    We had a wonderful outside patio dinner there last night during the evening of Porchfest. Such a welcoming and friendly staff, great food, great caipirinha- agree with previous comments about this. I highly recommend the restaurant!

    the food was delicious, unique, good staff, found parking a couple of blocks away. Would recommend this for anyone looking for a unique experience. One thing to note, sometimes the staff clears the table when there is still food on the plate and they neglect to ask you if you are done-which they should do.

    The “churrasco misto” is a joke, don’t waste your time with this place.

    Had not been here in years and remembered why it’s a favorite. Great cocktails and food. Finally a restaurant that’s full but not too loud to hear a conversation

    This was a gem. The food was excellent and the service was very good. A very well run family restaurant that provides a Brazilian dining experience that isn’t a carbon copy of Fogo de Chao. Unique, delicious, tasteful, large portions and an excellent value and is also easy on your wallet. We will visit again on our next visit to Washington D.C.
