Casa Ipanema

Best brunch, lunch, and dinner place! no matter the occasion this place is the best for it all. The food is delicious and the vibes are indescribable. its like youre transported to tropical yet upscale place. The drinks are beyond refreshing, and just hit the perfect spot. Jeanpoll the waiter always provides the best service and makes you feel at home. This man is professional!!! and very few of him left in the service industry. If you are near the DTLA area and want something upscale, but chic, cute, and delicious, this is the place!

Food was a 4.5, but the experience was a 5. Located right next to Pershing Square is Casa Ipanema. There was no valet, but we found a spot a block away. Inside it feels like a Miami nightclub - loud, pretty, and dark. Some of the food dishes were great while others were good. We ordered a Picanha steak medium, and it arrived well done - no pink at all. But the flavors were original and inventive. The fire dancer started a little after 8pm. This is a fun place for a date, but it’s really loud so hard to talk.

We stumbled upon this spot after attending the magic show upstairs at the Biltmore. This place is a vibe! And the food is great too. I had the Picahna and the others in my group had the Pistachio Crusted Fish and everything was delicious. The service is great, and they have a DJ playing lively music in the background. They even have a fire dancer perform a short show at certain points throughout the night. This is a great place to celebrate a special occasion or just to have a nice, lively dinner. We’ll be back!

such a great spot! loved the vibe, the music, and the whole atmosphere. the food was amazing - specially the avocado crust. the drinks were super well-made, and the service was the bessstt. definitely a place I’ll come back to and tell all my friends about!!

The greatest place of all time! The food is absolutely delicious, the whole place has such a vibe, the servers are amazing—especially Jean Poll—and the house DJ is phenomenal! I’ll definitely come back every time I’m in LA!

Everything was absolutely amazing! From the food to the drinks to the ambience to the service, they always made sure we felt great and we were enjoying ourselves. This is definitely a hidden gem and definitely one that you need to try out! Such a great find! I’m glad I came, And can’t wait to come back!

Casa Ipanema is a must-visit! The food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic. We ordered the tres leches pancakes and the picanha chilaquiles, and wow—both were absolutely delicious. Every bite was full of flavor, and you can tell a lot of care goes into the dishes. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

My experience at Casa Ipanema was truly wonderful. The atmosphere instantly reminded me of my hometown, Rio de Janeiro — warm, vibrant, and full of life. It felt like a little piece of home, right here. The food was full of flavor and beautifully prepared, but what really made the visit special was the service. Gui and Gabriel, our servers, were incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. A special shout-out to Reinaldo, the manager, whose professionalism and friendly attitude made us feel genuinely cared for. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back — not just for the food, but for the feeling it gives you. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic Brazilian experience with heart.

Iván helped us today and he was on it, everything we needed he came ln time and was always double checking on us , highly recommend this place , food and service was on point

Ivan was sooooo amazing!!!! great food and service. wonderful. loved the show as well.

We were a party of two on New Year's Day, and this was one of the few restaurants open -- it was our first time here and we were really glad we stopped in. Very nice tropical decor, chilled crowd and wasn't that busy, but that's understandable since it was New Year's Day. We were seated right away, and our server was super nice and took great care of us. The food came out quickly and everything was absolutely delicious. It was a great way to start the New Year. We were very happy with our experience and will definitely be back.

Came here for an event and was very pleasantly impressed; the interior is pretty and is both lounge-y and like a restaurant, and the service is great. Additionally, food and drinks are fab; the happy hour is long and has plenty of options. Plus, they're pretty affordable. Would definitely be back, oh! And they are great to work with if you're trying to plan an event. Cheapest parking for the evening is actually the self park at the Biltmore; they'll validate and you'll only pay $15. If you self park, head in and then turn left after the lobby; look for the sign on the left and head down the staircase. FYI, there's stairs and no elevators that head that way.

