We were here tonight just for dinner with my wife, with kids and work we finally found some time to enjoy dinner as a couple and unfortunately we chose this brazilian r, everything was good until they served our food, the lady works there messed up with my wife’s food giving the wrong plate and when we told her about it she didn’t even offer to fix the order to get the right plate, my wife decided to keep with the plate anyway cause was late already, but that plate was awful taste, oh well… not a nice experience unfortunately.

($100 dumped plus our time)

I think they weren't expecting many visitors on the Sunday I visited. There was only one waitress to serve seven tables and also tend the bar. The food was good.

Food was great. Service was great. Entertainment was enjoyable. Handicap accessible. Restroom also handicap accessible.

Food is always amazing. Moqueca mariscos is our go to-delicious and fresh. Service was top notch. Even though they were down servers, our waiter was a class act! He made sure every table was treated like they were the VIP table. Truly appreciated the effort and attention to detail. Don't pass on the caipirinha- incredible drink to complement the Brazilian cuisine.

Food: It's a hit or miss. Their moqueca dishes are good, but Bobo Capixaba is bland and tastes like a taro puree mixed with grits. The worst was picanha grelhada - a piece of meat only for those with powerful jaws, capable of chewing otherwise unchewable animal muscle fiber. An 18% tip was added automatically to our bill, which went unnoticed by my brother, who gave them a regular tip, accepted without any comment, although the waitress should have attracted his attention to the fact that the tip was already added. By the way, imposing an 18% "tip" regardless of the quality of service is a very poor practice. Just for that reason alone, I will never go to that restaurant again.

My husband loves the shrimp moqueca. I love the plantains and cocktails. Nice environment for date night or family dinner. Family run business - feel like a guest at someone's house. Live music is great on weekends.

Food, service and ambiance all scored 10/10. Our first time here and we were so excited to try the stew in a clay pot. I love my food served hot and the flavor of the stew was just the right amount of spice. Everything was perfect and we got seated next to the window with view of the harbor. Live music that was not loud and very romantic. Great time and I highly recommend this place.

Great food but we thought it was too salty ?

Nice harbor location where you can see the boats from the dining area. At night time the boats were lit up during Christmas it was very pretty. Food wise I really enjoyed the symbol parts of palm salad with the creamy dressing. My husband's picanha steak was excellent and cooked perfectly and the sides of yuca fries, farofa (yuca flour( and rice and beans were very well prepared. I had the bomba stew and it was thick with food quality seafood like calamari. But I think there was something this do that didn't react well with my gut so I wanted to highlight that for anyone with a sensitive stomach. Also the portions were a bit on a small side given the high price. Otherwise a good nice dinner out.

To this day, this was my favorite restaurant. It took them an hour to bring us the food, which was cold and salty. My drink, the food.. Everything was nasty ?

The overall vide is really nice. The empanadas were good. I would give them 5 stars. They could use some creamy dipping sauce. The steak and beef stroganoff was not as good. Everything was really salty. The steak was supposed to be medium well and it was undercooked and tough. The beef in the stroganoff was tough as well as the rice was a little crunchy. It was my birthday dinner. I did not even want a free desert. I read previous ratings, I know they can do better. Maybe it was because we were seated an hour before closing.

Moqueca Brazilian Cuisine delivered a delightful experience with their Seabass Moquecas, Cape Santa appetizer, Quibes, and Camarao ao Alho. The seabass moquecas were rich and flavorful, showcasing Brazilian cuisine at its best. The Cape Santa and Quibes made for great starters with their tasty fillings and textures. Camarao ao Alho, or garlic shrimp had bold flavors of garlic and perfectly cooked shrimp. Overall, a satisfying taste of Brazil.
