the best. He made us in love with the place. For sure we gonna come back and enjoy the full experience again. Must try :)

Came here to try some Brazilian cocktails for the first time. The drinks menu was quite unique and featured a lot of ingredients and cocktails not found at your average bar! Beija Flor also has live music at night, and the atmosphere turns quite joyful where everyone seems to know each other and some people will get up and dance :)

The food is amazing! I went on a Monday night for dinner Everything came out really fast and sizzling

Amazing food great vibes Nice and cozy and the services the best in Queens !! Highly recommended

I came here this past Saturday with a party of 8 for a 30th birthday celebration. Upon entering, I was impressed with the decor; so beautiful! It's a small restaurant, but we came at 3pm so there was plenty of space. Upon glancing, the menu seemed to be pretty pricey, but the quality and quantity of food made sense. I got the steak and boy did I get a lot! 2 large pieces. It was delicious!!! It was cooked to medium as requested, juicy, and flavorful. The rice and beans were great sides. We also tried the cheese bread, yum! Make sure to orders these right away if you want them because it takes 20 minutes to make. It's well worth it for the freshness. I'm currently pregnant and can't drink, but my husband and friends seemed to really enjoy the cocktails. For dessert I had flan. I'm still dreaming of it! It was creamy and delicious. We got some amazing pictures because the decor was the perfect backdrop. I'd definitely return!

I went on a Tuesday so it was pretty slow. Unfortunately our server was missing in action most of the night. He preferred to hang out at the bar with another employee and a female. He never cleaned the table from empty appetizers dishes before he tried to fit the entrees on the table. He never checked on us or asked us if we needed anything. When we went to order coffee he said their coffee machine was broken. When I asked how long he said it had been broken for 2 weeks. At the end of the evening I had to call the restaurant from my table to get him to come over. The food was so so. Two out of the four of us had more fat then steak on the sirloin we ordered. Just a terrible evening overall.

Went there last Sunday thinking I would have a great time and left annoyed and very upset. Waitress were not attentive and I even had to go close to the bar area to request a waiter which were on the phone texting instead of paying attention to costumers. Ordered pao de queijo, since a friend was visiting and wants to try. Also ordered main course and after 30 minutes waiting for my order another waiter passed by and I ask to get more water since our glasses were never refilled, regardless been there for 30 minutes. I then questioned about pao de queijo order ( appetizer ) and was told it takes a while. I said it would be nice if I were told when order the "appetizer" that it would take forever. I ask to talk to the manager and was told there was no manager ( never mind its a Sunday 1:00 pm ) - who needs a manager right?! So I then ask the waiter to not bring my food before my appetizer since it would be cold once it all arrives together. So after 50 minutes we Then got our main course and then I request to cancel the appetizer ( never seeing appetizer taking longer than main course ) We ate and ask for the check. They had charged for the appetizer that I had canceled and also had 20 percent gratuity included!! ( we were only 2, not a group) So I doubt that I will ever go back. Lazy waiters terrible managed place. Too bad

Updated: Under good management, this place has turned around significantly since I first went 3+ years ago. The food is delicious, drinks are awesome, great atmosphere and music with excellent service. It's now one of my neighborhood favorites. I highly recommend! One star is because the service is terrible. It's unfortunate because they have delicious food and a great atmosphere. Every time I go there, the service is almost non-existent and we feel like we're forgotten about. I had to get up and beg multiple times to get and pay my check! I stay away from here now because of the terrible service. I tried going again yesterday, and noticed that nobody came to take my order despite multiples servers there so I just decided to leave instead of dealing with the terrible lack of servic

One of the hotel staff shared that this restaurant was in the neighborhood, we walked by it on our way back from being out and about and decided to stop in. The staff was attentive and nice. The decor is pretty, there is a cherry blossom placed near the bar. I'm not too familiar with Brazilian food (this was my second time at a Brazilian restaurant/bar) but I ordered fricassê de frango which was shredded chicken with cheese and potato sticks (potato stick chips), it's similar to a casserole and my friend ordered the fish nuggets (I'm not sure of the Portuguese name for it). We received a complimentary vegetable platter which taste great! That alone almost filled us up. My food was flavorful, it was different, not sure if I'd order it again though. I tried one of my friends fish nugget and preferred that to my food. We ordered yucca and it was some of the best yucca ever! All of the food taste fresh. We came back the next evening for the dance lesson/social, it was nice, the instructor was friendly. We enjoyed a few drinks during the social, if you like coconut flavor or white russians (alcoholic drink), I highly suggest the batida cocktail !!!

Service was excellent as always. The food didn't hit the bar as they have done previously. I take it that they were having an off night. Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the band but looking forward to better food, drinks and dancing next time.

Highly recommend. My friend and I stopped here for drinks and we also got the queijo, which was delicious. The best part was the live music and the relaxed atmosphere. It was a great experience all around!