We came here on a Thursday evening to celebrate my husband's 53rd birthday. We self parked in the Biltmore Hotel for $15 with validation. The venue is elegant and spacious. They do have a dress code, so read the fine print before you go. We were seated right away, but could not sit in the main part of the restaurant due to a function they were preparing for that night. Our service was a bit underwhelming compared to the reviews I read prior to coming here. Even though the main event had not started yet, everyone was preoccupied with the people who weren't there (preparing drinks, place settings, ...)). instead of focusing on the people who were already there. We also had a new waiter who was timid and needed to be prompted to reside his voice so that he was audible. Our food was just okay. We ordered the main dish (picanha)) and the pork chops. The steak was flavored well, but chewy. It had fat, which I like, but it was so hard it was inedible. As for the pork chop, it was on the drier side. Our drinks and Brussels sprouts (appetizer) were absolutely amazing!

We stumbled upon this spot after attending the magic show upstairs at the Biltmore. This place is a vibe! And the food is great too. I had the Picahna and the others in my group had the Pistachio Crusted Fish and everything was delicious. The service is great, and they have a DJ playing lively music in the background. They even have a fire dancer perform a short show at certain points throughout the night. This is a great place to celebrate a special occasion or just to have a nice, lively dinner. We'll be back!

For cocktails, I tried the Favela (mezcal, mango, lime, Tajín) and Posto Nove (gin martini with lychee). Both were incredibly smooth! The truffle fondue, avocado crispy rice, scallops, and four-cheese filet mignon with mashed potatoes and street corn were all hits, but the unlimited cheese bread deserves its own shoutout. I kept ordering it non-stop. You can catch the fire girl performing on Fridays from 7PM to 9PM. I parked at the hotel for $15, which was super convenient.

This was our second time at Casa Ipanema, and somehow it was even better than the first. This place is on another level. From the moment you walk in, the energy pulls you in and doesn't let go. The music, the dancers, the movement, the atmosphere, everything comes together to create a full experience, not just a dinner. The vibe is alive the entire night. The DJs keep the energy flowing, the dancers elevate the room, and there's never a dull moment. It feels like a celebration every single time you're there, which is why we already knew we had to come back again. Huge shoutout to Isa, who took incredible care of us. She was attentive, friendly, and completely on point with her recommendations. And thank goodness we listened to her, because the tomahawk she recommended was absolutely out of this world. Perfectly cooked, insanely juicy, full of flavor, and easily one of the best steaks we've had. A total showstopper. Casa Ipanema is one of those places that delivers consistency, energy, and unforgettable moments. Whether it's your first visit or your second, it hits just as hard every time. We'll definitely be back again and again. Highly recommend.

Service is kind and helpful and some of the dishes were tasty. I would say it's a different taste profile which could be fun. The place is also pretty. I liked the bread. Could pass on the avocado crispy rice.

I loved this place. It doesn't get as much hype as it deserves but both brunch and dinner is good! If you come for dinner on Friday or Saturday they have a fire dancer which is super cool. The ambiance is a Brazilian outdoors beach vibe. Every time I've been here the service has been attentive. At night they also have a DJ. No DJ during brunch when I came. If you like spice, you can ask for their hot sauce on the side which has a nice kick!

Starting off on how amazing the entire staff was. Extremely attentive. We had reservations for Saturday at 730pm. Parking is located on 5th and Grand at the Biltmore Hotel- $35 for valet (validation included) $15 for self park (w/ validation). There is hotel entrance to the restaurant in the lobby (left hand side) downstairs; you will see the door easel. It gives Tulum vibes but not trying hard either. This is Brazilian inspired - same owners as H & H Brazilian Steak House. It is a great open space perfect big parties or small. The ambience is loud but not too loud where you're not able to enjoy a conversation which I could appreciate. The fire dancers were a great touch to the dining experience. We ordered capirinhias- traditional for me and my sister ordered the passion fruit version. We then had truffle fries and Brussels sprouts both tasty. For our main my sister and I shared the three cheese filet mignon with broccolini and a side of mashed potatoes. I enjoyed the meat cooked to a perfect MR. For dessert we had the cookie with marshmallow and I believe caramel drizzle? I highly recommend dining here, I'm shocked it's not packed granted they just opened up in March I believe. We had a great time, s/o to the host and the servers serviced was flawless. Oh and their dirty martinis was delicious!!!

