AWESOME FOOD for sure. I have been here in the same week couple times, the first time service was great, it was this young lady who was my waitress, but couple days later it was this guy, he was just awful. So unprofessional, not there when needed to order something, and every time he came, he was chewing something. First time I left good tip, but second time not much. With the AWESOME food you offer, your service needs to keep up with your food!

This restaurant is one of my favorite places in Seattle. I loved the chicken croquettes with the spicy green sauce and the Feijoada (you'll regret not getting the portion for 2). It's a hearty stew of black beans, smoked pork, sausages, bacon, and ham hocks. It's served with rice, collard greens (yes, please), and three slices of orange. I enjoy it because it reminds me of soul food. The steak and mashed potatoes will having you praying for more, people. Whatever you decide, I hope you enjoy. Also, please be comfortable with high noise levels. There is live music. Feel free to enjoy the vibe and join in when asked to dance (especially if asked by an adorable two year old).

Authentic Brazilian food cooked just like you would find it at home. It is a small Mom and Pop place that you could very easily miss walking or driving by, but worth a stop. Their house special is a traditional beef stew type dish that is simply amazing. Its a great spot when you are in the mood for something different or when you need to just sip a Caipirinha on the patio. Its one of the most unique places in Seattle and I am glad I was able to frequent it for so long.

This is a great way to feel the love of Brasil. I go to this restaurant to reconnect with the tastes, sounds and people from Brasil. The food is great, the atmosphere is even better. Love the live music and the friendly staff. I would go more often if I lived closer.

New Year’s Eve 2015 - Family tradition to scour the SEA metro area for food from a new "Country" - This year was Brazil. Family of five and two close friends. It was quite cold that night, and if the place has heat, it wasn't working, and small space heaters were losing the battle - not a crisis - but definitely unexpected. The appetizer COXINHA DE GALINHA was outstanding, and a highlight of the meal. AIPIM FRITO (Yucca fries) was also very good, as were everyone's beverages. I will say I thought the $10 BATIDA DE MARACUJÁ (Cachaça blended with passion fruit juice and condensed milk) was delicious, but was a pretty tiny portion, served in a medium, slender glass quite different that shown on the website. Main dishes followed. Both the Festa and Primavera were ordered, and both were good. The former if you really like mushrooms (and I do) - the latter if you like coconut sauce (this was the table favorite). Several people ordered chicken dishes, and all noted that the chicken was very tough - maybe a bad run on roosters, but seemed to be quite overcooked. One person ordered FRANGO COM QUIABO, and again tough chicken, and a little heavy on the okra - just not a preferred flavoring for this palette. Food isn't the main reason for the lower rating - it really was mediocre quality service (and I am generally not a demanding patron). The servers were all young, bless them, and just didn't know the food, struggled with questions, didn't really check on how things were, as one typically encounters - in sum: inexperienced and inattentive. Might be a better bet in the summer – where I would order COXINHA DE GALINHA, AIPIM FRITO & Primavera and probably be very happy. Good luck!
