"Excellent food. They have all the traditional options, covering from seafood to traditional Brazilian barbecue"
Pedro Torres
"I absolutely love this place! Their seafood is phenomenal—so fresh and flavorful that I was too busy enjoying it to take more pictures. I’ve been here for lunch multiple times, and they’re clearly seafood experts. The oysters were incredibly fresh, and the crab meat was amazing. Their popular caldo do Camaro, Absolutely delicious—everything here tastes fantastic! I also tried the picanha, which was decent but outshined by the seafood. The atmosphere is open and inviting, and while the staff is semi-attentive, the incredible food more than makes up for it."

"Live Crab, Shrimp, Fish Stew, Steak. This is an excellent seafood restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. They have live crab in a tank. We ordered crab with the coconut sauce and it was delicious. My father-in-law loved the fish stew. My husband had the steak and I had a bite and it was very tender. My sister-in-law enjoyed the shrimp which were her favorite."