I've been here a few times now, and every single visit has been such a great experience! Recently, I planned a birthday party here for one of my best friends with a group of 15, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. Everything ran so smoothly, and it honestly made the celebration feel effortless and special. If you go on a Friday evening, you're in for a real treat--the fire show is absolutely incredible and not to be missed! It adds such a unique, exciting vibe to the night that makes the whole evening feel like a mini getaway. The service here is consistently amazing. From the host who truly seems to do it all, to our wonderful server Gaby (they both deserves a special shoutout!), everyone makes you feel welcomed and taken care of. You can tell they put their heart into making sure guests have the best possible time. The food is always delicious and priced really well for the quality you get. Every dish I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. On top of that, the venue itself is stunning--it honestly gives me Tulum vibes with the gorgeous décor, thoughtfully arranged tables, and the warm, inviting atmosphere. It's the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood as soon as you walk in. To make it even better, there's usually a DJ spinning great music that keeps the energy up all night. It creates the perfect balance between dining and having a fun night out without feeling overwhelming. Overall, this is one of my absolute favorite spots for both small dinners and larger celebrations. Whether you're looking for great food, amazing service, or a unique vibe that makes you feel like you've escaped somewhere tropical, this place truly has it all. I can't recommend it enough

Me and my best friend came here to celebrate her birthday. We ordered the enchiladas, mango chicken, street corn, mashed potatoes and broccolini. Biggest issue about the food, it came out cold. Every dish was cold or just about room temperature. Which was very surprising as the restaurant was not busy and food came out fairly quickly. The mashed potatoes were the warmest but only once you got to the middle. We were warned about the enchilada plate being hot, but the food itself was cold. We spoke to management regarding it, and they offered to warm everything up but we declined as we did not just want the food to be throw in a microwave. After declining to rewarm, they offered to remake everything, but we declined as we had already eaten half of the food cold and knew we would not finish the new food they would make. So They decided to bring out 2 of their tacos for us to try at free of charge but the shrimp tacos we received looked very undercooked as one side of the shrimp were pink but the other was still grey. Safe to say we did not eat them. Overall, the place was cute, fire dancer was the best part of the evening. Staff were friendly and so was management and we appreciated their efforts to try to make things right, but the food was a definite let down. Unfortunately we would not be back after our experience.

Special thanks to Beatrice and JP! They both were so attentive to our groups needs. The Service was exceptional! The chef at this restaurant made everything so perfectly delicious. We had steak, chicken with mango sauce, white fish with white rice, mashed potatoes, broccolini, and for dessert bake cookies with ice cream. Drinks were just exquisitely crafted. The overall experience was like no other because of the service and the ambience. The fire performer came around twice to perform and perform around the entire restaurant so everyone gets a view of the show. I believe her times were 8 and 9 PM. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for any occasion, but if you want to make a birthday extra special, this would be the spot ! You must check it out and bring family and friends !

This restaurant is absolutely amazing and exactly the kind of vibe LA has been needing. The aesthetic is on point, super chill yet fun and the energy inside is great. The DJ was killing it all night, playing an incredible mix that really set the tone. The drinks were just as impressive. I ordered the Ipanema Sunset, while my best friend went with the Margarita, and both were perfection, not too strong, not too sweet, just really well balanced and enjoyable. As for the food, we started with the Tuna Tostada. Presentation-wise, it didn't totally wow me, but flavor-wise, it definitely delivered, honestly, it tasted better than it looked. The Shrimp Hand Roll had a perfect flavor profile; it was a bit messy and oversized, making it slightly difficult to eat, but still very good overall. The Picanha was cooked to perfection, and the sauce on the side paired beautifully with the meat. The broccolini was spot-on as well, nicely charred with great texture and flavor. We also ordered the Kale Caesar Salad, which I was a little skeptical about at first, but it completely hit the mark. Great crunch, a perfectly balanced Caesar dressing, and a subtle hint of citrus that tied everything together really well. The only note I'd mention is service coordination. We had two different servers trying to take our order after we had already ordered, so a bit more communication between the staff would go a long way. More frequent table check-ins, especially water refills would also elevate the experience. That said, overall it was a great night with amazing vibes. The manager was incredibly kind and welcoming shout out to him for getting us seated right away and making us feel taken care of. I can't wait to come back, and I really hope more people in LA show this place the love it deserves.

