“ My gf and I love this place so much! It's located up the street from the Adams Morgan strip in DC. We came here with friends for the first time a few months ago and loved the food. The menu is huge which could be a bit overwhelming but we haven't had a bad experience with anything we've ordered so far. I love the Coconut Cream Chicken with coconut rice from here. She loves the steak and it is delicious! The vibes are cozy in here and the owner is very welcoming and accommodating. ”
“ Had dinner here and was pretty impressed with the menu selection. Not only is there a large variety of items to include salads, pasta, meats, rice, and more, but almost every on the menu is gluten free and many items are vegan friendly. Staff is friendly and attentive, din in area nice, and food is great. Also, you got to love the name of the restaurant (I had to listen to "The Girl From Ipanema" by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Frank Sinatra). Overall, we had a great dining experience. ”
“ Food was great, ambience good, service was good. Although our server wasn't always attentive to our drink refills, others were. Friendly atmosphere. Truly loved the food. If you decide to try this place, keep in mind there will be no parking especially on the weekends cause the off street parking is very limited and no parking garage nearby. A family member had to eat somewhere else and not able to join us after having no luck where to park after dropping us off for our reservation. ”
“ I was here for a birthday dinner with a large group of 20 people. This restaurant was one of the very few that would accommodate such a large group without booking a private room. I ordered a glass of house Cabernet Sauvignon and the picanha biro. The picanha biro was delicous. The meat was cooked perfectly. The collard greens were garlicky and delicious. The rice was also delicious and I enjoyed the crunchy pieces of potato sticks sprinkled on top. My boyfriend ordered the feijoada which he said was really good. Again, collard greens were super tasty and meat was very flavorful and well cooked. The food didn't take too long to come out and everyone received their meal at the same time. Also since we were celebrating a birthday, the restaurant provided complimentary cakes for our group! One chocolate, one vanilla (both cakes were able to serve over 20 people. Plus there was extra!) Overall we had a great experience here and it was a wonderful place for a large group birthday dinner. ”
“ The thing about caipirinhas is that they taste so refreshing you can forget they are alcoholic. Beware. :-) This is a Brazilian-run establishment and it shows, not just in the variety of dishes but in the authenticity you'll taste. Make sure to try their paella (not often found in Brazil), their feijoada (found pretty much everywhere in Brazil) and their cheese mouse with passionfruit coulis. This won't be a cheap meal, but this is DC. ”
“ This was a nice trip back to Brazil. I had a hard time choosing what to order as it's difficult to find the menu items found here anywhere else in the US. The restaurant is a little on the classier side. Definitely a great date spot. I decided on the caldo de feijao for a hot bowl of soup because it was freezing outside. The flavor was so good and immediately reminded me of the feijoada I had back in São Paulo. I also ordered the salada verde which was decent with romaine lettuce and a creamy dressing that was okay. For my entree I had the Bisteca de contra file (ribeye steak) with mixed vegetables. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Wonderful experience here, I would definitely recommend. ”
“ A very tasty restaurant in Adams Morgan! The interior is beautiful, and the service is very good. The food is pricey and not quite as good as I'd hope. The shrimp brochette was $10 for that small plate, and the chicken could have been more tender. The lettuce was a little wet as well. But the flavors were amazing! I loved the thick salad dressing and the delicious black bean soup. This is a great space for large groups and had many open tables on a Monday night. ”
