Yesterday wife and I went to this place for dinner. However, the luck was not on our side as we had one of the worst downpour in Rio during the night. Even though we took a cab there, both of us were completed soaked by the time we entered the door.
The great service started by the waiter offering us blanket so that we would be shivering throughout the meal, but it didn't end there and I will get into that later.
Because we were so wet and cold, we started our meal with some miso soups and hot green teas. Both were great. From other people's review, we really wanted to try their cocktails but because of the circumstances, we didn't really feel like it so we ordered the sushi combination for two. The food came rather timely as there weren't as many guests due to the weather. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality and quantity of the sushi and sashimi. The fish were very fresh and we loved the sushi with sour cream. I would highly recommend the combination if you are two people. We capped off the night with some desert (seasonal fruits) as ice creams didn't appeal to us particularly. We were informed the fruit choice was pineapple and it was garnished with small pieces of lime peels which made it very tasty.
After that, we decided to call the night and just go back to our hotel however, the rain kept on pouring and Uber was just not available for some reason. The staff offered to call a cab for us, however, there aren't many cabs either. But they were trying their best. After about 20-30 mins, we were finally on our way.
Overall, the food was great. Coming from a place like Toronto, we had our fair share of great sushi's but I have to say the quality of sushi here is just as good as anywhere. The price is a bit high but given the quantity, we think it is fairly reasonable. In terms of the service, it was even better. I would give 10 star for the service if possible. I am sure our experience would have been even better if we were dry and not freezing, but C'est la vie (that is life). Weather is something you just cannot control.