Such a vibe! Everything, was Cheff Kiss! From yummy food to the service was amazing!

Beautiful restaurant that just opened up. Perfect for a large two small parties! I made a reservation ahead of time because it is get busy, especially around dinner time. I made a reservation online and it was fast and easy to reserve. I had the option to reserve the fire show, DJ, or I believe may be around the bar. The food was great, a bit pricey for the small portions. They recommend ordering multiple plates to share. The atmosphere was inviting, energetic, and upbeat! We dressed up for dinner, as there are restrictions for no hats or shorts for males It is very dim lighting, however they have small lights at the table

This review is way over due . Jose T. and his team are incredible. I was in touch with Jose in regard to celebrating my son's baptism. We were looking for a place to take the god parents and small group of family members. Jose reserved the bar area for me (where they have a beautiful seating area) and customized a family style menu that would meet our needs. The prices are so reasonable and the service is incredible. JP and Bea were helping our group and just like Jose, they went above and beyond! The food is so delicious! Everyone loved it! Looking to make reservations for a group of people , call Casa Ipabema ! I can't wait to go back! This place is amazing !

The service is inviting, sexy and very fun! Every service professional who I've encountered here is so friendly and welcoming! I'm here by myself tonight and they made my night special and chatted with me. I sat at their beautiful counter and there is enough room to eat and have my drink. The bartenders Justice, Elif and Carolina are top shelf and very good at what they do. Justice recommended the Avocado Crispy Rice so I got that with tuna (omg so delicious, highly recommend). They are playing the best music that is Latin with a nice chill club beat! I love it here and will come back! You must ask for Justice, Elif and Carolina to make your drinks! They rock! Thank you!

Casa Ipanema has opened in the street level space under the LA Biltmore, on the corner of 5th and Hope. It is a fusion of Brazilian and Mexican...but don't expect a churascaria style parade of meat scewers! All the dishes we tried are well imagined and crafted. Presentation was only matched by the great mix of flavors. Delicious! The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. Jose, the manager, seated us in the spacious dining area. Gaby, our server was attentive and service was quick. We were there for a snack and cocktail during their "Golden Hours" (3p-7p Sunday to Wednesday). The dinner menu looked enticing, we're looking forward to our next visit.

New restaurant that opened a couple months back, had it on my list of places to go try, and I had time so away we went! Casa Ipanema is a blend of Brazilian and Latin American culture and vibe. The ambiance of the place had your feeling like you aren't necessarily in Los Angeles anymore. And, in first and Saturday evenings, there is a live DJ playing. So live DJ sets, cocktails and food? Sign me up! Started off with cocktails, per usual, getting the Ipanema Sunset and the passion fruit caipirinha. The sunset was very refreshing, while the caipirinha had fresh passion fruit infused with cachaca rum from Brazil. A little heavy on the lime though, as it really made it a lime forward cocktail taking away from the passion fruit and cachaca. For food, we started with the tuna tostada and the avocado crispy rice. The tostada was very nice, runs tastes fresh, had nice spice elements and the soft avocado contrasted the crunch of the... it didn't feel like a normal tortilla ... something thinner but very sturdy... just a great bite. The avocado crispy rice was also wonderful, nice crispy rice texture on the outside providing a crunch with some rice inside to go with the avocado on top. Another recommended appetizer. Aa for entrees, we got the pineapple pork chop and the four cheese filet. The pork chop had a great presentation, as we eat with our eyes first, but felt a little dry once you bit into it, unfortunately. The filet was great and the four cheeses adding a nice richness and flavor with each bite. Overall, atmosphere and service are great. Food was very nice also, though I would skip the pork chop and try a different entree. Drinks were also nice but expect the caipirinha to be more lime forward if you get that drink. But a great new addition to the LA food scene and a place I'll definitely go back for food, drinks and vibes

I went here for a little birthday dinner and had the best time. The service was incredible and the food was stellar. I will definitely be coming back!

Casa Ipanema is a great, unique spot for lunch/brunch or dinner. The ambiance is amazing. It truly takes on the feel of a Brazilian beach. It is quiet and relaxing at lunch and fun and musical for dinner. The food is just as good too if not better. The picanha is cooked to perfection. And the moqueca is better than the ones in Brazil. And you could come just for the pão de queijo and be satisfied. I would have appreciated more Brazilian dishes - as those three are the literal only ones. The price is a lot but honestly not that bad for a nice dinner with drinks and a vibe.

First things first, the truffle fondue is an absolute must! I would've been fine just eating that! this restaurant served lychee martinis, which is my favorite in the world so I was excited about that. I also tried their espresso martini, which was tasty. I ordered the Picanha steak and it was cooked to perfection. My partner has the pineapple pork chop. The pineapple salsa is a nice touch! The restaurant is self is beautiful inside, there is also a belly dancer that roams the room. Great place for a date night.

We went to received 2026 in this restaurant, I saw it a lot of times but never be there; for that reason we decided to go there! The food was good, the brocoli was overcooked for me but good! Service in our case TERRIBLE, our waitress was Beatriz, and she looks rude , never smile, she bring the bill to our table and we never asked for it! So I talked with Jose and explain to him whats going on! The rest of the staff excellent! The ambiance nice!

It was my mom's and my first time visiting Casa Ipanema, and we absolutely loved it! The food was incredible. For appetizers, we tried the Tuna Tostada, Cheese Bread, and Grilled Brussels Sprouts--definitely don't miss the Brussels sprouts and cheese bread! For our main courses, we had the Picanha and Casa Branzino, both cooked perfectly. For dessert, we chose the White Melt Brûlée, which was sweet without being overpowering. Overall, the food and service were a solid 10/10, and my mom and I can't wait to come back soon!

Great service from the start. Jose was warm and welcoming. All the servers were on top of it. Plates were delicious, the sauce on the pistachio crusted fish dish was exquisite. I recommend getting the picanha medium rare. Love the late night happy hour!

Ambiance, service, and food was AMAZING! Very professional staff and my whole party was happy with their food. They even had a DJ and fire dance performance. Ivan was so helpful, nice, and attentive to our table. We will definitely be back, the vibes are great!

We ordered truffle fondue which didn't like much I would give that a 2/5, order truffle fries those are a 3/5, loved the cheese breads! We also ordered the tomahawk which I really liked 5/5. Loved the cocktails! Isa helped us that night, she has an amazing costumer service, she explained everything to detailed, so friendly and kind. We all have different taste and preferences, so I would recommend to try this restaurant. The decor and ambience were super cute and modern, music and fire show were a plus to the experience!

Great place to share a meal with out of town guests. Service was excellent as host and servers frequently checked for any needs that they could assist us with. Ambience is perfect for entertaining. The brave fire dancer was very unique in her performance and brought a WOW! value from all who watched. The DJ put together music that enhanced our dining experience . Menu had a good variety to choose from and was shareable amongst ourselves. Free self parking is available with the Biltmore hotel and with restaurant validation for parking ticket

I went here a little after 5 passing by while walking to my hotel and got enticed by the music and Tulum like interior. So I stepped in and was greeted by Jose. Jose was super friendly and told me about the delicious options they have. I was not hungry yet but asked about later and if it was like a club too because there was a DJ and some space to Dance. He said to my joy, we will have a dance with fire at 8 if you come back! I was going to come back for the vibe and food selection and this made me want to come even more! So i came back and enjoyed a seat at the bar and reviewed my food options from their Instagram page that got me influence to order the Branzino $65 served with tortillas, kale, I added in a side of street corn for $11, and chiles toreados for $12. What captured me in the instagram was how good the cucumber salad looked with the tuna $18 which was heavenly and paired well with the guarana antarcite $5. I knew my order and sent it straight to my server Erica who was very helpful in checking out and getting my to go box and receipt after I completed my time. The fire dancer part was so fun it was for like maybe 15 mins for like 2-3 songs. Great show while enjoying my time at this recently opened of one month restaurant! Also at the end they gave me a $15 voucher for when I come back next time! So sweet! Thank you Erica, Jose and bartenders, bussers all staff! I had a great experience by myself. At the end I had a friend that saw me and I went over to their table to see the pan de queso that was something I may have missed by it and too my expectations it was great! I can't wait to come back and eat here again with my other friends too!

Last Friday we tried out Casa Ipanema in downtown LA. Cute decor and ambiance. Great service. Good food. Great entertainment. Cheese bread - yum Truffle fondue - delish with the cheese bread Kale Caesar - yummy but needed more dressing Picanha - pretty good Casa branzino - flavorful Street corn - very good (added leftover corn to my left over kale salad... bomb!) Copacabana - yum Loved the fire dancer. Nice touch! Found parking lot across the street one block over which is under the park.

Casa Ipanema - 10/10 Experience Visited Casa Ipanema for dinner on 8/23 and was seriously impressed. I ordered the Shrimp à la Casserole - a creamy coconut-based dish full of bold spices and perfectly cooked shrimp, served with rice. Absolutely amazing - rich, flavorful, and comforting without being heavy. There was a live DJ spinning great music all night, which gave the place a lively but still laid-back energy. The vibe is Brazil-meets-Tulum - warm woods, tropical textures, and just the right amount of edge to feel elevated but still inviting. Great food, great music, and a beautiful setting. Already planning my next visit.

The ambiance is elegant, little tropical, chic. The service is really Nice, professional, friendly. The food, we had a shareable plate, troufles French fries, and was superb. You have cheese bread, pão de queijo as a cortesy. My Pinot Nour was reall good. For the quality and fancy restaurant, we spent a reasable price. We celebrated our marriage anniversary there while we were waiting for a candlelight event. That was a wonderful night. It is perfect for a date night or coktails in the afternoon. You can enjoy wit a jazz night in Biltmore hotel on Thursday. It is a tip.

Everything about this place was superb! The food, the ambiance, the show, the service!! Ivan was great! The DJ was playing great music. I love a good food and good vibe!

First time here tonight, Nice huge restaurant with a big dining area and also 2 lounge are in the front. Food here is great and the cocktails was also great. Definitely would come back hang out eat and have a few drinks .

I love Gabriel! He was such an awesome waiter! and we enjoy his company Bea was the best of all. Very sweet

Besides the fact that the overall vibe is amazingly bohemian chic, the reason why this place deserves a 10/10 is for their impeccable service. My friend and I were having a great time eating, drinking, and chatting away, that we found ourselves to be the only guests there. Yet, not once did we ever feel rushed nor did the service slow down. The manager was welcoming and genuinely attentive from the time we got there to the time we left. We had a little bit of everything from their apps and the truffle fries were ok, but my fave was the bread they serve in the beginning. For parking, you can park at the Biltmore, either valet or self parking. There is still a fee even after validation, but that's downtown LA for you. Overall, I think this place would be great for both a girls night or a date night. I definitely will want to come back on the nights they have the fire dancers.

We had dinner at Casa Ipanema before a concert at the Biltmore Hotel, and it was a great choice. Being able to walk to the restaurant from the hotel was a huge plus, especially since parking downtown can be such a hassle. As soon as you walk in, the decor really pulls you in. It feels fancy, almost like being in Cancun, which sets a fun vibe for the evening. The service was spot on--friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The food was delicious as well, with great flavors that added to the experience. Overall, Casa Ipanema made for a lovely date night. If you're looking for a nice place to eat before an event at the Biltmore, this is definitely worth checking out!

TLDR: Amazing dinner spot in LA with a scheduled fire performance. Delicious food, great drinks, and lively ambiance. Do not miss the Pão de queijo appetizer. Visiting LA with my friend, we chose this place for dinner and it was wonderful. The scheduled fire performance added so much energy to the night, and making a reservation online was simple. The ambiance was dim yet lively, and the service was attentive throughout the evening. We ordered the Salmon Temaki and the Picanha, both of which were excellent. When the Picanha came out, we completely forgot to take a photo because we were too excited to dive in. For drinks, I had the Copacabana (non-alcoholic) and my friend had the Favela (alcoholic), and both were just wow. The food was so good that we did not want the night to end. A special mention goes to the Pão de queijo, the warm bread Casa Ipanema serves as their starter. It was incredible and we loved it so much that we said yes to another bowl. Our total for everything came to $152.47. Overall, this is a fantastic spot for dinner, especially if you can catch the fire performance. Highly recommend.

I saw this gem on Tik Tok and IMMEDIATELY booked for our next date night and it did not disappoint. Tucked in the historic Millennium Biltmore Hotel, if you drive too fast you might miss it. Parking: There's limited street parking (it's downtown LA) Parking is also available in the hotel parking garage Ambience: Think Beach Club, Boho Chic. Shades of white, peach, lush palm trees. Vibes! We were seated at a table with wide white sofas with palm trees behind us which made for beautiful photos. They have small tables for an intimate space for couples and larger tables for groups. We came on a Sunday night so we missed the live fire show and LIVE Dj. Customer Service: the host and our waitress were wonderful and accommodating. Our waitress seemed to know the menu really well and helped ensure we made the best choices for us Food: FLAVORFUL!! 10/10 We ordered the Tempura Salmon Taco (only comes in 1), Steak, Whole Branzino with a side of corn and rice. Delicious! The whole Branzino is butterflied and deboned: it's large enough to share between 2 people. **My only disappointment was the portion of rice is ridiculously small for the price and perhaps consider 2 tacos instead 1. It's kind of odd to designate it as "shareable" when it's only 1. Drinks: I got the Moca Colada (virgin pina colada) and my partner got the Passion Fruit Caiprinha. They were both satisfying. All in all, a delightful experience all around. I would highly recommend. We plan to return for the LIVE show. ***PS: please consider removing the "Benefits" surcharge. It's very off putting.

Loved this place! Came here for brunch & the bottomless mimosas for $25 was the cherry on top! The selections are different from your typical brunch, however they incorporate the Brazilian roots in all of their dishes which I appreciate. I was told they have a fire dancer & live music on the weekend evenings so I definitely plan to come back!

Exactly what downtown needed! Amazing good, music, service and entertainment! Bohemian vibe with an upper scale than the west side. Not just that, the food was amazing. The fire dancer makes her way by every table on Saturday nights. Servers are always super sweet and team-oriented. Table next to us we're super cool people. This place is the vibe!

Recently reopened ..nice Brazilian place that is not an AYCE type..came for lunch seated quickly ..good selection of items on lunch menu ..served unlimited pao de queso bread which are yummy ..went with a choose three item lunch ..had a picanha taco , shrimp and beef quesadillas..all tasted great ..will be back again

Casa Ipanema really saved our date night after a horrifying first stop at one of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever endured. The entrance was beautiful: warm, colorful and vibrant lighting, greenery, music and interesting art. We were greeted and seated right away. The service was exceptional, all drinks and food came out quickly and we were tended to by multiple restaurant staff. The food was delicious. I really enjoyed the compliment bread basket, it was very unique and delicious. I hope to bring more family and friends here soon.

Food, service, ALL OF IT was 10/10 The restaurant itself is beyond beautiful. We have had the nicest people waiting in us and I've been down here 3/4 times now. Also THE DRINKS!! So flipping good! Definitely worth the time to come in and eat here or enjoy a cocktail. And don't forget to order this at the end of your meal it was mouth watering!

Ivan sold us on the tomahawk steak, and it was Devine! Really quality food, good music, chill servers. Highly recommend

Went to the grand opening. Such a stunning new space. The interior decor is magnificent. Loved the service. Everyone was so hospitable and friendly. The food was great, so were the drinks. I got the pistachio fish which was great and Haik got the steak which also was fantastic. Loved the DJ and the fire show they had

It seems like we've been waiting for this place to open for two or three years now, but just found out by chance that they finally opened, so we wanted to give it a try finally. I'm in DTLA all day, so when I get off work, I'm ready to go home, but after waiting so long for this to open, I had to stay and bring a nice change of clothes. The place has a very cool vibe, love the decor and styling of the place, as well as the ambience. The staff were very welcoming, professional and attentive. Everyone in my party loved the food and drinks that we ordered and we all had a great time in DTLA. PS: I still think the signage out front does not fit the style of the restaurant or the Biltmore and they should really change it up so it looks more finished and representative of the classy location inside.
